Feeld: Date & Meet New People Reviews

by Film Music Enthusiast

All it takes is one person to report you- for any reason or no reason at all- and this app immediately blocks you. A legitimate app would have a human review any complaint/report before denying access to its service…not so with this app. The human review comes AFTER you have been automatically blocked - regardless of how petty or nonsensical the supposed “violation” may be - and that’s IF you are lucky. In order to have your account unblocked you have to be able to get someone in their customer service to read your request, and that often takes weeks or months. I know because their customer service chat shows you whether your message has been read. And paying for their Majestic membership does not help. I’m a current Majestic member and have been blocked for nearly three weeks without anyone reading my request to unblock my account.

This is my second time making a this app account- the first one I had to abandon because I was blocked for months with no help. Guess what: I finally did get a response four months later, after I had started a new, paid Majestic account. My repeated pleas to this app to put human review before any block occurs have fallen on completely deaf ears. Spending money on Feeld is asking to be defrauded. Spending time on Feeld is asking for infinite frustration.

Several weeks ago I subscribed to Feeld and became a Majestic member. The big selling point to be majestic is that I get a free daily ping as long as I use that previous ping before midnight. I use my daily ping every day before midnight and it is never reset the next day. I have to reach out to tech-support every single day and they give me the runaround all day until evening time when sometimes I am given my daily ping. I have been told that this is being escalated. I have touched base with dozens of tech-support people and they continuously refuse to acknowledge this issue and fix it. It has been three days since I’ve received the daily ping than I paid for. Feeld is completely useless to me because they are not providing the service that they said they were going to. I strongly recommend that no one subscribe to this service and will absolutely be spreading that message to everyone I know. Save yourself the time. Go somewhere else.

I read some reviews for dating apps that were geared toward open/poly relationships and alternative lifestyles in the bedroom and this seemed quite promising. It wasn’t until I paid for the full access to all the features because I wanted to give it a try that I realized Feeld is very disappointing. I live in a very rural area that makes it difficult to meet people interested in polyamory and Feeld is super limiting to where you can search. It has a search radius of 200 miles but when you live in a rural place in MT that still doesn’t cover the most populated places in the state, and outside of that the search options are limited to NYC, LA, Las Vegas, and San Francisco. Maybe Miami, I can’t remember. This basically makes Feeld worthless for me and makes it a huge disappointment after all the hype. Not to mention like every other dating app these days it’s filled with fake profiles. Feeld seems to have potential but sure leaves a lot to be desired.

Had deleted Feeld a year ago. Thought I would give it a go again. I was excited to use my email instead of connecting through FB - but it’s a pain. It won’t just let you be on with a password or kept logged in such as Tinder or basically EVERY other app out there?!?!? WHY?!?!? Instead I have to enter my email and then get sent a link to my email to login EVERY TIME. God forbid I should put my phone down or answer a text because then I get to go through the entire process again. Also the birthday bug isn’t fixed. I saw my birthday had the incorrect day tried fixing didn’t work, but took away two age adjustments in the process. It’s just the day so not a big deal, but it’s annoying. It’s still incorrect. Honestly when on it before wasn’t treated very respectfully or kindly by the other members (actually worse than any of the apps) so to have to go through the login bs and then maybe have some terrible people on the other side seems less than worth it.

Creating a profile means navigating bizzare and ambiguous photo restrictions. You load normal, non dirty, photos: yoga pants, bare shoulders, me wearing a motorcycle helmet. Then, you get 'Inappropriate Content' warnings and strident messages to clean it up. You try other photos, each edging closer to that anti-hot one of yourself in a full body corduroy jump suit. You still get a message las though you were trying to advertise a human trafficking start up. But, infuriatingly, no indication of what, precisely, is 'inappropriate. They just keep sending you back to their policiy statement (which seems written by someone who ignored Freshman English teachings about making statements in the affirmative - i.e what is appropriate; not in the negative - i.e. what might not be, maybe. From my reading: a bikini is OK. Bikini underwear (so lower spandex content?) is offensive. The 'Help Center' is not helpful. Despite photos of three bearded lads (Josh, Brad ... ?) in flannels at the top of the page, it is just bots telling you to 'Help Yourself' with unrelated, drivel, reviewing the frustrated yowls of others who fell into the trap of their bad technology and poor execution of their service. The net effect is a boner crushing, vagina drying, wast of time. It makes one consider just dating whomever Mom thinks would be 'nice'. Ugh.

this app is a great idea for an app. I love that it’s meant to be a space to connect specifically with couples, people who want to join couples, and people who are more on the kinky side of the spectrum. No other app (even the gay hookup apps) offers that approach.

