Presenting Zoosk

Zoosk claims to have over 40 million active users, which is a pretty high number. What does such a big number mean? It means there’s plenty of fish in this sea! With such a large user base, you won’t need to wait long in order to get talking to someone interesting. Let’s start off this Zoosk review by having a look at how this sexting app works, and how to sign up.

How does Zoosk work?

When you start using Zoosk, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with all the different functions of the site. But to give you an idea of how the site works, it’s bascially a very easy to use dating site. When you log on, the first thing you’ll see is a picture of a girl (or a guy) in your area, and you can choose whether to send a like if you think they’re cute, or click the cross if you’re not interested.

As you click through, new pictures will pop up, and you can “like” those that interest you and wait and see if any of them like you back. Check out the tabs on the left of the screen too, where the online now, “Smart Pick” and carousel options are. These are all different ways of scrolling through potential partners and finding a match, so make sure to check each of the tabs out.

Zoosk review: how to sign up and create a profile

To start using Zoosk, first, you’ll need to click on the link below. When you land on the homepage, simply select your gender and gender preference, input your age, email address and password, and confirm. After this, you’ll need to give Zoosk a few details about yourself: upload a profile picture, confirm whether you have children or not, what your level of education is, as well as your ethnicity, height, smoking status, and what you’re looking for on Zoosk (friendship, casual dating, hookups, etc).

After that, you just have to confirm your email and you’re all set!

 

Zoosk review: main features

So you’ve signed up and figured out how the platform works. But there’s still so many cool features to discover on Zoosk! For the next part of my Zoosk review, i’ll go over a few of my favourite features of the website and what they’re all about.

Carousel

The carousel feature was something I really liked: it’s sort of like a swiping feature where you can say yes or no to potential matches based on whether you think they’re hot. It’s quick, effective, and lots of fun! Overall I used this feature probably more than any other, I can just open the website or app whenever I like and flick through some hot girls and maybe get a few matches.

The carousel feature is really only as good as your profile picture: to have a lot of success on Zoosk, you’ll need an eye-catching profile picture that makes people want to say yes. Make sure to look sweet, approachable, and maybe even a little naughty.

Super Send

The “Super Send” feature is a pretty nifty addition to the Zoosk platform too: this handy tool allows users to send one single outgoing message to a huge audience, sort of like a megaphone calling out to any hot singles that want to have a little fun. The Super Send is a great way to broaden your horizons and chat with more people.

Better still, you get one Super Send free every day! So without even paying for an account, you can send out a message (from a selection of pre-written messages) and see if anyone gets back to you. Again, a hot profile picture will do half of the work for you in this situation also!

“SmartPick”

Zoosk SmartPick is a trademarked tool that you’ll only find on Zoosk, and it’s a good one! SmartPick adapts to your personal tastes, and uses your choices in the carousel to provide you with a list of partners that best suit your tastes. It’s a pretty sophisticated tool that I personally loved. What’s really great about SmartPick is that most websites rely on your input to tell them what you like, but sometimes, you just don’t know what you like, there’s just a certain quality about people that sparks your interest. SmartPick is created to help you find a partner that suits you perfectly, without having to even really know what you’re looking for – it does all the hard work for you!

 

The Zoosk smartphone app

One of the best things about Zoosk, is that it can be used on your computer, but also on your smartphone or tablet, thanks to the Zoosk app. During my time using Zoosk, I spent about half of my time browsing on the app. It’s been really practical to have a sort of mini, on-the-go Zoosk in my pocket for scrolling my carousel and keeping up with messages at any time of the day or night. Personally, I’d advise you to use both the app and the desktop version, since the website on a computer is much more enjoyable to use and allows you to really get a good look at users profiles, but the app is super simple and intuitive. The only downside is that I found myself staying up later than I usually would sexting pretty girls all night on my phone!

The Zoosk community

When it comes to community, Zoosk has a pretty good selection. Like we mentioned earlier, over 40 million people use Zoosk, which means there’s a lot to choose from. As you’ve probably figured out from the tone of this Zoosk review, it’s used by a lot of people looking for someone to have a naughty sexting session with. It’s extremely easy to find someone who’s open to talking, since there’s no danger of anyone’s feelings getting hurt, it’s just good fun. This being said, many of the users on Zoosk are looking for something a bit more real. If you’re interested in meeting a partner, finding the one, or even having a fling, Zoosk can help with that too – and you can also check out our favourite hookup sites if you’re looking to diversify.

zoosk community

When it comes to chatting to girls on Zoosk, let me first say I wasn’t disappointed with either the quality or the quantity of conversations. A huge amount of outgoing messages got replies, and most of them progressed into polite conversation. Even if they didn’t end up with sexting or hookups, I was stricken with how many women using Zoosk are open to chatting right away. Over the whole month, quite a few of these girls had some rather spicy conversations in my DMs, and a few even met up with me for a coffee. I’ll go into detail a bit later about my experiences with the women on Zoosk, but suffice it to say that the 40 million worldwide users do not disappoint.

Most of the user base are incredibly active too: I never had to wait more than a few hours for a reply, and that’s something I really appreciate, especially when I only planned to use Zoosk for a short while. In fact, even if you only pay for a month of Zoosk premium, it’s highly likely you’ll chat to a fair amount of interesting people.

