Stir - Single Parent Dating for Negative User Reviews
✓ Structure of app experienceI love the idea of this dating app. It’s hard for single parents to date and meet. The app itself isn’t too good compared to other apps. They push the purchasing option on you too much. I’ll get a notification that someone messaged me or liked me and when I open the app it won’t let me see it unless I pay for subscription. Then after you match with someone and can message for free suddenly their profile will disappear and it will say user not found. I could still message the person but I couldn’t see their profile, luckily we both decided to talk off the app in fear we would lose each other on the app. The users on this app are much better than others so that’s a plus! They just need to work out the tech kinks..Version: 23.06.00
✓ It’s ok, I just expected moreThe basic use of the app is ok, I like the concept as a solo parent. However, I do not understand why you can’t call or video chat in the app. In order to move past texting I have to give someone my personal information. And I don’t always like doing that right away. You can tell more by video/phone call and doing that through the app offers another level of security. The background check is cool but you have to make another account And it’s a whole other process. I’m really disappointed that you can video/call in the app, every other competitor like hinge or bumble offers that. It seems like a basic function so it’s huge miss on Stirrs part. Also there should be way more filtering options, categories like education, etc..Version: 22.14.00
✓ Why can’t I download the app without payment method ?I had the app before then deleted it, now it’s asking for payment method and I don’t see how much it costs to download ?! What are the terms?! This is ridicules! Ask for the payment after downloading !.Version: 23.03.00
✓ Way too expensiveI don’t usually leave reviews, but I felt that I should leave one here because I have a few questions… for one thing; why is it outrageously expensive? It’s such a great concept and a wonderful idea, but it doesn’t make sense to have to spend nearly $100 on a premium. If you don’t subscribe, you don’t get to see your likes and you’re account is extremely limited? I can’t be the only one that feels cheated. I made the account a few days ago, but I’m already thinking about deleting it because it feels kind of like a scam. I would love to continue it but maybe when you guys lower your prices or make the premiums more affordable..Version: 23.09.00
✓ No activityI downloaded it and began setting it up. Literally haven’t had a conversation with anyone on the app. Constantly matching but no conversation 😒 After I switched to using bumble it seems like it’s just not having any activity, I’m not receiving notifications I still match but upon sending messages never get any replies. The point of the app is to communicate and everyone on the app doesn’t seem to do that. Also the prices are stupidly high for the features. I think it’s insane to give the option of people without kids to be on the app. Yeah some people can be ok with dating people with kids but that’s not what this is about. It’s meeting other parents. Not single people..Version: 23.03.01
✓ Bad experience. Bad, bad experience.This is my first time using a dating app. And being a single dad I thought this would be perfect. I was wrong. First of all I had the choice of paying $60 for 3 months or $60 for 6 months. Ok? Not much of a choice there. Went for the 6 months. Then there are add ons. Pay another $60 to message women with free accounts. Pay 10-50 dollars for super likes. Pay extra to be placed as the “top pick”. At the risk of sounding shallow, the ratio of attractive women to non is staggeringly low. Met three attractive women who were in rehab. Went out on a date with a “top pick” who was definitely not. Went out on another date, after two weeks of talking, only to find out she likes dating multiple men. This was definitely a bad first experience for me and has only shown me that this new digital age of dating is not for me. After a little over a month of using this I hid my a profile and will be deleting this app..Version: 21.14.01
✓ Needs a lot of workI don’t see the point in an app doing an initial questionnaire to set matching parameters if they are not to be taken into account. My parameters were pretty clear and if I’m asked for those preferences, I imagine it’s because they will use that information to send people my way that are within those parameters. I submitted age range information and established a radius distance. These were just the most important ones for me. I constantly matched with people who were either way too young or much older than I had indicated. I was matched with people constantly that lived in a different state. TWICE I paid the hefty membership fee and I finally decided to delete the app. No good..Version: 23.09.00
✓ Everything is paid?All my messages and ppl who liked me are blurred out. What’s the point? Sorry, I’m not paying just to check it out and basic hellos..Version: 23.08.00
✓ Possible ScamI upgraded, paid, the payment went through and subscription was confirmed, but I still don’t have any of the benefits of the subscription. I’ve contacted customer care and they say they’ll fix it, but it still hasn’t been resolved. They’ve taken the money and have neither resolved it nor refunded the money..Version: 22.10.00
✓ Expensive for what you getConsidering this is for single parents there isn’t much thought put into efficiency or catering to the single parent community. - expensive for the quality of the app - very little features for filtering preferences, you can only filter age, distance, if they’re a parent or not, and gender. No height. No education. No smoking. Etc. Leaving you to have to filter through a lot of people - glitches - instant messaging is not instant. The refresh rate is slow, so if you’re in a conversation and someone replies, you won’t see it unless you exit out of the conversation and sometimes have to close the app and reopen it - glitches - people send you likes and it gives you an option to message them, if they sent a message it doesn’t appear and there’s no way of replying them. Sometimes the message box says “label”. You can’t reply, you can only X them. - glitches - when sorting through people who have liked you it will skip every other person on the list. - glitches - I have asked for No Email Notifications and it continues to send me emails. I have clicked and unclicked opened and closed. I still get notifications. - redundancy - again, why is an app for single parents not built efficiently? If I X people’s likes they appear again in my Like notifications. So I constantly have to sort through people the same people multiple times a day every day. - the calendar function asks you constantly to share your schedule but doesn’t consider parents who are on a bi weekly alternating schedule - fake profile pictures - there are a lot of stock photos and AI generated pictures I think there should be more promotions or discounts for single parents especially for the genders that are less represented in certain areas. Ex: if they are trying to have more women sign up then they should have promotions or discounted rates depending on the region you’re in..Version: 23.12.01
