JSwipe Reviews

I used JSwipe for free for a while and while I didn’t use it too often made a couple matches with some chatting. Never went anywhere but that’s fine. Decided to pay for JSwipe got the 6 month package and started using it frequently. At this point there are no matches/matches that never reply. They can send me a super like or accept my message/like so I know they are interested and yet no reply or they just get deleted almost immediately. Something really strange. I’m Jewish and I would DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND JSwipe TO ANYONE. If you want JSwipe DO NOT PAY, it makes JSwipe worse. Now they have your money and don’t need to provide you with actual service. I’ve gotten better action on almost any other dating app. Tinder, coffee bagel, bumble… screw JSwipe!

I am a premium member and I only get fake profiles pushed to my account. How could this be just a chance encounter? Stock photos with misspelled words and broken English. I’ve reported a prolific number of fake profiles to the developer yet despite my efforts, I continue to receive predominantly fake profiles. I don’t recommend JSwipe especially if you’re considering paying a premium.

Updated response to the developer: This isn’t an issue of your catching “every” fake profile or scammer but having some levels of control where they are not so prolific and predominant. Once a member makes a mistake of inadvertently accepting one fake profile, it unleashes a flood of pushed fake profiles in their inbox and it never ends unless you outright cancel and delete your account which I’ve done (as well as JSwipe constantly crashing) and I won’t be using it again in the future.

...which is because I’ve been reporting every fake/spam profile I’ve come across while swiping. But yeah, the problem is definitely that I’ve reported too many people, not that insufficient moderation (or lack of ANY moderation) has led to what was once the most effective way to meet other Jews at around my level of observance becoming so overrun with spam/fake accounts that it is now literally unusable. Not usable in a safe manner, anyway.

this app used to be the only Jewish dating app I’d use. Now I can’t even report spammers/scammers anymore because there are so many I’ve apparently reached the limit of how many accounts you can report. Which also happens to be the limit of how much BS I’m willing to put up with from JSwipe. Sad how downhill it went since it was bought out. Bye this app

Oh this app, you really are the bad boyfriend of dating apps (even w Tinder).

You’re glitchy, you log me out unexpectedly, and then you can’t figure out where I am or people in relation to me. I live in NYC, supposedly there are a lot of Jewish singles out there. I first deleted this app after I kept running into the same 10-15 people. Many of these matches were outside of my 10 mile radius. I would be rematched with people who I never connected with in the first place? Deleted. Needed a break from JSwipe anyways.

Few months and several threats from my Jewish mommy of creating my JDate profile (peak Jewish mom, I know) later; I tried to redownload you. Turns out I can’t create a new profile? I deleted my Facebook months ago and I am certainly not going to create one purely for you. Bumble, Hinge, and even Tinder have figured out a work around. Your “verification” of using fb profiles to make sure people are real is pretty garbage...there are plenty of fake Facebook profiles out there who somehow manage to make a this app profile (imagine that!)

Sort yourself out. Stop being glitchy and unreliable. Stop awkwardly rematching me with people weeks later. Maybe people will come back but I don’t think I’ll be one of them (sorry mum!).

I think the team who built JSwipe gave up or they ran out of money. JSwipe is glitchy and doesn’t function well. When you swipe, it gets stuck on one profile so you have to swipe 10 times on the same one. There are only about a 5-6 profiles to swipe through. It’s too bad there haven’t been any improvements over the years. JSwipe had potential but the developers never cared to fix the problems. UPDATE: Developer says that I see repeated profiles because I’ve swiped through them all. INCORRECT- JSwipe gets stuck on one profile and won’t move past it even when you keep swiping left. Also, you can see many fake reviews. They sound like a marketing pitch rather than a review. The overall rating is definitely wrong. Too many unhappy users.

Why is this app the worst? Because the majority of people that come up are not even Jewish. Typically the men I’ve seen are from Scotland or Sweden or Germany or Yemen or who knows where else. They’ve gone to the University of Heidelberg or some other school. They have names that don’t sound Jewish. They mostly say “other” re the kind of Jew they are - in other words, they are not Jewish! Oh, and their English is usually terrible because they’re foreigners. And their mileage calculator is way off; recently it told me that a guy in Cleveland was 6000 miles away; it’s only 500 miles from me. And this is not a rare occurrence, where perhaps someone signed up while they were half a world away. That’s how it is with almost every profile! I am extremely unhappy with this app. I have asked for my money back but they said that since I paid Apple, not this app, they can’t refund my money. What BS.

