Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 43 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the app to be unsatisfactory, with some feeling it engaged in questionable practices. People frequently encountered issues with the subscription model, noting that the initial membership fee did not unlock meaningful functionality and that additional paywalls were not made clear upfront. Reviewers also reported problems with payments, including unexpected charges to their accounts even after paying for a year-long subscription, and difficulties with refunds. The user experience was often criticized, with people experiencing bans without explanation, a lack of transparency regarding reporting systems, and repetitive profiles that did not lead to meaningful matches. Some customers also mentioned concerns about the price, feeling it was a waste of money due to the limited value and the need to pay more to contact or like anyone. However, some people did find the connections they made on the app to be amazing.

Randomly banned from AI and no one will…

Randomly banned from AI and no one will look into it. I know I did nothing to break the rules and someone has either reported me or AI has picked up something innocent which triggered it. However the staff have not even attempted to tell me what the cause is or compromise by at least making the ban temporary due to the "safety of the community". I have done my research and several people seem to be having this issue where they get randomly banned and staff refuse to look into it. It's so ridiculous because I am a paying customer who was actually enjoying using the app and I made connections. Yet if someone is annoyed with me they can report me and get me banned for no reason.

It's an unfair and cruel system and I will keep shouting from the rooftops until I'm heard and change starts.

Hypocrisy and rude staff

Pure claims to be an inclusive and respectful dating app, but my experience was the opposite. I was banned after updating my bio to something similar to what many others had. Confused, I emailed support politely to ask what rule I’d broken, explaining it was only my second time using the app. Instead of a clear or courteous response, I received an incredibly rude and condescending reply.

I could’ve accepted their decision if they’d chosen not to reinstate my account, but the tone of their message was appalling — completely unprofessional and disrespectful. For a platform that preaches inclusivity and kindness, their customer service shows none.

If this is how they treat polite, paying users, I can only imagine how they handle serious issues. Pure is anything but — I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

I was going to join with payment

I was going to join with payment, but reading everything on here i dont think I'll bother. The final nail for me was finding out women get to use it for free, that basically just invites idiots and people just having a laugh. But im the one paying for them to do that, no thanks.

The 'doms' 🙄 fgs🤦🏻‍♀️ give it a rest

Used this app on and off for about 2 years, only met 5 nice people in all that time. 95% of the guys on here get blocked, they are disgusting and I'm not going anywhere near them. Married and unashamed, get penis pics thrown at you instead of a hello, get called a s l u t , it's overrun with 20/21 year olds pretending to be doms. Every damn male profile 'I'm a dom' er..no your not, shut up. all the men just want cnc and to smack you around ...no way that's just sick. I've left now, can't be arsed with 21yr olds and married old farts. I'm 41, and I'm done with this app.

Hi there! Pure is open to adults of all ages with different interests, but not every profile will be a match — and that’s totally fine. What’s not fine is disrespect. Unwanted pictures, insults, or anything crossing the line are not tolerated on Pure. When that happens, blocking and reporting is the best way to let our moderation team know so we can take action fast.

Some people come here for kinks, some for casual chats, some for spontaneous meets — it’s all about finding those who are on the same page as you. Contact us on review@pure.app, we are there for you!

Absolutely awful experience

Absolutely awful. I'd been using the app for a while, had done nothing wrong and was suddenly banned. After contacting Pure they admitted they'd made a mistake and reinstated me. Used the app a while longer, all was fine, I then removed my profile from view for a few weeks while I was away. So all was good, then absolutely no activity from me whatsoever, logged back in yesterday and I'm banned. I'm told there's no mistake on their part which is absolute rubbish as I certainly don't know anything I've done wrong and I hadn't been using the app anyway. Standard e-mail, won't tell you what you're supposed to have done. Horrible experience.

And yet they go on saying the same thing so people think you must have done something when you haven't. You don't know what you're supposed to have done and you've got no right of reply. And I've got the e-mail to prove they made a mistake the first time. This is their mistake too. Not sure why they want to ban a genuine rule-abiding female. Something's off.

Would also like to know how have they checked this out (see their reply), when you e-mail them they say they can't help you without you providing them specific information? I haven't put that information in my review. So they either can find you without this information when you e-mail them but chose to make it difficult or they can't find you without the information and their reply here is fake. Which is it?

Absolute criminal of a company/team

Absolute joke of a company/team
Can’t even explain why account creation leads to a ban. I’ve asked several times for evidence and reason and nothing to add. As a new user, it’s a joke to see how they handle there customers.

