CDFF: Christian Dating App Reviews

by Chief Intecessor

No stars......very disappointed because I utilize this device as a premium member.... I paid the appropriate fees ....the first 3 months my status remained at a premium level.... they received my payment for my 2nd 3 months.... however my status changed to the basic (free) level.... I tried to resolve the issue with them by contacting them... they responded saying they were aware that I was a premium member..,, and that I should try logging in and out of my account....the day that issues should be resolved in 24 hours .... well it’s been well over 24 hours ....I’ve used their “contact us” method leaving several messages letting them know it’s still not fixed .... no one has responded.... I’ve emailed them back through the one email they sent telling me to log out then back in.... no one has responded .... and at the moment no one has resolved the issue.... so basically im paying for this premium service and not receiving it....and no attempt to contact me after leaving several messages other than their initial contact of logging out and in, has been made.... so at this point I have to go to my bank file a fraudulent case because I’m not getting what I paid for... go to apple to figure out how to stop their recurring payments and then close my account on this site ....very unacceptable service... this should have been a quick and easy fix, better yet it should have never occurred in the first place!

Don’t waste your time with CDFF because your going to waste all your time typing up a long bio about yourself just to discover that the “save” button is not working and the only way out of the screen is to reverse and than everything you typed up just got lost. Another section of setting up my profile, I wasn’t able to save anything because an add was covering most of the “save” button, and every time I tried to hit the part of the button that was visible, it would just keep opening up the add instead. I was first running into all these problems on my phone, so then I downloaded CDFF on my tablet, and no luck at all. The same problems I had on my phone, I had on my tablet. So long story short, CDFF is completely useless and your will accomplish nothing by downloading it, except loosing time and energy.

I got on to the site thinking it’s going to be great since it’s “Christian” but I was blown away when I thought I was chatting with someone who pretended to be very nice and honest but turned out he was a scammer. It was too good to be true but after I asked him where he lives, what he does etc he mumbled and then later asked me what my address was. I insisted that I get his first since I am the one who asked first and he got sort of upset. But you know as a believer, I always prayed for God to reveal to me who this guy was and one evening after I received his very nice and so sweet email, I decided to copy and paste the whole email and eventually it was him scamming others and several ladies had written about his lies. He starts by saying that he is the only child in his family, with a daughter called Eve to which he says that the mother(wife) passed on while giving birth to his second child and that his mother lives in Scotland ad his dad passed away. Please watch for his accent as he sounds so African or Russian and stated that he lives in Florida. He writes very poor English but I know most of what he would send me was copied from somewhere. Please be on the look out. So I uninstalled CDFF as I couldn’t keep up with such being my first time to try an online dating app, I felt so upset but thanked my God for revealing to me who he was before I was scammed millions or money.

Considering that this is free, you are guaranteed to get more than what you pay for. That being said, there are a lot of drawbacks like basic spelling errors, messaging may show that you have a message when you don’t, issues getting longer messages to send. Also, I found it incredible stressful to constantly be getting messages, and there are almost no ways to filter out or block messages except by out of country or individual user. And just because it’s a Christian app does not mean you won’t get some creepy messages. That being said, I also met some really great people, but felt the need to move those conversations off CDFF ASAP since it was so overwhelming. Proceed with caution.

Honestly, I love the fact that I could send unlimited messages without any cap. The things I do not like is that CDFF is kind of buggy and slow, not many people you could match with due to the amount of users that are active and in range, there are a lot of foreigners outside of the U.S. that view my profile and send me messages for some odd reason, and I also feel like CDFF could run a little smoother in the navigation area. I had an issue where I put the wrong gender in my profile, I contacted management, and they got things squared away for me quickly I did appreciate that. Things could use some tweaking within navigation once again, and if there were more users available, it would be great! Not bad for this type of app though I’m glad there’s something out for our crowd!

Through CDFF I’ve definitely had some wonderful conversations. It’s nice getting to know vast amounts of people who seem to be coming from a similar worldview. However a few things bother me about CDFF . For one thing, anyone can message you (except for people outside your country if you set that option) - this means you don’t have to mutually “like” each other to get a message from someone. This also has meant I’ve gotten messages from people from all over the United States. Which is nice for conversation, but the likelihood that I’m going to fly to the other end of the U.S. to meet someone for romantic purposes is very very slim. And in addition, I’ve been messaged by a few actually rude people. Being the way that CDFF is, it is not unlikely that you will come across a catfish. It seems that the this app team does what it can to remove fake profiles but unfortunately I’ve also been messaged by people who have accused me of being a catfish - even though I at least have a profile picture and they are completely imageless. In the end i have ended up blocking more people than I’ve actually talked to.
The setup overall is just not preferable to me. It’s not the worst in the world, it’s just not preferable.

God Bless 🙌🏾. I love the Live Chat rooms and fellowship with my brethren. However, CDFF has glitches. It isn’t mobile responsive or friendly enough. It doesn’t always log me in. Sending messages can be tricky. The messages I wrote sometimes get sent empty. Do you have a tutorial on the best practices for using your site? That would be soooo helpful!

