I wish I could give zero stars. This site promises better matches through asking more questions. What is totally not clear in their advertising is that in order to see photos you need to purchase a subscription of $62.90 per month for a minimum of 6 months. Based on their advertising I thought why not try. However this fee gives you nothing more… Read more
than the photos. No additional information or help to find a match. The app has a lot less people on(now I see why!) than other apps and is slow and glitchy. Do not be fooled and save your money! App is an absolute waste or time!
I joined eHarmony but suddenly could not get into the site. When I informed the company of my difficulty, their response was, essentially, tough-keep paying us, and don't even try to leave us. Show details
eHarmony - A Highly Dysfunctional Dating Site with Questionnable Conduct I turned to eHarmony as a promoted serious dating site for age-relevant companions for life after trialing other dating sites where I experienced scams, AI generated profiles and responses. The experience has been highly deflating and disappointing. After writing to… Read more
potential partners always in a respectable and genuine fashion, I never received a response. I eventually queried eHarmony was there an account issue involving my messaging. I received the below message back.

Greetings, Thank you for contacting eharmony regarding the restriction of your account. We have reviewed your information and see that a decision was made to restrict this account and have determined that the action was appropriate. Common reasons for restriction include but are not limited to: Member’s personal information does not coincide with information listed in public record Member’s behavior violated eharmony’s Terms and Conditions of Service
As a practice, we do not elaborate on the specific reasons as to why an account was restricted. All payment activity has been suspended/canceled. Please contact your financial institution for confirmation. To review our Terms & Conditions, please go to the links section at the bottom of any eharmony page and click the link for "Terms & Conditions".
We wish you all the best. Sincerely, Betty B. eharmony Customer Care"
To be clear, I was never advised there was a "restriction" applied to my account and can only assume this has applied ever since I subscribed for the 6-month package.
My response back to eHarmony appears below.
"Sat 23/05/2026 10:27am Dear Customer Care I have at all times complied with your Terms and Conditions and the practice of not elaborating on the specific reasons as to why an account was restricted does nothing to restore my faith in your brand or business conduct.
I have spent a great deal of time raising the profile of myself and that should speak of my conviction and seriousness in using your site for what it was intended.
I will be endeavouring to withdraw my profile from your site and mobile app and will be posting your heavy-handed response and unpreparedness to resolve the matter in a Customer's favour on Product Review and Trust Pilot. That will include this email as context and your below response.
This unpreparedness to be accountable for "restricting" a member without notice and without avenue of readdress is highly inappropriate for a dating site that states it is about building connections.
You will be judged by such behaviour as a fraud. With thanks, Tim"
IN A WORD, DO NOT USE EHARMONY SINCE THEIR ETHOS IS NOT ABOUT PROMOTING CONNECTIONS. THERE BUSINESS CONDUCT LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED.

Worst website ever! Especially when trying to get a refund Show details
Biggest scam ever. I have been locked out of Eharmony because of a new security feature that requires you to submit a one-time passcode in order to log into your account. The problem is that the code never arrives in my email inbox. I have exchanged over 15 messages with their customer service team, and they keep sending one-time passcodes that,… Read more
when entered, do not work.
They have no phone number, no IT department to speak of, and the worst most incompetent customer service. I have been using the site for 18 months and really only matched with one person who ended up being a gaslighting, dishonest person who was not ready for a committed relationship. There has been an overall lack of quality matches on their platform. Don't waste your money.
I will be disputing my subscription fee and lodging a complaint against Eharmony with the Federal Trade Commission.
I have been charged $119.68 but I couldn't even use the app and not just that I couldn't even ad my bio now they expecting me to pay for something that I haven't used in years which is wrong that why I delete the app and never went back to it so should I pay the bill or just ignore it in my email Show details
I wish I had read this before subscribing. I’ve subscribed and there is no one to match with. And my distance is over 50kms !! I don’t even want to meet someone further than 10kms! This is so disappointing. I’ve requested cancellation, but after reading these reviews I feel like I won’t be able to cancel it. The T&C says you can cancel anytime.… Read more
And steps to do it. When you try to follow the steps, they actually don’t exist instead you’re told to email them directly.
They better not start charging me. I will take this to fair trading. Have already notifying my bank to ensure they don’t charge me.
August 2025: You cannot delete your eHarmony dating app account! All information about deleting the account is either fake or outdated. Even the FAQ on eHarmony webpage is outdated or fake! You can only make the account inactive! I tried to get my account deleted by contacting them directly, but the reply received on 30/08/2025 is that you cannot… Read more
delete your account (even if you don't have membership). That's the only app that don't let you delete your account that I have information about! Let's spread the word to everyone about it. Worst dating app in the entire world! Besides all of that, the app doesn't show photos, only blurry photos, unless you pay a membership. Unbeatable as the worst dating app ever created!

