More standards for women

2024-04-25

I am a young professional male with some good prospects for myself in life and that’s great but what’s not great is BlackGentry. For a 21 year old male it’s definitely not BlackGentry you want to use. The algorithm is buggy for sure as I kept getting recommended the same women I swiped left on. The women are not professional at all. They look like drag queens and have weed and other substances in their pictures. Some women on there only want to sell “content” whatever that means. This is just a slightly higher barrier of entry than BLK and not to mention why is there other women than black on here? I thought this was FUBU??? Anyways…

Advice to young professional black men do not get on BlackGentry leave it for everyone else your better than it.

Advice to the developers of BlackGentry please do more checks on women accounts as well as men because quality men are not gonna stay on BlackGentry if there are lack luster women everywhere and the false advertisement of quality BLACK women.

Misleading

2024-04-09

The absolutely worst dating app. They advertise “ambitious black singles” but there is no special screening different from other apps so u are literally getting the same ppl I would get from any other app. Also you can’t see who likes you unless you upgrade and and not a lot of men I’ve seen on here are willing to upgrade to match and communicate with you. This is a fairly new service and after 4 days of a paid subscription I was given a message there were no other profiles for me to view. Again, the advertisement makes you believe you will meet a higher caliber mate but there is no screening or requirements that make BlackGentry any different from others and if u don’t upgrade to a paid subscription so many features are blocked making this a full waste of time.

Edit: I’ve read the developers comment and of course it’s their job to try to make BlackGentry seem good but essentially it’s no different than any others that all functions are free. You can send a very limited amount of messages and u can’t see who likes YOU.I’ve seen the exact same ppl I’ve seen on FB dating, BLK etc.
That’s FINE but the advertisement is very misleading. I agree with the person who commented BlackGentry is boring. So much so I deleted BlackGentry with time still left on the monthly subscription I purchased.
A waste of time and money.

Don’t Let Them Gaslight You!

2024-04-09

I really wanted to support BlackGentry because it presented as a platform to meet upscale African-Americans but my experience has been terrible. I’ve tried to offer support by contacting these folks via Instagram but it hasn’t led to any significant improvement.

1. BlackGentry ’s functionality is poor and it constantly just shuts down for no reason while using it. Messages from people who are interested, don’t always show up even though a notification will appear on my phone’s home screen. Whenever the developers update BlackGentry , you have to delete it and download it again—which is inconvenient and confusing. Admit these issues instead of denying they exist!!

2. The selection pool of men is not upscale by far!
Create filters to allow users to sort out people who don’t complete their profiles. That alone would make a big difference

3. The developers will not own up to the poor experience, and instead throw the dissatisfaction back on the customer like their unhappiness is a fault. Replies from them feel like clap-backs from a hurt child versus sincere customer care

Some acknowledgement and grace on the part of the developers would go a long way and yet, there is no way to get a refund. It’s all good though. Karma will catch up with these folks as one day someone will publicly air BlackGentry’s dirty laundry.

Disappointed and turned-off!!

Needs work! Don’t WASTE your time!

2024-08-12

BlackGentry glitches so much! It won’t allow you to view your matches unless you pay so no it’s not really free! Update the software! It’s low quality. So much potential I’m disappointed! You put more effort in your marketing.

The person responding to critical reviews seems very passive and rude. On tinder and other apps you can see your matches for free and message them! On here you only get direct messages and mines were from guys I swiped left on! Take that feature off why would anyone want messages from ppl they swiped left on. This is so disappointing!

Instead of being passive maybe make some changes! The good reviews are from their workers! The men on BlackGentry is dusty and not professionals! Stop marketing as such!

Talk about “meet ambitious singles”! They’re on there smoking & throwing up gang signs! Ambitious where?! Your so called screening process is off! I can’t believe y’all are not listening to people! You keep getting the same bad reviews!

Their business insta page is very much deceitful! I signed up for no reason! Don’t respond back to me explaining and being passive! BlackGentry needs to do better or your business will go down and teach the person that’s responding to get out of their feelings!