Before my last relationship, I was on this site, paid for the higher level, and saw the same people over and over again listed. Recently went back on, single again, paid for the upper level membership and then it started becoming glitchy. And still the same people. Do they keep people listed even after they leave or are the same people here for years. Either way, I tried contacting them, and was told JSwipe is no longer available in the US. I sent an email saying they’re working on it. I came back a few weeks after when I saw JSwipe was back in the Apple store. No longer have access to travel ID or other things I paid for. Contacted CS, and had to resubmit pics of my subscription and all, even showing in JSwipe Store my subscription was still active, yet I’m getting no response. Seems not legit anymore.

JSwipe seems to be dead, it doesn’t even show when a user was last seen online. Also, almost empty area to fill out the bio from the possible options - how am I supposed to know the values and goals in life of that person? . For the past 2 weeks got 0 likes and only after that some 5 or 6 likes from those who are 300 miles away.
Also, as a Russian man I understand that America is a place where there are mostly fat people and women are generally not very beautiful (except for an extremely limited number of Hollywood actresses, however an average woman 20-30 y o in Russia looks better) and if to take democratic states, not so many whites are there. In JSwipe there are a little more profiles of white women but for the likes I got eventually, it was something like “new to the area, would like to hang out” or many profiles where women drink alcohol while hanging out with friends. For me as a man who wants to build a family, I understand that these are not the options because such women are not serious in their intentions.

I already wrote a review and was sent a stock response. I noticed my complaint(s) was also similar to other reviews…those reviewers were also sent that same stock response. It’s clear this app has no intentions in actually listening and improving anything. In my original review I said it wasn’t their fault that so many profiles are fake or scammers. But duh, yes it is. They could be enforcing verification just like many other apps use to weed out the fake profiles. And just a fun tip, if you come across someone that says, “ alaye”, that’s a sure sign of a scammer. They say we can do our part and report fake profiles. I’ve reported tons…but then I still see those profiles up and active. this app is the worst…mostly because they dgaf and have a stock response for everything.

And this app, unless you’re refunding me my money, there’s no need to respond to this with a copy and paste response.

I’ve been on this app for far longer than I would like to admit and it seems as though whoever took it over after David Yarus couldn’t give a rats behind about helping to create Jewish couples. There are such simple changes that could be made to improve the user experience but there are never any updates whatsoever. How difficult would it be to expand the categories of Jewish communities that people fit into to make things easier for us? Orthodox is way too big of an umbrella and kosher vs non isn’t sufficient either. Why in the browsing section does it show you everyone, even people who don’t at all fit what you’re looking for?? Why if I am one denomination and looking for the same do I have to click through people I would never date? This is such an obvious change that would make such a difference. Everyone always has problems with the messaging aspect and getting new message notifications as well. Feels like whoever runs JSwipe knows that people are going to continue to attempt to use it regardless of how bad it is so they don’t bother to improve it.

JSwipe will frequently alert me I have a message or a match. When I go to check, there is no match or message. When matches do come up, women from other states come up. Why? That doesn’t make sense. Even though I set a limit of 20 mile range, profiles of women from other states/countries will appear for swipe.
It would also be helpful if I when I do enter a specific age group, (or range in miles) only show me women in that age group. Otherwise you (this app) are wasting our time. It’s very disheartening to come across a profile you get excited about and see she lives in Europe!
Or there have been a few times where I begin chat with someone, but the following day the chat disappears. (I’m not aware of a feature that allows you to completely delete the chat, so I assume it is an issue with JSwipe )

The purpose of this app was to bring together Jewish singles who are seeking out something which is important to them—seeking out other Jewish singles. JSwipe used to help us navigate our already limited pool of prospective matches. I am a little annoyed by the lack of transparency of JSwipe . Other apps are up front about what paying for membership means (more matches, targeted advice etc..); however, this app maintains that you have full access to the people without paying(and only the extra features cost money). It is abundantly clear based on my own experience and others with whom I’ve spoken, that the “basic” this app is not the same as the old. I get shown the same people over and over again, and where a few months ago I had 50+ matches at a time, now I only have 5 (and it’s not because of anything changing on my profile). This seems like a change in philosophy of JSwipe , not a technical glitch (of which there are many). The fact that this app is a Jewish app made me stay as long as I did. I used to be a strong proponent of this app, however, if things don’t change soon, I’m going to send all my friends to the nicer boys of Hinge and Bumble.

