Taimi is the most predatory dating app…
Taimi is the most predatory dating app out of about 10 I've used. Every single aspect of the app is meant to extort you for money. Basic functions require premium. First, you have a tiny tiny amount of swipes per day unless you $, and 20% of profiles are locked by Taimi behind a paywall as "diamond dates" which are probably just profiles that get lots of hits that they are monetizing that person's profile without the person's say so. You can't swipe on these without $, even though it shows them to you and it makes up about 1 in 5 of your swipes. You get about 6 notifications daily trying to fool you into thinking you have a like: Your notification will say "Sandra checked out your profile", or "Jess is waiting to talk to you", but it's just a random profile that probably actually passed on your profile. There's a discovery page that is 5 categories... All but one of them are behind paywall, including the "Curated for you" channel. There IS a "Boosted" channel that is "free" for you to look at, however, these profiles have no relevance to you and include random people from all over the country. So literally there is nothing useful on the whole discover page. What's WORSE is that I think these people PAY to be boosted, which is just as useless to them because all the hits they get will be from half the country away. They also constantly change how basic features else, trying to find new ways to scam your money. Last week they stopped letting you see ANY information on profiles...as in, you can see the person's pictures but you couldn't see their age, preferences, or their profile section. This wasn't a glitch. Per their customer support, it was an actual "test"(presumably to see how much people would complain if they make this permanent as another paywall!). The only reason I keep checking the app is because lots of alt people use it and you might somehow match with someone cool, despite the app actively being the worst possible experience. That's not even going into how it ignores your preferences (I routinely am shown lesbian profiles who clearly didn't select men as a preference, etc). Oh yeah! The NEWEST scam is that when you run out of profiles to view it now automatically CHANGES your distance and age filter to show more people without you agreeing. So you have to constantly change them back, over and over.
Response from TAIMI LGBTQ Dating AppNov 14, 2025
Hi, James! Thank you so much for your honest review of the Taimi app. 🌷 It's quite unfortunate you were left with such a negative impression of our platform. We will use your feedback to improve the service we provide in the future. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few points: - Your daily action limit resets every day, and no actions are required to interact with mutual likes. - "Curated for you" profiles rotate twice per week, and become available as regular profiles on Discovery once they leave the rotation. - The notifications you're referring to seem to be from profile visitors ("admirers"). You can disable them via the app's Settings. - The page you described is called "Trending Now," and consists of special profile selections for premium members. These profiles will still be available in your Discovery queue, and except for "Curated for you" profiles, can be interacted with for free. - Profile boosts are indeed available for an extra cost, and act upon the preference filters of whoever activates them, including distance. - The test we ran briefly, which excluded profile information until the match, had no established link with our premium features. It has already been closed, and we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. - The Discovery algorithm works according to gender preference, not sexuality. If you came across someone's profile despite not being compatible with their sexuality, this most likely means their search preferences were incorrectly configured. All of that being said, your comments were interesting to analyze and could definitely be useful in understanding how to improve the usability and user-friendliness of the app. We appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts. 💙 Ultimately, it's immensely positive for you to recognize potential and the ability to achieve interesting results on Taimi. Hopefully, future iterations of the app will better align with your expectations! If there's anything else you'd like to discuss - including your thoughts on our latest test concerning the automatic expansion of search filters on Discovery - feel free to contact us at [email protected]. We're available 24/7. 😊
