The overly frequent pop-up that wants me to click 'always allow' for location is enough to make me not want to use the app. It comes up more than once per minute. Really annoying. I'm on Android if the developers are looking. Also in assuming that Crush Time still matches you with the person you've guessed likes you, whether you're interested in them or not. I won't play it for that reason.

Basically, I had a year's subscription and my membership functionality kept dissapearing. When I contacted support they had to refer me to a 'special' team to reinstall my features. That normally took around 2 weeks. So after paying for a year, I've had less than 10 months use. I've contacted support and haven't heard anything. I would save your money and look elsewhere. Even after playing with the settings it matches me with people over 30 miles away and the customer service is useless.

Hello Chris, Sorry for the inconvenience. Has Customer Service got back to you yet? Please send an email to this address if you haven’t done so already: support@happn.com. They will find a way to make up for this issue. Yours truly, Bruno, happn.

Absolute con! Joined a couple of weeks ago on the free to use version. Got 12 hidden likes within 24 hours. Thought what the hell I'll buy a month to try it. 2 weeks later, I've hardly had anything! I'm no Brad Pitt granted, but how come the likes dropped off immediately after paying? They don't show your profile to anyone. Don't fall for it! Plus their response below is completely irrelevant!? My point is your profile only gets shown to others when they want you to subscribe. Nothing after!!

Hey Lee, sorry you didn’t have a satisfactory experience. Please note that the hidden Likes notification is a recap of everything that happened with your account during that day -it can pop up after you’ve already interacted with those profiles. So rest assured, this is no con and your profile gets shown at all times! Yours truly, Bruno, happn.