✓ Not greatSame woman, I see on Tinder, Bumble, Facebook dating. It’s all the same woman on every site. This site is nothing unique..Version: 23.02.00
✓ Time for a dating app revolutionThese dating apps are not meant to help you find someone, because if it did, the makers of the app wouldn’t make a lot of money. Just like doctors, pharmaceuticals and lawyers and everything else folks. I’d like to Audit all these apps cause they are rigged. How do I know that when I “ like “ someone, they actually get my like. I know they don’t. All you have to do is setup this app on two different devices with different accounts. It’s rigged just like the election, the pandemic and the deathjab known as C19 “ vaccine “.Version: 23.09.01
✓ Not free at allIt’s a fabrication that this app is free. You cannot receive or send messages without paying which is the bare minimum offered by others. Complete waste of time unless you want to pay right away..Version: 22.10.01
✓ Meh.I like the concept, but like most dating apps, they don’t want you to find your person because that will take away their income. As a result, the filtering is minimal at best. I wouldn’t mind paying for an app that is worth it. And hey, we are single parents so we don’t have time to read through countless profiles. Spar me by calling the app free unless you do in app purchases. You can see people on here and set up a profile, but nothing after that. You have to pay around $100 for 6 months just be able to read someone’s messages to you. So, unless you are just looking, don’t bother. I get that they want people to pay, but tell it like it is. I don’t even think you find out what the app costs until you fill out a profile. It is the app stores that could made this process better..Version: 22.08.01
✓ I can’t view any of the people I like. It’s a pain.I don’t know how to use this site very well, can you only view people you like if you pay or something?.Version: 23.10.00
✓ Change the optionsWhy do we pay a bunch of money and still don’t get all the features?!?.Version: 22.02.00
✓ Great Premise but fails to deliverI downloaded this app because I liked the idea that Ianyone I met would already know that I had children and to meet other single parents. Herein lies the problems, if you navigate away from writing your profile or sending a message to someone, you lose it. Well you can message mutual matches for free, we can’t see who likes you to know if it’s a mutual match; so it’s basically a gamble if you happen to stumble across each other‘s profiles and like one another. You can’t review profiles that you’ve liked, and can’t even review your mutual matches. I got a notification of him he’s full match, started to write had to stop, lost the message and now I can’t write to them anymore. Single parents are busy! We’re not always going to have time to write a profile in one sitting or send a message to somebody in one sitting. I understand that this is “a premium service“ $120 all at once for six months is not necessarily in everyone’s budget. Maybe offer at 7 or 14 day free trial to see if we want to pay for those features. Overall I’m really frustrated and highly considering deleting..Version: 22.04.00
✓ Horrible App and Customer ServiceVery little functionality unless you pay an extremely high premium subscription fee. I paid $40 for 1 month just so that I could read messages that I received. I still couldn’t read the messages. In fact, not a single new feature was added to my account. I reached out to customer service via email (the only way to contact Stir), which takes 24+ hours to respond. The response didn’t even address my question or issue. It’s as if a robot responded with some standard response. I replied to the email clarifying my question, and will now have to wait 24+ hours for a response. Additionally, I have since realized that the profiles are awful, very low quality..Version: 22.01.00
✓ Rip offMatch played a sneaky little move and created stir. They are absolutely identical so do not buy both!.Version: 22.10.00
✓ Not worth it for womenApp is not worth it. I reported a hostile message which violated Stirs policies and the user was not removed. I can block the man but I think Stir is not protecting other women from him. Other apps have more users and lots of better options too..Version: 23.06.00
✓ Not much of a site.The site is really basic and kind of boring. 50 bucks for one month to try to chat with someone? Lots of other apps that offer a lot more, for a lot less, or free. Disappointment..Version: 22.08.01
✓ Fees are ridiculous.I paid $30 for the premium package (which I’m under the impression it covers most if not all the perks, it’s premium !) boy was wrong the minute they withdrew the $30 they wanted to charge me for extra super likes before I even used one super like that I just paid for then they wanted to charge me just to be replied to …YES YOU HEARD CORRECT. In the Case that I like or send a message to someone who does not have a premium account. They offered a fee for that, like why would I have to pay for that! I think it’s ridiculous, they got me on the first $30 (in to the company I’m sure that’s all that matters they just need us to subscribe even if it’s once they just need us to purchase a premium package even if it’s just for one month and I gave them just that I would advise you not to do so. I just canceled my prescription so 30 days from now I will not be charged again. If we’re paying for premium, we should have access access to most if not all the perks otherwise what are we really paying for? And the one time I do decide to pay on a dating app it would be one that seems to be a rip off..Version: 23.12.01
✓ Don’t pay for premiumNot worth it.Version: 23.11.00
✓ Not worth itTerribke.Version: 23.02.00
