"Honestly, it would be better to sign up in a different dating app because this app is inconsistent. Sometimes it works well, most of the time it crashes." - Kim, 21
"I've had a couple of matches and conversations from Marnii. It was good, all my matches had the same intention as me – but nothing led to a date if I'm quite honest." - Gary, 27

Is Marnii right for me?Who is signed up on Marnii in the UK?
Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on Marnii from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.
Marnii was first launched in the United Kingdom – and so, most, if not all, members come from this country. There is not much information about the total number of Marnii users. But testing the dating app, there aren’t that many who are active.
What’s great though, when we tested the dating app, was that there were no fake profiles. All the members we saw seemed to be genuine in finding a serious relationship through the app. It also helped that all members are mobile verified.

The Marnii app
★★★★★ 2.0/5
- Only available to certain countries
- Downloadable in Google Play Store and Apple App Store
- Mobile verification required
- Inconsistency in loading or starting up
- Has low user rating
Marnii is only available as a mobile app that you can download from Google Play Store and Apple App Store. It is only available to certain countries with a large user base, such as the United Kingdom and the United States.
Currently, Marnii has a 1-star rating in Google Play Store and 3.5 stars in Apple App Store. A lot of complaints can be found in both app stores’ user reviews. Complaints are mostly about the app’s inconsistency in loading and starting up – saying that the app crashes after a few seconds.
It doesn’t seem that the app is taking their user reviews into consideration though, because there hasn’t been an update since its launch in early January of 2021.
Our field test
★★★★★ 2.0/5
Design & usability
Marnii was designed to appeal to the millennials. This is apparent due to the colours and graphics the dating app used to design its app.
Regardless of its design, Marnii dating app’s platform is easy to use for singles of any age. All features are conveniently found as icons at the bottom of the screen – also making it easy for the thumb to navigate should you be using it while in transit.
There have been complaints that the dating app crashes when you open and decide to use it. There was also feedback saying that the app takes long to load.
Based on our test, we had about 4 out of 10 times that the app failed to load and crashed completely.

Queue jump is a feature of Marnii wherein you can choose to be in a member’s match list even if he or she hasn’t liked you yet. When you use a queue jump, your profile will be on the other user’s match list with a star on beside your name. This shows the other member that you made an effort in getting into his or her list.
Final results
2.0poor
“There are better dating apps to join if you want to find a relationship. Marnii's features are free to use – however, its inconsistency with starting up will really test your patience. Also, these features are also offered by other apps, so there’s nothing special about it.”
