Love but hate the bugs

This is such a great idea for a dating app. It puts initiative behind it. Ask someone to plan a date or plan one for you both. BUT this app has some bugs it needs to work out.

1. Date request notification delivered but when I go into the app it does not show the date for me to accept/decline. It shows the heart notification but won’t show me the date.

2. Sometimes when you request someone to plan a date it doesn’t go through and you can’t pass their profile.

Hi JD.babyy , Thank you for your feedback. Regarding bug number 1. - The heart shows you people that want you to ask them out, if you click that heart icon you will see those additional dates. We will look into bug number two for you. Thank you!

Confusion about process

If you fill out the profile enough it gives you a 10 day “terracotta” subscription then starts sending you alerts counting down til it ends. If you send a date requests you’ll never see that profile ever again. No ‘pending response’ or verifying whether or not the person has even seen the request. Then I’ll get ‘requests to plan a date’ with a 7 day countdown. Not a fan at all of this feature at all. It comes across as women wanting entertainment (dates) rather than an actual connection. Or is that how the app tells you someone liked your profile? And why the short countdown? Who does that help?? I’ve submitted questions through the app but they never respond.

Hi Tinhorn Duck, Thank you for your feedback. The reason for the countdown is because we want to get people off of the app as quickly as possible to eliminate pen pals. If you have any additional questions please reach out to support@firstroundsonme.co

Not for me

The whole concept of this app seems nice but I don’t think it’s actually carried out well. I downloaded it because I was curious and decided to try it and ended up deleting it pretty quickly after. First of all, my preferences were set to men and I was getting a combination of men and women, which I think is odd. Also, I don’t like that men who were much older than me/my max age were able to send me date requests. I like being able to get to know someone a little before I actually agree to meet them in person and this doesn’t seem to cater to that at all.

STOP WASTING PEOPLE’S TIME!!!

Hello,

I don’t usually write reviews but I feel I have to due to the disgusting hunger your team has for money from single individuals. Just so you and your team are aware, I will never pay for a date or to meet a stranger. The fact that your team had me waste my time to fill out a profile only to then ask for money, it’s ridiculous! Your team couldn’t even design the app to give individuals an opportunity to try the app before asking for one’s cc is hilarious. Anyways app and profile deleted. May the next single loser get got… hope this review stays and is open to the public for those of you desperate enough ti pay for a date, just go ask in person the next stranger. Most people say yes to free things. Goodbye ✌🏼

Hi YDYAY , Sorry for the confusion, but the app actually follows a freemium model and users can freely use most of the app without paying. Also you can skip or x out of the paywall to move on. Thank you.

Not available in many areas

I was super excited to see how this app ends up working for me. however it’s only available in a few select cities. Nothing against the app just a forewarning that unless you live in the select cities you won’t even be able to create a profile. I will definitely be using this app when it’s available in my area.

Best Date Ever

It’s been fun, we vibe with each other well. She’s a cutie. We wish we could have actually a reservation through the app because our time was booked at the restaurant. Nevertheless, we still had a great time and would recommend this app to other people who are looking for a quick way to meet new people and have fun. 💜💜

Good could be better though

Recently learned about this and loved the concept. The app seems good so far, but I do wish there was a designated area on app that lets me see the status of when I request a date with someone, like.. pending or denied, instead of just wondering if they haven’t seen it or if i got rejected. Also wish I could see someone’s sexuality and pronouns on their profile page. And would be amazing if I could remove a quote from my profile page..

Hi Big Homie Tiara, Thank you so much for your feedback. We will take these notes into account and try to enhance the product based on your suggestions. In regards to the removal of the quote, let us look into that as you should be able to remove that. Thank you.

Not safe for women. No way to quickly unmatch/block

This app makes me feel unsafe as a woman, as there is no way to instantly block or unmatch from someone who makes you feel unsafe.

Update - responding to the developer who sent me a message claiming that you are not matched with a person “after your date” and are able to “cancel at any time”-

This is NOT true. I was still matched with this person and when I tried to unmatch from him, I got a message that the request would get “reviewed” over a 24 hour period.

You also cannot report problematic profiles that people put up but are not matched with yet

The guy I went out with made me feel very uncomfortable and unsafe on the date - I still had to stay matched with him after the date, while I waited for support to “review” my request to unmatch/block

Please do NOT use this app if you’re concerned about safety.

Hi loveya695958 , I am so sorry to hear about your experience. Also, I'm not sure you are familiar with how the app works, you always have the option to cancel a potential date at anytime, you can also report a user at anytime. You do not stay matched with your date after the date is over. Hope this helps any confusion you may have had. Thank you.

Not for UK

Why is this in the UK App Store when it cannot be used here? Tried to sign up but US number required. Asks location, US states only. Waste of my time.

good but could be great

i love everything about this app beside the fact it doesn’t have a distance select. i am a girly without a car in a big city with public transit!! id like to be able to find someone within a reasonable distance from me. beyond that, the app is set up perfect for people who really do hate small talk and/or have super busy schedules. LOOOOOOVE the calendar feature where it keeps track of your dates for you
