Zoe: Lesbian Dating & Chat Reviews

by 1Chance4Laura

I have a lot of problems with the this app app. So many fake pics being used by females. I have chatted with females that have led me on and then admit they are using someone else’s pictures. The location brings up females too far away even though I have my location on and have changed it on Zoe to the closest biggest cities I live near and change it back again. No one reads my profile, which isn’t Zoe ’s fault, but there is nothing better on Zoe. Same old thing. I find the swipe too sensitive as you have to tap to bring up the hearts or the X, you may accidentally swipe upward, making you adore someone you don’t and you lose a heart. After I got told by a female that she was using her mother’s pictures, I chatted with a team member of this app. I had paid for the first month, then the second month subscription was paid for me even though she had decided to credit me a free month for that female having a fake profile. They stopped my subscription not using the correct dates I had paid. In other words, I was paying for that “free month” for the same month that the this app team member thought I was receiving free. I had to explain to her how I was still owed a full month. She corrected it the next day even though I got ripped off by 3 days of not being able to use the premium part of Zoe . Oh well, Zoe is definitely not worth it in my area and it has it glitches along with many fake accounts, just like any other dating app.

The team of the creators for Zoe kindly offered me a free 10 day trial of premium. I thought that was amazing and kind of them to do, so the stars do not reflect Zoe developer's. What it does reflect is Zoe itself. As far as I realized, Zoe is extremely difficult to make connections on and carry conversations. Zoe is lovely and the structure is really well done. However even with premium for 10 days, matching with people was almost impossible. I don’t know if it’s because the user base is so small, or if there’s still bug fixes so you can match with people. I’m not sure what it is, but it just hasn’t been helpful and I haven’t made any connections like I do on Tinder and Bumble. I love Zoe because it’s genuinely for queer women. That’s my favorite part. I think it needs a lot of improvement and more advertising so there will be more queer women present for the chance to grow this apps popularity. It has a lot of potential. I think that messages and matching should be more available based on the people you like etc. it’s just hard to navigate even with premium. So without premium it’s going to be a lot more difficult to make any matches.

I thought the ladies would make dating better, but nope, Zoe is just like the rest of the dating apps so don’t get your hopes up like I did lol. It’s worth giving it a shot but you probably shouldn’t pay for it unless money is not a concern to you or you’re in a rush to meet someone. However, unless you pay you won’t be able to see or chat with the girls that LIKE you AKA swiped right. See if you can get a free trial instead of paying for it right away. There was a kind woman from their team who offered me 10 days for free the first day I signed up but I’m deleting my account after this review because Zoe isn’t for me as it’s no different than Tinder or Bumble, or any of the apps out there for that matter. There are ‘weirdos’ here too. Check it out though as your experience might be different from others’. A big thank you to the woman that offered me a free trial. She was very kind and professional! 🙏🥇👏

The functionality of Zoe is pretty simple. I liked that database has a lot more local listings in my area than some of the other dating apps out there. One of the neat features is that if somebody likes you first, you get a notification, even though their profile is grayed out/locked (unless you have a premium membership), typically if you go to your match suggestions they’ll be on the top of the list so you can very quickly see who recently liked you and learn more.

The voice recording option is also great so you can leave sound bytes for authenticity. I also appreciate that Zoe has a verifiable function to show which users are for real.

Overall I have had more matches and conversations with Zoe than the others I’ve tried out there. I might want to go with premium to see what I’ve missed - the “rewind” feature will let you look back on people may have accidentally swiped left on - whoops! I had a few that i didn't mean to and wanted to check out again.

Zoe has some good qualities. The swipe left or right aspect is nice. If you choose to answer a few simple questions regarding how you feel about dating and friendship, you will see the results of how much you have in common with the other user while viewing their profile. It’ll also show how similar you two are based on some aspects of your personality, such as how optimistic/pessimistic you are, neat freak/messy, etc. Although I do enjoy some qualities of Zoe, I’d have to say I’ve been having trouble finding people. I can’t reverse previous dislikes unless I subscribe to be a member. I assumed that I’d be able to see people again but I didn’t want to make up my mind so suddenly and swipe right if I really wasn’t interested. So now there’s no one who matches with me. It also doesn’t allow the user to see who has liked your profile unless you give them a heart (I think we’re limited to one a day) or unless you subscribe. So there’s some good, some bad. I’d say if you really want to enjoy Zoe , it’s probably better for you to become a member. If you don’t have the money for that, I’d say go ahead and pass..

