I’m amazed that there aren’t more reviews commenting on the fields that need to be filled in before you can use this app. I mean, intrusive doesn’t begin to cover it. I squeaked past ‘what is your annual income’ and ‘how long was your longest relationship’ with only a moderate sense of nausea, notwithstanding the fact that far too many of these categories lacked a ‘prefer not to say’ option. ‘How many siblings have you’ and ‘which of you was the first-born’ ramped up the ante, but for me the question regarding the marital status of your PARENTS (!) pushed things a little too far. (Are they together? Divorced? Has one or the other of them died, perhaps?) These things are none of your business, POF, nor are they the business of anyone else, unless I choose to make it so, and that decision is made on an individual basis. It’s a dating app, and not a particularly high quality one, at that. I would strongly advise anyone thinking of using this app to look elsewhere, whatever it may be that you’re looking for. Very few things in life are worth surrendering this amount of private information about yourself, let alone revealing it indiscriminately to others through some five-and-ten-cent app. Needless to say I never completed the sign-up process. I’d rather be that lonely old person discovered half eaten by feral voles in a damp flat than yield my details to Plenty of Phish. Sorry, Fish.