✓ Stay far away, far away being the operative wordTake the least amount of value you can think of for your money without actually getting robbed. That is Stir. There is not nearly the amount of users as the other platforms such as Match for example (stir is owned by Match) so expect to be offered “matches” 1-2 hours away regardless of the criteria. On a dating app specifically designed for single parents. Expect to be “matched” with people you’ve already chosen to be not a match, 24 hours later and multiple times going forward. Expect to have no possibility of a refund. Expect to have no possibility of using your membership on a different site owned by Match whether it be an option within the app or via a credit for dissatisfaction. This is a great idea in theory with the poorest execution possible. Anyone who’s ever been a single parent knows you either cannot permanently leave the State if you “match” with someone long distance nor would most single parents even be able to do so logistically. Total waste of time and money..Version: 23.07.01
✓ I would leave 0 stars if possible…As an app, this is the poorest developed application out there. The interface was wonky most often with different text cells merging into the other. Right now I have a notification, but can’t even access the program. For a majority of the time it would not work. Even the online platform would not work. I have paid for a certain amount of time and I feel I’ve been robbed. Not only does it not work half the time, but there is so little information to go off of, for each profile. I will not be recommending this to anyone. It was a complete waste of time and money. I don’t write reviews, but I felt like I needed to say something. This was a frustrating experience..Version: 23.04.00
✓ Your site will not allow me to write a review.If you can read this! Your website is a big was off time. I will receive a email stating I have 24hrs matches. But when I get on to review them, I only can review two before this sign stated. Come back later or something like that. So I have to expand my sea h for a match up to 250 miles. Again I cannot see if this review is being posted since your website has Whittier out my web page. But your site is horrible and I will not return nor recommend this dating site to anyone . I will finish out my three month purchase but cannot wait to get on this. What I have come to see, fake, scam, rip off website.Version: 22.03.00
✓ What kind of app is this where if both people aren’t paid subscribers can’t communicateWhat kind of app is this where if both people aren’t paid subscribers can’t communicate.Version: 22.07.00
✓ Algorithms are placed to keep you interested but not fulfill your needsThey’ll set you up with people that match your interest but they’ll almost always be an hour or more away. The reason I’m writing this review is I am an attractive guy and do get a lot of likes but there always super far from where I live. My job is in the technical field that has me traveling all over central fl. I notice I get more likes in the general area of where I live when I’m an hour or so from my house working but when I’m home I never seem to have an option or get a like from people in my area, it uses your location against you. The app is good to keep your attention but not fulfill normal peoples needs in the dating industry. I’ve met a few people on here and it works for me but only because they haven’t adapted there algorithms for someone in my profession. Would definitely recommend a different app if you wanna meet someone local..Version: 22.05.00
✓ Don’t BotherI’ve been using this app for about a week, I gave it the benefit of the doubt, every 5 likes they ask you to upgrade, which was annoying. I get it though, the app needs to make money, it wasn’t a huge ordeal. What was the deal breaker was after 2-3 days of trying to see if there even was a daily swipe limit, I noticed it was recycling profiles I already seen, and sometimes in the same couple of minutes of eachother. Idk if people actually get off on this site, but it just seems like a cash grab..Version: 22.07.00
✓ Can’t communicate with othersPaid the upgrade and can’t send messages to other people! What is the purpose of this app?!? Waste of Money. I thought it was going to have the same features as Match..Version: 22.03.00
✓ Money grabLike any one of the apps out there, it’s just a money grab…. And they won’t even give you notifications if someone messages you…👎🏻.Version: 22.07.00
✓ Truly horrible appThis app is really bad. There are standard questions that they ask you at the beginning but don’t give you a “back” option while setting up to quickly modify. They then pipe these into everyone’s profiles and they’re the least revealing/interesting questions I’ve ever seen. They tell me nothing about a person. But then they show up across all profiles and often that’s the only info people have up. There is no prompt to complete your open-ended profile piece. Further the people in the apps are barely even located in my area and I live in Brooklyn! Someone from Pennsylvania showed up in my swiping. They also all seem lowkey republican - one of the only dudes who was remotely handsome had an anti mask statement in his profile lol pass. They need to do some mega promotion of this app to expand the pool in nyc or it’ll never take off..Version: 22.01.00
✓ Just not what I though it was.My opinion.Version: 22.08.01
✓ Not enough users per radiusLocation filtering doesn’t work . Paid for premium and nothing unlocks . Doesn’t have premium features that other dating apps have . I would not waste on this unless you want to drive long distances ..Version: 23.11.01
✓ Doesn’t work properlyThe app doesn’t work properly because I constantly tells you that you ran out of people to see for the day, even if you change all of your preferences and put it to a 500 mile radius lol. Makes no sense. Also, I live in Southern California so there’s no way that it’s out of people to show me. Also, in order to even see your legs or message anyone or practically do anything you have to pay for the subscription lol. It defeats the purpose of being something for single parents, and then it also allows people who don’t have children which makes it weird..Version: 23.10.00
✓ I would like to be able to have more filters on who I’m looking forI would like to be able to have more filters on who I’m looking for.Version: 23.10.00
