Feeld: Open-Minded Dating App

I love this app and I would love to give it 5 stars, but I’m noticing a really bad bug with it. When the app 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 Feeld 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 the app. 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 the app 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!

Feeld 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, the app 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 the app have made it nearly impossible to use unless you pay for a membership, and I’m not paying $16 for this app. 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.

The idea of this app 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 the app 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 the app 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.

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 this app 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 ;)

The reason this app 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.
