Hickey AppReviews of hickeyapp.com

If I could give zero stars, I would. This app is a scam. I paid $60 for premium, which I still have two months left on, but it never gave me premium access. Multiple attempts to contact support went unanswered. I ended up dumping another $200 in tokens or whatever before my drunk a$$ woke up. When 10+ perfect 10s all hit you up with the exact same opening greeting, I'm on other dating apps where the ratio of perfect 10s to 4s is about 10% to 70%. 70% 4s. Somehow, there isn't a single female with any defects in my city, just an endless supply of 10s. The worst part is when you run out of chatting tokens. If you decline purchasing more, they get hostile and verbally abusive. This scam needs to be shut down.

Hickey is a dating and hookup app designed around artificial time limits. It operates similarly to Tinder where users swipe on other users' profiles. A swipe right indicates a "Like" and a swipe left indicates a rejection or "Pass". If two users both Like each other's profile, they "Match" and can begin a private chat with one another. Hickey's platform is unique from Tinder and other dating apps in that it has an arbitrary time limit on chats. The advertised reason for this is to encourage users to be more forward with romantic or sexual intent. The time limit seems to be invisible and seemingly arbitratry. When the time limit is over the chat expires and the matched users are unable to communicate. Users can spend money on Hickey's premium subscriptions to renew an expired chat or to "save" an ongoing chat to prevent expiration. Users can also spend money to unlock "fun moments" (AKA: lewd images) from other users. Hickey uses undisclosed fraudulent accounts to inflate users' Likes and Matches. When users match with these fraudulent accounts, these accounts employ tactics to encourage users to pay for premium services. Tactics include sending "fun moments" and asking users to unlock them. Asking users to save the chat. And sending "can we talk now" or eerily similar messages after chats have expired regardless of chat content. 10 of the total 15 matches I received - all in just the first three days - had photos that linked directly back to random onlyfans and instagram models and other sexworkers. And at least two of the remaining five exhibited the same, suspect behavior as I detailed before. The chat expiration timer seems arbitrarily deployed to coax users into making a purchase. Some more active chats expire within 30 mins, even when users are actively writing messages. Other chats I have active have not expired even after almost 24 hours. The "timer" is invisible and nowhere on the app are its mechanics explained.

This app is blatantly unethical. It preys on vulnerable people, exploiting their loneliness for profit. Every aspect of its design seems calculated to manipulate users, triggering their deepest insecurities and fears of abandonment. It's particularly predatory towards men, using suggestive language and imagery to lure them in with false promises. This deceptive marketing, especially on their blog, is a new low in false advertising. I sincerely hope Nextouch Inc. faces a class-action lawsuit, just like Ashley Madison, for their exploitative practices.

complete scam.....soon as you join you get more action than hugh at his prime until you don't have money to pay for photos or even to keep chatting. ...even if you pay for a memebership you still have to keep paying for every little thing....too good to be true is in effect

This app is absolutely fake. There are bots on here. Guys. Do not use this app. They will claim they try to make sure their are only real people but its a lie

Scam. Bots and bull.

This website is fake. The site changed all of the female to show as my city and not 1 of ,18 were in my city. The females are being paid by the company for each picture sent and paid for to open by the male. this complete defeats the purpose of the site. Makes profits for them nothing for male

The app keeps deleting my bio even tho there isn't anything offensive. If you try to put contact info in your bio they just delete it to try and force you to pay for the app.
