JSwipe - #1 Jewish Dating App for Pc

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. This app used to help us navigate our already limited pool of prospective matches. I am a little annoyed by the lack of transparency of the app. 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 the app, 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.

In agreement with another review I just read: the developers have made the app 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 the app where you could continue swiping. The app 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 👎

Update: Now the ads that repeat ad nauseam (pun intended) —a problem they keep pretending they’re trying to fix—actually *flash* a barrage of pictures at you, making the mess even more annoying. If they wanted to convince us they care about our experience and are really trying to fix this months-old problem, they could do one simple thing: STOP SHOWING ADS UNTIL YOU’VE FIXED IT. Awaiting the crickets or excuse on that idea. Because no; showing an ad for the same crap thing 20x in a row makes them 20x the revenue. Previous, followed by canned developer response that’s easier than fixing the problem: Wrote a longer and very critical review. It “mysteriously” disappeared. this app has had the same bug for months: it gets stuck on the same ad over and over (like, you could swipe left 20 times and it’ll still pop back up) and sometimes does this with profiles. Users have this problem across all os and versions, as you see from reviews. They know it’s a problem, have known for many months. New update hasn’t fixed it. Maybe because they can profit from users seeing ads repeatedly? Saying they just can’t figure it out leaves users thinking they think we’re naive and gullible. Also, it’s a wasteland at this point. Very occasionally a new user appears in the area, and I live in a large city. Probably because it’s so buggy. Don’t bother.

...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 this app. Sad how downhill it went since it was bought out. Bye this app
