All you need to know about Zoosk: Test reports, experiences, tips and advice on Zoosk in the UK.

Zoosk is a renowned and internationally popular flirting app. Its success comes from the fact that it uses what is known as 'behavioural matchmaking'; while other dating sites use psychological tests and questionnaires to undertake partner searches, Zoosk uses a unique self-learning algorithm which analyses the member's behaviour on the app. This behaviour is then evaluated, and matches are sent to the user. The matches become more and more accurate over time, due to the fact that it is constantly learning about what you like and dislike as you use it.

Zoosk has been on the market for years, and today is considered one of the more reputable dating apps out there. It is constantly being improved by numerous engineers and new technology, as the developers strive to improve and develop what the app offers.

Zoosk quickly became one of our favorites when it comes to dating apps. The Zoosk app provides many open, friendly and active users, and a wealth of extremely interesting functions that simply aren’t provided by any other dating app. It’s a decidedly strong ‘thumbs up’ from us for Zoosk!

There are plenty of fascinating functions within Zoosk that one should consider when thinking about this question. - SmartDates are impressively, increasingly accurate partner suggestions generated by Zoosk which are produced by evaluating the behaviour of the members on the app. By evaluating these behaviours, Zoosk will daily suggest members that you should connect well with right away. - The MegaFlirt function allows you to send interesting questions to countless members instantly. The answer rate tends to be pretty high - ideal for newbies or those feeling a little shy! - Insights: Probably the coolest aspect of the app: Zoosk shows you what it recognizes in regards to your behavior on the app. For example, you will find out more about what kind of men or women you are typically interested in - you’ll learn about the characteristics and things which your contacts have in common; a fascinating and unique feature.

Zoosk coins give users the opportunity to unlock special features, without having to subscribe. The coins are bought in bulk (they’re available in hauls of either 1,800, 480 or 180), and with them, you can unlock features such as knowing when your sent messages have been received, or putting your profile in the spotlight, thus making it more visible and at the top of search results.

Zoosk presents are another nice feature for members in the UK. You need Zoosk coins to buy them, but they can be a great way to grab the attention of somebody you like the look of. Typical presents include virtual chocolates, diamonds, flowers, wine, or teddy bears.

The SmartDate feature is the self-learning algorithm which Zoosk is known for. Zoosk analyses and evaluates all of member’s interactions within the flirting app, and uses this information to lead the member to the partners which they are most likely to connect with well. The results can be accessed every day, in the form of a tailored partner suggestion via SmartDate.

Unfortunately, you cannot. You are only able to use Zoosk in the UK once you are registered. Only once you complete the registration process are you able to set up a free profile.

You are not required to pay when signing up with Zoosk. You can set up a profile and scroll through the profiles of other uses free of charge. However, if you want to start flirting and exploring the site’s features, you’ll have to register for a fee-paying membership.

Signing up and making a profile on Zoosk are free, as is the option to search and browse profiles. On top of this, you can use the MegaFlirt feature, and send winks without having to pay, as well as use the carousel feature and rate other member’s pictures. By doing this, you can earn Zoosk coins, which may allow you to buy and send virtual gifts to those you like the look of. However, as soon as you want to get an answer from a member, or write a message, you have no choice but to sign up for a premium, fee-paying membership. The free functions give you a great opportunity to get a feel for the site and find out if it works for you, so give it a go and see for yourself!

Zoosk offers a number of ways to pay for a premium membership: credit or debit card, bank transfer, and PayPal are also accepted.

Yes, a credit card is not necessary when it comes to unlocking the premium functions of Zoosk. You can pay with PayPal, or even transfer money directly from your personal bank account.

At present, Zoosk does not have a customer service hotline. However, they are easily contactable via email, using the email address service@zoosk.com. On top of this, you can speak to a customer service rep through the app itself, which is perhaps easier as the person you are speaking to can automatically see your membership details.

As with almost all other flirting sites, the key to success with Zoosk is to stay active. If you go onto the app only expecting other people to write you, you won’t find much success in the world of online dating. It is also of utmost importance to have a well-crafted, sensibly put together profile. Take a bit of time to fill out your profile completely, and try to keep in mind the following: Don’t take yourself too seriously - this is a turn-off for most. Instead, have a little bit of humor if you’re entering the flirting game. If you top this off with a good profile image, you’ve got great chances! Curiosity and intrigue are your allies, so make sure you photos show you as an interesting, dynamic person, and invite other members to ask you questions based on these images.

At the moment, there aren’t any discounts or specials for Zoosk in the UK.

The price for Zoosk all depends on how much time you take out your subscription for. The most affordable premium membership begins at £11.99 per month (6 month subscription). For a one month membership, you will pay £22.74.

The sad fact of online dating is that there are always some fake profiles; it’s an unavoidable reality. Most of the fakes on Zoosk are profiles of women who want to sell erotic services, or redirect members to a paid platform.

There’s a good rule of thumb with online dating: if it looks too good to be true, approach with caution. Fakes are pretty easy to spot - they have photos which are either too professional-looking, or show women who are far more attractive than average, and on top of this, fakes will never want to meet in reality. In general, all they want is to take advantage of desperate members and to try and make a quick buck. So stay well away from anybody who wants your cash!

The Zoosk app has essentially the same functions as the desktop version. It doesn’t matter whether you register for the app on your phone, laptop, or tablet, you can later download and use the Zoosk app on all of your devices with the same password.

This all depends on how you purchased your subscription or premium membership. If you did this via the website, you can cancel quite easily through your profile settings. Likewise, if you subscribed via the iPhone or Android app, you can terminate your subscription via your app store.

Do keep in mind that deleting your app does not mean you have cancelled your subscription. Deleting the app and cancelling your subscription are separate actions, and before you delete the app from you phone, you should ensure that you’ve canceled your subscription to stop it from automatically renewing, and to avoid any nasty suprises down the line.