✓ It has potential but no free trial or free messaging offered.You get more features for less with Tinder Gold. Even with standard you get free messaging. This app has so much potential but not offering free messaging is having many single parents getting rid of the app. I love the concept of it and how it cuts to the chase that for single parents we don’t have to bring up the kids discussion like you would on other dating apps. Save your time and don’t bother downloading this app. Waste of time. Hopefully there will be a free messaging feature of a trial at least since many others have addressed it as well..Version: 22.04.00
✓ WorstThis app is unfortunately the worst dating app I’ve ever used. Do yourself a favor and get on Hinge. Their set up is much more user friendly and you don’t have to pay anything to thoroughly enjoy it. Your likes and messages will rack up but you won’t be able to see them unless you pay and/or match with them naturally by swiping. This would be fine but I’ve swiped left on nearly all of my recommendations everyday and that number never budges, in fact it just keeps increasing. Seems shady to me like they are just trying to get you to upgrade to premium. I don’t want to have to pay an exorbitant amount of money to see who “liked” my profile. My daily amount of swipes runs out and I’m left with 0 matches every time. Meanwhile on Hinge, I have a multitude of matches and conversations going. Something isn’t right. Also- the fact that I can’t hone in on my preferences wastes everyone’s time. But I’m sure that’s a feature you have to pay for. Of course. Save yourself the time and money and don’t bother..Version: 22.08.00
✓ Have to pay to see messagesLots of responses here from the developers claiming they’ve listened and fixed problems. But if they have, I’m not seeing it. After uploading pictures, filling out bio, answering prompts, etc, all likes are blurred out. I have a few messages this morning and only ONE shows the photo and allows me to see what he wrote. And it’s not someone I ‘liked’ so I’m pretty confused as it’s not a match. If I tap the other messages it takes me to the pay options, all of which are spendy. I can’t even see what they wrote sans photo. I can’t tell if this app is worth it from what little they show you on the stripped down ‘free’ side, so I’m certainly not going to lock myself into an expensive subscription. Also, screening is nil. Tons of guys without kids. When I x-out someone the app shows them to me again. I also have no idea what the star icon or lightning icon means and can’t find any explanation anywhere. This was a hood idea, but poorly executed..Version: 22.04.00
✓ Money grabI have been on a lot of different apps over the years and I always get matches after a week or two. This app, 0 matches after 4 weeks. They just want to sell you premium..Version: 23.09.00
✓ Misleading SubscriptionsAfter being on this site for free for a few weeks I decided to upgrade to a standard subscription. Only to find out that all the lakes I’ve received I can’t see unless I upgrade for another hundred and change dollars sorry but I should see who is liking me for the $40 I just spent. Not just being able to like people myself or to reach out to them. Complete waste of money.Version: 21.14.02
✓ Don’t waste your money. The platform is dead.No interactions, ridiculous rates just to find out that a random person 5 hours away sent a like..Version: 23.06.00
✓ Highway robberyWhy does premium cost an arm and leg, single parents don’t make much. Highway robbery. Also if I have 2 matches, why can’t I see them. An app shouldn’t cost this damn much..Version: 23.05.00
✓ Not very single parents friendlyDating is already hard for single parents and this app did nothing special than any other dating apps.Version: 23.07.00
✓ Clunky and CheapI downloaded this because I heard about it through word of mouth. Good concept, and there are quite a few users in my area. I do like the prompts for interests, etc., and the extra details provided on users’ parenting situations. But, the whole thing looks and feels amateurish. Pictures look horrible, with terrible quality. It feels like I’m testing the original beta version of Hinge. The matching and “like” system is very confusing and seems unstable. And regarding matches or likes, the push towards pay-walled services is way over the top. I mean - someone sends me a direct message and I have to pay $120 to view it? It constantly tells me it’s “rush hour” and to pay for a boost. I doubt rush hour is at 1 pm on a Wednesday. I don’t mind paying for premium dating services (I do on other apps). I would not pay here. Here, it feels like you’re paying for basic services on a confusing app with questionable “dating value.” Despite some good ideas, the user experience here is outdated, unappealing, and feels very exploitative..Version: 22.04.00
✓ ScamA complete scam, can’t verify my account, you go to the help page and you tap links to talk to support and it says the page does not exist. I can log in and verify my email, but I can’t complete registration because I have to verify my account via text too and to this day that I try, I don’t get any texts. I can’t even access my main page to even delete! I asked support to delete my account three times and I still have someone yet to get back to me. Waste of time. Do not sign up!!!!.Version: 23.11.00
✓ App has a lot of bugsI just signed up to pay for this app last night and I’m already having issues. I have three intros in my inbox and I can’t respond to any of them. If I go through the people who have liked me and try to swipe left on them, they remain on the list of people who have liked me. If I swipe right, it doesn’t do anything and just skips to the next person. I’ve tried to contact app support but it says that the webpage can’t be reached because the server is down. I checked to see if an update was available snd there’s nothing. So I literally can’t do anything to fix this. Extremely frustrating because this stuff isn’t cheap and yet, I can’t do anything with it..Version: 23.09.00
✓ Mediocre App - poorly built and rudimentaryWhat a waste of time and money - not just for the person using it, but for the bozos that built it. Pretending to be something it is NOT! If I could give it no stars, I would.Version: 22.04.00
✓ Can’t even see matchesThis app is not a user friendly app at all. You can’t even see people who are interested in you unless you pay. It’s all good to see “local singles” but not getting to see who you’ve matched with is a terrible business model. As a single parent I want to waste less time talking to people who are incompatible, this app exasturbates it.Version: 22.07.00
