Our take
Ashley Madison is the best-known discreet dating brand, aimed at people who are attached, exploring non-monogamy, or who simply value privacy. Its Irish App Store listing focuses on privacy tools: Discreet Match, Stealth Mode for iOS notifications, private photo masking, profile verification and discreet billing.
The same listing says card charges appear on statements as 'AMDA' rather than Ashley Madison, unless your bank changes it. That matters when you check later that payments have stopped. It also states that all photos in the listing are of models.
Ashley Madison's website blocked our automated checks, so we couldn't read its terms or cancellation pages. The euro prices below come from the Irish App Store listing, which shows package names and prices but not what each package includes.
Who runs it: Ruby Life Inc. (named as trader on its Irish App Store listing), according to Ashley Madison's own terms.
Good for
- Adults who want a service built specifically around discretion
- People exploring non-monogamy who want privacy controls
Avoid if…
- You are not comfortable with a service designed for people already in relationships
- You want to read the full terms easily before joining
Pros
- Euro prices visible on the Irish App Store before you download
- Discreet billing descriptor ('AMDA') stated openly
- Trader identified on the Irish App Store, with an address and support email
- Profile verification, reporting and blocking tools listed
Cons
- Built for people already in a relationship, which won't suit everyone
- App Store prices don't say what each package includes
- We couldn't read the website's terms or cancellation pages

Leaving Ashley Madison
Ashley Madison's website blocked our automated checks, so we couldn't confirm its menu labels. The safe route: stop any automatic payment from your account's billing area on the website, or in Apple or Google subscriptions if you paid in the app, then check for 'AMDA' on your next statement.
Cooling-off and refunds: We couldn't read Ashley Madison's own terms on withdrawal or refunds, because its site blocked our checks. On the Irish App Store, Ruby Life Inc. identifies itself as a trader and confirms the product complies with EU law. For App Store purchases, refund requests go to Apple; otherwise contact support@ashleymadison.com.

Ashley Madison: questions people ask
How much does Ashley Madison cost in Ireland?
Its Irish App Store listing shows in-app packages from €22.49 (Ashley Madison Preferred) to €149.99 (Elite Package), without saying what each includes. Check the current price on the site or in the app before paying.
What does Ashley Madison look like on a bank statement?
Its App Store listing says the charge appears as 'AMDA', not Ashley Madison, unless your card company or bank changes it.
Does deleting the Ashley Madison app cancel payments?
No. Uninstalling an app never stops billing. Cancel in Apple or Google subscriptions if you paid there, or in your account's billing settings on the website.
