Drawbacks
Some avoid these services for fear that the technology could be used to electronically harass users. Another issue is "asymmetry of interests", i.e. attractive member receives excessive attentions and leaves, which may result in deterioration of membership. The pictures are very small and cell phones are still a step behind computers in their ease to use. At the 2012 iDate Mobile Dating Conference, the first ever consumer focus group for mobile dating apps unanimously reiterated the same complaints from years prior.

All participants had some concerns about risk. These concerns varied between participants and included physical, emotional and sexual risks, the risk of being scammed, the risk of encountering dangerous and dodgy people, the risk of pregnancy, risks to family, the risk of lies and deceit. With a new popular movement of "catfish" members are more prone to being mislead by someone pretending to be someone they're not through social media. To counter these risks, participants undertook various activities that made use of the technological resources available to them and also assessed how others did or did not use technology.
