It’s decent
Overall, the app does what it’s supposed to do, but there are still some issues. A lot of people you match with either don’t respond after you initially reach out or they stop replying after a few conversations. That can make it frustrating because the whole point is to build a connection, but it’s hard to get to that point when you can’t even consistently text or talk with someone.
My biggest issue with the app is the limited pool of people nearby. You might match with someone or see someone in your potential matches, but they’ll be 100+ miles away instead of someone who’s 20–30 miles away and realistically easier to meet and build something with. After you go through your available matches in your area, the app starts showing people from other states, which doesn’t make much sense when distance is already a major factor for a lot of people.
I’ve also noticed that even though the app is geared toward Christians looking for long-term relationships, not everyone you meet necessarily follows through with that. I’ve had conversations end, I’ve had people stop responding, and sometimes it feels like time wasted. However, I don’t think that’s necessarily the app’s fault — that’s just part of dating in general.
Overall, my biggest complaints are the small dating pool, limited nearby matches, and the difficulty of actually getting the opportunity to connect with someone who fits what you’re looking for. The concept of the app is good, but it would be better if there were more active users and more realistic distance options for matching

Good app
The app it’s self and the idea of is really good and really cool, hard to get local matches tho, everyone is from Texas 😭
★★★★★positiveGodlovesyouuuuuu · 2026-07-14 · v10.6
good app for Christian dating
good app for finding God honoring people
★★★★★positiveKidco777 · 2026-07-14 · v10.6
Finally a community of passionate Christians.
I’m no stranger to dating apps but thank God for this one.
It displays Jesus and off the back, Christ is at the center of it all. To hear the language of faith in these individuals is amazing. But it doesn’t stop there. There’s a section that also allows you the opportunity to develop friendships. With other men and women. A place where not only you can be able to find a wife or husband, but a true brother or sister in Christ.
An app that truly expands the Kingdom of God!

Not worth it
You only get to view about 40 profiles that are a minimum 60 miles away from you and to be honest the women were not attractive whatsoever; call it a location issue but no other dating app has these issues. Ontop of that you have to pay money for the basic filters such as ethnicity.
★★★★★neutralSamwell8654 · 2026-07-13 · v10.6
Good concept, hard to use without paying
Intentionally Christian, but barely any filters available for free, and prompts are pre-defined and only somewhat helpful
★★★★★positiveMAG...TrustInGod · 2026-07-13 · v10.6
A HOLY space to connect!🤍
I love what God has put on the founders and team’s heart! This is an amazing platform. All glory to God. May God continue to bless this HOLY space to connect believers for Gods covenant marriages! 🤍

It’s not free like they say
Obviously with a specific interest one needs to expect few local matches. But apparently it’s focused predominantly on California. The other misleading fact is that while you may have a wave/like you cannot connect unless you pay. Even though they never showed up in your discovery section. So just like all the other dating apps. MONEY FIRST. This app probably weeds our fake profiles well with their required verification process. It’s pretty clear they are small and want money to allow to connect. And it ain’t cheap.
★★★★★positiveM17anda · 2026-07-12 · v10.6
Still new
Still knew, but I have downloaded three other dating apps and I am very disappointed in the others compared to this one. I absolutely love that. The profiles require serious thought.

Met my WONDERFUL husband🥹🥰 11/10 would recommend.
I’ve been on various Christian dating apps over the years but never found one as great as this! On the app, you can see someone’s denomination, what he is learning in the Word, church attendance/frequency, what his ideal Sunday looks like, whether he wants children in the future, career/educational background, and a bit of his values!
I was looking for a very specific type of person in the reformed world who would be a godly, self-controlled family man and who was also invested in his local church. I was also looking for someone cute so I didn’t think all those things existed in one person. :) Boy did God deliver through this app. My husband and I fell in love SUPER hard within a few of our first dates. Our core values and worldview aligned so well and it was so fun to be together. We were engaged almost a year after meeting.
It’s now 6 months after our wedding and I can truly say he is one of the best things to ever happen to me. A sweet, godly, and very handsome husband all thanks to the Lord and his providence through this life-changing app!
★★★★★negativeTamamark · 2026-07-11 · v10.6
Waste of time
The problem with these apps is multifaceted. First Americans have wretched values second, American women are courtesans. Third the only thing left over online are the leftovers and nobody wants to eat these leftovers. I live in Chicago and had absolutely zero matches and the app kept recommending people way out of my 40 mile radius filter. There was not even a five on the entire app that I saw. I’m not making fun of people’s personal appearances but come on everyone knows how to lose a little weight and fix their hair.

