Long time user with significant issues
My biggest problems, and they are significant, have been going on since I first signed up around ten years ago. It is an ongoing frustration that we cannot refine searches to a certain percentage, as its basically pointless for people with high enemy percentages or low match percentages to show up on searches. It also bewilders me as to why I get a limited amount of users in my searches, instead of every user that fits the parameters of those searches. I keep waiting for these obvious, glaring, issues to be fixed and instead we get Tinderesque searches and platform upgrades instead of solutions to actual, long-existing issues.
Ive had a lot of success with the site/app and will continue using it as its the best site/app of its kind, but these problems bring the experience down rather significantly. It is beyond belief that I see people with very high percentage numbers in the special blend that flat out do not appear, no matter what I try, when I sort by match percentage.
EDIT: I like how the developer response to my review was a form letter that didnt address any of my issues. Not only that, but the website/app has gotten even worse because of the removal of visitors, which was one of the best ways to gauge interest from other users. Removal of that feature has seriously affected the utility of OKCupid, and I would stress that the developers have made a major mistake by getting rid of it. Stop making OKCupid worse!