Like having a video introduction of what each part offers. Explain the forums, how to get involved. And why don’t the Bible Study and Prayer Rooms have an active moderator that invites members in for scheduled prayer and verse of the day? That’s a missed opportunity for soul winning and Christian strengthening 🙏🏾🙌🏾

I noticed that I cannot find the forums on my mobile app, just the laptop access. Can that be upgraded?

Another idea I have are group activities and opportunities to meet in person. I’m a member on Match and they have that option for their premium members. It would be great to be able to meet my brethren in person at scheduled events. Even if we have to start off virtually 🥰

I have a lot of ideas 💡. Where may I email them to you?

Usually, I cringe when asked to leave a review of anything. Especially if it’s a race to 50, but in this case, I am very glad to leave some constructive feedback. Especially with how far CDFF has come.

This is just my opinion, so please take with a grain of salt and try it yourself.

In the world of fast right swiping, gorgeous GUIs like Bumble, I will admit that I was strained to use CDFF at first. It felt a bit archaic. A lot like the not so elite EliteSingles.

The premise of meeting a Christian man was the only reason for my persisting, and I’m so glad that I did.

I would love to see the GUI improve, and be more slick, but honestly that’s just because I’m a millennial and a sucker for front end cute yumminess. As it is, CDFF is fast and functional.

Some back end security to prevent folks in other countries from claiming to be located in the US, would be awesome. I’ve had a few cat fish from South Africa claiming to be in Pennsylvania. But that’s not an issue specific to the site. The internet is catfish central. Just having some preventatives, or checks would really help improve the experience.

I don’t normally write reviews on mobile phone and tablet applications but I’ve been using this service on and off for a couple of years now and I’ve had pretty good luck with it. The most important thing and I’ve seen is this app is really on top of keeping the scammers and fake profiles off of here. In almost all cases I’ll get a message from someone and when I go to check it and they’ve already banned them like lightning! Plenty of fish can’t even claim that because that’s the only thing plenty of fish is plenty of scams and bots.

CDFF is fast, stable and much more reliable than when I first started using it so after a couple years this app has made tons of improvements to this application. Not only that the interface changes over the months have been great. And lastly the community of women I’ve run across on here seem to be pretty serious, so there’s not a lot of bad people aka scammers in here. This is merely my experience though so read the reviews and see what others say. I’ve also not encountered one single bot on here as well. So whatever this app is doing keep up the great work on this platform!!!!

I recently started talking with someone by using the website and decided to download CDFF . CDFF is much easier to use and faster as far as getting messages and responding. The major downfall that I see is that even if you turn on notifications your phone still will not give you notifications that you have received messages Unless you open CDFF . I believe this feature is only engaged if you have the elevate subscription. Otherwise it’s an easy to use app and best of all it’s free!

The only downfall, which probably applies to any dating website, is that there are scammers out there. Just be aware of the language used and things that are said and use your best judgment. However, this app is pretty well on top of things in this department and once reported, they are quick to look into it and ban them! Just be wise!

Sincerely this app user- smileydawn

My this app ID is IQDisciple and I’ve found that finding Christian singles that are committed and real is difficult. this app appears to be the best value. You can message free or reasonably Elevate your account.

Some sites have quality members but only allow you to see who messaged you after you pay to join. this app is different. They may have you watch an ad if on CDFF , but you don’t have to pay to see and send messages. They also do a great job of banning scammers and fake accounts.

Although CDFF sometimes kicks you out of chat, it seems to be improving and is definitely a good place to chat with other Christian singles. Thanks this app for continuing to improve features. As someone on Over 40 mentioned the other day, a one on one chat feature would be a great addition.

by Slothsope

This happens to be a really good app. There aren’t too many good Christian dating apps out there so this one is probably the best. I think I’ve only ran into one profile so there isn’t a whole lot of fakes. Practically everything is free. It’s a great app. The problems I have with it though that is preventing a 5 star, is how horribly optimized this is. It can be so laggy and take forever to load. It’s not my phone since I have the iPhone 8, and it also did it on the 6. Also the UI isn’t the most friendly, some things could be better but from recent updates, I see they are working on that. If they optimize it better so it actually runs smooth, this would be 5 out of 5. It is still a fantastic app though putting that aside.

by WayJinters

this app has a different approach: you don't have to pay just to say "hi" or to encourage someone you feel may need it. And they don't monopolize on you and take you to a payment page and not let you leave like Christian Mingle. Rather, this app gives you the option to upgrade and get more for placement or other things. On the negative, users put the age limits of their interest and don't realize they can't get emails. I've seen women out age limits 1 younger and not realize they can't hear from anybody outside that range. Your interest range is your set limit and often users don't know that. Most people are there to make friends, not to land a fish. Which is the way it should be.

I am PapaZoom on this site and have been active for several months now. CDFF is easy to navigate and contains many features that I like. With the free app you get ads. The ads are a little annoying but easy to work around. It’s a small thing when you’re getting it for free. Yes there are scammers here but they’re easy to spot and dealt with quickly. There are plenty of legitimate people on this site which is more important. I have met several people, a few of which have great potential. I recommend both CDFF and the website and I’m considering joining in the future when I have more time. The free feature is very good and the overall cost should you join, is more than reasonable.