I bought the basic membership 2 weeks ago, thinking that I’d get more chances with women. But it never shows me any matches it doesn’t show who’s liked me or even the chats that I’ve started with people. It doesn’t show me any new potential matches even though I’ve gone worldwide on the map, it just shows the same people over and over again. and I thought there would be more matches after upgrading but I haven’t seen any. And there’s no recommendations on The match profiles area that indicate like somebody liking me which I had for the first two days and then it glitched out when I was pushing on one of the profiles and nothing else has showed up since. so I feel like they’re just getting greedier and greedier. or they want you to upgrade to the next membership in order to get the messages from chats. and it doesn’t let me see even the matches of who is most like you.

Anyway that’s my two cents.

I am very disappointed from JSwipe. I have experience using Jdate that was in the past and it was much more friendly. this app is very disappointing, you put the search button to search I’m your location and you still see users that are further. In addition, there is no option to verify the profile that feature is very useful and does exist in other dating sites. The result is that there are double profile ( same person on more than one profile with different information) . The feature that allows to travel is a great way for scammers to change their location as they like and there is no filter for that. Being that this is the number #1 Jewish dating site, it is very disappointing.

In agreement with another review I just read: the developers have made JSwipe extremely annoying to use, as the only way to exit out of a persons profile is to reach up and tap a tiny “x” in the corner of the screen which is glitchy and difficult to press. In the past, you were able to just swipe in a certain direction and it would go back to the main page of JSwipe where you could continue swiping. JSwipe is no longer user-friendly. I reached out to this app and mentioned this a couple months ago and I have seen at least three updates go by with no fix to this issue. Additionally, I no longer see mutual friends under a person’s profile, which used to be a nice feature on the older versions. (Also, they now make you pay to undo the last immediate swipe.) Not such a fan anymore 👎

Paid for the first class subscription only to realize that it doesnt change much from the free. The boost is a gimmick, the super swipes are a gimmick too cuz they also dont help. Ive spent at least 30 mins a day swiping only to realize that i get maybe 1-2 matches every few weeks which most of them are from checking out who liked me. The advance search also doesnt work, im jewish but far from religious and kosher, searching for the girls im interested in doesnt work, so im forced to be versatile with my search. All and all JSwipe will work the same way as it did before you subscribe to the first class. Its very barebones from the get go, and feels even worse when you subscribe because that doesnt help.

Two main issues with the new design that are probably easy to fix - when you tapped on someone to see their profile, you used to be able to tap on the picture again and it would go back to swiping view. Now you need to click the X in the left hand corner which requires to be using both hands when using JSwipe . Very annoying and not user friendly! Also, I have seen many people I know on JSwipe yet it shows that we have zero mutual friends. I have tried deleting and redownloading JSwipe and that doesn’t work. I enjoyed seeing my mutual friends.

love meeting new people through JSwipe, but messages don’t send well. I'll have an unread message in a conversation even though I have viewed and replied to it. The messages don’t update smoothly (I have to refresh often) and I really wish there were a few more filters (such as political beliefs, having children, etc.) I also encounter problems matching with people as I'll hit yes and they will still show up as a possible match in the paid liked me section. Once again I enjoy JSwipe but software makes a difference and the user experience definitely needs some work.

A year and a half ago I was recently divorced, and alone in a city. It was the beginning of the pandemic and life had little to offer. I had been dating with nothing serious materializing. I had tried other apps, and while some fun came, nothing serious came. I decided to get on this app because, well, I’m Jewish. I quickly met a girl who was funny, intelligent, and stunningly beautiful. We were quickly chatting every night. We met in person a short while later. Soon, we were going on in person dates. A year and a half later, we are basically living together and I couldn’t be happier. I have to give this app an ecstatic five stars for bringing the greatest woman in the world into my life.

I generally like JSwipe . A really good way to make connections with people, especially during a pandemic. I have been having an issue over the last couple of days where I cannot see my messages after I have sent them. My messages have been disappearing after I write them. This happens even though I still have access to the match (the person hasn’t unmatched). I also pay for the premium account so I don’t know what the issue is. As I don’t know another way to get customer support, I thought I would try this.
Thanks!
