Ishq
ISHQ, an invite-only community for high intentioned South Asians. Ishq is a dating app for the South Asian population who are looking for their person. Ishq requires prospective members to apply, after which the Ishq team sets up calls with each applicant to learn more about them. This vetting process is unique to our app, and allows us to maintain a very high quality of profiles on the app. After being accepted into the Ishq community, you'll be free to sign into the app and set up your profile. Here are some unique features that are not found in the stale space of South Asian dating apps: Focus on just one: Match with one person at a time, so you can really focus instead of balancing multiple matches Schedule time to chat, face to face: Messaging back and forth can lead to breaks in continuity, so we've implemented a mechanism to schedule FaceTime calls with your match. In-depth profiles: The prompts on Ishq are meant to get you thinking about yourself and communicate who you really are, what your values are, and what you're looking for. Subscription Info: Payment will be charged to Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions may be managed and auto-reneweal may be turned off by going to Account Settings after purchase.

This is a count of what reviewers wrote, not a finding about the company.
Store average: 4.0, which also counts ratings with no written review
The app does not update profiles already seen or liked in the past, so essentially you will have to scroll down multiple times to find profiles you may not have seen!
Please dont download the app. I dont understand why there is an aggregate of 4 star reviews when there are so many 1 star reviews. They make you pay before you even bold a profile. And there are bare...
Based on my experience, the platform did not feel worth the subscription cost. Many of the profiles appeared unusually generic or inactive, which gave me the impression that some may have been created...
To be paying for an app, there are way less people to even be able to match with. Why is the point of this app?
I tried the app for one month… But within the first couple of days, I had no options to swipe based off of my very minimal criteria. Either a lot of people do not use this app or the app just does not...
Theres not enough people on the app for enough matches. Had a profile for over a month and I got zero matches. I dont even think I’m uninteresting or low effort, the matchmaking is just so bad.
Complete waste of money and time. I think every account on this app are either bots or inactive.
Filters only allow you to search by age and religion. You cannot search by filter. Expected more from a paid membership.
First up, they charge you $30 (as a monthly recurring payment) to make a profile. Then once you make a profile, they force you to share the app three times before you can use the profile. I’ve been o...
Do NOT recommend this app. The founders completely ghost after trying to get you to pay. They don't account for your preferences at all, and genuinely do not care about users. Avoid this platform; the...
You’re forced to pay $30 a month to even use the app and have less features than apps that require the same payment. You can’t set distance you’re stuck with what you get. Only thing you can select is...
This is by far the worst dating app I have ever used. The profile setup process is frustratingly slow, and there is no option to skip sections that you may not want to complete immediately. The app m...
I rarely leave reviews, but I felt genuinely disappointed after paying $30 for one month on this app. The onboarding process is unnecessarily long and frustrating. The questionnaire takes forever beca...
I wasn’t able to access this app without paying FIRST.. a free trial for even a day would’ve been acceptable. $20 for a week and $30 for the month without deciding if you like the app or not isn’t wor...
i was on the app for a very short time only and soon heard rumors in the desi community that the creators of the app read through the user’s chats and try to influence their decisions of being with so...
Horrible app, at least on hinge I would get a few likes but this app is not worth the money at all. I went on every day and liked at least 2 profiles per day (they only show you 3/day). I kept seeing ...
The idea behind this app is great. But the execution has been bad. I’ve been on the app since it first launched, and have often given the founders advice, but it doesn’t seem like they have listened. ...
lots of my friends are on this app. works well and devs respond fast. and of the people there they're incredibly down to earth and attractive. for an app that markets itself as "exclusive" it's quite ...
no one is on this app. doesn’t work. and of the people there they’re incredibly unattractive. for an app that markets itself as “exclusive” it’s really just a disappointment
I've been using this app for a few months now, UI is solid, but glitchy. The main issue with the app is that you have to pay to even use the app which should support the narrative that genuine peopl...
I want to validate the overall theory and structure of the app: it’s comforting to know that each person is only talking to each other, it feels very intentional (especially when you FT right away), y...
I can tell Ishq is designed to attract people who want to date with intention, which I really like about & is different from other dating apps
I would say the app is okay. Def not a 5-star currently but room for improvement. Right off the bat, I was a little turned off that the subscription is quite high…I thought the point of being differ...
I first learned about Ishq several months ago and loved their concept. It’s truly geared around seriously dating. The user interface is sleek and easy to use. I have not had any issues with it. Schedu...
Honestly, ISHQ is a game-changer. It’s super exclusive, so you know the people on here are serious and not just wasting time. I love how it’s all about South Asians looking for real connections. The w...
I love their slogan “Date with high intention” I love how the profile prompts are deeply rooted which allows one another to understand a person’s personality and values and gauge compatibility much mo...
The idea for this app sounds great on paper but is greatly limiting. There’s no way to set distance preference. Prompts are pretty limited and simple and only one profile per photo IMO isn’t represent...
Do not install - you will sadly get locked in. I emailed twice and have not got a response on whether my account was deleted. Would give negative million stars over this.
It sounds like a good concept to limit matches etc. I tried it for a week, but the majority of suggested matches were younger than me and a different religion than my preferences. If you’re Hindu and ...
