LoopyLove Quick Review
LoopyLove is one of the Top 3 UK Dating sites and one of the world’s most visited web sites by Alexa Ranking. LoopyLove was launched February 14th 2003. It is owned by Allegran Limited, a company that sell advertising on content sites. As we already said LoopyLove is one of the leading UK dating sites and as result they have quite large database of profiles.
LoopyLove Profile Setup review
Profile registration at LoopyLove is fast and easy. It takes about 10 minutes to complete. After completing profile setup you’ll get standart personal ad. We need to note that profile is not so informative. Profile descriptiveness mostly depends on user desire to write about user personality. Personal ad page design could be more accurate and perfect in our point of view.
Site Navigation LoopyLove Review
LoopyLove site navigation is old fashioned and need immediate improvement. Mostly we did not like the way how search results are shown. You see short personal iformation and picture. But a lot of profiles has flowers, dogs or any other photos but user’s photo. We think that dating service should carry about this and do not allow such things. Photos are not pre-moderated and everyone can submit what he want and it is doing site very deterrent to use. LoopyLove design is also could be more modern. Old fashioned design with poor photos inside embarrass users. The only advantage in our navigation review - it is menu section placed on the left site of the page. You can reach any site section in one click.
Free Members Zone at LoopyLove review
Free member can browse and search for personals but you can not email anyone on site. You start off with 300 credits, can get more by uploading photo and receiving advertising emails as well as sms to your mobile but to be able to send at least one email you must have at least 500 credits. LoopyLove offer 3 ways of earning credits: - Uploading your picture to LoopyLove. Earn 100 Credits by going to My Profile to upload your picture.
- Referring friends to the site. Earn 25 Credits for referring your friends plus a bonus of 450 Credits for each one who goes on to register.
- Recording a LoopyLove voice greeting. Phone special phone number to record your voice message and earn 500 Credits when you activate the GreetingCode in My Profile. But after reviewing terms and conditions we found that this feature is paid. Look what they wrote in terms by small prints:”Calls to 0871 numbers are charged at the national rate. Calls to 09063 numbers cost 50p per minute and calls to 09052 numbers cost ?1.20 per minute at all times (BT Premium Rate).
As a free member you can complete Personality Assessment test. LoopyLove staff write that Personal Profile Analysis is not a test. There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers. Your responses will simply highlight your unique behavioral preferences. It helps to describe your personality but test form is not professionaly done.
Paid Pembers Zone at LoopyLove review
Membership packages allow you to send and receive as many messages as you want during your membership period giving you a chance of contacting matches on LoopyLove. There no paid members area so contacts is only one feature you are paying for. We find this back numbered for 5-6 years. Today dating services allows much more than just contact availability and view video wall with member clips even for a lower price.
LoopyLove Membership Cost and Payment Procedure Review
Payments are accepted by all major credit cards. LoopyLove offers membership packages:
- 3-day trial membership - J4.99
- Monthly membership - J19.99
- 3 Month membership - J29.99 (J10 per month)
- 12 Month membership - J99.99 (J8 per month)
Prices are in UK currency which is more expensive than US dollars. It means that membership cost is like higher than standart $19.95 per month. We consider that even $10 is too much for this kind of services.
LoopyLove Review of Disadvantages
In our point of view LoopyLove has very long list of disadvantages. We’ll try to list main disadvantages we have found:
- Poor old-fashioned design
- Bad photos quality and photos are not pre-moderated
- No features on site
- High membership price for nothing
- Profiles are not informative
- A lot of “dead” profiles
LoopyLove Review Advantages
- Members can leave voice message
- Large UK singles database
- Fast registration
LoopyLove Review Summary
We were totally dissapointed with kind of services LoopyLove provides. They must improve their dating to have success. This site will work only for beginners in online dating who have some free money to spend. We would recommend this site only for UK based members because international profile database is very small.