Zoosk review: accounts and prices

As is the case with many dating websites, registration is free, but you won’t be able to use the site to its full potential without first taking out a subscription. Zoosk is pretty affordable, and even has a progressive pricing format (meaning the price decreases depending on how many months you subscribe for). Let’s have a look at what you can do on Zoosk for free, and what a premium account gets you.

Zoosk free account: what to expect

To put things simply, it’s difficult to use Zoosk without a subscription. Although as we have already mentioned, free users may use the carousel, search for partners and even send out a “Super Send” once a day, all messages are blocked unless you subscribe. To while technically you can use the platform for free, you won’t actually be able to start chatting without first taking out a subscription.

You can however entirely set up your profile, and send out as many “likes” as you want, all without spending a dime – so why not give it a go and see if you get any messages?

What do you get from Zoosk premium, and how much does it cost?

So if you want to really use Zoosk, you’ll need a subscription. Subscribing to Zoosk gets you a bunch of perks, and allows you to use the website seamlessly. When you take out a subscription, you’ll immediately be able to see who viewed your profile, use the “Smart Pick” function, and even use photo verification. All this, and of course, you’ll be able to send unlimited messages.

So how much does it cost, I hear you ask? Well, here’s a breakdown of Zoosk subscription prices, which we think are very fair considering the quality of the service and the size of the community.

zoosk premium

  • One month: €25.75
  • Three months: €17.42/month (total: €52.25)
  • Six months: €13.25/month (total: €79.50)

 

How does payment work on Zoosk?

First note that all pricing is subject to change, and these prices can’t be guaranteed. Paying for your subscription to Zoosk is super easy, since they accept payment via bank card, PayPal, Direct Debit and even through Android and iOS in the Zoosk app. Just select your plan, input your payment details, and you’re good to go!

Please note that all subscriptions will be automatically renewed at the end of each billing period unless you cancel first, so if you’ve already found a partner on Zoosk and want to quit using the website, remember to cancel before you get a surprise bill!

Zoosk review: pros and cons

Any good Zoosk review needs a concise list of the best and worst things about it. To decide what app to use when you’re looking for someone flirtatious to exchange messages with, you’ll need to weigh up the pros and cons and compare. Here are my favourite and least favourite things about Zoosk.

Pros
  • A huge community of over 40 million users
  • A very simple interface and modern design
  • The smartphone app that allows me to use Zoosk anywhere
  • Progressive pricing
  • Photo verification
Cons
  • Unable to send any messages without subscribing

 

My personal experience with Zoosk

As I promised earlier in this Zoosk review, I’d like to share a little bit about my own personal experiences using the website. Some of the conversations I had the pleasure of starting ending in some rather fun situations!

As I already mentioned, many of the girls I sent messages to answered me quickly – and of these girls a good number were open to some naughty sexting. I spend many hours chatting to hot girls in the Zoosk app, and even video chatted with a few of them. This was a lot of fun and felt really personal, not like watching a livestream or something, me and these girls were having conversations while naked on camera sometimes, it was super arousing honestly. Most women feel pretty safe just sticking to sexting, so they’re not reluctant to try usually. I’d say I had around 15 conversations that progressed to dirty talk over the whole month, which was pretty cool.

I also had a few hookups thanks to Zoosk – one if these started as a sexting partner who, after a few weeks, decided she wanted to bang my brains out – and bang she did. Some girls are just looking for sex right off the bat, so if you’re looking for some no-strings-attached fun, Zoosk can help with that too. I even went out for coffee with a few girls, like a regular date, and I’m seeing one of them again soon.

Overall I’d say the variety in experiences I had thanks to Zoosk says a lot about the website: whatever you’re looking for, you can find it here. There is no shortage of users, and there’s definitely something for everyone.

 

Zoosk review: what do users say?

Before I give you my final Zoosk review and verdict, lets first see what actual users of the service have to say. Heres a few reviews that I found useful.

As you can see, app user “Marinelli” actually met her husband through Zoosk – so I thought this review was important to mention. She only needed to subscribe for a month, and met true love thanks to Zoosk just one week before her subcription was due to end.

User Sstr3ss was also pretty happy with his time using Zoosk, but has a few key points to note. Although he was impressed with the response rate and features, he felt like there were a few too many fake profiles, and wishes there was a feature to indicate that you’re no longer interested in someone. However note this review isn’t the most recent, and photo verification has recently been added to Zoosk, which has greatly decreased the number of fake profiles and bots.

My Zoosk review final verdict

Well here we are, at the end of my Zoosk review, ready to give a final verdict – and you’ve probably guessed it’s a good one. My overall opinion is extremely positive, as I was impressed with pretty much everything Zoosk has to offer. From its features to its pricing and its huge community, Zoosk didn’t disappoint me once. There’s a few little details I think could be improved on, such as maybe offering a one-day trial for a small price (like BeNaughty (read our benaughty review) has for exemple), but overall this website is an amazing tool to find any kind of relationship you’re looking for. Whether you choose to use the app or the website, Zoosk is truly excellent, and I cannot reccommend it enough.
