Upward: Christian Dating App Reviews

Scam. Be aware the profile you are liking may be completely fake. I'm not Christian and I never signed up for an account. But in the last 3 weeks I have received emails about "my account" confirming the account being created and then changes being made to certain criteria in a profile they set up with my name and email address. I tried to contact customer service to have the account removed but the customer service address in their emails is undeliverable (Host unknown / Host not found). No wonder they prominently advertise "Upward does not conduct criminal background checks on it's members. Please take proper safety precautions." They are the ones who may be conducting criminal activity by creating profiles based on information publicly available and then adding whatever information they think will interest their members.

I signed up and paid $14.99 for monthly access and I did not get any access. I feel they just stole my money!!!

I want my money back after 3 days. Distance filter set at 20 miles away max. All is see are profiles 2500-4000 miles away.

CANCEL ME PLEASE NOW THIS SITE IS A TOTAL SCAM!!!! YOU SHOULD BE SHAMED BUT GREED HAS NO SHAME!!! I PRAY GOD REVELAS ALL YOU DO AND HOW YOU REALLY ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE CUSTOMER BUT ABOUT YOUR POCKET. PLEASE CANCEL ME NOW!!! I PAYED FOR ONE MONTH, NO MORE CHARGES SHOULD BE TAKEN FROM MY ACCOUNT CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION THANK YOU

This Upward app is a complete nightmare and is abuse against good Godly women looking for something real. Many of my first matches it went nowhere. There was rudeness, ghosting and strange men who are into cryptocurrency. One guy even tried to sell it to me that I should get into that. Was so disgusted by that because that is not how a relationship should start based on financial stuff. The next guy we talked only for a bit thought there was good chemistry he had a too perfect profile picture now when I think of it and asked me to go on Google chat with him so I did. When I asked him to send me a video of himself he disappeared and never texted me again. Big red flag. If he was genuine ladies he would be willing to send you a video of him. He was wanting sexy pics of me right from the beginning and this is supposedly a “Christian guy.” Another guy didn’t even know his age and came on very aggressive and combative with me from the start. I complained to Upward support people who said they would look into his account. Honestly not good enough. Then this last guy his a complete joke and six major long texts messages at a time but would not give me hardly any time to respond and refused to do any video call. Said that any channel of communication was good. Not if it is long distance video call is essential but not to him. I smell a fraudster and scammer. The guy was totally not normal. His English or writing was so broken up for someone who is supposedly well put together. He wanted me to come see him without ever having video called. Didn’t ask for money but definitely playing around. Girls do not go on Upward and it is time for me delete my account on there.

This app is a scammer’s playground. The first time I used the app I connected with a man named Jeffrey. He was an engineer working in Turkey. He wanted to chat offline so we moved to Google Hangout. We seem to make a really good connection but when I ask the same questions at different times the answers are always different. He told me his bank account was closed so he couldn’t access it and he didn’t have enough money to leave to come home. He asked me to loan him $15000.00 dollars. I am an older woman but not an old fool! I tried again and connected with someone else. We chatted for several weeks then he told me he was being deployed to Yemen. I recently found out that the name and pictures he was using belonged to someone else. I’m so angry that people just take advantage of each other in such a callous manner. UPWARD is a scammer’s playground. Don’t use this site!!!!

For your first 15-20 swipes you get people within a logical area. After that, good luck finding someone who’s even in the same state. Why are you showing me people who live in Kentucky when I live in South Carolina? Oh right.. because it’s not really about helping people find a God-centered relationship. It’s about money. They push you towards buying their subscription because you will NEVER come across the people who ‘liked’ you without one. Also, $30 for a month? That is outrageously expensive. Completely deters you from even considering paying for it.

I’ll make this as simple as positive: - full of fake profiles, bots, catfishes, and scammers looking to prey on innocent Christian women. - non Christian men looking to masquerade as Christian. And a horde of ex cons - people 150+ miles away - a casual option for “what you’re looking for”, which totally goes against Christianity - Uy Christian date and chat is legit, what upward should be. It takes precautionary measures to vet people. It just needs more users

Upward is not a great site. I once again tried this app , full of let downs from previous apps.. i got lots of likes quickly after signup and being new.. (red flag)to going cold for most of the remaining of my month subscribed.. women that seem interested and promising just to disappear quickly as they came.. i smell a scam and bot ran site .