Boring & Deceiving

2024-04-09

I joined BlackGentry in hopes of finding people with class & quality as stated in BlackGentry. I assumed the other members were single professionals that keep their pants around their waist. It’s the complete opposite & it’s inconsistent. You see a few decent men that at least look presentable and even state more than just a few words when you read about them. The rest gives me POF vibes , I don’t see anything classy about some of the members. I hate to be judgmental or shallow but I do pay attention to appearance. If I’m on a classy dating app why do I see nothing but men wearing saggy jeans throwing up middle fingers? Ew ! Also, the fact that I spent $24 just to see who liked my profile was a waste. Honestly, I don’t care about the money. I just want my time back.

I do appreciate them wanting you to verify your identification , but there should be some kind of standard of how you carry yourself, I thought that’s what made BlackGentry different than the rest. The least they could’ve done was post a selfie, I wouldn’t have skipped so much.

This app is just boring

2024-04-09

I took a chance on BlackGentry because it was FUBU and I really wanted to stay away from the big box store dating apps. I paid for the service and took time to upload a complete profile with CLEAR pics (face and full length). I was so excited to get started but once I got on BlackGentry left me feeling totally deflated! First, the questions are very vague and don’t allow you to leave enough detail or even show your personality. Some (men in my case) are just lazy and only leave one sentence or one word answers so I can’t get intrigued. Then, if you do find someone who catches your attention you can only “like” them and you can’t get back to their profile for a second look once you do this. And how do you know who’s viewing YOUR profile? There’s no way to tell if your profile is getting any traffic at all. I’m in the DC area so I know we’ve got a ton of attractive, professional singles out here who are ready to mingle but they must not be on BlackGentry! I only saw ONE person that I was interested in and I guess I have to sit back and hope he responds. Then there’s the buying of tokens even if you pay for a membership. It’s like playing Candy Crush and it’s kinda belittling in my opinion...most of the 40 and over crowd probably won’t appreciate this! Looks like I’ll be signing on to Match after all.

Don’t waste your time

2024-08-12

I wanted to believe BlackGentry would be better than others I’ve tried, and of course support us. But do not waste your time; BlackGentry is a joke. There’s a cap on likes (even if you’re swiping left/passing on people), the people on BlackGentry are not even close in caliber to the people they show in their ads/social media, and the hopeful matches I did get never responded to messages. Anyone can message you even if you don’t match so I received a ton of messages from audacious geriatrics (I’m in my early 30s and not looking for a sugar daddy) and babies (22-26 year olds). You can only filter by distance (miles) and gender so any and every one pops up as an option. My 1 star is for effort and because y’all are also Black, but BlackGentry gets zero stars. They have to be paying people who gave anything more than 3 stars because absolutely not.

Money Hungry App

2024-03-30

Like others I wanted to support BlackGentry because it is for us, but BlackGentry seems to be very money hungry & not about black “love” at all. Other apps that have been successful & that are actually productive and cost little to no money at all. Again I understand that a small start up such as BlackGentry must make money in order to keep BlackGentry & it’s developers afloat, but i feel as if they should’ve taken another route & focused more on advertising instead of milking the pockets of black singles seeking love or a partner. Apps like BLK (which is for blacks by blacks), Tinder, Bumble and Facebook Dating are light years ahead of BlackGentry solely based on the money aspect of it. Bumble as well cannot compete with FB dating or Tinder because of their paywall. The developers of BlackGentry should go back a change their paywall to make BlackGentry more applicable for black singles.

$30 for 1 month

2024-03-30

BlackGentry is almost exactly like tagged and you literally can’t see anyone or do anything without paying first. Search for user is blurred. When you go to the lounge and click on people BlackGentry tells you to pay. You also get put on a waitlist until someone approves your pictures. Hella notifications for nothing. They make it hard for you to delete your pictures. When you click your pictures it says camera gallery and cancel. You can’t replace the picture unless there’s a face. Deleted and removed! REPLY: I wanted to delete my pictures because I don’t trust y’all with my content after I delete my account, and there are no free features on that app. The subject says $30 for one month, so why would you even offer me subscriptions? Obviously it’s a problem. BlackGentry is just like Tagged BLK and any other trash app don’t play with me.

