Hily Dating app: Meet & Date

Another predatory company. The pointless notifications are obnoxious. They intentionally made the X on ads small so you would accidentally click the ad. When you delete your account, they lightly colored the "Proceed" button so you might just deactivate your account instead. And THEY DO NOT NOTIFY YOU before your free trial expires as promised. Now I've paid for something I didn't want. I'll check for a refund but this is just a toxic and scummy app.

I'm a guy, and saw that 2 people had messaged me. In order for me to be able to view and reply, I have to either match with them, or pay for premium. I spent 3 days looking through and matching with people, and never saw the ones that had matched and messaged me. I know, because when you decline someone who has matched you, it removes their notification. They want the premium $$, I'm not interested because I'm fairly sure that the matches are not generated in order to intice me to upgrade.

What a waste. The interface and some of the options for profile customization are actually pretty good. But it's one of the most blatant money grab dating apps of the several dating apps I've tried. Even if you pay for a membership they will still charge you to see who liked you if it's more than two a day. And if you use one of your profile boosts you will always get likes from 1-3 obviously fake unverified profiles. Would not recommend.

Built a full profile (photos, verified, detailed bio). Matches were slow, so I tried a paid boost—got more matches, but same result. ~14 matches, I sent personalized openers to all, almost no replies. Feels like the app pushes paid features more than real connections. Just enough activity to keep you swiping, not enough to go anywhere. Verdict: Low engagement, not worth it.

I tried the premium+ subscription for to a $2.99 offer. the "daily benefits" are only "up to" that many given, ie get 10 crushes today, use 2, and tomorrow it'll only give you 2 more not the full 10. also when your subscription ends they take away any you have leftover. Worse though is even if you pay you can only see 2 of your likes or views per day, it's the only dating app I've seen that is so greedy that even paying doesn't give full access.
