About this app
The best dating app to let you really be you and choose how you want to date online.
Forget the days of awkward online dating and become a POF member, where you can come exactly as you are. We’re here to help you create the same magic online that you would IRL.
We know online dating isn’t one-size-fits-all, so we let you choose your own adventure and connect with other singles in a way that feels right for you. Whether you’re new to dating or just seeking a fresh start, we’ve got lots of options to make finding your person actually fun.
What you can do on POF is what makes us different: - Selfie Verification so you can see who’s really behind the profile - Search for exactly what you want - Restrict your first message count so you don't get 1 and 2 word intros - Come as you are and find other real, down-to-earth people like you
Just click that install button to get started!…

Independent evidence report
Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.
Which version this describes
When we ran this analysis, and what the store lists now.
App Store
This analysis describes version 29.10 of the app, analyzed 2026-10-04 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 29.10, updated 2026-08-18.
Google Play
This analysis describes version 5.69.1.1516749 of the app (the version number recorded inside the package we inspected), analyzed 2026-10-06 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 5.69.1.1516749, updated 2026-09-29.
What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.
Developer replies to reviews
Replies to fewer than 1 review in 20
Price in the store description
States no price and billing period
Cancelling, in the store description
Does not say how to cancel
Themes reported by reviewers
1 theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
Under 65% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
From the package we downloaded and read — version 5.69.1.1516749, scanned 2026-10-04.
Permissions Android classifies as dangerous
3–5 requested
Counted against the eighteen permissions listed in collect-package.ts. A dangerous permission is one Android asks the user to grant; requesting one is not itself a finding.
Analytics or tracking SDKs in the scanned package
1–2 found
Advertising SDKs in the scanned package
1–2 found
Counted as distinct SDKs in the package we scanned. One mediation bundle can contribute several, so this is not a count of advertisers.
Graded bands · predicate set 1.4 · how these are measured
What the analysis found
App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.
Positive evidence 1
Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.
Developer says data deletion can be requested
The developer's data-safety disclosure on the store states that users can request deletion of their data, or the app's own text offers a way to delete the account. This restates what the developer declares; it is not a test of whether deletion works. Apple publishes no equivalent disclosure, so on an Apple-only listing only the app's own text can support it.
What we saw: The developer's store data-safety disclosure states that data deletion can be requested; we have not seen a deletion control in the app's own text
One source only — shown, not confirmed 2
A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.
Reported by users: Paywall blocks the basics
The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.
What we saw: Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 14 distinct reviewers (2.0% of 707 reviews scanned)
In the app's own text: Countdown-timer purchase pressure
The app's own purchase copy attaches a deadline to buying — a countdown, 'offer ends in', 'limited time' — or ships a countdown view on a purchase-screen layout.
What we saw: Deadline pressure in the app's own copy: "Last chance to upgrade before this offer disappears!"
Highlighted reviews
Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“Don't let the positive reviews fool you. This app is full of bots and fake profiles. Not many settings to tweek to find your matches and everything is behind a paywall. Had the app for over 3 months with no success. For every 10 matches I…”
“crappie used to be free now it charges crazy price to probably not even meet anyone worth it.”
