Contact happn Support

Bottom Line: maybe good for extremely densely populated areas, but not for the rest of the world.

I used the app for approximately one month. For the first three weeks I was moving around Miami, a city I thought large enough to encounter a person or two. Well, this was exactly what happened, I crossed paths with two people; two in a city of over a million. I then was on a long distance road trip going through four or five major cities (Tampa, Atlanta, Nashville, St. Louis, and on north), and I decided to check the app to see if maybe there were more users. Out of all of these places, I only had one additional “happner”.

Only three proximity matches in a month? This implies either the app doesn’t have that many users, or people are conscientious about their data privacy and do not want to share their location data with the app. Either way, it was not worthwhile for me. Finally, since there were no filter criteria, it just felt like Tinder, but with no proximity range.

This was once a good app, I met a few cuties on here, but now they show mostly fake profiles so you don’t run out of people in your area, and there’s no way to turn that off. There are so many scammers and bots on here. Their subscription is bizarrely overpriced compared to other apps, and the women on this app don’t swipe, they just wait for paid “FlashNotes”. And they will show you like 4 people, 1 ugly and 3 hot, and have you guess which one likes you. The hot ones are always wrong guesses, and if you guess correctly it sends the ugly one a match saying you like them and you have to unmatch. I was meeting lots of women on this app until it stopped showing you people you HAD crossed paths with and started just showing you anyone within like a 20 mile radius whom you MIGHT cross paths with. I’m 14 miles outside of NYC so the app went from great to garbage with that update. There’s no setting to change it. Total shame, waste of a good concept to make such a pathetic and transparent cash grab.

Not sure what’s up with all the bad reviews - perhaps people don’t exactly understand its purpose. I have been a paying customer for several years and I just love to look at all the “nuru massage” ads, hit the person up on Instagram, correct their spelling, troll and report them. For roughly 12 bucks a month (spread across yearly subscription) you get endless entertainment as new profiles show up on your list every couple of hours. Happn, you might wanna reconsider your fake “matching” algorithm. C’mon - if I swiped through everyone at 10pm, you really think there will be 5 more matches by 7am on a Sunday morning?

Yes - I am a paying customer. No - none of what I said above is untrue. Yes - I do absolutely give it 5 stars for entertainment value. No - you won’t meet your soulmate here. Yes - you might get a fwb if you pay for subscription and are very patient and careful. No - this app, as advertised, does not deliver and thus - 1 star. No - I’m not trolling; this is an honest review.