Pay for your matches. Just use BLK it’s much better.

2024-08-15

If you don’t have the premium subscription, it does not matter how many likes you have. I’ve been on BlackGentry for two months and BlackGentry says that I have 50 likes. Over those two months I’ve swiped at least 1000 profiles with my range all the way up to 500 miles. It’s almost as if BlackGentry hides any profiles that like you in order for you to see them you would have to pay. I use other apps such as BLK that do not hide your matches in regardless if you premium membership, it will always put your matches in front of you. This is just an app looking to profit off a black love. I wish all those who are really looking for love to find what they’re looking for. You won’t find it here unless you pay a ridiculous amount of money. one of the things they brought themselves on is the screening process which is pretty watered down because they are still fake profiles and women trying to sell their selves for a profit. Be careful in queens.

Hate it

2024-04-09

BlackGentry have so many bugs. Don’t waste your time. BlackGentry isn’t even opening at this point. When I was able to access BlackGentry , it kept kicking me out, alert me that there’s new messages but the messages took forever to actual populate up. It’s a pain altogether and definitely not worth subscribing to. They have a llooonnnggggg way to go for it to be an ok app. Seems like there’s no real effort to fix the bugs. Not sure if it’s related but ever since downloading BlackGentry I’ve been receiving a LOT of spam calls and emails. It’s annoying.

Received a response from the company in regards to no emails from me to them about the issue. Now I need to update my review more correctly. The swipe left/right function sometimes doesn’t work 70% of the time. They show the same profiles you had swiped left on. Also, in mid view of someone’s profile, it’ll say “update face card”. Consider this my email in regards to the issue 🤗.

DONT WASTE YA TIME!!!!

2024-08-12

I usual don’t write reviews but I’m only writing this one cuz I literally requested a refund the same day I got BlackGentry ..ima keep it short and sweet BlackGentry is a finesse I hop on BlackGentry for a week mutually match with one person but had 17 hidden like …coo you would think that they give u the opportunity to swipe on the people that like you they don’t at all so boom I was look at some of the reviews and BlackGentry states they are “built for serious members “ bet so I paid the 44$ the best one they got to my surprise every one that match me was not only a fake user but from 400+miles away😂🤣 so as kept it for three days cuz I’m supposed to be at the top profile no likes no matches hmmm strange I was getting more action when I ain’t have it so I got a refund through apple …guess what the best part is ?!!! Soon as the remove my subscription 5 like of the bat please stay away hinge is probably the only legit app left on the market 💯🫡

What a scam. Waited over a year for access only for my profile to be rejected

2024-03-12

I saw many advertisements for BlackGentry, and had really hopes. As a black woman, it is incredibly hard to find high achieving black men of my caliber on most dating apps. I knew BlackGentry would be selective, and waiting to get access to create a profile didn’t phase me. I finally received notification that I had was taken off the waiting list a year and a half later. Then, after submitting my pictures, profile and the verification selfie, my app was rejected. I received a notifications saying I had one more chance to “correct” my profile or I’ll be banned. As an Ivy educated lawyer with much anticipation for a dating app that was advertised to be for women like me, I’m severely disappointed. So much for supporting a black dating app allegedly for black women.

Disappointed

2024-09-24

I joined BlackGentry because of how it was advertised to meet black single men. Men who were professional and ambitious etc. It was the complete opposite. I mean polar opposite. The men on BlackGentry lie about their ages and then don't fill out their profiles. At the very least the algorithm should block them from showing yaa option until they fill out the profile section correctly. That would make it more professional. Asking for state IDs would eliminate the lying about your age. THEN. BlackGentry had the nerve to ask me for 20$ so I can see who liked me, how bogus is that? Whatever, I invest my 20$. For what, I don't know! BlackGentry won't even show your profile, even when you have paid to be on BlackGentry with their lack of background checks. BlackGentry claims it's for serious connections. That is not true.

