Needs a LOT of work

Topgunwov

the app is designed pretty poorly. I get that it's not bad for a first attempt but it needs some serious UI improvements and basic overhauling of key features if it wants to improve. First off, the matches section simply does not work. A straight male will see other men, men and women of ALL ages, and a cycle of the same 5 people over and over even though you "swiped left" (i had to press the x button because even the swiping function is broken), which could all be fixed by a preferences selector like in the other section. However the dumbest possible design choice still has to be: WHAT IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 3 GEEKY INTERESTS? Let's say I like anime/manga, video games, tabletop games, AND cosplay, now all of a sudden people who'd be into me because i like one of those options can't find me?and of course many of these choices overlap, for i stance there could be 2 anime selections, would one be the same as the other? And with the specificity of these choices, being limited to only 3 options is bewilderingly stupid. If they'd take some more of the features from other popular dating apps it could potentially work, and work well! In theory, the concept behind the app is a clever one. However until things change the app is currently unusable without MAJOR updates and patches.

Doesn't work properly

Can't log in after logging out. Yup

Great concept, amazing dev team

The app itself is a great concept and has a lot of promise. It is a work in progress, but it's still worth checking out. The best part about it by far is that if you have an issue, or something doesn't work right, or you have a suggestion for a feature, you can message the dev team and they will talk to you personally from within the app. It doesn't just drop into a suggestions inbox, a real person takes time to chat with you. So that's awesome. I've personally not had any success with this app (par for the course for me!) but I think a lot of that has to do with where I live. If I have any advice for people who do use this, it would be to make sure you fill out all the info in your profile. The app doesn't work if you leave stuff blank, and it works that way by design. Plus, you're really only cheating yourself if you don't. Good luck!

Blank!!!

Say wha?!!!!

On matches, nothing shows up. Just a heart and an X. No pics or names. Kind of defeats the purpose if you can't see anything.

App is a disaster

It's like the coding for this app is broken in places. I get email notifications that I have new messages, so I go to check... they don't appear. I have new matches, I either say 'yay' or 'nay' and then the same guys pop up four people later. I would argue this app is borderline unusable. If I can ever get ahold of the two guys who seem worthwhile, I'll just give them my number and delete the app. Good idea, more nerds need to be aware of this... but it's a TERRIBLE app.

Good app

The UI of this app screams nerd dating! Never thought I would find a dating app like this honestly. It's very user friendly and very genuine. Give it a try to know it for yourself.

Sucked before, and now it copies other apps

Jacquie Sendall

I downloaded this app early to mid-2016. The app was boring and needed serious work. At that time it seemed like it was for ultimate geeks who only liked things like gaming and anime. Near the end of the year I downloaded another "geek/nerd" dating app, and it was so much more open, friendly and easy to use. It had a great message that spoke to me, and included categories for both ultimate geeks and 'sort of' geeks/nerds. I felt more included. But I decided to give this app another shot to see if they had made any changes and improvements to what they had previously. When I reviewed the website and re-downloaded the app, I couldn't believe how much the app had changed, and everything sounded just like the other app that I had downloaded. Some of it is word for word, with a few word replacements. Also, they suddenly had more general categories that copied what the other app had already included. I was like, what's the point? There's nothing original on it. Very disappointed.

Where are my matches from?!

ISaidCoffee

Seems like this App has a lot of potential, but it fails miserably in one crucial area. You can match by distance, but it doesn't tell you where the other person is from. I'm in Jersey, and I'm matching with people in the Bronx or Queens. I don't know this until I ask where that person is from. It's a complete waste of time.

Good idea, badly implemented

Kevstroodlz

Okay, biggest problem that this app has is that while you CAN change the distance feature, it won't save. So it auto populates people from "anywhere." As cute as that girl is from New Zealand, I'm not flying across the world to meet her for the first time. While you're fixing that, Let me add more "geekdoms". I like hundreds of geekdoms not just 3. Then, when those two things have been fixed, please add more filters. For example: religious preference, political stance, body types, favorite weapon, etc. After that, if you guys market the app right, it has the potential to be VERY successful. Try to get some advertisements at comicon. ;)

Crash Ninja

Chime Eco

The app crashes constantly and my messages disappeared! Also, there's repeated matches. Doesn't anyone test these? Code it right!