Truly better 4 Christians
Hey everyone-honest review from a real Christian person here. Bottom line if you love the LORD and are trying to connect with others who live their life for HIM then you should give this app a try. My experience has been great. You will find true Christian men and women here if you look for them. I believe we should be supporting one another now more than ever because the times are wicked and getting worse 🙏🏽🙌🏽✝️

No games
I met genuine people on this app, did require patience, but there’s something real about this, and through it, I met this amazing girl named Holly, thank you to the staff here😊🙌
★★★★★positiveJaksiemasz2011 · 2026-07-10 · v10.6
A true Christian app
Love the fact that people are verified. The questions are perfect for a Christ centered dating app. Beautifully, and intentionally made.
★★★★★negativeFark Dent · 2026-07-09 · v10.6
Inactive accounts
99.9 percent of the accounts you see are inactive, how I know this? The a profile of a girl I know thats in a relationship outside of the app is still there. And she deleted her account. There’s still accounts of people who’ve I’ve seen from a couple years ago being recommended to me.
If you’re in a big city you have a chance, if you’re outside of that you’re pretty much screwed. Remove the accounts it’s honestly kinda eerie, like you’re seeing ghosts…
★★★★★neutralMentions pricingBreMarie07 · 2026-07-06 · v10.6
Swiping through profiles
I don’t really enjoy the fact that you’re only allowed to go through 40 profiles every 4 hours. The only way you can see other people is either A. Wait or B. Pay for the subscription. It’s not as flexible compared to other Christian sites I’ve been on. Recently got this yesterday and I’m already thinking of deleting because of this. Feels way too strict.
★★★★★negativeMentions pricingNeshia001 · 2026-07-06 · v10.6
Don’t recommend
Foremost, $15 a week at MINIMUM just to see who waved at me? Wouldn’t let me see some of the messages people were sending and there’s no way to narrow down my searches. It’s great if you can afford it but you can’t do much without paying. Newer to my area & trying to change my circle & environment so I thought this app would be a good idea. Too expensive and too limited in its free version. However, best of luck to you all utilizing it.
★★★★★negativeMentions pricingGodMadePearl · 2026-07-06 · v10.6
Not A Big fan, but okay
This is my initial review after purchasing maybe after my one month subscription I’ll update all. I love the app because it’s centered of a community of people who supposedly love Jesus. Just like anything you have to test what people say to trust of course. I don’t like it because my preferences are not what I am shown. It tends to show me a particular type of person that is total opposite of me. I also dislike it doesn’t seem to even have a good algorithm based on your likes. For something this expensive it needs help. But I am willing to give to the work of God, i love the application approval process to hopefully reject those not lovers of Christ that would not be equally yoked.
★★★★★negativeParker Harr · 2026-07-06 · v10.6
Long Distance Dating
Paid or free preferences do not work. “Outside your preferences” should just not be something at all or an option to turn on or off. All I am seeing is people 250-1000 miles away. I have most options minus distance set to default. The last time someone was 60 miles or less was when I first downloaded the app and even then it was just a handful. I live in the central part of the US in a large city with another 5 large cities 100 miles or less away. Months now with this is just terrible. Stay away from this app.

The Best Christian Dating App!
This app is the best. A lot of great people on here, and has a ‘recently on’ or ‘just joined’ feature so that you aren’t liking or messaging inactive profiles. Also messaging is totally free! 10/10
★★★★★negativeW0nSh0t · 2026-07-01 · v10.4
Completely ignores preferences
I had one very simple preference - 60 miles. That’s it. There are 900,000 people within this radius, but in 2 months, the app showed me 0 people who meet this basic filter. Deleting

In the short time I’ve been on this app I’ve seen great profiles of God fearing people I pray you find yours this is the best app I’ve been on
★★★★★positiveAnnalee28 · 2026-06-29 · v10.5
Beautiful & Intentional App
This app is definitely curated with intention, and it’s beautiful to see how intentional every process the app has is. Definitely worth trying if you haven’t.
★★★★★negativeKC_53 · 2026-06-29 · v10.5
Rejected application, wont tell me why
Whoever runs this app won't tell me why my application got rejected, which isn't very helpful.