I spent about a week on this site. I received quite a few responses but noticed several common themes- Seems majority of the men are civil engineers, are "God Fearing", speak w poor grammar, and I caught several profiles w the exact same phrases, "My wife cheated on me, I know Shit happens, but...". I also found pics of same person under different names, ages. I had a few men tell me that they weren't the age their profile said. I found several profiles w odd first names, and the same ones at that. I also was asked the same questions. "what are you looking for, how is this site treating you?". I finally did my own research and asked for the man's personal contact number. Interestingly enough, the reverse phone number search revealed a nonexistent number, or the number was listed as another person. So, I HIGHLY suspect most of these profiles are fake, made by scammers, which is very very dangerous, esp to us women. I had several men ask me to speak to them on telegraph, skype, google chat. Also suspect, is the professional pictures posted, the perfect looking couples in the "success stories"and the amazingly attractive men that say they can't find love... that's a joke. Summary- I cancelled my membership ASAP and sent in several reports of fake profiles. Single women- I wouldn't bother w this one.... which is too bad, considering we are being taken advantage of, as Christian women. Be safe out there!!!

Had 99 likes the first day. Then, the scamming starts. Had 3 guys ask me to chat off of the app. One asked me for money, the others had profiles under different names, religious denominations and even ages. Then I downgraded my “membership” and could no longer see new people who liked me?? What a scam and waste of money.

Horrible app. I’ve only had scammers reply. They tell me how beautiful I am, asking about my day, where I live, what 3 words best describe me etc. They avoid answering any question I might ask. This a conversation I just had with a gentleman. They’ve all pretty much gone the same way. This guy was wearing a UW Huskies hat in a photo. I asked- Is that a Huskies hat? Reply: Hello there How are you doing? Me: I’m doing well thank you but you didn’t answer my question. Reply: You don’t start a communication with question that’s why I didn’t answer. He doesn’t say “with a question”, he says “with question” So many of these guys have grammar slip ups that give them away. I report every profile that does this. I’m on Bumble and haven’t had this problem. The scammers have found a way in to scam on upward and nothing is being done to stop it.

Please listen to the countless other people and avoid this site. They are not interested in matching Christians it’s a complete scam. Almost all of the profiles are fake. There are lots of profiles of Good looking American men who chat in completely broken English . When I ask them to video chat Every sing one of them Ghost me. Upward could clearly takle this issue by having users verify their identity like Bumble does. They want it to stay this way and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are creating some of the bots to make it seem like they have a lot of users. Please don’t waste your money or time on this site

I thought I was enjoying the app at first. Unfortunately, they only allow you to signin via phone number. My phone number changed and their support contact is the worst...they never get back to you. I created a new profile with my new number since my old one wouldn't even be able to receive a verification code. My account was disabled in three days. I'm not sure if it was the change to a new profile, having gone on a trip and my location changed, or a salty man that just couldn't handle me not selecting him (in a very polite way)...but I found some matches I really liked. Now I can't access them and nobody will get back to me to resolve the issue. I'd absolutely not pay for a subscription as there is no number to call and they don't respond to their emails at all. Heartbreaking and horrible service. I'm thoroughly disappointed. I'd change my review in a heartbeat if they would just respond and resolve the issue for me.

I been scammed by someone who called himself Jeffrey (Bed). Who posing himself as a captain of the yacht. The app needs customer verification

Everyone I see is well over 300 miles away. I live in a popular suburb about 30 miles outside a big city. I will not subscribe again.

Don't use this app! There are so many fake men on this it is unbelievable. It was nice at first seeing how many "likes" I received. The first thing I noticed was that the majority of the men are Catholic which seemed a little odd but not a problem. I set up my profile to be picks close to me but 85% listed their distance from me 1000 miles away. Once I decided to be brace after messaging in the app, I exchanged phone numbers with 3 and my email with 2. ONLY ONE (so far) may be legitimate. Evidently there is no one behind the scenes to check on who is joining. An absolute waste of money and I will tell everyone I know! Beyond being disappointed in this CHRISTIAN Dating App, I am even more disappointed in the human race. Don't use this app either free or with the fee! 8/5/2022

DO NOT USE THIS APPLICATION! The variouse men that seem genuin on the site, after a little conversation of a couple days, they all end up asking for money . They have different BS stories. This app. needs to get a user authenticater . I have tried to get my money back and they will not respond. This application is full of scammers.

Upward dating app review: I am a ‘mature‘ Woman using this app and I am finding people misrepresent their location and themselves – most likely to secure connection with someone whom they can exploit or scam. You’re able to tell distance through GPS locations. Most of my contacts or connections resulted in misrepresentation of location and they want to immediately receive a phone number and exchange pictures. This may be typical of many apps but scammers are using these apps too exploit adults looking for a relationship.

It's a scam! They don't show you anything different than any other website, and as soon as I paid, they disabled my account for no reason! No recourse, and no contact. They do not respond. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!