Love Zoe (so far) and I’ve been using it for a week now. It’s pretty much the same as those dating apps you see nowadays where you have to scroll left to nay and right to YAY and this one I believe gives you an option to scroll up to “adore” ? It’s pretty legit in the sense that it doesn’t lag or freeze on you and what I like about it is that it stops you from scrolling time to time to ask you targeted questions to further link you with girls who are interested in the same interests. Like with all other dating sites, this one gives you a PREMIUM option asking to be paid for either once a month, every 3 months, or every 12 months and also gives you the option to purchase more hearts to girls you REALLY find aesthetically amusing (ha). The PREMIUM option gives you the access to view all the girls who have liked you whereas the having no premium blurs them out on the “likes you” page. The only concern I have with Zoe (and like all other dating apps) is that you can’t chat to whoever you want - just the girls who have liked you , otherwise it’s a great app to chat and possibly meet up with the girls you get along with and possibly have a thing with :) enjoy ladies !

I’ve never used a dating app before and hadn’t really thought about using one until the other night. When I entered Zoe Store i typed Lesbian dating apps, i wasn’t sure what I was looking for but this app was the first to pop up. I was quick to download it and start. It asks informational get to know you questions though little surveys which is fun and easy. It is rather simple to use swipe left for no interest and swipe right for interest. The admin contacted me shortly after downloading and setting everything up. I was surprised to this and rather excited as I could talk to a real person about my thoughts on Zoe . It’s simple, clean in formate, and user friendly. Not to mention all the personal stuff you can add, I liked being able to simple click a button for drawing rather then having to type out all the things I like to do as there are a lot. My only down point is the appearance options are a bit limited, my eyes are hazel so they never stay a dark brown or honey color but rather are always changing hue. There wasn’t a hazel option so I defaulted to dark brown as it was a cool as I could et to my natural color.

A growing app , but a pretty awesome one . I was super excited when I found Zoe because other sites don’t allow you to find what your looking for , most apps don’t account for your sexual preference or gender identity but Zoe does , it also allows you to write what your looking for whether dating , friendship Ect . What I like is that they have a whole bunch of questionares and things you can like / dislike which helps you match with people who have similar interests and likes / dislikes .
When I downloaded it I was skeptical since other apps haven’t been to great , but there are these awesome moderators that help with any - all questions and allow for the experience to be so much better . Truthfully having premium would make things better but it’s not one of those apps that you can’t have without it , it works pretty much the same . I do wish there were more ways to match with some one though , like maybe communities or like big chats so people could meet others faster without only swiping . ( Or a general feed ) other then That it’s honestly really awesome ! Thank this app !

I tried Zoe looking for friends because i thought both the users and Zoe itself would be more open to that kind of thing. I was pleasantly unsurprised to find Friendship as an option. That being said, I really would like to be able to connect with people that I perhaps would have missed otherwise. Unfortunately that is not an option unless you get the premium. I understand that Zoe developers should get paid, but perhaps simply limit matches for free users (one a month?) Again, I don’t know how dating apps usually operate, but I think this would help people connect positively. (especially us lonely wallflowers who just want a conversation) I wouldn’t honestly be upset at seeing some ads in my app if my ability to connect with others in Zoe is bettered. This is how most freemium apps operate, and I don’t mind it much.

The Admins and support are very friendly and extremely responsive, the best I’ve ever encountered in any app. If you ever have any trouble, just let them know and I’m sure they’ll be able to help.

