Lovestruck Reviews - 2019

Lovestruck, is first and foremost a more traditional online dating site that allows you to sign up and search their pool of singles. This basically gives you free reign over who you can talk to, these sites will feel more crowded / give you more options compared to algorithm based dating sites. The general feeling of paid dating sites is that they attract people that are looking for longer terms relationships and something more than just a hook up, which is what free apps tend to attract.
Lovestruck claim to also have a matching engine in play that tracks your behaviour when you are logged in. They use the data gathered from this to bring you matches that it thinks will be of interest. Its a nice feature that does surface some profiles that I might have missed but 99% of the time, I'm using the advanced search to find women I'm interested in. 

Lovestruck have a pretty consistent membership cost and they are also the most active online dating site with offering discount codes and offers too, so my advice would be to go make sure I have a Lovestruck promo code live for you to use which will save you at least 20%. 

TOP TIP: Cancel Auto Renew as soon as you sign up! To do this you will need to email Lovestruck on team@lovestruck.com - you need to include your surname in the email. If you paid for your subscription via paypal you an cancel by logging into your paypal account and going to the 'recurring payments' section.

The upgrade options are tempting, I haven't used them personally, but we sometimes do feature free upgrade codes, so keep an eye out for them. I would suggest purchasing the standard membership first, you can always upgrade at a later date if you aren't finding success with the standard plan.

Don't fret about your bio etc, as you can change all aspects of your profile once you are signed up anyway...I know it takes me ages to try and figure out a witty one liner, or a decent intro bio.

You are free to use their advanced search filters right from the off, which is cool, you can see if there are members you would be interested in before signing up.

One thing that did concern me was that I had never added my location in, yet they were serving me matches by 'nearest' to me. Turns out they use either the location you set via the app or your IP address, which can be highly inaccurate. Because of this, I can't grab info to show you how popular the site is or compare men vs women numbers accurately.

Lovestruck also dont allow you to search by 'last logged in' date, which is sad - this would be a feature I'd like to see on all dating sites
(Update: It seems that you can see if a match was last logged in within  days, if not, then this info isn't available)

Having used Lovestruck for 3 months, I did meet with 3 women, all of which were lovely and I dont honestly know why things didn't move forward with one of them in particular....
All of the dates I met up with or spoke to were within 30 mins of London, which makes sense with their marketing and targeted adverts on the tube. 
Whether it was down to my targeting or the type of women I attract to my profile, but most of my matches seemed the professional type and a large majority of women that got in touch with me were of a foreign background. This isn't a complaint, just an observation and I guess if the site is targeted to London then the users are bound to be more diverse than those sites that have users from more rural places.

By just completing the questionnaire and making your profile, you get the below features for FREE - I always recommend signing up for a free account before paying so you can get a feel for the site.

I contacted Lovestruck to get a feel for their customer service and was pleasantly surprised. I received a reply within 10 minutes the first time and then subsequent emails were always less than 24 hours - so an A for effort on that front.
They were quite helpful with supplying tips on my account too and answered a few of my boring questions. I didn't contact using the phone line.

This was a bit confusing for me. I saw the Lovestruck tube ads that say you can get a free trial by visiting their site /tube, but when I tried it out, I cant see that I got a free trial at all...just normal access to the site.
UPDATE: I contacted their support team and was told it had expired, even though the site messaging suggested otherwise. I did get an offer for a 3 day trial for £14.99 by talking to their customer service rep, seemed a bit steep though.
NOTE, you will need to add payment details in order to get the trial. IF YOU DO THIS PLEASE CANCEL YOU AUTO RENEW ASAP BY EMAILING THEM ON team@lovestruck.com

I scour the net to bring only the most up to date offers and discount for Lovestruck, so I hope the below codes help you save some money.
Im only human and will miss some, so if you happen to have a money saving trick or find a code, please head over to my Lovestruck London Voucher Codes page and leave it in the comments, its massively apprenticed - thanks guys!

Match is probably the most popular dating site in the UK due to the sheer number of users on their platform plus their middle of the road pricing. So comparing Lovestruck Vs match.com before signing up is probably something most people do, I thought giving a quick overview below would be helpful.
Both sites act as a traditional online dating site, whereby you are forced to search singles yourself, with Lovestruck also featuring a matching engine that tracks how you use the site to bring you more related profiles, but in all honesty, using the search functions are all I used during my time on the site.

LOVESTRUCK VS MATCH.COM VERDICT
​
Both sites have a good number o f users to search through (if you are London based, or dont mind the commute) Location will be a big player here. 
If you are outside of London, try Match or one of are other top dating sites.
If you are in or near London, then Lovestruck might be a good option. If you are open minded about the race, religion, ethnicity of your match then Lovestruck would be worth trying. Added to this, alot of users seemed profession focused, so if that is important to you aswell, then I would suggest you take a look at the site. If these factors aren't a deal breaker, then I would probably side with Match.com, especially if you are new to online dating. If you have used Match and want something different, read over some of our other dating site reviews to find something suitable.

I was impressed by the 'forward-thinkingness' of Lovestruck and their safety / verification process, which is one of the most advanced in the online dating world. Users that verify via different social platforms are clearly marked on search pages so you can be pretty sure these are real people, I also haven't received any fake messages (which are pretty easy to spot) so I would feel comfortable using / recommending the site to a friend / family member.
Lovestruck do not currently have a dedicated email address for reporting any users, but if you have issues, then please do email them at team@lovestruck.com to report anything untoward.