App ok, but are there any real guys on here, they all want you to switch to another site to talk. Funny how you all say you love God while trying to screw someone over. I would say be careful, God don’t like ugly and He will take up the battle.

This app is full of scammers. 90% of the men I chatted with were about to deploy and will then ask for money, have some high security job that’s remote and can’t FaceTime, ask you to invest in cryptocurrency. Thankfully I read reviews and articles about these scams and did not fall for them. These men will tell you both their parents died, they will fall in love with you within a couple of weeks without even meeting you, then ask for money because they don’t have access to their accounts. Do your research, ask questions and verify their answers. Don’t be a victim!!

Absolute SCAM site. Wayyyyy too easy for people to use this site to hide behind religion for bad intentions...money, sexting etc. Only used for 2 days and had 3 horrible experiences. Stay away if you are serious about making a connection or be very very cautious ⚠️

Beware!!! This app is a scam. Been here for a whole month, and I'm shutting down my account. I'm a decent guy with a lot to offer, but every right swipe I made is ghosted. In the meantime, I have gotten a lot of likes but each and every one of them is either a scam, trying to sell you something, attempting to steal your identify, or some immoral, spineless, and worthless scum masquerading as somebody they are not. Profiles and pictures were stolen from other identities and using it to pretend as the people they stole. This Upward app needs to be shut down and reported to the authorities for scamming the public. I wouldn't be surprised if they are conspirators to the design of how crooks operate on their platform.

I would recommend starting on the least expensive subscription rate as they don't do refund regardless of how disappointed or dissatisfied you are. Few things I've noticed: the app only tells you the location of the person in miles so you'll end up asking where they are from, there are many questionable accounts, face doesn't fit age, same names with different pictures and account reappears even when you unmatched with them already. I'm not sure they verify accounts. Oh, it also doesn't filter according to your preferences. Sadly, It needs a lot of improvement.

Scam,scam ,scam no filter for distance. Guys in here don’t want to stay on the app for a longer conversation, they want to have your phone number right away. Most of them are in the military . Both parents dead, no siblings. Widowed, single parents with kids , got cheated and they traumatized by their wife , They are by themselves. They want to know first question your job title if you have a big house or apt. I guess scammers want to figure it out if you wealthy or how much do you make . Also there is a guy who is really handsome with 3 different profiles. By mistake he reply twice and by mistake I warned him up . One of his profiles names is Michael Donald he said he is a flight attendant but from his story he said he’s a ….. well I’m pasted what he wrote me. I Work as a secret agent for the DEA (drug enforcement administration) working as a flight attendant isn't my main job It was just to use that to cover up only my two boss knows about this . Working as a secret agent has stopped me from a lot of things it's a very deep job and I'm been tracked by my bosses they know about anything I do they have a tracker I have with me .I'm not to show my identity to anyone that have not registered to them by me and to do that cost a lot Don't worry I will handle the relationship. Lol so he can’t show his identity. I believe they don’t want to see this type of stories being on the app because they might feel it can be supervised or tracked. Ladies Be Be careful with this app don’t fall for it fake profiles .

Upward is definitely a scam based out of Nigeria. Everybody is in the US army. Had one guy telling me he’s fighting war in Ukraine. Another one I spoke to was a Caucasian from New Jersey, but once I spoke to him over phone, he sounded like an African. Everybody claim that their wife died a year ago, and they’re ready for a new relationship. SMH!! Finally, as the stories remained the same I had to ask…”You’re in the US army too? … and your wife died as well?” This app is nonsense. Waste of time. That’s why you don’t get a response. It’s a scam. I’ll see if this even gets posted.

This app is fake. I believe it’s a Nigerian made site. Everybody is in the US army. They’re off in some country are returning to the US soon.

This app really needs a better versification system and a distance filter. Over 80% of the people that “like” me have fake photos and profiles. Be careful not to give your real number.

Nice app but need to somehow weed out scammer. I got matched up with two of the same type of scammers. I feel sorry if they run into a real vulnerable woman looking for true love

The one thing I noticed about this app is there are minors on here… gentleman be careful who you match with because there are 17 year old girls that are trying to get older men in trouble… that’s how parents get involved and the police. Be careful yeah they say this app is Christian like but when you find out a girl is lying about there age on here it can get pretty dangerous..

I’ve been off and on lots of dating sites. I have not seen one man holding a fish or on a motorcycle here. There is something up with this app.I have matched several men with different accounts and names.profiles are pretty similar to keep their story straight. The distance indicator is not even worth answering I got one at 4200 miles away. The men are 90% above average in looks this is not real. No other site do you get over 100 likes in one day. So beware of your personal information on here, identity theft or scamming is a predatory advance. Don’t become a victim!!

