Ratings and Reviews
Rubbish app
App is so terrible, cheap and nasty looking and everything takes ages to load. Uninstalled it for the second time.
Useless if you’re not heterosexual
Thus is probably the worst dating app I have experienced.
The premise is cool. A lot of people love those with beards. However the first version had no real facility for anyone other than heterosexual people to meet.
Despite the supposed improvements in version 2, I see nothing to recommend in this app.
The user interface is so unfriendly, and the tone is still heterocentric despite protestations from the Bristlr team in the past that there would be greater inclusivity and a better overall experience was due to appear. I see no evidence of this in the latest update and certainly no indication of sexuality which is supposed to be a new feature. So it seems that if you are anything other than heterosexual then tough cookies.
The search is very poor with no logic to the results. This is like a rubbish version of Tindr.
As a guy seeking other guys there are better functioning apps out there and I will be deleting this from my phone.
Not user friendly and shows incorrect matches
I’m getting women’s profiles despite giving my preferences and so many clicks are needed to navigate this app. Yet it hasn’t been improved in about a year! Also finding many people use just one photo that doesn’t show them clearly. All advice for profiles recommends using multiple images of you not your car. Why isn’t Bristlr cracking down so it can rise in the ranks of dating apps?! Quitting it again and won’t be back unless it improves
