Here's What Users Dislike The Most About The Plenty Of Fish Dating App

One of the main reasons why Plenty of Fish is so popular is because there is a large pool of users to connect with for free. According to Dating Site Reviews, POF users are 2.7 times more likely to begin a conversation with someone within the first 24 hours of connecting when compared to other dating sites. However, because it's so easy to create an account and messaging is free, it allows more fake and spam accounts to actively send messages to users. This is a huge issue with the platform, per Dating Mentor. However, they also note that POF takes action immediately against fake profiles, eliminating them from the platform rather quickly.

Another drawback users have found when using POF is that although it is free, additional features require a paid subscription. These features include seeing who likes you, uploading additional photos beyond the eight your free account holds, and removing advertisements (via Top Ten Reviews). Also, according to Statistica, POF is used mainly by daters between the age of 45 and 54, so younger users may not find a match as quickly.
