User Reviews for BlackGentry: Black Dating App

Ehhh. I’ll update if I see changes

This didn’t make me wanna focus too much in this app. The filtering system is terrible and doesn’t even filter what it offers. I should be able to filter out height, smokers, children, and other things. It’s literally just location distance and age. Both of which are poor because as far as distance it only stops at 20 miles, nothing closer than that, and I still get women like 27 miles away so what’s the point of even picking 20 as the distance if it’s just gonna be ignored? As far as age I get women older than the age range I chose. I stoped mine at 38, why am I still getting women who are 43, again what’s the point of setting parameters that the app won’t even acknowledge.That stuff should be changed asap for a more user friendly experience

Disappointed

I joined this app because of how it was advertised to meet black single men. Men who were professional and ambitious etc. It was the complete opposite. I mean polar opposite. The men on this app lie about their ages and then don't fill out their profiles. At the very least the algorithm should block them from showing yaa option until they fill out the profile section correctly. That would make it more professional. Asking for state IDs would eliminate the lying about your age. THEN. This app had the nerve to ask me for 20$ so I can see who liked me, how bogus is that? Whatever, I invest my 20$. For what, I don't know! The app won't even show your profile, even when you have paid to be on this app with their lack of background checks. The app claims it's for serious connections. That is not true.

Yeah a Hard Nope

So this app is not giving what is advertised. I put what age range, 35 to 45, and nothing but males in their 20s on my page. My DMs are just a bunch of crazy messages, and people who look like they have gout, and hypertension in their 20s. How sway? I even paid for the upgrade, and it feels like I upgraded to more nonsense. Can someone please tell me where is the University of “hard knocks” or “getting this paper” Like, come on, really!!! I wanted to support them, but no one in this app wants to have a serious conversation or put quality into their page. Also, can we talk about how it takes forever to load and will just shut down on you? I think the app needs more fine-tuning and allowing people to filter what they are looking for. When reading the reviews, the developer is clapping back at people who are having the same issue we are all having instead of trying to fix the kinks in this app

I really wanted to love it

I really wanted to love this app, but there are some MAJOR glitches that need to be addressed. I tried using the free features first and got no matches for the first couple of days. So I decided to pay for a month, one, in support of this black dating platform, and two, to see if I would get a different result. However, as soon as I paid for the first month, the app started to randomly crash and wouldn’t even bring up my profile photos. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, only to find out that there’s not even a way to log back in to my same profile. I was prompted to start a whole new one. Needless to say I am not happy at all and I feel like I wasted my money. App developers, please fix this issue and work out the bugs!

The app is absolutely great and needed

First of all, I will start by saying that I am a Black women who has used a lot of dating apps such as tinder, hinge, bumble etc and my experience has been terrible on those apps. I received disrespectful messages from men who were only looking for a hook up. Finding BlackGentry changed my feelings on dating apps and it is currently the only dating app I use. I saw an ad on IG and I follow their page and I have been in touch with customer service as I initially needed help and they were helpful and truly are passionate about creating an app for us and by us. Since joining I have seen a lot of improvements in the quality of men on the app as well as the stability of the app. I have also met decent men on the app over the past year. One of which I dated for a while. It ended so I came back and I am supriswd at all the new features. I absolutely love the restaurants feature and I see there is now a lot of members. I literally got 50 likes my first day on the app from DECENT black men. Great Job BlackGentry. We truly need to support apps and company’s that make products for us by us and this company is an example of one doing things right and for the right reason.

Boring & Deceiving

I joined this app in hopes of finding people with class & quality as stated in this app. I assumed the other members were single professionals that keep their pants around their waist. It’s the complete opposite & it’s inconsistent. You see a few decent men that at least look presentable and even state more than just a few words when you read about them. The rest gives me POF vibes , I don’t see anything classy about some of the members. I hate to be judgmental or shallow but I do pay attention to appearance. If I’m on a classy dating app why do I see nothing but men wearing saggy jeans throwing up middle fingers? Ew ! Also, the fact that I spent $24 just to see who liked my profile was a waste. Honestly, I don’t care about the money. I just want my time back. I do appreciate them wanting you to verify your identification , but there should be some kind of standard of how you carry yourself, I thought that’s what made this app different than the rest. The least they could’ve done was post a selfie, I wouldn’t have skipped so much.

Don’t Let Them Gaslight You!

I really wanted to support this app because it presented as a platform to meet upscale African-Americans but my experience has been terrible. I’ve tried to offer support by contacting these folks via Instagram but it hasn’t led to any significant improvement. 1. The app’s functionality is poor and it constantly just shuts down for no reason while using it. Messages from people who are interested, don’t always show up even though a notification will appear on my phone’s home screen. Whenever the developers update the app, you have to delete it and download it again—which is inconvenient and confusing. Admit these issues instead of denying they exist!!2. The selection pool of men is not upscale by far!Create filters to allow users to sort out people who don’t complete their profiles. That alone would make a big difference 3. The developers will not own up to the poor experience, and instead throw the dissatisfaction back on the customer like their unhappiness is a fault. Replies from them feel like clap-backs from a hurt child versus sincere customer careSome acknowledgement and grace on the part of the developers would go a long way and yet, there is no way to get a refund. It’s all good though. Karma will catch up with these folks as one day someone will publicly air this app’s dirty laundry. Disappointed and turned-off!!

More standards for women

I am a young professional male with some good prospects for myself in life and that’s great but what’s not great is this app. For a 21 year old male it’s definitely not the app you want to use. The algorithm is buggy for sure as I kept getting recommended the same women I swiped left on. The women are not professional at all. They look like drag queens and have weed and other substances in their pictures. Some women on there only want to sell “content” whatever that means. This is just a slightly higher barrier of entry than BLK and not to mention why is there other women than black on here? I thought this was FUBU??? Anyways…Advice to young professional black men do not get on this app leave it for everyone else your better than it. Advice to the developers of this app please do more checks on women accounts as well as men because quality men are not gonna stay on this app if there are lack luster women everywhere and the false advertisement of quality BLACK women.

Misleading

The absolutely worst dating app. They advertise “ambitious black singles” but there is no special screening different from other apps so u are literally getting the same ppl I would get from any other app. Also you can’t see who likes you unless you upgrade and and not a lot of men I’ve seen on here are willing to upgrade to match and communicate with you. This is a fairly new service and after 4 days of a paid subscription I was given a message there were no other profiles for me to view. Again, the advertisement makes you believe you will meet a higher caliber mate but there is no screening or requirements that make this app any different from others and if u don’t upgrade to a paid subscription so many features are blocked making this a full waste of time.Edit: I’ve read the developers comment and of course it’s their job to try to make the app seem good but essentially it’s no different than any others that all functions are free. You can send a very limited amount of messages and u can’t see who likes YOU.I’ve seen the exact same ppl I’ve seen on FB dating, BLK etc.That’s FINE but the advertisement is very misleading. I agree with the person who commented the app is boring. So much so I deleted the app with time still left on the monthly subscription I purchased.A waste of time and money.

Updating My Review

This app has made a lot of great improvements. I have been a member for a year now and met someone initially but we broke up. I came back after seeing the IG ad, and wow the app has way more people now. They have cleaned up the profiles a lot. I like the Black business feature because I am always traveling, and it has been useful to find black owned restaurants in different cities to go on dates. I get good matches on here too compared to other apps. I think the app continues to show promise. I usually do not like dating apps, but BlackGentry is currently my favorite dating app.