eharmony is the worst dating app every created in history. They are designed to take money from people and provide fake profiles. They will not help for anything. They will reply AI generated information. Show details
Follow-up · signup was easy if you are going for discount after that you can't cancel you have to keep paying even though you are not interested to continue. Profiles will never respond back. It looked like fake profiles. Customer service will tell you stories about waiting for the reply from profile.
Please don't use the app! If you cancel you lose most of your money. If you then decide to stay given you hardly get a refund, they refuse to reinstate your membership. £95 for basic membership (6 months) post a heavy 60% discount on membership!… Read more
Only £30 to be reimbursed after cancelllation. The rest goes to pay for an electronic report I didn't even access!
Daylight robbery.......all i got was 1 hr of using it (regrettably ) and they didn't revoke the cancellation so I just got £30 back.
Doesn't matter how many clauses they write, how is this ethical, how would anyone go back to this sort of behaviour from a site?
Be careful
Follow-up · Everything was an issue. Customer service Ability to go back on and use it without paying AGAIN , awful customer service. SHOP AROUND, DONT USE THEM
I went into eHarmony. Guess I clicked on the wrong plan. I immediately tried to get out of it. Evidently my state is exempt from refunds. I tried to make it work. My matches were far out of my age range. That’s if I even got matches. I kept trying… Read more
to get a refund because they never came through with their promises and services. The outcome was I kept communicating with their customer support, telling them to email me an invoice for the full amount of $331.00. Never heard back until I got an email from a debt collector. I paid it the minute I received it. Next thing I knew, the had contacted the credit agencies and dinged my 800 credit score significantly. eHarmony is EvIL!!!
Follow-up · I paid $332.00 to get off the eHarmony website. My credit was dinged by them, but went back up quickly and did not harm me. Horrible experience I will not forget.
Positive reviews
I found love on eHarmony. Unfortunately I wasn't fortunate enough to keep it. However it worked for me twice. I suppose you have to be lucky, and when you find it hold on tight with both hands Show details
Follow-up · eHarmony is an analog of life. The beautiful people always have many choices to get their perfect partner. The rest of us mere mortals are left out in the cold. If you aren't good looking you have a have a very thick skin to play this game. It tells you that you are an ugly old loser and nobody wants you.

I have been on this site twice for about 9 months each time over a 3 year period. I have found the site to be technically very good, and easy to navigate, but there is a bit of a learning curve and you need to be reasonably computer savvy. I am in the 65+ age range and never found any fake profiles. There are some people who ignore messages and… Read more · 1
behave somewhat badly, but they are in the minority, and you can't blame the site for people's behaviour. My only gripe would be the poor location data given. The 2 post code digits in my area give a poor idea of where a potential match lives - especially when you get out of the 20KM circle. Surely it wouldn't hurt to quote the suburb. In my area contacts that are close enough occur often enough. I have had sufficient contacts, some came close to lasting relationships - not everyone is going to be a perfect match and I know I contributed to a couple of fails with somewhat poor social skills. However this is the best site I have used and happy to continue. Some other sites I have tried are totally dishonest scams - no other way of describing them. Anyone who gives up after a week or 2 on EH hasn't given it a fair go. If you are not getting many matches in your area - it may be due to a sparsely populated region or an age group not into online dating. Do your homework - use the free version of the site - may have blurred photos and limited contact capability but will give an idea of how many people are out there, and indicate if a paid subscription could work. Put some time into your profile, make sure it is complete and honest, with a photo, or you can expect to be ignored or rejected.
E harmony works – I have just joined E harmony and to be honest you do find matches and connections so I'm really not sure why we have some negative reviews .....if you read the reviews before joining you would think twice but I truly believe that you do get messages and genuine people do reply....so if you are thinking about joining I would say yes it's not… Read more · 1
expensive give it a chance and there is someone there that's real and genuine ...it's not a scam site at all
Negative reviews
I requested to cancel my subscription, yet money is still being withdrawn from my account. I only provided my old card number, so I have no idea how you obtained my new card details. This is a serious matter, and I am considering taking legal action for the unauthorized use of my credit card information. I have also asked my bank to dispute all the funds that were taken from my card illegally.
The government will not allow eharmony to delete inactive profiles even when directly requested as its used for collecting information. The site is expensive and non response matches as the profiles are simply sitting there undeleted. Poor format and in general a BIG waste of expensive money. Watch for auto renewal, many get trapped. They offer so… Read more
called discounts which is a lie. The original price is overinflated as this is a psychological trick to make you think the site has a quality about it that does not exist. In general a waste of money.
If I could give a minus I would. I signed up for the basic eharmony but very quickly realised it wasn’t for me and tried to cancel it but that proved impossible I was told I could only put my account on hold, so I removed all my details so I was not visible. I contacted eharmony asking to cancel but they refused and kept taking money from my… Read more
account different amounts ie $20.99, $14.96, $38.99 over several months even though I was not using it. In desperation I had to cancel my bank account. Now they are trying to force me to pay $350.10. I tried to cancel within a month. This company is a money grabber do not use them.

