"As soon as my profile was created and I uploaded two of my best photos, I received a couple of likes and comments in my inbox. These are very likely to be fake profiles or automated bots. Most ladies sent a hello or hi, while some complimented my appearance. One lady even said, "You are handsome, tall, and white." As a 20-year old lad, I was actually surprised not to get aggressive messages and NSFW photos! I tried flirting with some of the women, but it was either I did not get a reply or they left the chat box. Which was actually great because I was only looking to meet new friends. Overall, I got a pretty good experience with the website. It would be better if there were more women active though. Not so much on the app because of the ads, and I was not willing to pay for a premium membership for something that I could do without."

What Hitwe really costs in Hong Kong
Hitwe offers three types of subscriptions. 1-month membership costs 7.99 USUSD, 3-months membership costs 17.97 USUSD, and a 12-month subscription costs 47.28 USUSD. If you’re seeking for a longtime membership, you get a pretty good deal when you sign up for the 12 months subscription.
However, even without a subscription, you could still enjoy all the features of the site with limitations that have a very minimal effect with regards to giving you a full experience. The only advantage of having a subscription is the deactivation of ads that can be quite a bother, especially on the mobile app.

Is Hitwe right for me?Who is signed up on Hitwe in Hong Kong?
Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on Hitwe from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.
Majority of Hitwe members come from Russia, Brazil, and Ukraine. Most are male and female under the age of 35. Some are looking for a casual hook-up, but most are seeking friendship. Members who are online are quick to respond to messages sent to them. Sad to say though that similar to other dating sites, Hitwe also has its share of fake profiles. Some members use a pseudonym instead of their real names, and their profiles usually do not feature any details. Hitwe claims that such profiles can be reported to their support team, but we are doubtful that they will take action on it.

The Hitwe app
★★★★★ 3.0/5
- Free to download in App Store and Google Play
- Phone notifications for every interaction
- One-click chat button on Sympathy tab
- Too many pop-up ads
Hitwe’s mobile app has every feature found on its website counterpart. An additional feature is the Pet Evolution game, which serves as a great motivation to interact, upload new photos, just overall be active on the dating app. The mobile app also features a message button right on the match profile suggestions–which the website do not have. This would immediately take you to a private chat room with that user. When you click on the user’s photo on the app, you would be able to see the user’s photo gallery. Wherein clicking a photo on the website would bring you to a personal chat box instead. Overall, the mobile app seems to bring more convenience when messaging and viewing user profiles. The only inconvenience is–ads pop-up every after 5-10 likes or 20-30 seconds, which brings total annoyance.
