Nine things daters want

You asked and we listened

Nine complaints daters make about dating apps, again and again. Twundle was built to answer every one.

Each complaint, and Twundle’s answer

  1. “I can’t tell who’s real and who’s a scammer.”

    52% of online daters think they have met a scammer. Pew, 2023

    Everyone is verified before they can message

    A code to your phone, and your main photo checked against a live selfie.

  2. “I have to pay just to see who liked me.”

    31% of bad reviews are about features behind a paywall. Unstar, 2026

    The basics are free

    See who liked you, message your matches, and use every safety tool, without paying.

  3. “I get no likes and no idea why. Am I even being shown?”

    64% of men felt insecure about how few messages they got. Pew, 2023

    Nobody is hidden for not paying

    Every verified, active member is shown to people every day, and you can see how your profile is doing.

  4. “I got explicit photos I never asked for.”

    56% of women under 50 have been sent explicit images they did not ask for. Pew, 2023

    Photos only when you both say yes

    And a free date check-in that texts a friend if you don’t tap “I’m home”.

  5. “They looked nothing like their photos, and there’s nowhere to say so.”

    62% want a way to give feedback after a date. DatingNews, via GDI

    Tell us privately how it went

    Three private questions after a meet. No public reviews; our moderators act on patterns.

  6. “We talk for weeks and never actually meet.”

    56% have deleted an app after a “talking stage” that went nowhere. Vendor survey, via GDI

    Plan the date right in the chat

    Pick a time and place together, with one free call first to see they’re real.Call: after launch

  7. “Cancelling was a maze, and I got charged again anyway.”

    18% of safety complaints are about billing and cancelling. Unstar, 2026

    Cancel in one screen

    A reminder a week before every renewal, a full refund if you cancel within 48 hours, and one price for everyone.

  8. “I can’t tell who wants something serious.”

    71% of daters want a meaningful relationship. OkCupid, via GDI

    Free, strict dealbreakers

    Everyone says what they’re looking for, and you filter on kids, faith, politics, smoking and drinking for free.

  9. “I’m worn out from swiping.”

    78% of app users feel drained at least some of the time. Forbes Health, via GDI

    Three people chosen for you each evening

    Twundle Picks: people who fit you, and whom you fit, each with the reason why.

The complaints are in daters’ own words, paraphrased from app reviews and surveys.
