Upward: Christian Dating App

Do not purchase this app, randomly deletes your information/profile and all your messages. Then tells you to “log In” only to have you create a new profile.

The only reason I joined was because it’s a Christian platform. I do like that emphasis, which is why I gave a few stars. I am disappointed as it seems that the algorithm seems to be the same as non Christian sites. Of course you have to make money but to make it where you have to pay so much to get any matches is not right. I don’t like it when a dating site tries to make you addicted to the site and pay exorbitant amounts just to get feedback. I had hoped this site would be different.

I gave 2 stars because the app is easy to get started on, and navigate, though it is certainly NOT free as they advertise. Like most apps you can set up a profile but can’t do anything beyond that without paying. Sadly I think this marketing is resulting in a certain pool a men responding (low effort, poor communication skills). I appreciate that it’s geared toward Christians and it does have a lot of denominational choices, although there are some missing which would be helpful (IE: Assembly of God, Charismatic, Word of Faith). Sadly… you cannot filter results by this to find someone who is like faith… you can mere see on their profile what they self identified as, if they filled it out. The filtering options in general are almost nonexistent. A there are only 3 filter options allowed to be chosen when setting your preferences on your profile… although I don’t thing that actually does anything at all. I keeping seeing and getting notifications regardless of my preferences. I’d rather see fewer options in matches and see what I actually want, than everyone unfiltered for the sake of number of matches. Especially since conducting a search using filters basically is completely unfiltered so you could see every one on the app anyway. There are only TWO filters when search profiles… age and distance… and would you believe, these don’t even save. So every time you open the app, you have to reset it, and wade through all the undesired profiles that should have already been filtered out by initial match preferences. Lastly, since it’s all basically unfiltered and you’re going to have to waste your time sorting through everyone, it’s extremely frustrating to have the “deck of cards” style home page which forces to to make a yes or no decision on year and every person. There’s so ability to scan or scroll to see who catches your eye and again these are unfiltered and means it’s time consuming. If you ask me, which you did, the web developers can more about inflating statistics of the time people are on the app and number of matches then actually respecting the time and preferences of the users paying for the service. Things which would make this app better are give us the option of ALL filter options all the time and offer more filer options than there are and make able to be saved, in our profile and when doing searches. Also, if we said no to someone that person should not continued to be counted in our matches, like etc. We are trying to weed it out and not see the same ones we already dismissed again. Especially if it’s deck of cards styles, we should be able to flip through without making decisions about each one, or chance it to a scrolling style or grid style. Nobody walking into a room and walks up to one person at a time. We scan the room, make a lap and select a few. Make this more natural, or at least offer an option for “maybe/ undecided/not right now”. I’m not satisfied with the app and wish I had not paid for an annual membership without a trial first (neither trial or refund appear to be an option). Lastly, there are also no real notification options. You get them or you don’t but you can’t really filter those either.

You can’t see your likes unless you pay for plan. I wish they had it where you could see something or give a free trial before having to select one. It said I had 99+ likes which I think that wasn’t true. I think they use that to get people to sign up for a plan. I just deleted my account because it’s useless.

10/10 recommend

So I really like the idea of this app, where you can see the denominations that people are from. But in its free form the app is almost unusable. You can’t see who liked you, and if the people you liked also don’t have the elite subscription, I don’t see how you would be able to match. And since there are other apps where you can see who liked you in the basic format of the app I probably won’t be spending money on this app.

I’ve never seen so many gay people in my life 😂😂😂 The fact that its a religious app but its filled with nothing but gay people is insane to me .

I thought they it should have Christian values but they are not honest and really horrible customer service,after subscribing they asked for more money to see messages and when I asked for cancellation and refund they refused and took weeks to delete my account. Not recommended at all

I purchased a subscription and they still charge $10 to message someone 3 times. This is misleading. Who can afford to pay $3 every time you message.

I can truly say I met my husband on this app! The app changes your mileage based on where you are currently at. NOT where you usually live. So I reached out to and fell in love almost immediately with a man who was in town for work. He actually lived 360 miles away! Thankfully God was at work and moving the pieces of our lives together that would lead to us getting married and him moving to my town. Will forever be grateful for this app!! ♥️
