Chispa: Dating App for Latinos 17+

***My Review Before***/ Update Below**
I signed up for this app because I finally wanted to put myself out there and meet someone latino. I created my profile and browsed through some potentials. I was even starting to chat. The images that I posted were recent pictures of myself that were very decent and not lewd at all, I’m a mother and try to keep myself classy. Within maybe 2 hours after creating the account, I decide to sign up for a 1 month trial. Chispas then disabled my account out of nowhere. I sent them an email and after what seemed like a week, they replied back saying my account will be terminated without really explaining why, only to view “terms of use”. Now I’m out 20 bucks and didn’t get a chance to meet anyone in the app. Maybe it is a good app but I will never get that experience to find out. I signed up just because finally i was feeling brave and wanted to meet someone. I don’t do dating apps and Chispas just shattered that experience.

***Update***
After I wrote this review, I rep wrote back to me and finally help me resolve the issue. I’ve met someone from the App and so far we are doing great. I’m happy and definitely recommend the app!!

Hi there, we would like to take a closer look at your account! Please send us a message at appreviews@chispa-app.com with the phone number and username associated with your account. We look forward to assisting you!

I was expecting a little more with using this app but I know it's still in the early stages. I wish I could undo some of the right swipes on this app since I accidentally swipe right instead of being able to scroll through the pictures. I also wish there was a picture minimum instead of having just one picture posted with no bio since that makes it incredibly difficult to want to swipe on those profiles. I would love to see that a bio is required before posting your profile for the world to see since I'm only seeing just profiles with one picture and no content. I also wish that with upgrading, the likes that I saw didn't disappear unless I upgraded to the "Elite". I totally understand paying a little extra to gain access to more features, but honestly it doesn't make me want to continue the app if I can't see at least one of the profiles of those who like me at a time. I do like that they have a "Keeping Safe" article which I think is super helpful! Also can we link our Instagram and not just our Facebook? I would also love to have a feature where we can choose our preference and the distance as well. I also have Hinge and I guess I'm pretty used to their features, but I want to support my Raza and continue to use this dating app. I like how it has us choose our background which is a cool concept! The bugs also need fixing with notifications, showing that I have "likes" but they disappeared completely. Overall, it's a great start!

This app is mediocre at best. While the layout of the app is okay, there are some things that would really improve it. For example, one small thing is having the text wrap around when someone writes their education and occupation in, so you can see the full text they’ve written. Another small thing is making the “About Me” section you can write in the same as the one that gets presented to potential matches. The layout of the words isn’t consistent when switching between editing the profile and simply viewing the profile. It’d also be nice to add the feature of the “enter button” or ability to skip a line when writing an “about me”. Within the settings, there needs to be a way to turn off all notifications besides messages. Lastly, you should have the option to set your location to one place and select the maximum distance of which you would like to meet people. Not everyone is staying where they are in the current moment and sometimes want to meet someone close to where they live instead of where they currently are. A person’s city should be shown, not just the miles because you don’t know which direction the person might live in. If it’s a matter of privacy, maybe hide the person’s name until after they match, or have each person’s distance in relation to major cities instead. As a bonus, you could also consider asking prompt questions.

Hey Taria95! Thank you for your feedback! We truly value your suggestions and will add them to our list of ways to make Chispa even better! As for a location filter, we are planning on adding this feature in the near future! Stay tuned for what's to come! 🙂