That said, Feeld is plagued with usability issues, as many have noted. The like/dislike feature doesn’t always work, the search parameters don’t always stick, the messaging feature is basically useless, and of course, it’s not ideal that Facebook is required to sign up for an account. Everything useful is hidden behind a paywall: more profiles, more search options, knowing who has liked you, etc. The developers of Feeld have made it nearly impossible to use unless you pay for a membership, and I’m not paying $16 for Feeld.

Additionally, there just isn’t a big enough pool of users in my area. That’s not the apps fault, of course, but it is a reason I don’t like using it. And, while the like/dislike feature is fun, it seems like most of the users just want to see how many matches they can get for a quick ego boost. It’s really frustrating to match with someone only to find that they’re not actually interested in talking or meeting.

UPDATED review: So my account was restored (to a new email account). For that I added a star. More stars could come if I actually meet someone on here. But like before, I have met no one after a month, nobody. Just ‘bots’/scammers/solicitors looking for a phone number. I wonder who has the time to make up these accounts, but I guess they can’t all be fake, right? I mean I can’t be that unattractive, right? Well I have patience.
ORIGINAL review:After almost a month, this app App is dead. I don’t receive the Link to connect to my account, which I stupidly paid for a 3 month subscription for. The service department seems to have mentioned a fix, but they are very hard to communicate with (time zone issue???). I have had no luck anyway, so I may just count my loss and walk away. My advice to those wanting to use Feeld, well roll the dice, talk to your 8-ball or whatever helps you decide, but if you are smart, don’t get a membership, keep it free.

by Wks Laksa

UPDATED: dropped a star because Feeld won’t even load today; just a loading wheel even after fully closing a few times.

Too many bugs, too many false profiles or solicitors. Good when Feeld functions properly and one connects with some of the actual people here and there on this app (Chicago, so not like I’m in a low-population area and even still it’s a ton of fakes and people seeking payment).

Feeld is good in concept. Seems glitchy with persistent in-app update/refresh problems. I often have to fully close Feeld and reopen to refresh messages and feeds. But the biggest hassle is that practically every profile I see is some bot or escort scam. There are some real folks out there; I met some. But the majority are false and scam profiles. Again, great in concept. And a necessary facet to the online dating realm. Just needs more development, more actual users, and better efforts at identifying and removing false and scam accounts.

I’ve been a paid member for quite some time and the quality of Feeld has slipped significantly. For over a year (of PAID membership!), I’ve been forced to look at two “This human has deactivated their account” messages in my Inbox with no way of removing them. I’ve opened formal tickets to Support and, while I’ve received a response from the developers, they’ve done nothing to address the problem. This has literally been a problem for OVER A YEAR and no resolution! But worse than the broken app is the number of SnapChat girls selling nudes and offering “Nuru massage” and other—ahem!—“adult services”; it’s skyrocketed. Not only are these profiles RUINING this app, the adult services they’re offering meet the legal definition of prostitution in just about every jurisdiction in the US aside from Las Vegas and a few others. The Terms of Service state members are not to post SnapChat and Instagram handles and I’d say an overwhelming majority of “matches” do just that. I report every one—dozens a week—and hear nothing back. Shame on the those who are running Feeld! You’ve clearly stopped caring about those of us who are paying you and it should be a source of embarrassment.

I caved and bought the subscription ONLY because feeled claimed I had over 150 likes. Come to find out 75% of those likes had come from men. Despite me being queer and stating that on my profile and never ever having my search recommendations set on men in the settings. Not once. Meaning feeled is showing my profile to straight men still which is rather invasive. Meaning I bought a subscription to connect with people I was never ever going to connect with had never wanted to connect with in the first place. and I feel scammed. It’s disturbing that Feeld would push my profile to people I specifically did not want to meet then trick me into thinking all these likes are from legit people who would actually be a good match. And now Feeld tells me there is nobody in my area despite me living in one of the biggest cities in America. Would not recommend wasting your money especially if you’re a women looking to connect with other women and queer people.

by Jennaych

Feeld tells you when someone has “left the chat” (your DMs). Like, it’s great that people have the option to leave a thread, but why do I have to know that they’re rejecting me? Just let me think they don’t check their phone often...