Its needs a verification process I had talk to 2 different people that pretended to be someone else. I definitely would not use upward ever again!

I keep getting fake profile, since I started using the app, this people just want to text and when you want to move on for a phone call they be gone, random phone numbers that it’s for a business, I am leaving this fake web

I am a fit muscular man that has a heart of gold ( I have been considered handsome by a few). However, I can't believe some of the games that some play on this app. I was told women ,(this goes for us guys also). I guess, I will just keep trying!

I am starting to wonder who really owns this app. Is the owner a Nigerian scammer? 90% of the profiles are fakes! They are nothing but Nigerian scammers trying to lure women in. I wish everyone will turn these people in online. They are truly wasting people's time. A big scam!

I tried this app and within a week I'd met at least 7 "Civil Engineers." with foreign accents. There are so many bogus profiles on here! They steal pictures of Caucasians, African Americans, and Hispanic Americans and post fake profiles. They are all engineers who supervise a group of men or are Long Shoremen or something like that. And, most of them are Catholic. This is fine, but it lets me know that these are mostly foreigners faking profiles. I know many Nigerians think many Americans are Catholics so that's what they claim. They might be doing this mostly to older women because they think we are desperate and vulnerable. One of the first questions I ask anyone I start conversing with is, "Do you have a foreign accent?" If they look like a duck, quack like a duck, and smell like a duck, IT'S A DUCK!

Never have I wasted so much time talking to fake people!!! 2 different guys for 2 months, both video chatted and called on the phone and after 2 months they both wanted money. They both used excuse they were in Germany for telecommunications work. Both said they were chested on and had full custody of daughters, many similarities, both said they wanted to marry me. I knew once I was asked for money it was over Johnny!!! And sure enough first one Bernard asked me to pad his bitoin. And 2nd one Luke said his daughter was dying and asked for 3,000. I've wasted the whole time I've been on here talking to these evil bozos! 😈 I should could a total refund! Bernard used whatsapp and Luke used Hangout. Beware never send money!!!

Dangerous scamming site…!!

I've been talking to a lady on upward name Laura Chem. Is Laura clem her real name. She claim she can't talk to me on the phone because she doesn't have a phone & she wants me to buy her a phone. Am I really talking to Laura Catherine Clem? If she is who she say she is, I will buy that phone.

I have dealt with over 10 scammers on this dating site! They are all over. Dangerous site for women! You are not protecting any one on this site!!!!!

The scammiest app ever. Worse than secular. I think Christian’s are being targeted because scammers think they’re more likely to get money from us. It’s seems most of the guys are fake. Especially the really good looking ones. I never gave any money, but I got whacked with a military love scam by a “marine”. Talking twice a day for a week. Then he was avoidant about phone calls or video. Huge red flag! The person actually called me from Africa confessing that this is what they do to support their families. I really started to like said marine. I reported it to the department of defense. I emailed this app twice With no response. Now I’m suspicious of everyone. Where are the jersey boys? Does everyone live in Brooklyn or do the Nigerians think that’s a hip place to live? apparently they don’t keep up on the news and subway bombings and shootings lately. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Why does the distance filter not working. There are hundreds that have liked me, but they are hundreds and even thousands of miles away. What is the point??

Everytime I think I meet someone we will talk for awhile then the next day the guy will act like he doesn't remember our conversation and ask the same exact question. I also was talking to a guy I thought I liked untill he sent me another like same pictures but different name, age and location so I thought I'd go with it and I'm 100 percent sure it's two completely different people the. I found a third account. Same guy different name, age and location. As I started talking to other guys I noticed they all ask the same questions in the same order I don't feel like I believe anyone if real at this point... This sucks

Can’t see locations of woman and anyone I like or that send me like are 300+ miles away. I’m in search of a realistic relationship that doesn’t require me to travel by plan just to see my date. Terrible app and definitely has scammers as well trying to contact me off app

This app is a total scam. I cannot believe I paid money for it. Every profile is totally fake! Do not use this app!!!!!

Upward is a total scam. It may have done well for some but I have hammed me to weed through so many scammers just to have an actual conversation…that it made me so skeptical to even try with anyone else… look out for these Jordanmarkus John 49 LucasScottRo Austinmiller MatthewBurke And so many others… fall in love within minutes… want info of possessions, how much money you make… etc… beware the enemy is on the loose. Yes all these have accents and sound exactly the same - have different variants of the same story … widower, kids, cheated on by best friend… Ladies be wise like serpents and gentle as doves… this site is too unsafe to get involved in… thank God I’m too cheap to pay for something…. I feel bad for those who have paid for this site… God will provide the man He wants us to have… and it looks like upward isn’t a path He wants us on.