✓ Flawed premiseWhat type of idiot is designing these apps for Match group? The premise is that single parents want to meet other single parents. Why anybody would want to limit themselves only to this category of people is ridiculous…you’re ruling out at least 50 percent of the population. I’m a single parent and I’ve never dated another single parent. (Singles who don’t have kids are more than happy to date singles with kids.) I wish they didn’t wreck OkCupid because that was the only decent site/app left that had any substance to it. The only app that has decent guys on it now is Bumble. This app is going to fail because nobody wants to pay for such a limited population of people. And I don’t need an app to help me schedule dates. If two people can’t find a time where they can both meet, the mutual interest isn’t there. Useless app..Version: 22.01.00
✓ Couldn’t delete this fast enoughMisleading. Have to oat if someone sends you a message. Not willing to drop $30/month on another app to find out I was catfished. match has become desperate since bumble and tinder. They’re scraping for cash..Version: 22.02.00
✓ UselessThe free version is completely useless. If another user sends you a message you can't even read it if you're on the free version.Version: 22.03.00
✓ Expensive and creepy guysI paid the 20 USD to get the full app experience for a week - and if it accomplished anything it is not wanting to find new love in my life. Like so many said in previous reviews as a single parent this app is a bit pricey. My matches were looking for anything but a relationship. I have collectively never met worse guys than on this app. Something is completely wrong on their selection algorithm which should be more than just age, location and kids. You are very limited on how much information you can provide on your profile, or how interests are matched up, and pictures are not verified as compared to other apps. You match because of the picture you like, pretty much like selecting a meal on a restaurant menu. Guys are looking for (bleep) and definitely not for a long term partner/friendship. I have received explicit pictures and messages from pretty much anyone I had more than a two minute conversation with. There is a way to report users, but sometimes it was like a car crash, so bad you couldn’t look away. There is a way to delete your profile - thank goodness. 6 days later and I am done for good..Version: 23.07.00
✓ The profit for dating app concept is upside down.What these developers don’t seem to understand (ESPECIALLY with parents) is nobody wants to wait till things are mutual to find out important information…especially if PARENTS…SINGLE PARENTS…have to shell out money that they likely may not already have. “The search” on these dating apps means we’re looking. The basic feature should be to help members find matches. But the selling point is “hope that you match, then hope for the best…but if you want the best, pay us…and then hope for the best” It’s a flawed concept that puts the users at a complete disadvantage and puts the app at 100% profit no matter the result. If you’re paying for a year, they made a profit while you’re still searching. It should be you match and all those paid features enhance the experience. Possibly pay to make your profile to stand out more? Not pay to search. The comments by the developers are predatory after the fact that they’ve already made a profit. It’s a shame these developers (for most of these apps) are profiting off of potential love..Version: 22.14.00
✓ NO free services and even paid is a wasteThis app is a total waste of Time. I only wish I read the reviews FIRST. It asks you to pay $40 for 1 month and only then after 1 FREE chat you must pay to do all the same things other sites allow for free with better results. Single guys with NO kids are using this site for Parents ieA- People with kids ! This is the basic rennet of this site. The preferences are useless and poorly calibrated. Distance preference- for example is useless. I’m asking fir my ONE month back after 24 hours of use. Stay away from this. Business Model is stupid. Trap people for a month to get at least that upfront while delivering trash ticks people off and the cost- benefit analysis will not work in your favor because bad press will do this app in..Version: 21.13.00
✓ Instagram hackers made this app!Instagram hackers made this app!.Version: 22.10.01
✓ Customer support is really badTo be honest, I had the worst experience with this app I downloaded it and I had it for literally three days on the second day I match with someone a text her and then the next day I hop back on the app to check in for my surprise it logged me out and I kept on trying to log back in and it just kept on saying that there was a problem so I contacted customer support and I waited for the response and all they could tell me is that my account was terminated because of privacy policy and I told him to give me an example how I broke their privacy policy and after that, they just ignore my emails and they left it at that and this was literally my first time downloading. This app I don’t recommend it. did anyone else have that problem?.Version: 23.10.00
✓ Too expensive for a single parent.I thought would be an okay app because at least everybody would have the same issues when it came to dating. The idea was spot on but the cost to get a membership is just to much. If this is a premium dating app why not just charge $40 to download. The thought of a single parent paying this much for a dating is crazy, we are SINGLE PARENTS!!! Which means some of us are raising kids on our own and to waste money on a “premium dating app” as it mentions in most of the reviews that mostly say the same thing about being to expensive and not being able to delete their profile completely, you would think changes would be made by now. To the developers, hire some single parents and then maybe you can get some real changes that can help make you app better. Good luck..Version: 21.14.00
✓ The worstI joined Stir and a month wanted to cancel it. It’s the worst one yet. Not a lot of people compared to Bumble( which is great and you pay monthly so possible to cancel anytime). When I joined I thought I was going to pay monthly. It even said cancel anytime. Yes you can cancel anytime but they don’t give you back the months you have left. My suggestion, don’t waste your time and money on Stir.Version: 23.12.01
