CatholicMatch Dating App

This app is a joke. It’s incredibly glitchy, you can’t use certain photos because they don’t meet there “rules.” I guess I’m not allowed to post myself swimming at the beach because I’m shirtless with swim trunks, oh no! Not only that but they charge $30 a month to be able to like more than 3 profiles, which is insane because that’s more expensive than hinge. Don’t waste your time downloading this. Just use another Christian app and filter for Catholics.

… but you can pay money to read a message sooner! That’s all you need to know about this garbage app.

Recently ran into an issue where if someone has messaged you the app blocks you from messaging them back or even liking their profile to try to force you to upgrade to premium. So I have a connection where both of us know who the other is and have tried to express interest, but the app won't let you connect. The whole point of the app is impossible without premium.

Don't waste your time. In metro Phoenix and there are almost no women signing up. I tried it for a few years, gave it a fair shot. Worse, their updated rules for communication are terrible. I contacted them personally to express my opinions and got boiler plate responses. They don't care. It should be free. What a worthless app.

It pains me to write this review but it is deserved. After being a member of the site for about 7 months, they changed their photo guidelines quite extensively, followed by actively cropping and deleting members’ photos which individual reviewers or AI haphazardly decided do not meet these new ‘guidelines’. And really, I had no problems with their new guidelines because all of my photos were in compliance, or so I thought. That was until someone decided that there were additional rules not stated anywhere on the website which included two photos of mine wearing different v-neck tops suddenly considered too“low cut” because my sternum bone (gasp!) is visible. Yes! Showing certain bones is too revealing, apparently but I’m going to guess if a man wore a v-neck showing his sternum, his photo would not be secretly deleted as mine were. When I asked about this and pointed out that “low cut” tops (although this term is extremely relative and also not defined by them) are not even stated as ‘not allowed’ in the new guidelines yet they use it as the reason they’re deleting my profile photos and not even notifying me. This is unfairly targeting women and as a modest woman, I also find it offensive. Leadership at CM is needs to clearly define their terms and conditions if they’re going to avoid a lawsuit in the future.

The app makes it legitimately difficult to see or communicate with even people that like you or want to talk with you. If your not going to pay for the premium it’s mostly just a tease unfortunately for Catholics
