## Review summary

User reviews paint Upward as a Christian dating app with useful filters, but plagued by ads, paywalls, and reliability problems. Frequent complaints include malfunctioning onboarding, login errors, and crashes; distance filtering that fails to prioritize nearby matches; the presence of fake/bot profiles and weak moderation raising safety concerns; and branding issues, with non-Christian profiles and ads undermining the Christian dating premise. While a minority report real connections when the service is working, the overwhelming sentiment is negative due to monetization, inconsistent matching, and limited free functionality.

### Pros

- Filtering options exist to tailor matches (distance and profile preferences).
- Some users report meeting people or finding a potential soulmate.
- When it functions, reviewers describe it as decent or even awesome.

### Cons

- Ads and paywalls: excessive advertising and expensive premium tiers; most features behind a subscription.
- Distance/location matching is unreliable or inaccurate, showing far-away profiles despite filters.
- Onboarding and reliability issues: trouble creating accounts, sign-in failures, and crashes.
- Fake profiles, bots, scams; weak moderation and safety concerns.
- Brand misalignment with Christian dating: Christian focus not delivered; marketing shows non-Christian markers and ads for other apps.
