Is Hily Dating app free to use, or is it mostly paywalled?

The Play listing describes Hily as free, but the reviews here strongly suggest that the free experience feels very limited to many users. Reviewers repeatedly say basic dating actions such as seeing likes, viewing certain profiles, matching, messaging, filtering, and using “unblur” features are pushed behind subscriptions or extra purchases.

Based on these reviews, a prospective user should not assume that “free” means they can test the full dating experience before paying.

app is Basically unusable. every feature of the app is hidden behind a pay wall. I have a ton of matches but I can't access them because I need to pay to see them and swipe on them.

Have to pay for literally, every single little thing. Would give 0 stars if possible I just had to update my review because they replied to me and said that all core features are free, which is a deliberate lie 🤡

Is Hily Dating app Premium worth paying for?

The paying-user reviews in this sample are mostly negative. Several reviewers say Premium still left important features limited or required more money, especially around seeing likes and unblurring profiles. Others say they paid and still got few replies, suspected bots, or no meaningful benefit.

The safest reading of these reviews is that Premium should not be expected to unlock a complete or reliably useful dating experience.

I've been in Hily for a few weeks and have been able to successfully get several matches. Most matches never reply to any messages. It also seems that a lot of profiles are bots meant as filler. I've also subscribed and the features are not worth it. Two unblurs per day, not enough for the account you pay. You do get other features unlocks, but ones that are rarely used and just a waste of time. I highly recommend not using this app.

honestly terrible even if you get premium you can't see who liked you and asks for more money. you don't actually get anything from premium absolutely terrible app with too many glitches and just terrible human interface. (edit: I've seen nothing but negative responses in the reviews but this app somehow has a high rating possibly using bots to increase rep.

horrible, premium is useless, it doesn't add any difference, and it's labeled in a way that suggests weekly payment instead of the entire amount at once, they also refuse refunds for it beingused for less then half hour. it's filled with bots, you can't even see if you match without paying, and it's a cash scam. do not recommend.

Does Hily Dating app have fake profiles, bots, or AI accounts?

Reviewers frequently allege that Hily contains fake profiles, bots, AI accounts, catfish, or inactive filler profiles. The reviews cannot prove how the accounts are created, but the pattern they describe is consistent: users see likes or matches, spend unblurs or pay for Premium, then get no replies or see profiles that appear fake.

If fake-profile risk is a deciding factor for you, these reviews are a serious warning sign.

Infested with bots and fake accounts. You can report them all the live long day and they never go away. Every time I used a "boost" I would get numerous likes from gorgeous women. Whenever I would like them back and open a conversation, they never respond. Ever. Yet they liked me? Also the unblur system is highly predatory. Even at the highest sub tier you only get 2 a day and they never roll over. Don't believe the ads. This app is all hype, no substance.
★☆☆☆☆Hily Dating app: Meet & Date · 2026-08-05 · 1 found this helpful
Actual Scam To be clear: this is not about rejection or a lack of attention. Quite the opposite. This app is infested with bots and catfish. First, the app is overmonetized. Everything, including the ability to "Unblur" profiles that view or like your profile, has been turned into a microtransaction. The bots make up 90% of all engagement, using up your items so you'll buy more. Once your profile gets any amount of traction, it gets locked behind Premium, meaning it is hidden from most users.
★☆☆☆☆Hily Dating app: Meet & Date · 2026-08-07 · 1 found this helpful
It's in the terms and conditions that there are fake accounts and I got a like before I was even finished making my account. Trust me, I'm not that attractive... EDIT: You can ignore the liar who responded. The terms clearly refer to "test" accounts that are not real people. You can read it for yourself.

Do people actually reply on Hily Dating app?

A major complaint is that users get likes or matches but do not get real conversations. Several reviewers say they messaged many matches and received no replies, including after paying. One reviewer gave a more mixed view and said the app itself was not necessarily bad, but still found the response rate discouraging.

For someone judging Hily by actual conversations rather than likes, the recent review evidence is poor.

how is that ive sent no less than 50 messages, with zero responses. as a premium account holder im confident Hilly is feeding us AI and Bots. there's no way, I've messaged over 50 women with ZERO responses! 0 ! all double ✔️✔️ read seen recieved with NO responses. Feeling Scammed and Cancelling No thanks I canceled on my own.
★☆☆☆☆Hily Dating app: Meet & Date · 2026-08-10 · 1 found this helpful
paid for premium. matched with 10-20 people. 0 response from anyone. feels like tons of bots and filler accounts.
★☆☆☆☆Hily Dating app: Meet & Date · 2026-08-15 · 1 found this helpful
Just don't. after spending way to much time and money on this app it is absolutely a scam. I have had over 20 matches. After sending every single one a message I haven't received 1 reply. The messages were something genuine and easy to reply to. Like a question about a picture or something on there profile. Something simple to get a conversation started and not creepy or cringe. This app is a complete waste of time

How does Hily Dating app’s unblur feature affect likes and matches?

Reviewers describe unblur as a central point of frustration. Likes can appear blurred, and users say they must subscribe or pay more to reveal them. Paying does not seem to remove that complaint for many reviewers, because they still describe limits or extra charges after subscribing.

