happn: Dating, Chat & Meet 17+

Updates

Been using the app for a number of years now without subscribing as I wasn’t getting any dates out of it, but at least it was reasonably enjoyable to use. The latest updates have made it difficult to navigate, have meant parts that previously worked without subscription no longer do as I am no longer able to like profiles and conversations I was having are frequently shaded out. About ready to delete both my profile and the app as it is now pants and would not be worth the money to subscribe!

Developer Response ,

Hello! 

Thank you for your comment. As you have already seen, we made some updates to our app and some of our functionalities have been temporarily deactivated. We are sorry that the new update isn't matching your expectations and we understand your frustration. We will make sure to share this with our developers. However, most of the disabled features will come back in the future with a new style. Also, happn is a free application. Only some Premium features are paid for. You can still use the free version of the app, have a Crush and chat for free. If you have any other issues/questions, please contact us at support@happn.com.

Wha l-Happn???

I've given this App 4 stars instead of 5, simply because of its Technical issues from what I've read , also from what I've experienced. As an App it's quite a unique one in its approach as there is nothing really similar out there, and it's great fun to check up while you're out and about to see who's popped up on your phone during your day to day travels. On NYE while I was out the app popped up 40 women in the space of 15 mins!😳 I find it more fun than serial swiping through ‘Troublesome Tinder’ and it is more real-time based. I think it's an App we've all thought about but never expected to see. If the technical aspects of the app are tweaked then I'm sure it will make the app more appealing. Overall I like it!😁

* Update 2023* have noticed since re-downloading the new Happn it’s not as active on seeking other Happn-ers like it used to be so I’m finding it a little hard to justify the apps pricing unless there is a new data protection law I don’t know about.
Then it kind of defeats the whole purpose of the app then doesn’t it ??? 🤷🏽‍♂️

A good idea ruined for greediness!

Update 31 March 2018: when I thought things couldn’t get worst, now you have a full faced pic again and again of the same people you have liked months ago. I really can’t understand why happn keep complicating this app, it’s imposible to find new people even in a city like London! Or probably it’s because everyone is migrating to other more user friendly apps.

——————————

Bring back the "already charmed" option please!
Or we run the risk of looks like a pest charming the same person twice!
Also when someone tag you as "not interested" they should disappear of your list and not just shown as "Active a few weeks ago"

Update: this app is getting worse and worse.
I used to spend a good amount of money buying ‘charms’ so I can use them when needed. The new subscriptions model is rubbish! £20 per month??? And just 5 Hi per day? I don’t use this app everyday because I know in my area there not enough people and already skipped or liked all of them, but I go to London a few times per week when I have the opportunity to meet new people and match with them, so I use it more often and I can easily use more than 5 Hi in those days.
Now the app is full of invasive banners too.
Also now it give you fake notifications to make you open the app to play a stupid crush game I’m not interested at all!
In conclusion an App designed to rip you off in every possible way!
Greedy developers ruining a good idea and what used to be a good app!