Feedback

2024-10-09

I made sure to take my time and give BlackGentry a chance before leaving a review. It has been almost two months since I create my account and I have to say I’m very disappointed. I’ve paid for a two subscriptions and have had no luck. I specifically put my preferences on my account yet BlackGentry continues to allow 20 years, 40+ men send request. Sometime tell even give person access to send me a direct message even though I didn’t heart their account. BlackGentry has so far shown men who appear not to care about their appearance which is beyond disappointing. I will close my account after the end of my subscription. Hopefully everyone else has better luck on BlackGentry because I’ve had 200+ requests and I’ve only picked three personally that I thought I like which it unfortunately did not work out.

This is just like BLK, but with lies.

2024-11-27

I’m a young professional woman looking for a upscale man or at least professional like me. Baby, every single man is from south side of Chicago (big red flag for me) and they don’t even have high profile careers 😭 Just regular jobs and regular personalities. UPDATE: I don’t knock anymore that doesn’t work in corporate world but there’s a huge problem when you have “property investor” or “real estate broker” and you work in a warehouse or no where at all. All I’m saying is you need to ask for proof of the occupation before they can lie. If you guys root for men that lie to get the kind of woman they want, just say that then. Y’all got too many men on here that don’t have jobs, no license and no cars. How can you make a high profile dating app and not certify if they are actually a high profile person?😭😭

This app is trash!!! Hilarious

2023-12-16

The nerve of these developers to claim that the participants on BlackGentry are screened as “ambitious,” “intentional,” or any of the other words used to get us to sign on. This is just another BLK. 99.9% of the men are not professional, their photos alone are laughable and if the developers were being true to their claims, they wouldn’t have made it past that phase. I guess I will have to develop my own dating app for professional, mature and truly intentional Black people over the age of 35.

I knew not to subscribe to a paid version. I would have been highly upset if I had. Do better. Save your lame response.

Something is off

2024-01-16

My friends and I tried it and haven't received any likes from any matches. Not expecting tons of matches or likes but only receiving one or two within a certain time-frame is unusual for any person. So we tested it on one another (liking someone that "liked" you) and it did not work. Please fix. Paid for deluxe and I am not enjoying BlackGentry at all + they have a "no refund" policy knowing the bugs. Noticed that some of the reviews are fake as well. Will not be supporting this company again.

Unattractive hood dudes

2024-02-17

If you are looking for professional men stick with Hinge. The men on BlackGentry are bottom of the barrel hood dudes. I’m talking face tats, gold teeth, pink eye, cross eyed, unkempt beards, and jeans sagging off their butts with timbs. The type that look like their breath stank. Not one attractive man on BlackGentry. Reminds me of the Blk or pof apps where the men look like convicts. I deleted within 24 hours. To the creators do better. Not sure how these men made it on BlackGentry when you need to send a pic to join. Seriously though, not one fine man! Fire your PR/marketing team and start over. Throw the whole app away.

Not worth it

2024-03-20

BlackGentry is no different than any other dating app, just a Money Grab for the owner. Swiping left or right and the only ability to see your likes, or message anyone is if you pay, which I did. This was a waste. The only reason I gave one star is because that was the lowest denomination. The selection is laughable, I only paid because I saw 7 likes and after paying, all 7 were disappointments. To be honest I barely made it a week and a half, after that i decided to erase BlackGentry and leave a review for anyone wondering how effective it may be.

Disappointing

2024-04-19

BlackGentry keeps glitching and showing me men ive already swiped on. It also hasn’t been loading properly, and will shut down randomly. And they won’t let you swipe unless you’ve filled out your profile 75% BUT they still show your unfinished profile????? And a majority of men on BlackGentry haven’t even filled out their profile… It also shows people outside your preferred age range and location which is very frustrating so whats the point of setting the range when its not respected. 😞

I really wanted to love it

2024-05-21

I really wanted to love BlackGentry, but there are some MAJOR glitches that need to be addressed. I tried using the free features first and got no matches for the first couple of days. So I decided to pay for a month, one, in support of this black dating platform, and two, to see if I would get a different result. However, as soon as I paid for the first month, BlackGentry started to randomly crash and wouldn’t even bring up my profile photos. I tried deleting BlackGentry and reinstalling it, only to find out that there’s not even a way to log back in to my same profile. I was prompted to start a whole new one. Needless to say I am not happy at all and I feel like I wasted my money. App developers, please fix this issue and work out the bugs!

