Had a wonderful, fun Surprise Date ### 5/5 — Finding Hidden Gems in My Own Backyard! *2023-03-14, version 0.1.8* Five minutes after downloading and I’ve found places to go to and things to do that I didn’t know were even possible where I live. They suggested “snowboarding” and it took me to a place near my house that offered indoor snowboarding and lessons to do advanced tricks. SO COOL. For a free app I’m very impressed and am excited to use it for booking plans with friends and my honey in the weeks to come. **Developer response:** We love hearing feedback like this, thank you! ### 5/5 — Such a cool concept! *2023-03-13, version 0.1.8* Got sent on an incredible date followed by an amazing dinner! The surprise aspect of it was so fun!! Thanks Duo!! ### 5/5 — A date I could have never planned *2023-03-10, version 0.1.7* It was incredible what they put together for my wife and I. I’m pretty busy so my go to is always dinner and a movie and I could tell my wife was reluctantly and politely suggesting other things, but we could never quite find the right answer and always defaulted to dinner (at the usual restaurants) and a movie. Well Duo opened us to a new, incredible restaurant and then a phenomenal experience (I don’t want to ruin the surprise) that my wife and I will remember forever. Thank you Duo! Will use again and again, highly recommend **Developer response:** We can't wait to plan the next one for you two! ### 5/5 — Surprise dates are the best! *2023-03-06, version 0.1.7* Tried DUO to help with date ideas. But then found out about the surprise date feature. A totally unique experience that has given my fiancé and I some really fun memories. Will continue to be a go-to tool for our dating life. Takes the stress out of dating but leaves in the adventure. Definitely worth a try! ### 5/5 — Putting a spark in dates *2023-03-04, version 0.1.7* My wife and I tried the surprise date option. It was great to be able to have it planned for us and not worry about anything but to show up and have a great time! We also have a bunch of dates up our sleeve scrolling through the ideas the app gives us. **Developer response:** Glad you and your wife had a great experience! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2023-03-04, version 0.1.7* Such a great app with so many great ideas. Fantastic way to keep dating unique & fun regardless of the stage you’re in! ### 5/5 — Fun Dates Made Easy *2023-03-04, version 0.1.7* Such a great way to get awesome date inspo & receive surprise custom dates tailored to you! ### 5/5 — Such a great idea! *2023-03-04, version 0.1.7* Perfect app for me and my wife. Always need date ideas ### 5/5 — Cool date ideas *2023-03-04, version 0.1.7* Great date ideas and we are looking forward to our first planned date! ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-03-02, version 0.1.6* Such a well built and intuitive app! Great way to add some creative and exciting dates to your relationships! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No customer service number , or way to contact so be prepared *2023-11-07* I was so excited to get this for my brother and SIL for their birthday present ! After seeing this advertised and some dates being set up thought it would be a unique present. Since you have to use the app for your date I was trying to get someone from customer service to respond if I could pay ahead or even buy a gift card and I never got a response . I then went to the IG page that was advertising how easy / awesome this is and messaged , posted and reached out to Dates on Duo . Unfortunately I could never get a response or answer which is super disappointing. Any new business or company knows that customer service is key and the first 2 years of customers are invaluable. Not getting any type of customer service just shows their customers aren’t valued . On top of that if someone does spend money and is using their service and something goes wrong , good luck getting a response or finding a contact number to get a hold of someone . Thankfully found a similar service who was able to respond within 3 hours of the first question . Have purchased 3 additional dates since . ### 1/5 — Beyond disappointing *2023-07-01* Wife was super excited about this. Wouldn’t stop talking about it. Buy a date with a budget if $800 that originally I believe she was told excluded food). Summer in Arizona isn’t the easiest to plan a date so she thought this was going to be something she’d remember forever (which may end up being true but unfortunately for the wrong reasons). First part of the date was fine. Underwater at the aquarium. Saturday worked for our schedule but Saturdays at the aquarium are jam packed. Really takes away from what we expected. We were then told to bring our appetite to the next part of the date. Which ended up being a picnic at Granada park…in July…. Charged $460 for a picnic set up with finger food plate that wasn’t enough food nor enjoyable. We were there less than 5 minutes. Plan your own dates. Google stuff. Don’t fall for this crap like my wife did. ### 1/5 — Bad date *2023-05-09* Had a date planned and thought it was going to be fun. When I got to the business they told us that we did not have a date or a