## What is Deseret Singles?

Faith, fun, and maybe forever.

Deseret Singles is a modern dating app made for Latter-day Saints — a place to meet people who share your faith, your standards, and your sense of humor. Built from the ground up for how we actually date, not a generic app with a filter bolted on.

WHY DESERET SINGLES

• Built for Latter-day Saints — by Latter-day Saints. Match on what matters: temple attendance, mission, activity level, ward and stake, and the goal of an eternal family.

• Verified members. Earn a verified badge with a quick selfie check — real people, real faith. Know who you're talking to.

• SafeDate™. Share your live location and a check-in time before you head out. Miss your check-in, and a trusted contact is alerted automatically — with your location and who you were meeting. Peace of mind, every date.

• Chat in any language. Every message is shown to each person in their own language, automatically — connect across the country or the world with no language barrier.

• Real-life events. Firesides, temple trips, institute, and service projects near you. RSVP, see who's going, and meet in person.

• More ways to connect. Daily matches, Super Likes, compatibility questions, activity-partner mode, travel mode, photo albums, and community chat rooms.

• On your wrist and your Home Screen. Browse profiles and like right from your Apple Watch, and keep your new matches, likes, and unread messages a glance away with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — tap a face to jump straight to their profile.

SAFE BY DESIGN, NOT AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT

Your contact info is never shared. Your exact location is never shown. Every message is screened against Latter-day Saint standards, and reporting is one tap away.

WHO IT'S FOR

LDS singles, YSA, returned missionaries — and anyone who sincerely lives by Latter-day Saint standards and wants an eternal companion.

BUILT WITH YOU — AND JUST GETTING STARTED

We'll be honest with you: Deseret Singles is brand new, and a dating app is only as good as the people on it. If you don't see many members near you yet, hang in there. Come back often, finish your profile, and tell a friend — the community grows every day, and the people who show up now are the ones who shape what this becomes.

Join early and you're not just a user — you're a founding member. The first 2,500 members keep every feature free, for life. We read every piece of feedback and build what you ask for next.

This is the very beginning, and the beginning is the best part to be part of. Let's build the future of Latter-day Saint dating together.

Free to download — start today.

### 3/5 — What’s with the stupid username requirement of needing numbers

*2026-08-17*

What’s with the stupid username requirement needing numbers and characters like the thousand passwords we have to create this days? Just make it so we see the persons actual name! No stupid usernames, talk about pointless

**Developer response:** You're right about the error message, it made it sound like numbers and symbols were required, and they never were. That's fixed, and usernames are now much freer: 3-20 characters, almost anything you like. You can also set a display name in Edit Profile so people see a name instead of a handle. Thanks for the straight talk, this is exactly the feedback we want.
- Mark, founder

### 5/5 — Great app for LDS

*2026-08-06*

Nobody tells you how much of this is just filtering. This one handles a lot of that before you even start, which has saved me a bunch of time and a few conversations that were never going anywhere. Profiles are solid, app doesn't lag, and I haven't run into the bugs or the constant "upgrade to see who liked you" nonsense I was braced for. Wish there were more people in smaller areas, but that's a numbers problem, not an app problem.

### 5/5 — User-focused, wonderful customer support

*2026-07-18*

I emailed the developer for support and they responded the same day. My exchange with them was incredibly satisfying. A developer who cares more about bringing something good into the world than making money is hard to find, but this one has nailed it. They clearly care about the users and aren't just fishing for payment. They put an emphasis on safety and privacy. I encourage you to get the app - it's wonderful, but it's still growing and it needs as many people as it can get!

### 5/5 — A dream 30 years in the making

*2026-06-30*

I'm the founder and creator of Deseret Singles, and I want to thank everyone who downloads it. This app is a work of love — an idea I've carried for 30 years, finally come true.
It's built for us: a faith‑centered place to meet someone who shares your standards and your hope for an eternal family. We're just getting started, so if you don't see many people near you yet, hang in there and come back often — everyone who joins now is a founding member helping shape what this becomes.
Download it, set up your profile, and be part of the beginning. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
