Not the worst, not the best either.

By Brian Reeves , Oceanside, CA

As far as dating sites go, Zoosk is pretty good. The only downside is that most users do not subscribe, obviously due to the high monthly cost. However, for those that do subscribe, it is awesome. It encourages people to like pictures, which increases your chances to make a connection with someone. I have actually met a lot of nice girls on there in person. When you originally sign up it is confusing because of the 'auto wink reply' feature that people can have with the free profile. So you think people are actively writing back to you, but it is just their auto reply, they didn't even know you tried to write them. It would be nice if Zoosk lowered their monthly costs, because I think a lot more members would try it, making it overall a better site. I like OKCupid, but the members there are too focused on LifeTime Relationships they almost never want to meet up with someone. Zoosk has more realistic members.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Site interference

By Ted Walker , Sun City West, AZ

I contacted one lady with a message complimenting her for her worldly accomplishments. She said thanks. I expressed my regret we lived so far apart and wished her well. She returned the same to me. Afterwards, I was getting daily, multiple notices she was viewing me. I was curious so asked her if she was viewing me multiple times daily. She said no. It appears to me the site is generating false views, not a good thing for one of these sites to do as it gets folks all excited that someone is interested when they are not. I finally stopped the exchanges by blocking her and removing chat permission. For this reason, I will not recommend this site to anyone unless they like to be misled by this type of interference.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This site is a scam

By Ev , London

I hate it. You pay, but cant view or speak to people unless you buy coins, despite paying a huge subscription. I canceled the next day but can't contact anyone physically for a refund.

SCAM!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Do Not Sign Up!

By Steve , Utah

If you message some users, you'll automatically be sent a automated message from them. Tinder is a better app then this and its free! It actually costs $25 to activate and then $75 for 6 months, ouch.... I would never pay for this pay again... (I'd like to think).

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Horrible Site

By Anonymous Zoosk User , U.S.A.

I would NOT recommend this site to anyone for the following reasons:

1. The site uses your profile and makes it appear that you have been repeatedly viewing other members when you have not even seen their profile. It makes you look like a stalker.

2. This site will not allow you to post any picture unless it is yet another ridiculous selfie. They delete any other photo you post, without your authorization, even if it is an appropriate, funny picture that you want to share. On your own profile, you should be entitled to share any (non flagrant) picture that you think represents you.

3. The search radius does not function correctly. You may search within 100 miles of your location and results from 500+ miles away will appear.

4. The subscriber messenger service is very unsophisticated. You can only view the first several words you type, then have to highlight and scroll back if you want to recheck what you typed. (For non-subscribers, you have to pay to message) 5. Finally, you have to pay coins to view "mutual matches." You either have to buy these or "earn" them by agreeing that you want to meet a certain number of people.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