Really hard to tell if Feeld just doesn’t have the user numbers (it’s not just my location, since I’ve tried the virtual global settings, or if people just aren’t looking during covid, or if my profile is terrible, or if a lot of profiles are fake or “professionals” or inactive, but I’ve matched with maybe 12 people over a 9-month period of swiping. Not a promising ratio. (For the record, I get lots of matches on other dating apps.)

The cynic in me believes I’d have more success with the paid membership, but why should I think things would be different when I’ve barely seen Feeld work at the basic level.

by Geodibtlalrhk

I understand that there’s a big critique that there are a lot of “bots” on Feeld but I keep getting blocked for no reason. Last time I was lucky enough to have gotten through but was blocked again 24 hours later after getting restored and verifying my photos are me. I know I’m an attractive woman, but I feel like I’m being punished because apparently if enough people report you the system automatically shuts down your account, without a human even reviewing it. It’s either that or I am being punished for unmatching people I am no longer interested in because the other party has an option to report you after you unmatch them. I think triggers some outbursts due to fragile masculinity.

Last time it took a week to restore my account because that was when they responded, and I just got blocked again. I had a date this evening and now my plans are canceled because we hadn’t exchanged numbers. Huge disappointment and literally ruined my evening. I also paid for a 3 month membership!! 😡

I remember several years ago downloading Feeld for my iPhone and running into constant glitches. Back then I stopped using it for different reasons but I recently downloaded it again and started using it again.

The great thing is the quality of people, and the relative lack of obvious fake profiles. Head and shoulders above the quality of “people” on Tinder these days. My partner and I love that part.

Unfortunately it is still the glitchiest app I have ever used, and that is saying a lot considering the many crappy apps out there. Constant “connection problems”…. Notifications of messages that don’t show up for some time in the actual app… Etc.

The current problem that sparked me to write this review is that when I launch Feeld it just gives me a blank white screen with the logo in the top left and a spinning wheel that never stops spinning in the middle. I have force quit Feeld . Didn’t help. I have downloaded Feeld update. Didn’t help. Argh. (Did I mention that I PAID for this??)

I have seen the developers post on other reviews how hard they work on fixing Feeld but I have to say, these are the same basic problems that at this point have been evident *for years* so it does not appear that they really are trying very hard. Bummer. Guess we will see if my app ever opens and runs again.

by Pie445

I love Feeld and I would love to give it 5 stars, but I’m noticing a really bad bug with it. When Feeld logs you out it’s very unclear on how to get back in. There is no differentiation between logging in vs signing up for an account. In order to log back in you have to verify your account via email and anytime I click on my email to log in, the link just sends me back to the front page of this app where it asks if I’m 18+. This issue is very frustrating. Both me and my partner were logged out of our accounts and neither of us can get back in. Please let me know how to override this bug so that way we can get back into Feeld .

Also, both me and my partner are software developers and we understand how much work goes into building and perfecting an app like this. Please continue updating Feeld and working on bug fixes. If there’s a shortage in team members, i would be more than happy to join the team to help resolve these problems. Please reach out and let us know what we can do to help!

I’ve been on this app almost since the very beginning, when it was called 3rnder and have been a majestic (premium) bender for much of that time.

On the upside the developers of Feeld seem to genuinely care about the community and the integrity of their app and giving like-minded folks a platform that’s accepting and good way to connect.

On the downside, Feeld is glitchy. It’s gone through significant changes and is certainly much improved. There are some nagging bugs including one where terminated or deleted members remain in my list of contacts as ghosts and am unable to remove them.

There are also a ton of couples advertising as female which is disingenuous, annoying and a waste of time. The developers need to crack down on that more and potentially make a couples profile type in order for everyone to either include or eliminate them in their search preferences. Couples should not be able to advertise as female.

There are also a ton of fake profiles which I believe the developers work hard to clean out. They’re extremely easy to spot, few or professional looking pics, little or no profile information and in your core location.

It’s definitely much better than it was, but still retains some glitchiness. Definitely worth a go, there’s really nothing else like it.

this app is the best app out there but there are too many men who don’t respect women. I’ve experienced stealthing, racial targeting, misogyny and also classicist comments. There men who target bipoc women on every app but this app is the only app that has protected women by taking reports seriously. Assault is a huge problem in the kink and bdsm community so this is reassuring. I suggest avoiding men who admit to liking rough sex and bdsm. It’s too risky. And women who report abuse are routinely banned from bdsm groups so there isn’t a lot of community support. Also don't believe the stats that men in the kink community are more open and respectful. I’ve found that they are the same everywhere. The men on this app sometimes look for women without boundaries which they disguise as being open. And I learned the hard way that there is no such thing as vetting men. Vetted men can still ignore boundaries and are often protected by their peers. My last partner on this app used stealthing which is becoming a more common tactic in violence against women. He is successful, educated and close with family not the stereotype of a boogeyman.