I’ve really enjoyed Zoe so far! I like that there is a place to write a bit and pick some passions so that there’s something to start talking about. It’s also just visually lovely and easy to navigate. I do like the quiz section and it’s range of questions and their yes-no simplicity. Based on that Zoe summarizes the compatibility by percentage when you view a profile, but there are times when I don’t care what someone’s answer is (Is Tina your favorite character on the L Word?) and times when it matters more. I wish there was a way to separate out some more crucial compatibility questions or allow for the fact that I don’t need someone to answer exactly like I did. I also left a star off because if you’ve gone through every profile that shows up in your filtered range, there’s nothing to do but wait unless you sign up for a premium account. Sometimes it’s hard making a snap judgement, so it’d be nice either to have a “Skip” option that’s neither like or pass, or have some profiles shuffle back up.

this app is pretty amazing! For people who have used other dating apps, I honestly think this one is a lot easier to use, and it goes a little more in depth. In addition to adding pictures, writing a bio, and following the same swiping rules as other apps, this app gives you more options to identify yourself and what you’re looking for.

this app is one of the more inclusive dating apps in terms of being able to have choices that represent a variety of gender identities and sexual orientations. Also, Zoe asks you a series of questions about your lifestyle, what you do for fun, and how you view dating so that when you look at another person’s profile, you can see how much you match up (like 80% similarity in fun, 50% in dating, etc). It also lets you pick what you’re looking for - dating, friends, etc so that your profile and others can be clear.

It’s a really great app, and the only reason I gave 4 stars is because it’s new and not a lot of people are on it. If Zoe had more people - it would get a 5, so spread the word and try it out!

I was just curious at first what Zoe offers to the community. I saw that it has good reviews, then once I downloaded it, VOILA~ I've been hooked at it already. Not to mention that this is my first dating app, I decided to keep it as I am eager not to miss any chance of meeting pretty nice people for friendship, dating, or a relationship. Zoe allows you to chat with ladies whom you got a 'match', meaning you mutually like each other. So be more attentive in swiping as when you swipe it to the left, it means, she needs to have a better luck next time in being liked ^_~ Swiping to the right means you like her, which also requires attention ^_^ The sound notification after having a match is so cool and can be exciting for ppl like me who's quite new in apps like this. The questions leading to your lifestyle, dating, and fun preferences are pretty cool as well. Some other features are exclusive for premium accounts. I look forward to having great chats and friends here and kudos to the admins for keeping Zoe clean and decent. P.S. One reason to keep Zoe is its friendly admins. The one assigned to follow-up my usage experience is awesome, with a great smile..yieee ^__^ A point to improve could be the browsing options; if possible, make them reversible even for free accounts to maximize the browsing experience ^_^ To the admins, keep up the good work and to my fellow ladies here, enjoy and good luck ;)

Zoe is straight forward and easy to navigate. So far I haven’t been lucky enough to matched with anyone, however, I do find it useful the chat will automatically start if I mutually like someone. That in itself is a huge plus since it’ll help eliminate those who aren’t interested in getting to know me. Therefore not wasting time sending messages. So far there aren’t a lot of females in my surrounding area but the scope might open if I chose to pay into Zoe . Idk if there is a advance filter (premium) letting a user add the option of how many miles within they would like to search along with another search bar to try out different zip-codes. If anyway possible, I would like a display showing the last time a person logged on and if a message was already sent to that user. Hopefully I will be able to meet new people using Zoe.

this app is similar enough to the typical dating apps out there that it’s simple to use, yet has enough unique features that it actually distinguishes itself—perfect balance. The questions it asks are easy yes or no questions, so you don’t feel like you’re having to write a memoir (or having to be “witty” or “cute”). Once you answer the questions, when you swipe through Zoe it shows you how similar (in terms of the question categories that you’ve answered and the general info you select about yourself) you are to each girl. I answered all the three categories pretty much right after downloading it, so (again) it’s simple. The user base isn’t very big yet (however there’s a decent sized database); plus, this app is new so hopefully more girls will download Zoe ! I actually came across this app because I was going to redownload another lesbian dating app that I have deleted more times than I can count, and then saw that there was a new app with 5 star reviews that looked promising. So, yea—I definitely recommend it and encourage everyone to give it some time after downloading to get the user base up!