✓ Don’t even bother.They hide people that have liked you. Just to get you to pay to see who has liked you for $50... charging single parents $50 a month.. if the devs of this app knew anything about being a single parent that price would be less than half of what it is. Way out of touch. Wish there was an option to give 0 stars.Version: 22.04.00
✓ Complete waste of moneyThis app is a complete waste of time and money. I do not recommend!.Version: 23.03.00
✓ Horrible..Can’t even see messages without purchasing a subscription… at least in other apps you can at least chat without having to pay..Version: 23.07.01
✓ Expensive for single parentsThis website is dedicated to parents that are single. It is credibly hard to afford everything being a single parent, and having no one to rely on. I do believe in paying for things that are worthy. But it takes over a week of free trial to know if you really like something. It takes 21 days to set any new goal and I believe that it takes about 21 days to understand what you fully like and don’t like it would be cool if the prices were decreased and the trial period was longer. Especially because there’s so many free websites. But what Star has to offer about someone’s schedule is very important because as single parents you don’t have much time so that’s the first thing you try to aim for is someone that has the same schedule..Version: 23.11.01
✓ Still not matched with anyStill not matched with someone.Version: 23.09.00
✓ Useless and expensiveI bought a month membership after I signed up because I was unable to see the members who liked me.. but I wasn’t able to still see them or read the messages so I decided to buy 3 months membership for $ 90 dollars after getting about 30 likes and 5 messages. As I scrolled and deleted the people I didn’t like and read the 5 messages.. the likes and messages stopped, I was getting liked notifications daily and something in the middle of the night and as soon as I payed no more notifications or messages. This app is expensive and I expect more from it.. I truly regret all the money I payed for..Version: 22.01.00
✓ Guys!I was hoping to get on the site to actually find parents that wanted to become more than penpals. Have the same interest and hopefully find somebody Worthwild to leave this dating app world alone. My personal experience with this app is guys pretending to be one thing, different ages, and such. Do you have guys that are not parents on here. I have no idea what raising a child is like. Do you have guys on here that are just wanting to be penpals and nothing more. I have not been asked out on one single day or actual any follow through when I say, let’s grab drinks and talk more. I am not asking for much just somebody who is not to pretend who is real and who will actually want to meet in person besides being a penpal. This is my own personal experience. I’ve been on the site for about a month paid for three months and I am ready to just cancel and move on with my life. I’m a single mom of two children who also runs a small business and does not have time to play games. I am just asking for someone to be real and honest. I hope you have better luck than I did..Version: 22.12.00
✓ Lower your expectationsIt’s a nice distraction app but doesn’t allow you to put in enough information to make anything but a superficial match. I suppose it could be a single parent hookup app but I haven’t felt comfortable enough to meet anyone in person. It definitely doesn’t ask for enough relevant information for me to feel comfortable introducing any of my matches to my kids…also the premium prices are ridiculous. Most single parents don’t have $20 a week to spend on a dating app and I don’t think it’s worth a 6 month investment. They should offer a one month free premium trial..Version: 23.01.00
✓ Make sure you cancel your subscriptionThis app didn’t really work for me for multiple reasons, but at this point I don’t care about how functional the app is. When I used the app, it was always trying to find ways to get me to pay MORE to get more content or to see more matches. I just kind of let it go and forgot about it. Well, I woke up this morning with a $40 subscription fee for an app that I don’t even use. You’d think if an app is already collecting so much money, that they wouldn’t try to up sell you every time you open the app. $40 down the drain for something I don’t even use. I canceled my subscription, but again, y’all keep trying to upsell people who, apparently, already have $40 subscriptions. This app is genuinely not worth that much money. Put your money towards human contact. This was honestly my first experience on a dating app, and I probably won’t ever use these things again. Plus all the personal information this app has access to? I think this is the first time I regret downloading an app. I never write reviews, but this app deserved one..Version: 22.10.01
✓ Don’t buy a subscriptionHonestly the worst dating app I’ve ever used. I had high hopes being a single mom. The options for profiles are so unhelpful, the site is full of creeps and there’s no real way to deal with them other than blocking. The only way I found this out was to pay for a subscription which is just ridiculous to me. App for single parents and you’re asking for payment to discover the app is garbage? Not cool..Version: 22.04.00
✓ What the?!I would NEVER pay $40 for a month to simply pass on people.. and without even being able to see what’s out there first. The app is set up exactly like hinge BUT SO MUCH WORSE. I’m sorry but showing me only two messages from people who are bottom of the barrel pickings with trash profiles isn’t going to peak my interest to go premium. ESPECIALLY not for that price. Not even a 7 day trial or anything to give anyone time to feel out the app. That’s how you know the app is trash. I set up a profile then go to bed, wake up to a “you’re so popular” message saying I have x amount of likes and messages. Like hinge they show a couple of the messages and the rest are blurred, unlike hinge you don’t get to see more as you skip.. the two is all you get. I didn’t even browse or get the change to like anyone myself so I have no idea what that half is like because profile and app deleted after 8 hours. THIS APP ISNT IT. WASTE OF TIME..Version: 22.07.00