I have use this app and is really bad every person I spoke to try to get me to send them none or transfer money fron their " account to another to pay for all this " material they use for a big contract work they have but they have no way of doing it, they say they " love " you with children to me is stupid with out even seen me one told me he wanted me so buy a gift card for 300 for his grand son birthday because since he work as an ingenieer he did not have time they told me if I need anything to ask and they ask me to down load application and is so that once you do it you can make transaction that they can't do because work and lack of internet , one ask me to barrow money so that they can send it to you later but is to see how much can you borrow then he ask me to borrow 2,000 to send to him for a" job " and when they get pay they will send that and what you borrow for you. Please be careful is a scam. Don't use this app don't use it and delete and block them block all .

Upward is the biggest scam ever. I have caught at least 5 catfish. DO NOT USE THIS APP.

I found out that many profiles are fake. How? Well…. I saw pictures of men looking like models that I remembered seeing it others dating sites so I asked them how much do you get paid for acting in this chat and suddenly their profile vanished and never saw it again. And so on … most of them were “widower”. When I was suspicious about a guy who was very handsome and asked him many questions and removed his mask and he deleted the profile. Using the name of God to trick people ? The law of cause and effect is real and this app will see the results of theirs actions. God is not a game.

I've been successful on here with several matches whom made initial contact. Also, there were 100's of likes. However, although I went forward in a reply message to a few men, they're true intentions turned out to be opposite of their profile. Most aren't really Christian males at all but rather social catfish. These guys pretended to have interest in pursuing a relationship or dating scenario. Instead, I had one to send a penis picture after his request to chat via WhatsApp. Others insisted on an invite to the same instant messenger or an additional type. Their excuse was inability to communicate on Upward. More asked to exchange phone ☎️📱 numbers and email 📨 addresses in a week. A couple of them asked to borrow money 💰 💵. While the rest ghosted after greetings, a single conversation or being told not comfortable in exchanging contact information so soon. I believe there are actual potential mates to meet but you need to sift through many fakes and much dishonesty before this happens.

Just as I was trying to fill out my profile, I was suddenly locked oylut if my account. It was disabled for some reason. Then I read the other reviews on here. This app needs to be shut down. Stop using the term "Christian" for your ineptitude and scams.

Like everyone has said this site is full of scammers!!! Beware! Only 20-30% are legitimate. It looks like there's a handfull of Nigerians who post hundreds of fake profiles and scamming is their full time job. It's disgusting and I don't know why this isn't being stopped! I catch them very quickly and tell them to get a real job.

I had to keep paying money to see potential matches.When I did pay it didn't work and the site wanted money again. I got off this site fast and never looked back. Talking with my bank to get charges reversed as I was not able to see pictures of anyone after paying twicw.This site is fraudulent and I'm disgusted.

This is a disgrace. Your app is fake and you should be ashamed for posting such crap. Making sure I send a review to every possible social media platform to inform anyone thinking this is legit.

Please RUN FAR AWAY, DELETE this app ASAP..... I got scammed by a person named ROBINSON SMITH claiming to be a sergeant in the US Army!!! TOTAL AND COMPLETE SCAM!!! He gained access to my personal information and tried to scam me out of money... Almost got scammed 2 more times. THIS APP IS FULL OF SCAMMERS!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY PAYING FOR A SUBSCRIPTION ON THIS APP!!!!

My only real issue with the app is that it wants to match me with singles who are 300 miles away. I set my distance preference to 40 miles because I want locals. Maybe there aren’t any locals on the site, but I’m doubtful of that. Why would we want to match with people several states away? Really haven’t been impressed with the service so far. Unless they fix the distance thing then I wouldn’t recommend it. Just save your money for a different and better dating app.

Total waste of my time!!! All were scammers who are not real. Do not pay for this!!! They should be sued by better business!!! The company must know and do nothing about all of the scammers!!

I wish I had found this site of reviews before I paid for a subscription. Like everyone here has said. Site filled with fake profiles. I emailed Upward after a week or so on the site. Never heard anything back. I report all the fake profiles but it probably does nothing. Don't waste your time or energy with Upward.

Only talked to 3 people and met two “female” scammers with fake age, fake profile, and fake faith statements. Both from different places but same story line (boyfriend cheated on her, babysiter, and looking after cousins). They both will send you pictures without clothes on the next day. 1 asked me for money, and then the other has a “dad” call me saying her daughter is 15 and she has been talking with you …..babaaaa. We are going to put a charge on you … bababa. Yup, this app needs to be burn to the ground.

