"Pets is a really entertaining game and I've managed to buy the most pets in a few days thanks to dedication (and paying real cash). I mostly use it for fun. It's a great place to waste time without feeling like I'd be judged because I'm playing against fellow adults. Never really got a date there but that's not what I use the site for. The profiles throw me back to early 2006 Myspace. Kind of a turn off but again, I'm not here to look at profiles. LOL." - Male Businessman (34)

Is Tagged right for me?Who is signed up on Tagged 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 Tagged from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.
During its acquisition of Hi5 in 2011, Tagged also absorbed over 230 million of its users. Which means that only 1/3rd of the current user base in Tagged actually signed up on the website. African-Americans dominate the site, making up 42% of the members, followed by Caucasians at 41%, then Hispanics by 12%. Tagged was originally a teen-only site and surprisingly, they stuck around. 11% of all Tagged users are teens. In the graph below, we combined them with the 18 - 34 age group. Almost half of Tagged users access the site through the mobile app while the other half uses the desktop website.

★★★★★ 3.5/5

- Average 4 stars on the app stores
- 10 million downloads
The app has more of a dating service feel than the website. In the app, the "Meet Me" feature is the main highlight whereas in the website the games seemed to be the priority. Also, the app is better designed than the website. The customisable profiles with "skins" are disabled in the app. When you view someone's profile, you'll find the standard font and a clean, white background. The functions, which were jam-packed on the homepage of the website, are properly arranged in the app. It has over 10 million downloads.
Our field test
★★★★★ 3.0/5
Design & usability
The website's features are crowded and organised without a thought as to which one would be the members' main purpose. The presence of games makes it feel less like an online dating website and more like a social network for people of all ages. On the main page you are bombarded with potential matches, pets you should buy on the game, and a feed with constant updates from members. It can get overwhelming. The posts and photos dangerously lean towards pornographic, which is worrying because there are a lot of minors on this site. The website's censorship and overall monitoring seems very lax.
Special features
Showing interest 1
LUVFree
LUV are technically "gifts" that you can give and receive from someone. Each user gets 10 LUV everyday. Every time you give and receive LUV, you'll earn points. Also, if you give someone LUV, they'll get additional LUV to give to someone else. For each LUV you receive, the bar underneath your photo in your profile increases. The fuller the bar, the more LUV you've received from various members. You basically get bragging rights and show everyone else how popular and loved you are in Tagged.
Other extras 1
PetsPaid
Pets is a game that lets you buy and sell other members. You yourself can be bought and sold too. You start off with a value of about 12 million Qd (the currency in the game). You can buy other members for the price of 0.01 Qd, which can be really easy for you, but very easy for others to buy your pets from you. As you buy more pets, your value increases and you get cash bonuses. If you're bought by someone, your value will increase by 10%. Those are the basics. It's a buy-and-sell trade game, and your value only really decreases if you become inactive in the game.
Final results

“If you read online articles about Tagged, you're extremely likely to find mentions of the site surprisingly managing to survive during the era of Facebook when Friendster, Myspace, and others didn't. However, during our test we found that Facebook (or other social websites) isn't the main weakness of Tagged; it's main weakness is itself. Tagged started out as a "social discovery website" but eventually tried to step into the online dating industry. Here is where the problem lies. The transition wasn't done properly. The website is now an awkward mix of a dating service with underage members and a gaming website with adult members looking for love. The customer help service is substandard, and the premium package only really gives you one useful add-on. If you want an overall better dating website, try out our Casual Dating service category.”