  1. A user sees likes, views, or profiles that are blurred.
  2. The app prompts the user to use Premium, Premium+, credits, or unblur items to reveal them.
  3. If the revealed profile is fake, inactive, far away, or not interesting, the unblur is effectively wasted.
  4. Some reviewers say this makes the app feel more like a paid gamble than a normal dating match system.
premium is pointless, with the app offering the least amount for paying out of any app out there. The most basic feature of being able to match with people who liked you is restricted to 2 people a day! 100 people could like you for all you care but you can only "unblur" (aka see the pictures of who liked you) 2 times a day and unlock the ability to match them (can't match without unbluring). Besides that, I got like 20 matches and not a single reply, so guessing everyone is deleting this app
★☆☆☆☆Hily Dating app: Meet & Date · 2026-08-03 · 2 found this helpful
Extremely predatory pricing. I hate that it's just "gameified dating." Too many bots, and with only 2 unblurs a day, it's a gamble whether or not you're going to reveal someone you actually want to connect with. I'll also add that the unblurs are basically the same as loot boxes that you get in some video games, except the loot is people. But hey, I guess we're all adults here, and it's your money so spend it however you want. (But maybe not on this app.)

Are Hily Dating app ads annoying or hard to close?

Yes, several reviewers specifically complain about ads. The most serious complaints are that ads appear during swiping, require interaction, cannot be closed normally, open Google Play, or promote dodgy-looking third-party apps.

The ad complaints are not just about seeing ads in a free app; reviewers describe ads interfering with basic use.

holy adware every 5 swipes there's an ad and you cant x them out it's highly obnoxious. besides that its aight
★★☆☆☆Hily Dating app: Meet & Date · 2026-08-01 · 1 found this helpful
I don't mind dating apps using ads, but the way this app does it is predatory. They don't show you an ad, and then allow you to continue after it's done playing. For a majority of the ads, they force you to interact with them in order to continue. They can easily sell click through rate to advertisers because they force it. They also show ads based on an amount of swipes, left or right. This means they're incentivised to intentionally show you bad profiles so they can get more ads in.

Despite completing daily quests like reactions I now go many days with out a single view. Also 3rd party advertising keeps using broken ads that break app can't be closed and force open playstore instead of allowing an x to close. I have to fully close app each ad.

Does Hily Dating app show nearby matches and respect distance filters?

Reviewers repeatedly say Hily shows people outside their chosen distance or in other regions. Some also say they ran out of local profiles or had very few nearby users. A review does mention that the visible range can be nice, but the complaints about filters and distance are much more specific.

If local dating is important, these reviews suggest you may see profiles that are too far away or outside your preferred area.

Apps actually really bad. Two different kinds of premium. There's "Popular" people that require you to buy premium. I mean if they're popular why would I waste my time. The range distance DOES NOT WORK. I am in GTA area. I keep getting women from Quebec. 6-11hrs away. I'm going to save my own time and just uninstall. I decreased my review to one star. Forgot to mention there's ads between swipes. Nobody ever responds to messages. And the one "Match" I got just so happened to be a bot.

- You have to pay for basic things, such as viewing someone's profile after they like yours. - The Daily Roulette Wheel is blatantly rigged to only give you useless stuff, so you still have to pay for what you actually need (see above). - Your profile will seemingly still be shown to people who don't match your filters, or are outside your set radius. - Had to email support just to create an account because it wouldn't even send the verification text.

literally nobody is on this app. I haven't matched with a single person and I've had it for weeks. I keep running out of people. it keeps showing me people in a different province, I can't travel. this app is dead, unless you're in Quebec I guess...

Does Hily Dating app have glitches or technical problems?

Some reviewers report technical problems, including app glitches, broken ads, account verification issues, and features that stopped working after an update. The technical complaints are mixed into broader complaints about pricing and bots, but they are specific enough to matter before installing.

The reviews do not show one single universal bug; they point to several different reliability problems.

If I could vote zero Stars I would, I have several issues with this app. #1 Being on the app has caused my phone to periodically glitch out, my entire screen goes rainbow, until I turn my phone off and turn it back on. #2 Premium subscription doesn't give you unlimited messages or let you see who sent you likes. #3 Take turns messaging is the worst way to chat. #4 I'm convinced that there may be many bot accounts. after using Hilly for 3 months, I still haven't received a single response.

app isn't functioning correctly... actually not impressed
★★☆☆☆Hily Dating app: Meet & Date · 2026-08-07 · 3 found this helpful
this is really about getting you to be on it, not actually make connections or even conversations. you message someone, even spend on the rewards...entire conversation with thst person is gone along with their profile. you may find thst person again through endless likes...but the process repeats itself. since the update, can't use crush button. this app has really gotten worse than already was

Can you permanently delete a Hily Dating app account or stop billing easily?

The review sample has fewer comments on deletion and billing than on paywalls and bots, but the comments it does have are concerning. One reviewer says the app only allowed deactivation rather than permanent deletion. Others complain that billing was hard to stop or that a refund was refused after a short use period.

The reviews do not provide a reliable fix or step-by-step cancellation path; they only flag that account control and billing can be frustrating for some users.

they dont let you permanently delete account. only deactivate

Can you turn off Hily Dating app notifications?

One detailed review says Hily kept sending unwanted notifications even after the reviewer changed the in-app notification settings to a smaller set of alerts. The sample does not include a confirmed workaround.

This is not as widely discussed as paywalls or fake profiles, but it is a concrete complaint if notification control matters to you.

The notifications are ridiculous and make this app not worth it. it gives you constant notifications that you can't stop. Close the app? Notification. Someone simply views your profile? Notification. Nothing happens? Notification for no reason. I changed my notification setting in the app to likes, matches, and messages, THATS IT. Even though I selected ONLY THOSE THINGS for notifications, I was still inundated with notifications that I don't care about and selected setting to turn off.