Yeah a Hard Nope

2024-06-24

So BlackGentry is not giving what is advertised. I put what age range, 35 to 45, and nothing but males in their 20s on my page. My DMs are just a bunch of crazy messages, and people who look like they have gout, and hypertension in their 20s. How sway? I even paid for the upgrade, and it feels like I upgraded to more nonsense. Can someone please tell me where is the University of “hard knocks” or “getting this paper” Like, come on, really!!! I wanted to support them, but no one in BlackGentry wants to have a serious conversation or put quality into their page. Also, can we talk about how it takes forever to load and will just shut down on you? I think BlackGentry needs more fine-tuning and allowing people to filter what they are looking for. When reading the reviews, the developer is clapping back at people who are having the same issue we are all having instead of trying to fix the kinks in BlackGentry

Ehhh. I’ll update if I see changes

2025-11-04

This didn’t make me wanna focus too much in BlackGentry. The filtering system is terrible and doesn’t even filter what it offers.
I should be able to filter out height, smokers, children, and other things. It’s literally just location distance and age. Both of which are poor because as far as distance it only stops at 20 miles, nothing closer than that, and I still get women like 27 miles away so what’s the point of even picking 20 as the distance if it’s just gonna be ignored? As far as age I get women older than the age range I chose. I stoped mine at 38, why am I still getting women who are 43, again what’s the point of setting parameters that BlackGentry won’t even acknowledge.

That stuff should be changed asap for a more user friendly experience

Nice Concept, BUT

2025-10-18

You can only see the people you've matched with if they send you a message. I've received over 300 notifications of matches and can only see the few who have sent me a message first. I'm able to pay $30 to see everyone who liked me, but EVERY dating app I've ever been on has a page where you can view all of your matches. Not being able to do that kinda defeats the purpose of a dating app.

Also, I've tried multiple times in multiple different ways. I've seen the developer replying to comments saying that it's possible to see your matches but it literally isn't unless they message you or you pay for the subscription.

I'm sure once they fix this, this app will be used more often.

I really wanted to like it but.....

2024-09-24

BlackGentry has soo many bugs! I started off with a free account, just to test the waters and 🤬🤬🤬. I was interested in several guys profiles, however, the LIKE button wouldn’t work. I figured closing BlackGentry and reopening it would fix the problem, but it didn’t! And then once I went through the profiles, without being able to like any of my picks, I as promoted BlackGentry because I ran out of “likes”....huh?! Total waste of time. Has the potential to be great, but fix the bugs!!!!

Needs some improvements

2024-10-26

So overall, I think this app has the right idea. I like the fact that you’re required to complete at least 75% of your profile. Gives users a much better idea of who they might be interested in before making a choice.

Some cons are the lack of choices. I ran out after my 5th swipe or so. I had to expand the mileage to 50 miles in order the have plenty of choices and thats unfortunate because that’s not ideal for me. I think once BlackGentry is better known that part will get better? I don’t know. Hope so. Also, the limited swipes are just ridiculous. Definitely doesn’t make me want to pay. Makes me want to stop using BlackGentry .

It’s ok

2024-03-06

Alright so BlackGentry is FUBU which is great. But it does have it’s cons. As a basic user (no subscription) you can only like a profile or message someone but that’s pretty much it. You cant even go back on a profile you liked. And there is a limit on how many profiles you can like. As a subscriber, it doesnt get better honestly. You see who likes you and you have unlimited likes you can give out but again, you can go back on liked profile and there really isnt any way for you to know how much traffic your profile is getting. I’ve been on for 2 weeks, with a 90% completed profile with full body pictures and have received 1 like. I guess one could say its because no a lot of people are using BlackGentry but there are no “boost” option, no trending posts; nothing. I like in NY and my mileage preference is set at 150 and only 1 like in 2 weeks..? Yea ok.

