Horrible

Ive been on the waiting list since October and am still over 12,500 people (out of less than 15,000) on the wait list for San Francisco and over 100,000 on the general. I have all 6 photos uploaded. Ive linked my Linked In. Ive filled out ALL sections of my profile. Ive invited friends. Ive seen zero movement on the wait list despite doing all of this. Does anyone even have access?! This is absurd.

Stupid app

This is another one of these stupid female envisioned dating apps that incentive women to have careers and such. More third wave feminism that we as a society need to ERADICATE.

Made me feel like a piece of ...

Just to let you know, at the age of 25, graduated from an Ivy League school, working as a Financial Risk Manager at a Fortune 100 company and having six figure annual income still wont get you off the wait list! I must be a failure or something...

Big joke

This app is the biggest joke ever. I registered in October and moved from 120,000 to 70,000 in few months. In January after the last big update, I moved back to 105,000 and I emailed the support. Nothing happened and since that, I havent moved at all. Its not fair, you should pass your way. Im going to report this app to Apple.

Waste of time

Literally, the biggest waste of time. I have been waiting for months to join, only to join and be completely disappointed. The app does not stand out from it’s competition, and genuinely fails to even keep up. Some details: 1 The UI needs some work. The icons are weird (your binocular “matches” icon looks like handcuffs), the color scheme tries to be modern and edgy but it’s sort of bland, and the worst is the message/chat set up. The message bubbles are extremely narrow and squished, and do not efficiently use the space on the screen in portrait mode. Tinder and Coffee Meets Bagel win here. 2 The errors. The errors I keep seeing shouldn’t be happening. Even for a product in Beta. Test messages being sent out, matches disappearing while I’m looking at them, matches not letting like / dislike them.. I mean the app only has a handful of purposes. It should do them as expected, after this long being on the market. The worst of the errors has to be the lack of preferences being followed. I put 10 miles from my location, and I get matches from 25-30 miles away. There are only basic (like 3) preferences to set, so when one isn’t being followed then that’s a big deal. OKC is way better at filters. Even CMB and Tinder. 3 The app algorithms are basic and not working. I’m not finding any good matches. Not to say that the women I match with aren’t great, they’re just not great for me. But then again, I can only see a few things about them so maybe I’m missing something? CMB wins here. 4 Speaking of basic profiles, one of my biggest gripes is that this app doesn’t let you tailor your profile to you. You have essentially your LinkedIn info (well a portion of it), and a less-than-a-tweet-headline. This does nothing to help me shine. Dating apps, and well, dating in general is a game of numbers for guys. Match with as many as you can, to get a small percentage to message you, to get a smaller percentage of dates, all in hopes to find the one special person. Oh that’s right, my point. My point is that my only real “success” has come from apps where I can put my personality out there from the get go. I say this comparing apps where I can’t really customize it (bumble, this app), vs apps where I can write what I want to write, and I get 10x as many responses where each say “i love your intro” or something along those lines. Tinder / OKC / POF - those win here 5 Lastly - This concierge idea is not working. When you join you get “assigned a personal concierge”. This blonde woman. I’m not sure what they hoped to get out of this, but it’s annoying. And that is the nicest I can put it. I get bombarded with this frequent messages addressed to me, but they’re walls of text and hard to read. Not just because of the narrow chat bubbles I mentioned earlier, but because they’re littered with Emojis and written like my little cousins who just graduated high school - sure it can be a little entertaining, but I just don’t get it. I’m not going to take the time to read all of that, and not only that, she says “let me know when there are issues”. I tried raising some of these issues here in some messages to her, but no response. My goal here is not to be mean or insulting, it’s to share some genuine gripes. So much anticipation was built up, and I feel like I was jipd. I work on UI projects for the biggest tech company in the world, and admittedly I am an avid user of dating apps (still looking for that special someone!). So my gripes here are based on my experience with both. All in all, this app has a GREAT marketing team that’s clearly doing it’s job. But that’s about it. The product and service are not there to make good on the promises made. To the League team members, hopefully you find some valid points in my rant and fix some things. Good luck.

Waste of your time

Literally waiting over a year for a dating app that is just another dating app (nothing new). Download another one

Worthless

Takes a few weeks to get on the app. Once you are in , notifications or messages dont work like half the time. Back to hinge.

Still not live in LA - a year later

Ive been waiting on this app for a year (I signed up back in February 2015), and I still get the same message: the app is not live in my city yet. I live in Los Angeles! Where exactly is this app live, that would have priority over a major metropolitan area like LA? Its not like they have to set up any sort of infrastructure (theres no delivery people to coordinate, or drivers to screen), so what exactly is the hold up? It seems to me like they bit off more than they could chew, and dont have the capability to deliver the product that they were marketing.

Waste of space

Been on this wait list since summer 2015 and the line just keeps going up and up. This app is just taking space on my phone.

Dont waste your time.

The "wait" was so not worth it ...there are never any matches ( if I broaden my perimeters any further it will border on criminal) and the "concierge" responds with condescending, emoji filled, repetitive emails. This is a skip!

Good experience so far, some super flaky girls

Im really not sure about all these super negative reviews. I signed up last summer and Ive been using the app in NYC. I like that there are only a few potential matches per day since you dont have to swipe a ton and the match rate is reasonably good. Also it helps that people expire eventually so the app gets rid of those super flaky people automatically. That is my one major complaint is that there are too many super flaky people on this app that never respond to messages.

HIGH FIVE

The League lives up to its promises--it is hands down my favorite dating app. Ive received tons of great prospects and have been on by far the best dates through this app. Due to the way profiles are ranked (/allowed to remain active!) matches are on point and response rates are high. What do you have to lose? Worst case scenario youll meet some really cool people, see new places, and try different things. Best of all is the customer service. Your Concierge will answer any questions you have. From personal experience Ill vouch for their quick response time and genuine friendliness. *HIGH FIVE*, youve created a stellar dating app!

Wow

Took me a few days to "get in." I thought Id be waiting for months. The first round of batches were amazing. Really attractive, accomplished men around my age!! Glad I didnt give up.

Good so far, sometimes a bit buggy

Uninstalling the app and restarting my phone usually fixes issues with the app. Ive found the men are quieter I this app, but hoping to find a good match one day soon

Better than other dating apps

Not as overwhelming as other dating apps. Its efficient, verifiable info + considers actual compatibility.

Waste of time

I invited friends, I waited, anything it said to do. I was on the waiting list for months. Just checked again, number 21,000. Are you kidding me?! So unless I invite 1000 people to be annoyed by this app, Im stuck in a wait list for years? Whats the point??? Ill try my luck with absolutely any other site. I feel like Im being punked... This app cant be real.

Useless

It doesnt work. It gets your personal information from Facebook and LinkedIn, and then puts you on a wait list for ever.

Matches are so successful, theyre too busy to date (oops!)

Ive been using The League for over a year now (got right through the line thanks to degrees and affiliations). Compared to other dating sites/apps, Ive experienced by far the lowest response rate from (mutual) matches. The company brags about how busy and successful their users are, but they seem to have forgotten the flip side of that equation: flakiness and general lack of time to date. If youre serious about meeting someone, dont expect this app to facilitate that.

Are you serious?

Ive been on the wait list for over a year. Deleting!

Waiting list for an year

Dump this app immediately, I highly doubt what kind of app let customers to wait more than an year and keep you on waiting forever