I’ve had a good experience on this app so far. Nothing has come of my time on Feeld , I believe mostly to due to the lack of users in my area. I have also had one highly negative experience with a scammer trying to get nudes. However, the over all experience has felt safe and welcoming. I find small things like not being able to look back at the people you have liked grow bigger the longer you use Feeld . By not being able to go back I’m no longer able to go back over someone’s profile, reconsider the like I sent out, or get other peoples opinions. It’s highly frustrating. This is currently my biggest gripe.

For me, this app sits at somewhere around the 3.5 star range, but I’m willing to round up to 4.0.

by BendyDJ323

Fantastic app. I’ve met some wonderful, fun, and open minded people here. Can’t say enough about that.

I actually like that the community is relatively small at this point. Because it makes people pay attention to each other, and not just “throw away” matches like they do on traditional dating apps (when there’s an unlimited amount of other potential matches available). Also, if you’re going to put yourself out there, you’re likely more intentional about actually communicating and meeting with new people.

Only complaint is it’s glitchy — with the exact same issues happening for at least 6 months. It doesn’t seem to be a super complicated platform, so I’m guessing to just don’t put any effort into fixing them. Also in 6 months I haven’t seen an app update available (seems like those happen every month or so with almost every other kind of app).

by Alex_trackerrater

I haven’t used a dating app or website since OK Cupid back in the day, and I was in for a treat!

I paid for the introductory premium membership (because why not?) and have found this app to be a place where super hot, smart, interesting, queer people are looking to communicate really honestly about meeting up and potentially having sex.

I LOVE that when you swipe left or right, you can return to that person- otherwise you would blow through the entire dating pool with snap judgments. So I love that there’s no pressure to know right away whether you’re interested.

With the Majestic membership, I don’t even swipe that much unless I’m curious or bored. I wait for people to “like” me first, and then decide whether I want to match and chat with them.

I also love the broad gender and sexuality categories- it feels like Feeld could be used for anything, from a straight couple looking for a bi woman to have sex with (common enough) to an individual looking for someone else who has a similar experience as them to play with (eg bi for bi, trans for trans, really anything), to anyone looking for ski or activity buddies in a new city (the buddies would probably happen to be nonmonogamous).

It took a couple of hours of being startled by the variety of people and interests for me to start getting my footing but once I did, I matched with a couple of different cute people, chatted openly and met up with them, had a great time with them. I really like Feeld!

by XXsaxasXx

So this actually my second review and I’ve increased my star rating. Earlier versions were definitely buggy but I felt the need to give the developers kudos for fixing most of these issues. Long messages can still get wiped out for some reason and that’s definitely frustrating. That said this is a great app, its priced fairly and the concept is so much better than most of the dating apps out there. One improvement would be to allow us to see a tab of people you have liked and then go back and ping them if desired. My preference is the ping people but sometimes I don’t have the cash at the time for the pings I need for everyone! Some folks may only need Feeld for a months so that feature may not be needed for them but as a multi-partner person I’m going to use Feeld for quite some time!

by Kayllakay

Okay I understand why you’d like to use social media on an app like this (confirming identity and whatnot), but to not have any other options outside of facebook?? I don’t really know anyone who’s 18+ that uses Facebook besides my older family members, which is exactly why I deleted mine. So if I wanted to use Feeld I’d have to make a Facebook account that I wouldn’t even use, thus making them confirm my identity through my phone number, aka it’s freaking pointless for someone who doesn’t have a Facebook to go through the registration. Truly annoying because this seems to be an app that would have had many influential impacts and hopefully modify the way we think of love, yet it’s being limited by the need of an outdated platform. I would give zero stars if I could because I wish the registration process was worked on A LOT more. Let me know when you drop the need for social media and we’ll chat ;)

by Kaitw89

The reason Feeld gets two stars is because in the beginning we really did meet a few really cool people from it. We’re a couple looking for a third and in the beginning (a year and a half ago) it was awesome! But the past 6 months it’s been 95% other couples who’s bios say Single so they pop up for us despite that not being what we’re looking for. For every 30 swipes there’s maybe one legit person who fits our criteria (keep in mind every week there’s probably only 6-10 “people” to swipe on). Not sure if it’s an algorithm because we’re old timers or couples are just becoming savvy and creating profiles purposely being false but we cancelled the membership because it’s not giving us what we want. It would be like creating tinder as a guy looking for females and 95% of the swipes are other guys. Super frustrating.

by Ann-chanz

Feeld would be so much better if these two problems were fixed. Overall, I’m happy for the album uploads and other fixes.