Needs work

2024-12-28

I downloaded BlackGentry . Put time into making a profile. Met one super cool dude. Then when I got an alert to update BlackGentry , it basically cleared my profile and prompted me to recreate it to get back on. I didn’t feel motivated enough to go through that again, but BlackGentry still send me alerts when people like my profile which is weird. Although you have to sift through a bunch of profiles that don’t fit the description of what’s advertised, I did manage to meet someone, so there’s that.

Black Lighting strikes twice

2024-08-22

I joined BG in hopes to find a love connection like most others that join a dating app. Overall, I have found a variety of men that have detailed profiles to very vague ones. Most with great pictures and a few with pictures that were alarming. BG does ask for each person to pay a minimum fee to join and verify their page. However, once you make it past the initial state you’re able to change the profile at any time. It is apparent that there is not any monitoring moving forward past the initial state. If you are connected with an individual, you and that person are able to chat. The system has a glitch and does not allow conversation to flow. There is a time stamp on both sides of the conversation and it replies are often delayed even if your chatting in real time. BG may not be aware of this problem but does not have a way of report tech support or issues on BlackGentry . Feel free to contact for more details.

Black Men with Substance

2024-09-19

It is so nice to finally find an app that has professional Black men with substance. Men who are looking for commitment and know what they want. It is very hard to date when you are in your 30s+ but BlackGentry makes it possible to find a genuine connection with someone who is done playing the games and want longevity. The potential men that I’ve interacted with have been respectful and genuine in their intentions. I like the fact that people with class seem to be promoted on BlackGentry. It’s not about naked bodies plastered all over BlackGentry . There’s so much more than just the physical appearance. I’ve met some interesting individuals so far and a promising one at the moment. I’m thankful for BlackGentry.

Best app for Black singles!

2024-07-14

I think this is the best dating app for Black people. I have tried a few other apps and it’s hard to find a lot of Black singles so having an app with nothing but my preference is great. I’ve actually been a member now for about a year. The quality of people is decent also and better than other apps. I use the new VIP and Gentry lounge page a lot so I think this were great addition to BlackGentry because you get to see the recommended profiles. I think the screening process is ok. I’m taking one star away for a couple of bugs that I ran into but they were nothing major and customer service was very responsive. So far I am enjoying BlackGentry and have met a few great people in my area.

Concerns

2024-09-17

I’m just a little disappointed because I thought BlackGentry would be different than others. BG does not offer a trial period of any sort which is highly alarming. I would feel more comfortable subscribing to a $6-10 weekly subscription/trial; than to pay a $25 non-refundable fee for a monthly subscription to an app I could come to feel is not for me. Lastly, the amount of likes someone has before having to choose a subscription or wait the time displayed makes me feel as if BlackGentry is more so about money, than it is to genuinely help black singles establish healthier connections and relationships as stated in the BG missions section. Other than the issues listed above I think BG is a great app that has a lot to offer to black individuals and a great amount of dating and preference options.

Cool app

2026-09-17

Its a cool app. It just needs to be upgraded . You miss messages and they don't pop up . You have to do a lot just to see the messages.

Its a lot going on, on BlackGentry . So you can look at people through likes, you have direct messages. Or you can do the swipe thing. It gives you way more options than other apps. Make sure you take time to explore BlackGentry and all it has to offer.

I lowkey want them to make one for people looking for mommy friends 😫 I like the way the layout of their app is. I haven’t found the type of man I like so far but with BlackGentry Im hopeful. I did meet a lot of nice people on here though!

Won me over

2026-07-15

Great experience so far on BlackGentry . I mean it’s a dating ain’t so it won’t be perfect but overall this app is the best black dating app right now. there are different people on here. It’s not filled with fake models or people ghosting. Like the women actually respond and communicate first on this app! I’m a serious dater so seeing completed profiles is important to me. The team actually listens to suggestions. I sent a request about increasing search distance and they made the change. Now that’s a company that cares! Let’s keep the black love going!

The app is absolutely great and needed

2024-10-14

First of all, I will start by saying that I am a Black women who has used a lot of dating apps such as tinder, hinge, bumble etc and my experience has been terrible on those apps. I received disrespectful messages from men who were only looking for a hook up.

