Omi - Dating & Meet Friends is a large Android dating and social app from MatchUp UK Limited. Google Play lists more than 50 million downloads and a 3.4-star rating from about 744,000 reviews in the supplied snapshot.
It supports dating, friendship and casual social connections. The app also tries to stand out with voice chats, daily questions, personality-style quizzes and interest-based matching.
There is a useful free tier. Several features that make dating apps easier to use are paid. Supplied user reviews tied to older 7.x versions also raise billing and account-access concerns, so a careful trial is a better idea than an instant subscription.
Omi is built for more than dating
The app lets you browse profiles using location, interests and other profile details. You can set basic preferences such as age range, gender and distance. You then swipe through suggested people and wait for a mutual match.
Omi also presents itself as a place to find friends or casual conversation. That wider purpose may help people who don't want every interaction to feel like a serious dating search. Your results will still depend heavily on how many active users live near you.
The free version gives you a real trial
Omi says free users can swipe, match and chat after matching. You can test the app without paying on day one.
The free experience is not fully open. Premium is advertised with features such as:
- Seeing who already liked you
- Unlimited likes
- Daily Crushes that give selected profiles extra attention
- Turbo boosts for more profile exposure
- Extra visibility and control over your discovery queue
Supreme includes Premium features and adds tools such as advanced filters, Daily Picks, nearby discovery and three messages a day before a match. These paid features can change how quickly you find people, but they do not guarantee replies or meaningful matches.
Several ways to start talking
Standard swiping can become repetitive. Omi tries to break that pattern with a few extra modes.
- Telepath: an anonymous voice-chat option for meeting someone before a normal match. Omi says a match can happen when a call reaches three minutes.
- Omi Clic: uses interests, location and zodiac information to suggest a connection. Treat this as a fun prompt, not a reliable test of compatibility.
- Dating Quiz: asks a daily question and connects people who choose the same answer.
- Love Style Quiz: uses an MBTI-based profile and presents compatibility details.
These tools give shy users something better than opening every chat with “Hi.” They are also the most distinctive part of the app. Their value will depend on whether people in your area actually use them.
Where the paid plans matter most
Omi's subscriptions are focused on visibility and access. Premium includes seeing existing likes, unlimited likes, Daily Crushes and Turbo. Supreme adds advanced filters, Daily Picks, nearby discovery and three pre-match messages a day. Those are the features most likely to change how high your profile appears in discovery and who you can contact before matching.
The listing says Premium starts at around $20 per month, while Supreme starts at around $60 per month. Prices can change by country, package and promotion. The app also offers longer plans and other in-app purchases. Check the exact amount in Google Play before confirming, especially when a discount is displayed.
Subscriptions renew automatically. The listing says your Google Play account can be charged within 24 hours before the current period ends, and cancellation should be completed at least 24 hours before renewal through Google Play. A free trial is the safer starting point if you are unsure about the local user pool.
What the supplied 7.x reviews found frustrating
The supplied reviews include some positive experiences, but the strongest pattern is frustration around payment and access. They are tied to versions from 7.49.5 to 7.77.0, while the app record lists version 3.4. Their dates are not provided, so they should be read as version-specific user reports rather than a direct assessment of the current build.
- Charges and refunds are the biggest concern.
Several reviewers report unexpected charges, unclear promotional prices or difficulty getting money back. One user said a discounted offer led to a larger charge than expected. Another reported a high Premium charge and said support refused a refund.
These reports make the payment screen especially important. Check the plan name, renewal date and final amount before using a fingerprint or one-tap purchase.
- Likes can feel locked away.
Multiple users say they received likes but could not find or identify the people behind them without paying. This matches Omi's description of “See Who Likes You” as a Premium feature.
Some reviewers suspected inactive or fake accounts. Those claims were not independently confirmed, so treat them as personal reports rather than established facts.
- Chat rules are easy to misunderstand.
Omi says chatting is free after a mutual match. Some reviewers expected to message people who had liked them, or believed that every apparent match should allow immediate chat. That is different from a mutual free match.
Read the wording around likes, matches and direct messages before paying. Supreme's pre-match messages are a separate paid feature.
- Distance results may be wider than expected.
Some users complain that profiles marked as nearby were much farther away. Omi says it may automatically widen the search area when there are not enough people within the selected range.
That policy may explain some wide results, but it does not confirm every distance complaint. If nearby dating is essential to you, check profiles carefully before investing time or money.
- Bans and verification failures appear in the reviews.
Some reviewers report permanent bans without a clear explanation. Others say they could not receive the SMS login code or that messages failed to send. These complaints come from the supplied 7.x review set and may not describe the current build.
Account access matters more when you have paid for a subscription. Keep payment records and use the official support address if a problem affects your account.
Safety tools help, but they are not a guarantee
Omi advertises photo verification, a Safety Quiz, safety advice, report and block controls, and 24/7 moderation. Verified profiles receive a badge where verification is available.
These tools can help, but they do not prove that every profile is genuine or that every unsafe account will be removed quickly. Keep conversations inside the app until you trust the person. Never send money, identity documents or private financial details.
Google Play's data-safety section says Omi may collect location and personal information, along with other data categories. It also says the app may share app activity, app information and performance data, and device or other IDs with third parties. Review the current privacy details for your region before creating a profile.
Check the app version before relying on these findings
The supplied app record says version 3.4, but the attached reviews refer to versions from 7.49.5 to 7.77.0. The editorial information also points to a later Google Play update. The exact version in the source record needs checking before these reviews are used to judge the current app.
The supplied screenshots should not be used either. They show a different product branded HAZA, with live rooms and rankings rather than Omi's dating interface. They do not provide useful evidence about this app.
Who should try Omi?
Omi is worth a free trial if you want:
- A dating app with quizzes and voice chat, not only swiping
- Friendship as well as romantic matching
- Basic matching and chat without an immediate subscription
- Verification, blocking and reporting tools in the same app
It may not suit you if you want clear, simple pricing or if you need a tightly controlled local search. The supplied 7.x reviews include repeated complaints about payments, hidden likes, bans and unclear chat access. Test your local results before subscribing.
Verdict: install Omi only as a free trial. Its conversation tools give it more variety than a basic dating app, but the paid layers are prominent. The supplied older-version reviews raise practical questions about billing clarity and account support, though they do not establish that the current build has the same problems. If the free version produces good local matches, consider a short subscription only after checking every payment detail.