✓ Do not use this. It’s a money grab. Read fine printI downloaded this and paid for the subscription. I don’t get matched with anyone even though I fiddle with the parameters and can’t choose to look at any other profiles except the ones suggested once a day. There is no options on height or what they are looking for or they will be super far away outside of state in the suggested even though I didn’t choose outside of 90 miles. I tried to cancel from beginning but when I found out how bad it was. The won’t let you cancel or refund and keep taking money. If you click help it takes you to their website of a blank page. I tried through phone, pc and tablet. Please people don’t pay or stay away from it. I hope I save some of you. #1 I’m a single parent I thought maybe this would help. I rather date someone who knows what it’s like. Money is tight sometimes and yet you know I thought I made a good investment into trying to find someone with this. Just taking money from people and not giving a care..Version: 22.04.00
✓ Waste of timeThe only benefit this app has over others is the option to filter out people who don’t have kids. But honestly, it’s not even much of a benefit… like at all. The esthetic of the app is not attractive. It looks like a website made to be viewed for a computer being viewed on a mobile, to me. The paragraphs appear cut off. Maybe I’m nit picking, but I spent $30 to try it for a couple months and still was asked to pay for extra features to make my profile visible. It’s all the same people you can find for free on Facebook dating or even better Bumble. I was on the app for maybe 2 weeks and on it had one person reach out all they asked was what my favorite position was… not even a “Hello”. I just deleted it. Basically threw away $30. Bumble is much better. Go to Bumble..Version: 23.02.00
✓ Not impressed at all.Several complaints: 1. I set my location preferences very specifically to be matched with people within what I consider a reasonable distance from me. The majority of the matches I’m getting are more than 5x that distance away. Some are not even in the same state! Useless “preference” if I have to sort through listed locations on each profile before I even consider chatting with someone. 2. There are A LOT of people with “no kids” and “do not want kids”, some even have both options shown on their profile. Major red flag, in my opinion, for something designed for single parents. Why would I ever want to consider talking to someone who “doesn’t want kids”? I can find those people on all the other apps. 3. I do not want to receive an email every time someone messages me. I’ve turned off every notification option I can find, and I’m still getting emails from this app all day long. It’s a nuisance and it’s totally unnecessary. 4. The profile prompts are awful, with only canned answers you can pick from. 5. $$$.Version: 22.01.00
✓ Great concept but limited features and membersVery pricey for what it is, I love the concept but there are other apps that offer the same features & more for less subscription price. I don’t understand why the fees are so high. I also don’t think it’s a good idea to advertise this as a parents app but there are people on here with no children,atleast there is a filter to remove users with no kids from feed. There are not enough users to choose from, and I truly believe that if pricing was cheaper and more features were free and not locked.. more people would be using this app..Version: 23.09.00
✓ Wow don’t download thisI would love to see girls but this app is considered a scam..Version: 23.07.01
✓ Crap waste of my timeCreate the profile, jump through the hoops, about ready to go. Ooops let us text you to verify your profile. I know this is unusual but what if I don’t have a cell phone for you to text?.Version: 22.07.00
✓ No serviceI downloaded the app, tried to open an account, got banned. Emailed customer service. They said I violated policy, even though I never even got to use the app. I asked how I can rectify what I violated, they said they can’t disclose to me what I violated. What a waste of time..Version: 23.12.01
✓ Horrible don’t botherNot one match I have all my options open I paid for boosts false advertising and scammers.Version: 22.13.00
✓ Terminated my Account with No ExplanationI registered, provided my pictures and other personal information that they asked for, and when I tried to log in the next day, I received an error message that access to my account was blocked by the admins. I reached out to customer support only to receive the below email. “Please know that due to our Terms of Use, your Stir account has been terminated. We believe this action to be in the best interests of our member community. Any new accounts created will be subject to review and will be immediately terminated.” No explanation, no reason why it was terminated and why any new account that I would create (which I definitely won’t after this) would be terminated! I am a legitimate single mom and I provided my own information and pictures. When I demanded an explanation and for my personal information to be deleted from their servers, they said “Due to our privacy practices, we cannot disclose specifics about any Match account, including your own.” I’m very frustrated and DO NOT RECOMMEND this app to anyone, unless you want your personal information stolen..Version: 23.06.00
✓ Awful User ExperienceThis app was either terribly designed or they have zero control over bots. I get email alerts on a daily basis that “so and so likes you” with a photo, and when I click to take me to the app it’s a different person and name 🤣 It is absolutely comical. I tried sending an email through the “contact us” section and entered all the information. It told me a phone number was required (I had already entered it) and I hit send and told me I needed a phone number. I literally entered it three times and it never went through. Easiest way to deal with a bad product is make it impossible to contact you hahahaha. Really cool idea. Terrible app interface..Version: 23.09.01
✓ Absolutely disappointing!!!!!!Seems like a great idea! A platform for people to meet that have similar situations, with minimal judgement and reservations. Problem is, if I’m laying $20/mo, I should be able to search at as many profiles I would like for as long as I long, not what some computer program deems is allowable. I also should be able to start a message, go back to review the profile and continue my message without losing the profile altogether. I feel like I’m being ripped off by not being able to review my likes, being able to continue looking through profiles, or review profiles while working on quality messages before sending them..Version: 21.13.00
✓ Over ratesI downloaded this app single it’s geared towards single parents. Hers the bad 1- super expensive subscription. 50$ USD and the free version is a joke. 2- you cannot restore your subscription if you decide to close your profile and create new one. 3- so many non parent profiles 4- not so many ppl on the app 5- it’s just another group match app. Too expensive for a low quality app..Version: 22.12.00
