Better In Person is the dating app for intentional people who want to meet up. No more endless chats. This app gets you on real dates without the guesswork. Every profile has a video vibe check, so there is no catfishing. If you match, we'll set it up. Download today. MEET IN PERSON Our users prefer meeting in person. Expect to be invited for coffee, dinner, drinks and more instead of endless typing. This app is about face-to-face, not screen-to-screen. VIDEO VIBE CHECK ON EVERY PROFILE Each profile features a video vibe check, a 5-20 second unfiltered video that gives you an authentic glimpse of the person behind the profile. See their energy, vibe, and personality before matching. You will feel more confident meeting up, and there's a higher chance of connection on a first date. TURN MATCHES INTO DATES On other major dating apps, 9 out of 10 matches never meet. When you match on Better In Person, the app asks both of you if you’re ready to meet up. If yes, it plans everything — finding convenient places, coordinating schedules, and sending calendar invites. HOLD BAD BEHAVIOR ACCOUNTABLE All dating apps have a reporting feature, but it feels like nothing really happens. Not here. Report catfish, flakes, f*ckboys, and penpals. Users who receive three reports of bad behavior face a choice: delete your account or continue using it with a profile banner notifying others of your behavior. THE APP IS FREE TO DOWNLOAD AND USE You can match, chat, and go on dates for free. We also offer an optional subscription package called Better In Person Premium.

What sets it apart from more popular dating apps is its focus on authenticity, which is something the dating world desperately needs. One feature I love is the ability to see a video of the person you’re interested in, not just static profile pictures. This eliminates the heavy use of filters that can often give a distorted sense of who someone really is. To me, that feature alone is monumental. It gives you a much better sense of the person, making interactions more genuine and meaningful. On top of that, you can tell that the company is really putting in the effort. They’re very responsive to reviews and feedback, which shows they care about improving the app and addressing user concerns, instead of just ignoring them like some other platforms. Overall, Better in Person is already better than many other apps out there, and I can see it becoming a go-to for people looking for real connections. I highly recommend keeping an eye on this app as it continues to grow! ### 5/5 — Mike mello reviews bip *2024-10-21* So far so good. I originally thought it was going to be horrible but I love how it shows you a five second videos. Tells you where they love what they do. I’m really impressed. I hope I’m not jinxing it but for now it’s great. ### 5/5 — Love app idea *2024-10-17* I love the idea of this app there just a few thing I don’t like that’s why ima only give it a 3star 1 being I run out of people when swiping and not many potential matches also I like the fact that you can see who liked you with out paying ### 5/5 — Great design! Low population. *2024-10-12* Very recently downloaded Better In Person and love the design of this app. It’s profile setup puns are really quippy and made me smile. I also REALLY love the AI profile recommendations. Creating a profile is very easy and actually pretty fun reading what it generates. The concept is a really good idea; meeting in person and dating with the intention of an actual relationship. The execution so far has also been really well done. The setup experience is at least on par or even better than the big 3 dating apps and MUCH better than many of the less popular apps. That being said, just after 1 swiping session I’ve already gotten through all of the profiles aged 21-28 in the Seattle area. I would guess that this app would do much better in one of the mega cities like NY, LA, or Miami but as of right now this app definitely suffers from a lack of users. Hopefully they advertise this app a bunch because I really enjoyed the experience I’ve had so far! ### 3/5 — Crickets *2024-10-10* I mean the one positive I can say about this app is I am not getting hounded 12 times to buy premium everytime I log in. That being said, it’s empty. I haven’t had a single suggestion for a person to meet in weeks. And I think I’ve seen 3 profiles total. Wondering if their verification system is too out of wack to actually have people join and not just give up. ### 4/5 — No matches in my area *2024-10-03* I love the idea and concept of this app, I also love how it sets up your profile. I have it a four star because it’s very limited to people in my area. I couldn’t find anyone in my area. ### 3/5 — No Ghosting ? *2024-09-28* App failed to set up a date for the woman I matched with because she’s “in another city“. In reality, we live very close together, we are separated by just a couple miles, so that excuse is hardly a good one. In any case I’ve gotten in touch with her and asked her if she is ready to meet, since that is what I expect from this app. And she has not gotten back to me. I am going to ask again now, after which, I expect her to ghost me. Because that’s what women on dating apps do. Ghost men. You need to grow a pair and realized that something worth having sometimes requires, in fact *always requires* taking a risk. Women, if you won’t take that risk, you will always be alone. ### 5/5 — Hilarious and unique customization *2024-09-22* Even if I don’t get a date, this app is an improvement on overall dating apps. ### 2/5 — Not a great experience *2024-09-21* This app is not the best for people with standards. After about a day it said that I had to adjust my filters to see other people because it ran out of people and it says that new people join daily it’s been three weeks and it still says there’s nobody in my area that fits my standards I also had a date but we had to plan it ourselves the app didn’t like it’s supposed to do. I don’t know about this app. I’ve had better luck on others than this one. ### 5/5 — I am hopeful for this dating app *2024-09-18* I like it the layout of this app. Even though, not many have joined. It’s new! I love that you cant join unless you have a video. ## Frequently asked questions about Better In Person ### What is Better In Person?