This is a complete SCAM! Beware! It’s far from Christian. maybe 10-30% are real people. Most are Nigerian scammers. I’m afraid they may be using our pics on the other side because they have a host of them. I told one that I am a real Christian and God doesn’t like this. I blew up after he asked me for a “game” card and told him he needs to repent. I told him I wouldn’t send one cent but will pray and he said, “I don’t need your prayers” After pretending to be SEVERAL other people who I blocked after they would not do a video call, he actually got my REAL Number and called me in the WEE hours, showed me who he really was and apologized! He said he asked God for forgiveness but I believe there is a host of Nigerians doing this. If they ask you to go on What’s App, refuse to video call, give you a sad story about being a widow, their spouse being in a crash, pics with kids, pics with attractive people, copy things you said in your profile to make it seem like a match, ask you for anything - access to Netflix or anything at all, IT IS A SCAM! I’ve told these people my trust is not great with online bc I watch Catfish and already think they are fake. I even reported this to a police officer. Please know most of Upward are full of Nigerians using other people’s profiles who probably have no idea. Some people on here are real but most are not. Be careful. This app is probably internationally owned and even populates bots- they all ask the same exact questions. Beware if they say stuff like hello beautiful or fall in love too fast. I’m praying the Lord disrupts this site, shuts it down. It is fall of the devil’s imps who will face judgment one day for all the lies, deceit, and toying with people’s emotions. It is very sad for those who really are on here, paid, and seeking a Godly mate. Ask God for wisdom and discernment. He will give it to you! So sorry that this world has come to this.

Total scam! Matches are hundreds of miles away, age range is off too. Spoke to someone with thick scent, no way did he match with the photos. Poor English writing skills, want to go to Hangout right away, this is a waste of time and money, realized it was a scam within 24 hours, money gone now, but no more!

Please beware of scammers! There was 2 guys for me that used the same lines and story which got them caught, I fortunately caught them a couple of days in… one was a Puerto Rican guy named David Caraballo, the other was Chris Terry… I did my research and they are ALL OVER the Internet as notorious scammers.

The matches are hundreds of miles away, despite my preferences clearly set to max of 50 miles. No way to go back and review LOCAL profiles. I want my money back.

Please credit me my FULL payment and reporting to BBB

Upward is a complete scam! It is the least Christian dating app I have ever used. It's full of scammers and fake profiles. Stay away! The Devil is having fun with this one!

SCAM!!! Stay away!! MOSTLY FAKE Profiles!! Not a true Christian website because they are drifting by taking your money and tricking and manipulating you with a bombardment of FAKE profiles. Don’t be gullible and drawn in to this dating site!!!

I’m having the same issues as everyone else apparently. I can’t adjust the distance. The men that did message me back usually are about 1000 miles from me and in the military lol. This app is a joke and is filled with scammers. The men are always giving a sob story of how they lost family members from death.

Please has anyone heared of Freddy Norman?

I've gotten matches that are so far the ones that have texted my phone ARE FAKE!!!! How can a Christian site be filled with so many SCAMMERS! Please get rid of all these FAKE profiles set up to Rob people of MONEY, DIGNITY AND TIME!

This needs to be a class action lawsuit. They are making millions. Complete scam.

Put a distance filter on your app please. Tired of getting matches or likes from people hundreds or thousands of miles away! Stop wasting my time and my money/subscription.

Be aware of a FRANKLIN CRAVEY he is a scammer he would never FACETIME LIVE . he claimed he is from PITTSBURGH. He claimed he lived in a BUNGALOW. He said his wife died 4 years ago and fell down some stairs. He claimed he worked OVERSEAS AS A WELL DIGGER. He claimed he has a 6 year old and 5 year old. He said he wanted to TEXT only because his English wasn’t that great. SHUT THIS DATING SITE DOWN ASAP

everybody on here is “military” and “on deployment” abroad. Syria. Iraq. Afghan. Middle East. West Africa. Everybody is at least 300 miles away. I called someone out because he said he was born in Indiana but when he texted, it was in broken English. Really disappointed in this supposed Christian app

💯 percent scammers. People are targeting young Christians because they figure we have a soft heart and naive. I've called out one tooooo many on the crap. The funny thing is it's the same excuse "military based" and they have audacity to switch up the distance. I even saw two different contacts with exact same pics! I have so many experiences to share. I've let them know. I will not be the one. Wrong tree to climb. REPORT them As I do. We r in a day and age where it's very easy to video chat. One showed his height is 4 feet...now that's already to short for me..I asked him to confirm his height he only confirmed his age.. his pic look nothing like his reported height yet he is standing handsome and tall lol in a military outfit. Google ladies u have to at least be 5 foot to be in military. *Rolls eyes o have so many stories.

