I’ve been on this site for two years and while I like perspective ladies that I could see a future with or just get to know, I either get blocked for sending the first message or they do not like me back. Two years of no likes and even modifying my profile on a monthly basis doesn’t seem to fit in the mold of a match. Should be called CatholicMatchLess. Why should I even pay for a subscription when no lady ever likes me back or anything? It would just do us men a favor that if they do not want to hear from us to just block us. No feelings hurt and I’m not going to cry over a girl who may or may not be real to message me or like me. My subscription ends today and don’t count of me ever buying a subscription again.

The layout is simple and easy to navigate. My concerns 1. The app is $30 a month to even send a message. Tinder, plenty of fish etc allow simple messaging and if you are looking for something specific there is a option to upgrade to premium 2. Some of these profiles look either fake or they haven’t logged in for a while. 3. The monthly subscription is a bit much with so much uncertainty

I would not recommend anyone to use this app. It’s so difficult to find someone,you just received an email that someone has viewed your profile but when you check who has viewed your profile, it’s blurry as they want you to pay to view the profiles that has viewed you. I really regret purchasing and sending multiple accounts to see who will reply but none care about your message

I learned that the “take a break” option currently does nothing for users who have already viewed your profile, it only keeps you from showing up in new searches. There should at LEAST be a tag on your profile that says you’re on a break, or some other way to indicate to these other users that your status is temporarily inactive. As a female in a large city, I also found the amount of activity to be a bit overwhelming at times (particularly in the first week or so, which I assume is due to the “New Users” feed). If there was a way to hide your profile from new searches but still chat with people who have already viewed/messaged you, that’d be great

unless you plan on fixing this @catholicmatch don’t reply, but my app is CONSTANTLY frozen or crashes completely. some days it’s smooth but most days, i can hardly use the thing.

The app is okay for the most part. It would be nice if you could see someone’s activity. Has this person been online in days, weeks, months? You don’t know. The online dating culture is much the same here as other sites for young adults. People send likes, but then don’t respond to messages or do you respond but ghost you. There aren’t many young adults on it either. A lot of the same profiles still on when I got the app 9 months ago. In 9 months I went on 2 dates with one person. I think the biggest thing holding this app back is the very limited amount of young adults that are nearby. If you’re not interested in long distance maybe this app isn’t for you. Haven’t really talked to many people either because of the culture on here. You would think there would be a bit more charity and humility on a Catholic site which isn’t really CatholicMatches fault.

I don’t like that you have to pay a subscription to know who likes you or to talk to someone who you also like…why should dating have to cost to find love I think that’s unacceptable.

When looking at an app you have to compare it to competitors. In this case, Catholic Match is well below the likes of Hinge, Bumble, Tinder, and others. If you use the free version you can’t see who likes you, you have to wait nine days to see messages, and finding matches is almost non-existent. All the other apps’ free versions are much more robust, only Catholic Match is so restrictive.

It’s great that this app exists to filter for Catholics. It’s also nice that when you’re searching for people on the app, you can have the comfort knowing most if not all value religion/faith. However the chatting feature is insane. Chatting to a person should be a basic feature even with a non-premium account. The app makes you wait 9 days before being able to see a message… You can pay to “see” the message right away, but that’s crazy. Again, chatting should be a basic feature 😭. I get the app needs to make money somehow, but maybe consider ads. Also for a “premium” account, maybe set certain preferences as premium preferences, have a “see all likes” feature, have a “see all messages” feature, allow unlimited messages sent per day, etc. For a basic account, allow the option of at least viewing 5 messages per day lol. Really curious about the reasoning behind the decision to make it this way.

Do you think a language option could be added to sort by languages or to clarify languages spoken?
