Genie Connections

I have used the app , and I can who heartedly say that they are definately trying to break the tiring process of online dating. There is definitive though gone around the app. Had read the negative feedback before writing this , but a lot of this has either been fixed plus a lot who wants things very standard way. The app does face an uphill task because it is trying to introduce something new and users will need a learning curve. Users who want a quick and dirty standard app may not like this unless they are willing to 'pickup the app'. The video explainers introduced does really help going forward. Overall the app is really trying to do some great things to solve dating app issues and I love the bluetooth feature which is totally unique to this app .

This app is the worst. It sends a pop up every 20 seconds to remind you how the app works like you are an idiot that’s never used a dating app & your brain doesn’t function properly to remember how to swipe left or right. No one is on it, so If you see someone attractive on the street, you’ll still never see them again for the rest of your life. And the double profile swipe feature is overwhelming and unnecessary. You’re better off staying single and watching Netflix alone than downloading this app.

Can delete yourself or delete your pictures

Downloaded Genie a few months ago, but after creating a profile, I never used it because they want money. Had a new battery installed around the same time. The new battery has always been draining to zero within a few hours, even though the cycle count today is still 100%. I presumed it was a duff battery, but I’ve been too busy to look into it. A few days ago, I finally went online, and was advised to go: Settings —> Battery —> Scroll down to see which apps are using power. I’m addicted to Facebook. In the last ten days, Facebook in the background = 26 hours. Genie in the background in the same ten days, even though I never use it = 156 hours!!! I deleted Genie instantly. Battery now running normally. The difference is day and night. If your battery is always draining fast, delete this piece of crap from your phone. Deserves zero stars. The worst coding build I’ve ever experienced. Will be reporting to Apple, and asking them to remove it from the App Store. Goodbye Genie. I hope I never meet your atrociously bad coding ever again

I’m a gay man, but all I’m being shown is straight men. Pointless using if your gay.

It’s an interesting couple of ideas at work here, however requiring your location to always be active is not only a massive drain on battery life but also smacks of location tracking/data gathering. In addition there’s just a general lack of quality on this app. Sentences are written poorly and aren’t proofread. One instance was reading “thier” instead of “their” in a great big button on one of the main feature screens.

This app is not as ‘good’ as it is advertised. In the UK, it’s barely used. I don’t know why there are so many fake reviews on this app but it’s just another oversold, overly described waste of time.

Downloaded as I saw an ad but I’m not paying to use the site.

You force users to determine their ethnicity but only give a handful of options - particularly only Black or Asian mixed ethnicity options, you don’t even have an other category (which I hate but at least it’s inclusive). Therefore I can’t choose and by not choosing you give me a warning as if I’m trying to hide my ethnicity from other users and I will be penalised in some way for changing it. It’s disgusting and completely unacceptable. Either give options or let people choose not to declare it without some kind of penalty.

It takes too long to set up and you have to meet certain requirements in how much you put about yourself
