Viewing and Making Sense of Your Profile Review
Once your reviewer has completed their analysis, you'll receive a notification, and your feedback will be available in the app. This guide will help you access your review and understand its components.
Notification of Completion
You'll typically receive a push notification (if enabled on your device) and an email to your registered email address informing you that your review is ready.
How to Access Your Completed Review
Open the Review My Hinge app.
Navigate to the 'Reviews' tab (usually found in the bottom navigation bar).
Look for your request under the 'Completed' filter or in the 'All' list. Completed reviews will be clearly marked.
Tap on the specific review request to open the detailed review screen.
Understanding a Text Review
Main Components
A text review from our experts is typically structured to give you comprehensive insights:
Overall Rating
A summary score (e.g., 3.5 out of 5 stars) reflecting the reviewer's overall impression of your profile's effectiveness.
Rating Breakdown
Individual scores for key profile aspects such as:
- Aesthetic: Visual appeal of your photos, quality, composition.
- Personality: How well your unique character, humor, and interests are conveyed.
- Uniqueness: How much your profile stands out from common patterns.
- Charm: Your profile's approachability and likeability factor.
- Energy Balance: A rating indicating the perceived balance between playful/fun energy and mature/responsible energy.
What's Working Well (Pros)
Highlights the strong points of your profile – aspects you should definitely keep or emphasize.
Areas for Improvement (Cons)
Constructive criticism identifying elements that might be holding your profile back or could be perceived negatively.
Actionable Suggestions
Specific, practical advice and concrete steps you can take to improve your photos, bio, prompts, or overall presentation.
Photo-Specific Impressions
Many text reviews include comments on each photo you submitted, discussing what works, what doesn't, and potential improvements for each image.
Understanding a Video Review
Key Elements of a Video Review
Video Player
The core of the review. You'll find an embedded video player. Use the controls to play, pause, rewind, or fast-forward. Some videos may also support fullscreen playback.
Reviewer Commentary
The reviewer will verbally walk through your profile, often screen-recording as they go, pointing out specific elements and explaining their thoughts in real-time.
Category Ratings
Video reviews also typically include the same numerical category ratings (Aesthetic, Personality, etc.) as text reviews, giving you a quantifiable summary.
Supplementary Video Comments
Some reviewers may add text comments or a summary below the video to reiterate key points or provide additional links/resources.
Partner Service Recommendations
Exploring Add-On Service Suggestions
If your reviewer believes professional photography or fashion/styling advice would significantly benefit you, they might include a recommendation in a dedicated section of your review. This will include their notes and a link to learn more about these optional services from our vetted partners.