To one point it allowed me to create a profile and pay for the weekly membership then it banned me? That’s theft!

I’ve had a friend also tell me most jealous or rude people have a tendency to report people on the app to force account closures personally this is honestly sad it’s all automated and when you want to reason and justify the responses are minimal.

Don’t ever use this company or its app.

First of all this app is disgusting

First of all this app is disgusting, it’s full of hundreds of men looking to cheat on their wives

Myself, a single woman goes on this app and I’m banned within 20 minutes and then they start asking me for ID, and selfies, what the hell is this? This is not a banking app.. why the hell do you have to see more than my selfie to know that I’m real?

Why the hell do you need to see my ID? I’ve been on every single dating app known to man. There’s not a single one that will demand your ID next to your face.

Scammy pos developers this site is obviously run for men by men and they get off on harassing women. I hope their app fails miserably.

Honestly, their response to my complaint is just pure bullshit.

I’m 47 years old. There was never any doubt about my age.

I was not kicked off for fear I was under 18.

There’s no explanation for wanting to see My ID or asking me for multiple selfies. None. Even when I did send them one selfie that verified all of my photos, wearing the same distinct necklace, and My ID, they continue to harass me for more photos this time wanting my face beside the ID

This app treats its users like children.

Some cheating dude can be graphic and disgusting and not outrightl about his marriage status

That same you can ask me for a blowj o b in his vehicle, like I’m some unpaid prostitute but if I tell him to f off, I’m kicked off the app.

Their policies are retarded. Grow up you bunch of pansies.

I’m entitled to use whatever language I want when addressing some Idiot cheating on his wife. Screening me for language when the basis of 50% of your male users is cheating on their wives, ridiculous.

Hi Nicole,
Thanks for your feedback — we’re genuinely sorry your experience with Pure didn’t meet your expectations.
We’d love to clarify why ID and selfie verification is sometimes required. This isn’t about policing — it’s about protecting our community. As outlined in our Terms and Community Guidelines, we’re committed to keeping Pure safe, authentic, and strictly 18+. Unfortunately, that means we have to be extra careful about both fake profiles and underage users.
Age verification isn’t optional — we follow Apple and Google platform requirements and comply with local legal obligations to keep minors off the app. When someone refuses to complete this verification, we treat it as a red flag. That’s why your account may have been blocked automatically — not as a personal judgment, but as a safety protocol that applies to all users who trigger this flow.
We understand it might feel strict, but these steps exist to protect real users — especially women — from scams, abuse, and harmful behavior. And just to reassure you: ID data is handled securely, processed only for verification, and never stored long term, as explained in our Privacy Policy.
If you believe your account was flagged in error, reach out to us directly at feedback@pure.app. We’ll happily take another look.
Thanks for helping us stay accountable —
Team Pure

Horrible place to be a woman

Horrible place for a woman. They advertise it as a place where all kinds of relationships are possible but it is just a gross hookup app. Nearly ever other profile is a man talking about the size of his penis. The men on there are very predatory & creepy. Absolutely not an app designed for women. I advise all ladies to stay away.

Paid for subscription, got banned immediately — no reason, no refund

I registered on Pure.app, uploaded a standard profile photo and a short description — that’s all. I paid for a subscription via their website using a QR code on July 9th, 2025.

After logging in again, I was instantly banned without explanation. No chats, no matches, nothing. I reached out to support — they sent me a vague message about violating guidelines but refused to explain what exactly I did wrong.

I asked for a refund because I didn’t use the service at all. They ignored my request.

This feels like a scam: you pay, get locked out, and then support hides behind generic rules.

Pure, if you're reading this: unblock my account or refund my money.

Hi there! We’ve looked into your case carefully, just like we do with every report that comes in. After a full review (and a second one to be sure), we confirmed there were solid reasons for the ban on your account. We take our community guidelines seriously, and any violations can lead to a permanent block. We know that sounds strict, but it’s how we keep the Pure experience safe for everyone.

About the refund: we totally understand how frustrating this must be. Refunds are processed based on App store's rules and our own policy. If you haven’t received one, it usually means the request didn’t meet the eligibility criteria. We’re really sorry that things didn’t work out.

Still confused or want to talk it through? Just email us at review@pure.app and we’ll do our best to help.

No refund

No refund. You don't get what you pay for. Dangerously sharp item. They offer store credits, although it says they will refund.
Then under another company name they charge you 29.99 for a discount club (I'm guessing here) until you find the charge and dispute it with them, but they are hanging on to the first payment made.
