I live in a really big city. If this app worked at all, I would be getting a constant flow of new ladies showing up all the time. I have gotten zero matches where I live. In San Francisco, I matched with some old lady. Had to decline. It's bizarre that you to force us into not being able to at least setting our age preferences. I'm 44. That lady was 78.

As others have said there's just not enough people on the app and there's a lot of fake profiles. I live in Seattle and also spent a week up in Vancouver and came across one other person on the map. This subscription is currently absolutely not worth the money. hppn's response to this review suggesting I visit more areas and keep location settings enabled is laughable. I have been all over Seattle and Vancouver with location enabled. This recommendation hppn trying to blame anything else.

Look at all the other 1 star reviews... Here's another. Set my search criteria to basically everyone. No users in or around the huge city I live near. Obviously fake profiles are suggested. It's been like this every time I've installed it. I've done this near many large cities with a very large age range, even while driving 2500 miles across the USA! I see people "adding me" and they never appear in any of the queues. They're clearly gaming users for subscriptions. Don't waste your time.

Hello, We want to clarify that happn does not manipulate the number of users you cross paths with or the Likes you receive. The app works based on your GPS and only shows profiles of people you've actually crossed paths with. If you're experiencing issues, please contact us at support@happn.com, and we'll look into your account and assist you.