Installed a few dating apps just to see how it all works. Going through them I noticed quite a few downsides. And so far, this app is proving itself to be one of the best apps available at the moment.
The design is very neat and welcoming. In the beginning one should verify their account by sending devs the photo of you, that’s why you can really be sure there are no fakes in there. There are also not many limitations when it comes to premium membership, you swipe, chat, all free to use. I also haven’t seen any ads so far. Already in the beginning you are contacted by support which are gathering feedback, and the ladies know how important feedback is, not only in the relationships.
There is still a lot of space for improvement. For example, the questionnaire and overall ad for Zoe so more people know about it all over the globe.
But overall, 5/5. Great job!

by Unconditionaljoy

I just joined and so far I like it. Zoe ask you questions about your likes and dislikes to help you weed through the the women that you don’t have anything in common with. They know that opposites attract but there must be a common goal or interest to help them meet as well. I also like the fact that the staff contacts you and ask your opinion about Zoe and what can they do to improve it for you which may help other woman as well. It’s hard to meet friends while out and about because face it most of them are looking at their phones texting or watching another app. The love of their life maybe standing right next to them but they don’t know it; however, if you’re on Zoe you may see her and if she ends up standing beside you one day you can look up and say hey don’t I know you for somewhere😊. Even if you don’t make a love connection you may just make a friend for life and that’s worthy of searching for.

I'm gonna keep it real; this is the first dating app I've ever used. I don't know what I was expecting, but I'm honestly really happy about what I've seen so far! so if you're new to the game and just super anxious (like me) there's an option for friendship that I am just beyond thankful for. but don't worry, there's an option for dating and relationships as well. my favorite part about Zoe it probably how much you're able to personalize your profile (as far as answering basic questions about yourself along with a three part questionnaire).
I live in a small, fairly judgemental town, so finding people with the same interest as me is pretty intimidating. but Zoe has made meeting people who I didn't even know live near me super easy (and low-key fun).
so basically, if you're reading this for some type of validation or confirmation to download and try Zoe , I say yes, definitely, go for it. do the girls in your area a favor and introduce yourself!

You it’s nice to get a premium membership for writing this review BUT- I actually really enjoy Zoe. Yes I’m fairly new to it but it’s still a great app to use to get started to dating apps. I thought the free sign-up but rally easy to follow. And I think it’s so cool that the people you see are based off questions you answer throughout the questionnaire. So like you can see how much of a compatibility you have with some just based of questions. I think if you are serious about dating apps then this one is the right one for you. It’s super simples yet so impacting! I have to admit at first I didn’t think I was going to like Zoe. But after some time I learned to love it. I didn’t like how I needed a membership to do some things but for the most part you actually can do a lot without one. Off the bat you have a team member from Zoe to hp you out with any questions regarding Zoe and that’s just awesome of you are starting out just like me. So I say keep up the good work app developers!

I’ve been on Zoe for about a couple of days, and everything is going smoothly. You post a couple of selfie’s, fill out a short bio, and pick out a couple of personal interests/hobbies from this long list of options. After that, you have the option to verify your account with a simple selfie demonstrating that you are who you say you are. From there, you begin this swiping process of which involves swiping left for not being interested in someone or swiping right for who you are interested in. If you and the person you swiped are mutually interested, you’ll end up with a match, and you’ll be able to message each other. There are more options available to make this site easier to find matches however, but they involve either a monthly or yearly paid membership. All in all, this is a pretty easy to use app. Everything is straightforward, you just have to use your best judgment when it comes to actually interacting with other people.

I like it so far. I like the user-friendly interface, and the inviting atmosphere it provides. To be fair, I’ve only just started to use Zoe, so I’m not sure if it’s going to be successful for me or not. I’m not having much luck with other dating apps. Compared to the other dating apps, this one seems to provide a more thorough assessment of each individual, which will helps loads more than the other apps because it creates a better playing field in terms of chemistry and compatibility. I am definitely a fan of this feature, which I haven’t found on /any/ of the other LGBT dating apps I have tried. Another huge bonus, in my opinion, is that they give you compatibility ratings in the categories of lifestyle, dating, and fun, with the other users you’re looking at. This has really helped me narrow down who I find attractive, within the parameters of who I’d be compatible with. I’m honestly impressed with the comprehensive service Zoe provides, even to basic uses who haven’t upgraded. This is quickly becoming my favorite dating app (:
