FAQ

What is this app for?

This app is designed for open-minded singles to connect and find what they truly want in a relationship. It allows users to express whether they are seeking something serious or casual, facilitating honest connections and dates.

How does the matching system work?

Is there a cost to use the app?

The app is free to download and use. However, an optional subscription package called DOWN Private Membership is available for users who wish to access premium features and enhance their chances of success.

What are the safety features?

The app prioritizes user safety with robust measures, including mandatory photo verification for all users. This helps to identify and mitigate inauthentic accounts and scammers, creating a safer environment for matching and chatting with nearby singles.

Can I find both casual and serious relationships?

Yes, the app is perfect for singles seeking casual relationships, long-term commitments, or anything in between. Users can clearly express their intentions by choosing to 'GET DOWN' for casual fun or 'GET DATE' for something more serious.