1. Location wise. A lot of people are using this app. I live in nyc. Brooklyn. They’re shouldn’t that less people in Brooklyn. There’s more people using tinder there than here! It’s a ghost town.

2. Please, do your best at separating the couples away from the single profiles or try to make a selection for people that are creating an account with their partners. The male+female/female+female/etc. Isn’t working out. I am strictly monogamous and I’m really tired of seeing men who have SINGLE in their profiles, but mislead/mention that they have a girlfriend. They can make couple accounts, not that difficult. It would REALLY MAKE MY DAY. But the couple accounts are still shown on the single list as well as for queer and other non-hetero/bi profiles. Annoying.

3. When you report someone, it closes Feeld or it reopens Feeld or it just doesn’t work. I use an iPhone, so I don’t know if this is strictly an iPhone problem. It’s just tedious.

by Chefjenjen

The premise of this app is very progressive and most members are way more honest about what they’re looking for than Tinder, Bumble, Match etc. I have met more ppl than I expected and it literally has changed my life. I estimate that In 3-5 years it will be mainstream. The reason why they only get three stars is Bc not only is their app so consistently glitchy, but Bc it’s taken them so long to fix all of the glitches. I’ve been on it for a year and the progress has been so ridiculously slow. And the glitches are the most basic things, like photos being cropped, and matches getting lost. It’s extremely frustrating.

by 3 For 3nder

The idea of Feeld is great, which is exactly what brought me here in the first place but I have to admit from a technical point of view it’s not very good. I always have to close Feeld and re open it just to see new responses from people. It always tells me there’s issues so again I have to close out Feeld and restart it. I find it to be a huge problem that 9/10 people I match with on here prefer to talk on Kik or some other site because this one just isn’t good to communicate with. I also dislike the filter option. I myself put in a specific filter, but it never seems to filter anything else out so I still get the wide variety of people that I’m not interested in.
All in all it’s not bad just a bunch of kinks that need to be fixed.

by Sivx76

The program keeps logging out every time I click on a push notification or I view a new message.

It has me resign into Facebook each time and often, it loads indefinitely until I manually quit Feeld . Even reloading it, it doesn’t always work. I have to keep uninstalling Feeld and reinstalling it to continue a conversation and respond to a message.

Bug started 2-3 days ago and it’s been happening everytime I get a new message.

by Alathorn

Started my free 7 day trial and worked fine for the first couples days but the last 2-3 days Feeld constantly errors out and say something to the effect of your connection is playing hard to get. Well my connection is fine as everything else connects and runs fine so it is either app or server based issues.

Not going to pay for a service I cannot even use at this rate I’ll end up canceling my subscription before the first monthly charge ever even hits.

by Iloveunicorns901928

We are a couple looking for our first threesome and heard about Feeld from a podcast. It has been by far the best app in terms of meeting real people! The first day on Feeld I connected with a real person and made a friend. I appreciate the free 7 day trial week I was given to test the water and will likely pay for a membership to continue. All apps have fake profiles but this one seems to have very few of those. Will report back once I have found and successfully bagged our unicorn. 😬

by Studycourts

Here’s my original review:

This is a great idea. I loved using it until this last update. Now, it’s completely unusable. I WILL GIVE FIVE STARS AGAIN ONCE THIS IS FIXED because the platform is great.

Here are the details. After the last update, Feeld started automatically logging me out every time I switch to another app or the phone locks. Then I’d have to log back in every time with my email. So I followed the troubleshooting instructions and deleted Feeld and reinstalled it. Now I can’t log in at all. When I click on the link that is sent via email, it just opens my web browser to whichever page was open there.

So I hope my connections don’t think I’m being standoffish. I just can’t respond to them because I can’t open my app.

UPDATE: The glitch was fixed in less than a day. Now I get to say that Feeld is really fun and I recommend it. Yay!
