Zoosk

I canceled my subscription to Zoosk one day short of two weeks from when my paid subscription ends. When I canceled, they stated that my paid subscription ended that day before the one day shy of two weeks

I was a member of Match as well and they responded by offering a discount and not ending my paid subscription when I decided not to stay a member after my paid subscription was over. Match.com did not stop my paid subscription, which is the required legal response.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

They make you pay a minimum $20/ month...and for what?! You have people blowing up your phone from 200+ miles away.

The advanced search doesn't apply to people that try to contact you. I wasted more time weeding out everyone who lived 2 hours away, then actually finding even one potential prospect!

What a scam, definitely not even worth $1.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This site is a rip-off. They encourage you to join and then ask for further payment for 'coins'. You receive messages from Zoosk stating this person wants to meet you but you must pay in 'coins' to find out who! Unbelievable and I do not know how the authorities have allowed Zoosk to get away with it.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was a bit disappointed. This is just not at all like the ads portray it to be.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Zoosk asks you for the maximum distance you want your matches to be within, but then COMPLETELY ignores what you tell them. I specified for my searches that I wanted 100 miles or less. In one of my search sessions, I went through 95 consecutive "matches" and 84% of them were more than 100 miles away. This means you will waste 84% of your time on this site looking through profiles of no value to you.

There are other issues too. Like there's no way to go back and find someone you've found in a search unless they've sent you something, they've viewed your profile, or you've sent them a message of some kind.

It is the worst-designed dating website I've ever tried to use. I have no idea how they get all the high ratings they supposedly have. Those websites giving those ratings are probably either owned by Zoosk or they're doing reviews without actually trying them out.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

DO NOT USE THIS SITE. It's a SCAM. You won't find anyone that you can hold an intelligent conversation with. They're complete IDIOTS. Those profiles don't belong to the idiots you'll end up talking to. Sad! I would absolutely NOT recommend this site to anyone but, the government, to be shut down!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

After two weeks of "winking" and messaging, and even sending messages asking the supposed recipients to indicate if they had received the message I sent, not a dicky bird.

I am no Brad Pitt, but I have never had a problem with my looks and ability to attract the opposite sex. But two weeks on Zoosk and you would be forgiven for thinking I was the ugliest bloke on the planet, so I decided to test the system and what I found was for my £25, I have been talking and "winking" at myself for two weeks and to add insult to injury, Zoosk even limits me to how many times I can wink and talk to myself in any one day.

My experience and advice steer well clear. It's a racket. You pay your subscription, and you set off with a spring in your step and a sting in their tail. I am offered a BOOST membership, I am offered tokens to see if my messages have been read, and of course, it's all extra.

Mega scam!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I send messages and request after request and got no reply. It's like I never sent anything. No satisfaction.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I got sucked in with numerous chat requests at first when I was doing the free stuff. A week later, dying of curiosity, I paid for a month of subscription. I did not realize that it is a recurring fee, so I will have to watch that when I cancel. Every little thing extra you may want to do seems to cost more money. I found very few local people, and most of the ones I did find were accounts hacked and changed by the original poster's angry significant other. Other local profiles appear to be total zombie accounts as the people are never online and do not respond to messages.

One person I recognized immediately and knew to be in a committed relationship. This person thought they had deleted their account two years prior. Many profiles have references to years which indicate the profile is many, many years old. Saw many profiles that interested me only to not be able to find them again just hours later. Total waste of money in my opinion. A reputable site would weed out the inactive accounts and indicate if someone is or is not able to use messaging.

I would never recommend this site.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I search curiously, after seeing it over and over on my Facebook page.

Then I see the one and the only way to talk to him is to be a member. So I finally do so, and he does not show up on my search. He is supposed to be this age and this many miles from my house. He showed up every time when it was free. Why? Fraud?

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I've been on Zoosk for two weeks and am unsubscribing, deleting my profile (or trying to anyway), and asking them for a refund (haven't heard back, not too optimistic from all the other comments). The other comments about "fake" profile views are absolutely true.

Today I noticed that my profile had been viewed by a lady that I had viewed and was interested in. On a hunch, I messaged her and asked if she had viewed me at a such-and-such time today. She wrote back and said that she had never looked at my profile before. So essentially, Zoosk is lying to me when they tell me someone has viewed me. If this is a lie, what else is? Trust is gone, period. This is my first foray into online dating and may be my last.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