Thanking God I only wasted the money of a one month subscription. Horrible, only scammers and liars. No one near by and if they are it’s fake. Don’t waste your hard earned money. Good luck to all who is actually searching. I pray you find your perfect mate. Unfortunately it won’t be on upward.

Upward dating site, dating app. 1. This app is not good to any singles. 2. The owner of this dating site will make sure yours matches, which are not your matches at all are 3000 miles and the nearest will be 300miles away from you. All the people above are from different states and are having the same problem, so how comes no one gets a near match that is not in another state ,for sure 300 miles means get into a flight and go see whoever. 4. Pay to boost, after boosting you are matched with some one 3000 to 6000 miles and you are asked to pay more to see your likes ,because you can't talk to any one unless they send a match to you, how do they know it's your match? While the person says opposite of what you documented. Then asked to pay see this and that, to speak with a scammer who is from New York ?? but is in Syria in military mission and need your money??? 5. It's all a game worth not paying a single cent. At the end of the day swipe swipe swipe 😂 till your fingers are numb for nothing that is not there.fake photos. Upward does not need to improve anything, the good answer is what I paid was not worth paying, and I hope no one goes to pay anything at upwards to see 6000 miles as your matches.

This app has been a horrible experience. First, i never have any matches. And the ONE time i do, and actually get a conversation going, i feel as if i met a scammer. We have been talking for 3 weeks now. And she is relentless at getting me to buy her a 100 stream card. Shes 29 years old, told me she is born in raised in Germany, both her parents died when she was 12, and she is now living in nyc with her Aunt. She then goes on to ask me to open a Citi Bank account so that her cousin in the military could send her and her aunt money. Out of stupidity, i sent her 100 via cashapp . And it wasnt good enough. All of our conversations end up on the SAME topic... which is her trying to convince me to open up some kind of money sending app... or a online banking app. This is CRAZY. i am so disappointed.

This is worst dating sight in America. If you can call it a dating sight?

Greetings outward Christians need to cancel my membership immediately was not able to start your program was too difficult did not understand and you got our money and we only signed on like one hour ago and we need you to refund and cancel our membership thank you.

This app is full of scammers. I was scammed three times. I met this guy on the app that said he is french. He said is dad is american but it mom is from france. He said they both died when he was 12 and his grandma is the only one he has in his life. We decided to talk on the phone he sounded like a nigerian man. He said he left france to america when he was 12 and i said you should have lost your african accent by then if you moved to america at 12. I said lets do a face time, he said he has a bad camera. I never heard from him again. That is how i knew he was a scammer. I have emailed the company that they need to be aware that the app is full of scammers. Pls ladies dont waste your time on these app. Pray to jesus to provide a man because he will never fail you.

A Nigerian scam artist pretended to be a Soldier. Another scam artist tried to get me to meet with him! Please be careful everyone.

This is not a Christian site. It is filled with scammers. Don’t waste your time or money

Yes true I had an incident that someone is stealing a person's identity he even admitted it. Can't trust ppl on this website. Sad because I really had faith in it. Disappointed with the fraud!

Really disappointed app. I feel like the distance is outrageous as also the matches they give you are a joke. I matched one guy who was 300 miles away! These isn’t any good features and most of the time the men aren’t even Christian. This site is, well sucks hope since it’s new it gets better or gets lost. Sincerely pissed off ripped off customer.

Yes, I'm having the same issue. All men are far away. There was a guy whom I chatted with and then I gave him my number to call me. He never called. Just kept on texting back through the chat. Plus, he only texted in the mornings and not in the evenings. He also lived 900 miles away but his profile said that he can live "whenever his dream girl is". At first, I thought it was intriguing, but then it became weird by him not wanting to call me. He never asked for money or anything, but I was just kinda mad and reported him for a scam and the conversation disappeared. I kind of wanted to find him again and it seems like the app is showing me guys who live more than 2000 miles away from me. I don't know if I'm ever going to rematch with him. Another issue, there was another guy who immediately asked me to go to google hangouts and then he started saying that he is on a secret training program for CIA and he is looking for a wife, and he also said that he has a twin brother who is a spy in Somali for 5 years. It sounded stupid for me and I called him up on it. He then send me his Florida ID with his picture, his name and everything. But to me it is still a bunch of nonsense so I told him off. I just don't understand why the app does not allow you to search by the profiles name to see if you are able to find the profile and rematch. I am talking about the first guy. Unless he is a scam too by not wanting to call me.

Hello. Something is wrong with the algorithm. Most of the men are at least 100 miles away. I set my preferences for 30 miles. I understand showing possibilities 50 or maybe 60 miles away—but 100? 250? 3000??? Please advise. Thank you kindly.