Worthy of Praise

I am thankful to have a site that I can visit to be blessed with maybe someone winking, complementing me, or blessing me with a chat. It is best to focus on the good in life, count the little things in life as blessings. It is wonderful to see people working toward having a better witness for God. Seeing people who pray, praise Jesus and serve our loving God. It makes me so very happy to see people strive to be loving, kind, considerate in reaching out to share their walk with our Savior. May our journey not blind us from the efforts it takes for a site like this to be available to people who seek to be a blessing in someone’s life. I try to keep my eyes on God and not on this world’s imperfections. My thanks to this team and their efforts.

I am new in CDFF and had use different kind of dating apps for a while, I’m happy that I haven’t received any inappropriate messages and haven’t seen any naked pictures which is great, also it’s easy for me to be connected to the person that has right motives. I love that it’s not just for US so you can connect to other christians around the world, i hope there’s a setting for the location that you would want to receive messages from, like if you just want to connect to people that is near by or people that is in specific country. I would definitely recommend CDFF to any person that is looking for a serious relationship or a real friend.

by Stephan_07

I have been on several dating apps and have found no success. All to many times you find scammers, cat fisher and people unfortunately with the wrong motives makes and females. But what I like about this site is that it is genuine and sincere a d if there is any inappropriate behavior or conduct staff immediately addressed the issues and will block people who are conducting themselves not in the right manner. I have met some real nice ladies in her and remind that this is a Christian dating site and that we all should be like minded and equally yoked in the word and in Christ respecting our brothers and sister I Christ searching for true love 1st Corinthians chapter 13 than you this app and staff your awesome and so far my experiences have been great. God Bless Merry- Christmas and I found someone I’m actually and truly interested I. Taki g I e day at a time putting God first.

Sincerely Stephan.

I first joined this app IN 2009 back then it wasn’t as many good looking ladies let me rephrase they’re really beautiful ladies now and they’re seriously trusting this God to work through this app and they’re talking and being stuck up and these are smart ladies that are confessing God really wanting to find respectful men that they can get to know and be friends with first and then have fun dinner dates in a nice place like river walk well lit secured place that can end as nice the great dinner, I’m a deep romantic because I will respect and treat the woman he sends me like he loves the church and that’s what I put in my profile and these women are smart and can spot fraud reason I know is because they say so in their profiles plus this app are scanning for scammers that’s another reason I feel comfortable with this app WONDERFUL PEOPLE.

by Nessiecoo69

I feel safe on CDFF because there are a lot of easy-to-adjust account settings that helped me limit who viewed my profile or sent me winks/messages. It also seems like the users are genuine, and the administrators are always looking out for fake accounts. Sometimes, I’d see a message from an iffy profile come through and then 15 minutes later, that user had a “banned” tag next to their name. So the administrators are very quick to spot those accounts.

One thing I think could be improved: the sign up screens. Some of the blanks wouldn’t allow me to fill anything in so I had to start over a couple of times. This was very frustrating. I assume this is an easy fix and will be adjusted in an upcoming update.

I went on this dating app not knowing what to expect. Dating for Christians has become increasingly difficult in recent years but I was pleased to have a ton of incredible conversations with kind, godly men on CDFF. I have made great friendships as well! But the one person who stole my heart I found on here as well. We were halfway across the country from each other but we arranged a meet-up and it’s been amazing since. God has carried us through and even brought us closer location wise as part of his plan. We are currently six months into our relationships and have been best friends basically for a whole year and a half. It’s been an incredible journey and I am positive this guy is the person God has sent to spend the rest of my life with! Incredibly thankful I gave it a try. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend if you’re looking for someone in your area because there aren’t as many users, but seriously! I met someone halfway across the country from me and our love for God as well as our desire to find a partner who wanted to wait till marriage to lose their virginity brought us together despite the distance.

I’ve used a handful of dating apps and this one definitely takes away all the guess work. You’re able to put in a lot of information about yourself that cuts down on small talk or the “tell me about yourself” statement that we all dread. It gave me a wide variety of potential matches that I haven’t seen on other apps. Sometimes you get the same people on every app so the variety here is definitely a plus. I am ok with the few ads on the free version, no need to upgrade unless you’re absolutely bothered by a small ad. Give it a try. I say it’s worth it.

by Singsing Dok

this app has created a wonderful platform for dating or even just for Christian friendship worldwide.
(However, scamming and phishing do happen as will all dating sites—report them, don’t give them personal information like bank accounts, money, and SSN, etc.)
The major plus is that you don’t have to subscribe with a crazy amount of money. You have the option to watch some ads—a more reasonable business model. Another plus is they have chat rooms for Bible Study, etc. So awesome! Koinonia!
Be careful. Do as Jesus said, “Be shrewd as serpents, yet innocent as doves.”
this app is the one dating app I keep returning to.