✓ Ehhhhh. Not for me.Not many people on this app in some locations. So some days when your picks come in it goes across states to bring you options. Which is fine for some but typically speaking if this is a parents based app and you have kids. You aren’t likely to relocate knowing there is a co-parent situation happening. If someone ends up in the daily “people for you” section and you say “no” they shouldn’t be able to keep liking your profile in return —and sending you multiple messages etc. The generic answers are annoying. “Here choose 4 answers that everyone will have on their profile.” “Netflix and snacking.” I guarantee 90% of people that have “life goal—retire early” is doing nothing to actually achieve that. It’s giving.. I’m not ready to put in the work. 🚩🚩 Pricey app. But understand that if you paying for it you really may be looking for someone. I respect the idea of this app but overall I don’t think I would login again until it’s has more traction. Fixed some bugs And delete the pre-loaded answers. We’re parents but that doesn’t mean we are lazy. Effort is attractive. Maybe lower the price for a while to get more people interested..Version: 23.08.00
✓ Bad subscription modelsAll of these dating sites have one thing in common. Your user base hates your subscription models. Dating sites are practically essential services now, and your global subscription base could be millions of users. Here’s the right model: 1) create a profile for free, see all profiles (no blurring) within 50 miles of your address, ability to select only gender & type of relationship sought, and ability to save favourites. That’s it. You can see how many people have saved your profile too. 2) $5/ , month to month, community access fee. Ability to communicate with anyone, visible likes, Ice breakers, whatever. 2–3 filters to hone in your quest. 3) $10/ month premium with advanced filters for people that want to be very precise, not wasting time. 4) option of 1 time lifetime subscription, $120 basic or $240 premium. With a million subscribers, you earn $5 million/ month, more than enough to maintain the platform and provide decent customer service..Version: 23.09.00
✓ Not single mama-friendlyI have 81 likes and 4 messages but I can’t see any profiles or any messages because I need a subscription at a ridiculous $38 a month or close to $100 for 6 months. I know it’s usually less pickings for men on dating sites or apps so this feature is really not women-friendly if we have to pay such exorbitant fees to just see messages. I tried Stir around 2 years ago and I just retried now and I’m leaving it for the same reason I left when I first tried. Women, just go to Hinge or Bumble. Cheaper, more choices of men and more affordable..Version: 23.05.00
✓ Not what I was expectingWhen I first got the app, it asked me questions like: “In my free time, you can find me...”, and “I’m looking for someone who…” and I carefully wrote out answers to them. But after I paid for the subscription, I could no longer find those original questions anywhere in the app... I was only able to write a "custom bio" and answer multiple-choice questions! This isn’t what I was led to believe I was getting. Also, there was also no way to narrow down any sort of statistics like height, political party, drinker, smoker, ANYTHING. After about an hour, I deleted my account. This is not what I expected at all. Currently trying to get a refund..Version: 22.14.00
✓ LameI’m thoroughly amazed and horribly disappointed to have paid for a complete lack of usable filters! The app only provides basic filters on gender and distance. I don’t want to waste my time looking at profiles that don’t meet my preferences of height, body type, religion, etc. This issue is compounded by the fact that the app, like every other these days, has adopted the annoying practice of showing profiles one by one forcing you to pass or like. Just show me a list of thumbnails *that match all my preferences of height, religion, etc* and let me view and like the ones I’m drawn too! It’s exhausting and frustrating to just sit here tapping pass pass pass pass pass !!!.Version: 22.04.00
✓ Paid for a subscription, can’t access who likes me.“Client care” can’t seem to figure it out..Version: 23.02.00
✓ Outrageous to pay that kind of moneyFor a single parents app it’s ridiculous to pay $30/week to chat and possibly find a match. We are single income parents raising children and there isn’t even a trial offer or a discounted rate for a week to try it. Such a shame that you pray on the weak and vulnerable demographic just to pad your pockets. I’ll stick to Facebook dating where it’s free..Version: 23.03.00
✓ Expensive in comparisonI though tinder was pricy! this one takes the cake. And if you put any of your other social media on your profile they will flag it. You can’t see matches unless you pay. Can send messages unless you pay. Pretty much you just have a profile for people to see you but that’s it unless you pay $40 a month or get a package deal. And be careful of the first few matches, they may or may not be bots trying to get you to pay. This happens with all these dating app that block your matches faces before you pay. Avoid unless you have the money to spend. Coming from a single dad. I rather spend my money on my kids and go to a bar and meet people the old fashion way.Version: 22.04.00
✓ Price doesn’t match the app qualityFirst of all, great idea. You can brows for free and even match and chat. For the other features you have to pay a hefty price for such a simple app. Day one already matched with some cool people and have been chatting it up, all good stuff there. The users seem real. What I don't like is again the price. Also why is there a daily limit on how many people you can see? That is the dumbest “feature ever” even paying the premium, it’s still there. On to of that, the app glitches and keeps showing me the same people over and over making it so that I see even less posible matches. It’s so frustrating. Lat thing that bugs me is that when you are looking at a profile, at the bottom it has similar matches. When you click those, you cant message or like them. So lame! Please fix the app! Also there is no real algorithm for matching other than age, location, and basic preferences. I would be happy to keep paying if all of these were fixed..Version: 22.08.01
