They Suck! I recently signed up(free), with the plan to become a paid member after I decided if I liked it. Received a message from the company telling me they have reviewed my profile, and couldn't approve one of the changes and to please update my profile. No information as to what couldn't be approved(no idea). They threatened to delete my profile if I did not update my profile. I saved them the time, and deleted it myself. Won't be using them again. Sad!

Too expensive, women don't respond at all, Their "recommendations" are all 400+ miles away.

Fake profiles and terrible customer satisfaction! I could see within minutes of signing up that eharmony had nothing to offer myself, asked for money back. EHarmony has been a total waste of money, disgusting company!

The site is trash. The profiles are mostly unactive or fake. One out of 30 actually communicate, and the communication of half of those seem like bots and not people.

It’s a terrible website, there no options to find guy for relationships. Bad looking man with bottle of beer. I was use the website couple days and didn’t find anything interesting left it. When I registered I paid 6 months membership, and after 6 months not using it, they automatically subscribed me for one year and started changing my bank account $580. I call them to cancel that membership which I never give my agreement and they says that I owe them money. This website scams people for money. Be patient before giving them your personal information!!!

Way too expensive for what it says it offers. Customer service is nonexistent. It’s really a cash grab.

They say it's free and it's not. Couldn't finish quiz because of errors in data...there were none. Impossible to get help. I gave up.

Most profiles don't even have a photo, and those that do are often inactive. I sent messages to 6 matches scoring 106 - 114 compatibility - all within 50 miles of where I live. Not one even read the message, which means they also didn't look at my profile. That tells me the accounts are either inactive and eHarmony still display their profile to compensate for all of those that have no photos and have not paid to register, which is about 60%. A depressing, discouraging website that has become nothing more than a scam.

I can tell you from experience that it used to be a good dating site. I almost signed up recently, but something in my spirit told me not too. I knew there were negative reviews, but I did not know about the ones I have read here. I believe all your stories are true and I'm sorry you all have had to go through this. If you go online and search for articles on eHarmony, you will see the reasons why Neil Clark Warren (who started the site) stepped down. He was bullied by the social agenda to include a "small group of people" with loud voices. Once he did, the Christians on the site could no longer give their money to a site that went against their biblical conscience. The member numbers soon after began to plummet and I'm pretty sure that is why Neil Clark Warren felt forced to resign. Which then it was left to the crooks who are in charge of it now. You can read about it in the articles.

They billed me $145.97 in January and $145.97 in February and were going to continue to do so, long after I have canceled the subscription. They "waived" the next two bills that they were planning on charging me for the same amount. I want my $291.94 back and they wont return it. I am beyond pissed off.

I got zero dates during my one year subscription. I got lots of lookers, but generally, the men didn’t respond to messages, compliments, or smiles within the app. I’ve gone from cheerful to feeling rejected as a result of my experience on eharmony.

The service is not worth the money. It is not geared towards people in their mid to upper 30s or early 40s. It allows people to lie about their age. There is a very small group of actual real people looking for relationships.

As above. Having gone through the sign up process all was good until trying to sign in whereby the site sends through a security code to prove its you. The problem was every time I tried inputting this it would not accept it. I’ve tried numerous times to contact and get a resolution to this issue but to no avail so I’ve now given up 🤷🏻‍♂️

eHarmony is barely passable as a messaging service and it doesn't even have as many members to pick from as the last party I went to.... They overcharge to provide basic services and don't provide anything past the bare necessities of a dating app.

If i can put 0 star, i would. Even waaayyy lower than that. They refuse to refund my payment. I requested cancellation within 48 hours of purchase. Turns out the 3-day no obligation thing only applies to certain states in the US. That was my bad for not noticing that. However, if their T&C was written better and is not intentionally misleading, i would have NEVER EVEN PURCHASED. I thought i'd give a laid site a try since i have used free ones for the past years. I thought maybe it's time to use a paid site and maybe i would get better chances of finding a match. Nope. Never again. This website completely made me very skeptic of paid dating sites. I have had my eyes on this site for a long time and i had actually endorsed it to some friends. But now, they want to get my $300+ for a service that i no longer want after only 48 hours of being on the site. I dont even care if they keep my first month's pay. I think it's only fair if they keep it. They can even keep the first 3 months of discounted price. But to keep charging me for the rest of the year for a service i CLEARLY DO NOT WANT ANYMORE, this is just robbery. I do not trust this website at all and i will make sure that people know how opportunistic this website is.

This was a very expensive mistake on my part. First, I live in a heavily populated metropolitan area and the number of women within 45 miles was next to nil. Second, after taking the time to sincerely answer 70+ questions, the matches I received were not a match for me. I am heavy into physical fitness and I was being matched with women 70-100lbs over weight who had no interest in fitness. Not saying this is a bad thing, but just the matching algorithms are poor to say the least. Third, the activity on this site in my area was really bad. A lot of old profiles with little to no activity. After a couple of weeks on this site, I can see why. This site is a borderline scam. If they stood behind their product and offered a no questions asked money back guarantee, they would be out of business tomorrow.

As a Canadian I joined Eharmony 2.5 months ago. In all that time they gave me 7 matches: 3 lived in the U.S. and during Covid-19, the borders were closed, 3 had no photos and barely any profile, and 1 was 5 years younger than me. During the same time I had 37 matches on Elite Singles. Eharmony customer service gave me stock answers to my specific requests and no help.

Terrible. Very few matches (for Canadians anyway). I tried to cancel my subscription on the first day and they refused. They wouldn’t even offer a partial refund. Customer support basically told too bad for you. This is a horrible company, to refuse a refund after less than 24hours speaks to the kind of people that run this company.

Absolutely shady site, sneaky and greedy. In their wish to attract more users they don't police their own platform, so it's full of scammers and there are very few real members. The pool of people is larger on Seek4Her.com There is more activity, women are sweeter and more sociable, every profile has photos. I still trust only those women who I can see in live video chat, but luckily there is a vast selection of such women there. Anyway, EHarmony is nothing compared to it and I'm done with them. After I cancelled they added two unauthorized charges. Be wary of this dishonest company!

eHarmony will steal your money. Last year on 6th November I signed up for a 6month membership with eHarmony ($107.70) , they stored my credit card details and 5days ago they charged me $430 for an automatic renewal without even notifying to me in any way. I contacted them twice 2 days ago and they refuse to offer any solution. I dont think it should be legal to get money from customers by storing their credit card details, hide in the T&C that there is an automatic renewal, not notifying the customer when the renewal is about to happen or happened and charge 4 times the original price for the renewal.