reservation. The app took my money to schedule a date that I did not get to enjoy. Idk if it was the businesses fault or the app but it was a waste of money and made me look stupid. I don’t even know what the date was supposed to be, I don’t know what I paid for. And the dinner date for per two was a very expensive restaurant that I would not have money for to pay for both people. **Developer response:** We are so sorry you had a bad experience. Our team is looking into your date to see what exactly went wrong. Although we plan 1000's of successful dates, we did not plan a successful date for you so we would like to comp your next experience. For future reference, we mirror the dinner reservations according to the budget set. (If your budget was $50 we would not send you to a fine dining experience.) We will be in touch, thank you for your feedback. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-03-06, version 0.1.7* There are so many grammatical errors and things that don’t make sense. It seems this app was just thrown together for a quick cash grab. It’s also very expensive to use just for coming up with date ideas which could be found online for free. The ideas also aren’t able to easily be filtered and end up giving tons of ideas which aren’t available anywhere near me or aren’t possible during this time of year. I was a big fan of Lauren and Arie but really disappointed in this. **Developer response:** Hi Ann, We are addressing the grammatical errors, thank you for your feedback. Duo is free for users to scroll through date ideas, so we feel it offers some great value. We are also working on location based dates as this has been a common request! We will use this feedback and improve things on our end! Thank you again. ### 1/5 — Beware! must hand over your personal card for surprise dates *2023-03-06, version 0.1.7* On top of the premium subscription, in order to go on a surprise date, this app asks for your personal credit card to book the dates on your behalf. This is ripe for security breaches and fraud. Beware of this before handing over ur payment details. ### 1/5 — Makes no sense *2023-03-04, version 0.1.7* Not seeing where the value is? When browsing date ideas, the CTA just takes you to a google or yelp search. I would have just searched myself on google then if the app wasn’t going to help. The date ideas and group dates are not subject to the location I put in. And instead are giving dates in Arizona, California, and Hawaii all of which I live far from. You’d have better luck typing in “date ideas” in your google search than using this since it isn’t even customizable to your location anyway. **Developer response:** Thank for your feedback. The date ideas are for inspiration! We just want to make it easier for you to find date ideas and therefore we linked a way for our users to do that. As far as group dates go this function is "coming soon" as stated on the app. The examples you saw are not location based as they are just examples. We hate to see negative feedback but we will take this and help improve and evolve the app as we go along. *Also as a note to future users we urge you to order a date planned by Duo as a premium member. This is where the real value is and we are excited to hear your feedback surrounding those dates! ### 2/5 — I can’t create my own account *2023-08-29* I try to sign in with email and get to where you enter your birthday and where you live and phone number…I filled all it in correctly but the continue button didn’t work…I tried reloading the app again but it didn’t work…I really like the concept of this app but I can’t experience it or rate the app high if I can’t sign in… ### 2/5 — Membership Needed *2023-04-07* I downloaded the app because I think this is a really cool concept. Especially the “surprise date” that you can do. However this is how they get you. You will need to get a membership with this app if you want to use the surprise date (of course with the membership is less expense). You do have another option to still do the surprise date without getting the membership, but it’ll cost you around $40. That’s not even paying for the surprise date activity. **Developer response:** We have hundreds of FREE date ideas on Duo where you can plan your own dates! Our premium feature where we plan a surprise date is a subscription fee of $24.99. With this, you get a personalized date professionally planned with customer support throughout your experience. Keep in mind these dates take hours to plan and are tailored to you and your partner! We hope you'll order one and see the value :) ### 4/5 — Great customer service but Needs a more detailed questionnaire *2023-07-13* The idea is great but the execution leaves something to be desired. We are moderately active people but our “surprise date” was rock climbing and neither of us are capable of doing that for more than 3 minutes. They did immediately remediate the situation and scheduled a new date that we are looking forward to. ### 5/5 — Best Date Ever *2023-06-20* My husband and I used this app to plan a date for us (we can never decide what to do) and it was FANTASTIC! A gondola ride with champagne and dinner! So much fun. Would highly recommend. Works for every budget. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — First duo date *2023-06-10* We chose a surprise date and couldn’t be happier! Went to a pottery class where we got to spin our own clay and create something together. Made such great memories tonight all thanks to duo! **Developer response:** Glad you two loved it! We can't wait to plan the next one! ### 5/5 — Incredibly fun!! *2023-04-15* Our date card read “take your relationship to new heights”! I gifted this surprise date to my husband for his birthday. He was very reluctant, but is now eagerly awaiting our next date! We were told to meet at an address and wear athletic clothes. We went rock climbing at a local gym and had a wonderful time! It was an activity we would never have done on our own, and was so fun to go into it blind together! **Developer response:** That’s amazing! Happy you had a great time and look forward to planning your next date! ### 5/5 — We loved our date *2023-04-09* Emily was great! We had a clue “Your love is on Fire” we ended up going to a place where you make your own candles. “Paddywax” Followed by a dinner date. We told everyone (owner and workers) at the candle store about the app and everyone loved the idea of the app. We had told the Dup app in the section of a little bit ourself that we have been married for 22 years and I guess they thought it was our anniversary so the owner of the candle store thought that … which was cute. It wasn’t but we told them it can be our first experience with the app so we are celebrating that . :) we will definitely keep doing the dates. It was exciting to leave the planning to someone else and just show up and enjoy our date. 100%recommend. **Developer response:** Thank you! We can't wait to plan the next one! ### 5/5 — BEST DATE IDEA APP EVER *2023-03-27* My husband and I love this app. We just started using it and IT IS THE BEST EVER! I love Arie and Lauren and have been following them forever. They have the sweetest family ever! They developed the best app ever!!! Everyone go download this and fun with your significant other!!! Thanks for spicing up date night! **Developer response:** Awe thank you! We appreciate that! ### 5/5 — Try it!! *2023-03-22, version 0.2.1* We did our date. My husband was skeptical, but we went along and actually had one of the best days we have had in a long time. He’s definitely not spontaneous or adventurous and admitted he was glad he went and had a great time! We thought about altering it slightly, but stuck to the plan and we’re so glad we did. It was like a date treasure hunt and we felt young and in love again. Try it at least once, if you let your inhibitions go I think you will love it! We can’t wait till our next date! **Developer response:** Perfect! Glad you are enjoying it! ### 5/5 — Great inspiration to freshen up dates! *2023-03-21, version 0.2.1* Downloaded the app for inspiration as we look to spice up our date nights. With 2 small kids, we tend to just do dinners out, but even seeing things like zip lining, even in the Midwest, that’s a great idea and found a spot 40 minutes away. Or horseback riding. Things that I know in my head, but can look into my local options. Love this app and look forward to booking a personal date when spring comes! ### 5/5 — Fabulous Date! *2023-03-19, version 0.2.1* Our date planner Daan worked with my specific needs. It wasn’t as much of a surprise as I would have liked it to be because I sustained an injury that required more interaction regarding specifics. Daan was fantastic with communicating with me quickly as we had to make some last minute changes. If you are looking for a fun way to explore your city and enjoy surprises give this app a try. It won’t disappoint. **Developer response:** Happy you had a great experience with Daan and we look forward to planning your next date! ### 5/5 — You won’t regret it! *2023-03-18, version 0.2.1* Absolutely loved our surprise date and the free tips as well. Finished our first surprise date today with a romantic picnic by the lake and ended it with an evening horse back ride with beautiful views. Off to a boat show next. Can not wait for our next surprise date!! Thank you! **Developer response:** Thank you, look forward to planning your next date! ### 5/5 — Felt like we were on THE BACHELOR *2023-03-15, version 0.1.8* Our date card told us we would be “getting hot.” I didn’t know what that meant, but it sounded exciting. We were given a location to drive to and showed up at what looked like a factory. We were told we would be meeting a guy named Justin there. It was a full on adventure. Immediately upon arrival, we were greeted and told we would be doing glass blowing. Justin showed us the ropes and made sure we didn’t hurt ourselves. I had no idea that regular people could partake in glass blowing, but with Justin’s supervision we made some really cool pieces. It was something I would have never thought of for a date and the app did all the planning and scheduling for me. It was just like an adventurous surprise date you would see on a TV show. We will definitely be using duo for many more dates! **Developer response:** Thank you! We are loving this review, much appreciated! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
