Upward Dating: Meet Singles
gamed ratingPositioned as a Christian dating app but owned by Match Group and behaves like a typical monetization aggregator. Denomination and distance filters do not work. Fake accounts actively message users immediately after sign-up, creating the illusion of interest. Real believing users are few, and they complain about the absence of compatible people. A few marriages have occurred, but these are the exception.
Store rating 4.35 with 72% five-star ratings vs textAvg 1.78, an extreme gap. Positive reviews almost exclusively describe one event (a wedding or meeting a partner) and are written in a templated way. A telling marker: one text literally begins 'Dear Support Team', a service template that ended up as a review. Several reviews directly point to fake likes immediately after sign-up ('100 likes in 5 minutes').
What users love
- The niche at least filters out people with fundamentally different values. A few users genuinely found partners and started families.
What users hate
- Bots message immediately after sign-up. Distance and faith filters are not respected. Accounts get blocked without explanation. Some real male users show toxic behavior.
Who it is for
Believers looking for a partner with shared values, but prepared for disappointment and careful about fakes. Not suitable for those expecting working filters.