Finding this app changed my feelings on dating apps and it is currently the only dating app I use. I saw an ad on IG and I follow their page and I have been in touch with customer service as I initially needed help and they were helpful and truly are passionate about creating an app for us and by us. Since joining I have seen a lot of improvements in the quality of men on BlackGentry as well as the stability of BlackGentry . I have also met decent men on BlackGentry over the past year. One of which I dated for a while. It ended so I came back and I am supriswd at all the new features. I absolutely love the restaurants feature and I see there is now a lot of members. I literally got 50 likes my first day on BlackGentry from DECENT black men.

Great Job this app. We truly need to support apps and company’s that make products for us by us and this company is an example of one doing things right and for the right reason.

App is GREAT overall!!

I found BlackGentry after seeing an ad on IG and thought to give it a try and so far it has been really cool. One thing that sets it apart is the selfie verification. It really made me feel secure to know that the people on BlackGentry are real. I have ran into many fake profiles on other dating apps and got tired of wasting swipes on fake people. The other thing I like about it is that it is very detailed and professional. The deluxe membership really gives you a lot of options because I don’t want to swipe all day so it’s great to just search for people and I like changing my location when i travel so I can meet people. BlackGentry crashes sometimes but I see that they update it often and fix stuff. So far, it’s a great app and I am meeting decent men and having good conversations. Definitely check it out.

Updating My Review

2025-10-06

BlackGentry has made a lot of great improvements. I have been a member for a year now and met someone initially but we broke up. I came back after seeing the IG ad, and wow BlackGentry has way more people now. They have cleaned up the profiles a lot. I like the Black business feature because I am always traveling, and it has been useful to find black owned restaurants in different cities to go on dates. I get good matches on here too compared to other apps. I think BlackGentry continues to show promise. I usually do not like dating apps, but this app is currently my favorite dating app.

No start actually

App a whole scam . No professional or worth it prospects at all and with not even an hour of my profile being approved. BlackGentry would either NOT open or repeatedly close! Waste of time, definitely won’t my lil money back !🤷🏾‍♀️

Great App. I like it.

2025-12-08

So far I am having a great experience with BlackGentry . I like that all profiles are reviewed and for the most part a lot of the profiles look clean. I have had to report a couple of people but mostly everyone looks good and complete their profiles. I get a lot of messages which is cool and I have met one person so far. I’m not a big Online dater but this has been a positive experience for me.

The best app for black professionals like myself and colleagues

My favorite app right now. The people on BlackGentry are a lot more put together than other apps. It’s great to see a black dating app that’s designed for quality singles and people who have themselves together. I like that they require a selfie because so you know people are real.

Changed my dating life for the better!!

I live in Texas and it’s been pretty hard to be a professional engineer and find other black professionals to date. I really struggled with the work life balance but once I downloaded BlackGentry. BlackGentry completely changed my perspective on how easy it can be to find someone to date.

The app is slow with notifications and I have been catfished twice, I expected more due to the process to get on the app. I have met some real people but I have high expectations for an app I pay for. I will do my 3 months and then it was nice✌️

Trash. Profiles are fake. One man threatened me after 30 minutes and the rest of them called me “dear”. I dont know any black males in my age range that use the word “dear”. They are scammers or profiles says”never smoked” and the next pic they’re smoking a cigar. Probably one of the worst ever. Don’t waste your time. Matches are far and few and no disrespect but the 40 -50 age range look more like 50-60 smh

Black gentry is nothing less than a SCAM dating site made up of fubu , a company exploiting the culture to attempt to gain funds fraudulently from black folks searching to meet new people, Yes all it took was 1 month for me to realize the woman on there were full of Fake book fake bot profiles that were more than likely used from facebook and written fake profiles of, its a shame what some of these even black sites (ill call it a site an not dating site)will do to earn a dollar which especially is hard earned from ppl in this world..Do urself a favor dont join this frivolous fake site where even if you post a question to customer service you can feel the ghetto overtone on the responses from the customer service that work for them even as bots im sure..

No thanks. I have received over 75 likes in one week but only two messages. You can’t see who liked you as a free member because the images are blurred out. I’m not going to pay a membership fee. Disappointed because u wanted to support a black owned company.