2 out of 2 attempts and both are total scammers asking for gift cards and any excuse to get you to send it ASAP. One even asked me to pay for her monthly so she can keep her Netflix account. Garbage!

100% TOTAL SCAMMERS!!!

Upward is owned by Match Group. They support things against Christian beliefs like Homosexuality and Abortion. Their biggest push right now is Pro-Choice. I have done extensive research into their practices and found that they are just setting most people up to fail so that you'll keep using their platform. Best practice is to stay away from all their platforms like Match, OKCupid, Plenty Of Fish, Tinder, Hinge, and Upward. Oh and don't even try Bumble either, it was founded by a former Match employee and has the same ideals. These companies are far from Christian.

I'm extremely frustrated with the site well I set the distance to less than 50 miles I keep getting people 3 400 miles away I'm unable to message people that I want to what should I spend this money for how do I get my money back

This app is a complete scam targeting lonely heart Christian's. You can tell when someone half your age and gorgeous acts like they are in love with you after a little conversation. They ask for your phone # to chat. When their English is more broken than any heart in history, it's one of many dead give aways. They claim 2b free but that's just to suck you in. If they were truly Christians, they would not pull a bait and switch. This has to be the worst dating app out there. Dont waste your time or money.

Dee (Daryl) maybe it’s the same guy (Eugene Dee too I saw above in text)?. Dee is only looking for sex. Constant redirecting conversation to sex. This is not a conversation you have until you’ve been dating for months. Not in the first few conversations. Most guys don’t even write at all. Creepy looking guys hit me up as if they had a shot with a much younger and respectable woman like myself. Interests are Always thousands of miles away. Many have such thick accents I can’t communicate well enough with them for anything serious. That being said. It seems like there’s a lot of guys too on here that would be legit. If I were interested in them, but it’s a hit or miss on attractiveness, distance and quality of life to match with them. Never send money. Always ask intentional important questions specific to your needs in life and how to best match with you as a life long partner. That’s the only goal. If they are saying “see where things go” or something vague. They aren’t ready to be in a relationship! They are little boys trying to play a game. You are better than that and are here to find someone who is ready. Obviously we are seeing where it goes, that’s what dating is, but if they are saying it out loud and putting up that wall, they’re already pushing away. Trying to keep their options open. If they are interested in you, they will text you often and answer your questions with honesty and love in their heart. They will be respectful of your hesitations. If you do meet, do not be physical with them until you’ve established their family and friends and lifestyle life. Truly know who people are before giving away money, body, heart, or too much of your time even. Moving too fast is partially your fault. So stop giving them power. They should be friends and date loyal and respectful for a year before anything gets serious. And know everyone in their lives, not just isolating with only them.

This site is full of Nigerian scammers. I can't help but think it's the same guy putting up multiple fake profiles. Ask for a Zoom call right away and the scammers will fall off. Don't engage in conversation with these scumbags!! This site is such a disappointment. There are good men, however, very far away and about 30% are decent. Some of the photos look like they just got out of prison. Beware!!!

Yes indeed. I was scammed, but I new this guy was a fraud when he asked for money in a totally robotic tone. I didn’t go for it. I deleted the thread, blocked, and reported him. Watch out for John Howard L or John Howard S. Very very sad that these scammers have nothing better to do with their time than to be frauds. I pray they would find forgiveness through Jesus. Jesus Christ is definitely not a scam. Always faithful, truthful, real, and actually cares about our well-being.

Ladies look out for Eugene Dee and Smith (just Smith) and I don't remember his full name but his first name is Kelvin and he's 42 years old from Missouri, they want your personal info and Eugene Dee is looking for a trophy wife asap to make miserable NO you won't get any money or any type of goodies :) PLEASE be very careful Ladies.

I’m an older woman (74) and so I was naturally cautious. I decided right off not to give out any personal information. I’ve always said if you want to know someone’s true character get them mad. I started telling guys upfront that I wasn’t giving out any info and they would all of a sudden just disappear. I am an English major and every one of them made errors. Mostly sentence structure. If I read carefully I can actually hear their accent. Interestingly many of them would use the same phrases and make the same type of errors. These guys have been around the block and are pretty good at what they are doing. I would never recommend this site to anyone.

I was messaging a "gentleman" for four months. He asked me for a $100.00 steam card because he worked in Cambodia for the UN. He told me that we were going to get married as soon as he came back to the states he then said that he could qualify for some money from his "company" but I had to give him my full name, mailing address, DOB, SSN, etc. He went by the name of Kylecardi. Please be very careful. Like what someone else posted this is my last time on a online dating app. In fact he sounded like Mark Dave Baptist 61.