Beware of this site you can’t delete your account I have been trying for months. They say it’s because of the legal battle they are fighting atm. Says it all Show details
Honestly, this has been one of the worst experiences I’ve come across. Customer service was poor, with slow responses and no real accountability I had to chase everything myself. Even when people were checking me out, there didn’t seem to be any real response which makes you wonder. A key photo that was meant to be included on their profile was… Read more
missing, and to make matters worse, you have to ask to see their pictures.
Overall, very disappointing and not something I would use again.
It’s a trap, it’s a scam. They’ve deducted hundreds instead of a month of subscription just to have a go and see how it goes. They locked me in a year long contract. Show details
I signed up for the year (st^pid) to get the "discount" and ran out of people in my area after 3 months. Now every month when I see the $50 coming out of my account it just further annoys me. Would not recommend unless you're lonely and any other single person will do. Plenty of nice people on there, just not the one for me . . . and now there's no new "stock". Show details

Unauthorised charges and zero accountability. eHarmony charged my account for a subscription I did not sign up for, linked to an email that isn’t mine. Despite raising this, they refused to stop future payments. Now escalated to my bank and Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. Stay well clear. Show details
I cancelled my subscription and my contract had finished yet they are still taking money out of my account. I have contacted them but they wont reply. Next is the ombusman. Show details
Terms and conditions are misleading. Ran out of options of people within area that day. Quality of the people on the app was really poor, worse than other apps. Not worth the money it charges. Show details
I give them one star because they were very quick to process my credit card transaction. I wish I had seen all of the other bad reviews. They have extremely poor customer service and are not willing to talk to me. They send scripted emails just telling you to read terms and conditions, that's it, over and over again. Very poor. Don't do it! Show details
A predatory business model that auto renews your subscription - any comms from them goes to spam and can be missed, Don't waste money with them. If the company had any integrity you would be left to elect whether to continue. Very clear why they structure their T&Cs this way - nobody would renew. Show details
Worst dating site ever. You end up paying a small fortune for a site that frankly stinks. You cant do anything for free, so they lure you in by claiming a great monthly price special and some people buy into it thinking your getting a bargain but that price is only for the 1st month and you only get a deal if you sign up for a year. You have to… Read more
sign up for 6 months minimum regardless. The site itself is so restrictive that it will totall frustrate you. In the time that ive been on it, all it does is send me useless matches that are too far away or people that i wouldnt date. I dont know where they get their algorithms from but its not from this world. They also give you advice on what you should say and i can guarantee you nobody with half a brain would ask these ridiculous hokey questions. This site is a total scam. The reason they claim a high success rate isnt because their good, its because you're locked in for 6 months to a year. God forbid they let the customers sign up for a month at a time because they would be gone in a month
If there was a Zero-star rating, I would use it! Locked into a 6-month contract and used for less than 1 month (over $50 a month), no matches unless they were scams this company should not be operating! it is a complete waste of money! DO NOT Sign Up!!!!!!!! I was serious about finding a life partner and this company took advantage of that with no remorse! Show details
I am so disappointed in my experience on eHarmony. Firstly, the cheapest membership was just under $300 for 6 months. Within the first day I had already run out of matches, and I lived in a suburb in Brisbane (so not at all rural). I did make some connections but the two dates I went on ended up being with two guys who were clearly not mature… Read more
enough to date (even though they were in their early 40s). The second guy ended up dragging things on for 2 weeks, love bombed me, deceived me in so many ways, and when I questioned things, he made it seem like I was at fault. When it was finally over I had reached out to eHarmony, but was 3 days past the cancellation period. It didn't matter that my matches ran out so quickly (when I went back on the app it ran out again within less than a day), or the fact that I had such bad experiences with the men on the app (including a stalker 6 years ago after 2 weeks of dating). They could only put my account on hold, but couldn't even read my request correctly and almost out it on hold for 3 months instead of 3 weeks. No point to this, as it cuts into your membership time. The high price does not justify the cr#p service and the incredibly low pool of available matches. AVOID!
