### 5/5 — I would 100% recommend

*2026-07-24*

Such a great app! So secure and easy to use. I also love that it's full of people looking for genuine, long-term relationships

### 3/5 — Good but super glitchy

*2026-04-07*

The app is really good. Probably his reasons it’s a really good app and it helps bring people together but also the biggest issue I would have to say is why is uploading photos so difficult? You click add photo and it doesn’t really add the picture -  you have to keep trying. Too much work just to put a picture.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-04-03*

I thought dil mil was bad . This takes the cake. Very laggy , if you are not interested in someone and you hide the profile it shows up back . So now you’re going through the same set of people over and over again .

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-01-19*

This app is awesome for south asian queer desis, love how they have detailed information for every profile which makes it easier to send request to someone who matches ur preferences. Awesome work! 
Cant wait to find my forever thru this app🙌🏻

### 5/5 — QUEER DESI DATING SORTED

*2026-01-19, version 1.1.10*

The best queer desi dating app! We’ve so badly needed this in our lives! So glad for this! ❤️

### 4/5 — Give it a shot

*2026-01-14*

I liked the interface of the Intro dating app — it’s simple, clean, and easy to navigate. I also enjoyed talking to people on the app; the conversations felt more genuine and comfortable compared to many other dating platforms.

That said, there’s definitely room for improvement. It would be great to have the option to upload additional photos, as that helps users express themselves better. Adding the ability to share a direct Instagram handle (optional) could also make it easier to connect and build trust outside the app.

Overall, it’s a promising app with a great concept, and with a few added features, it could be even better.

### 2/5 — Limiting profiles

*2026-01-12*

Only shows 3 profiles in all of nyc, but others can see and send me matches, this is limiting

### 5/5 — Recommend this app

*2025-10-27*

I love how great this app is. It has quality matches and I am really liking the app so far

### 5/5 — Great App. User Friendly

*2025-10-23, version 1.1.3*

I have been using the app for a couple of weeks now and while I have yet to make a match, I love that everyone is looking for a serious relationship, as I am. 
It’s easy to use and set up an account. Give it a try!

### 1/5 — Hardly 2 people but wants to have a Bollywood level criteria to be considered

*2025-10-21*

I got an email that Oscar rejected me, as if it was a real Oscar prize….until I realized that it was about this app. Never mind I deleted it! Bringing people down I would have taken it personally if it was Oscar prize but for this app, lol. Too much high prizes and perfect fit model to squeeze in, making ones self confidence sink low, creating unnatural expectations to be the best in order to be accepted even in a new app with a community that is not even 10% of the US population. So much. A toxic app for Queer people that creates a toxic dating culture. 

Acceptance and less competitive. Everyone is different. Don’t compare apples with oranges. I can be overweight, short, having low quality pictures, unshaven but still be able to be part of dating. Love is for everyone, the core value that the app doesn’t have. If someone be it this app, or either the date can’t accept me in my worse state, that means they can’t love and accept in wholly. Colors come in black and white. A pitch perfect works exists in IG, bring out your real life in the digital world. Although I am so much talented, successful in a young age, cute, and a lot of people admire me and like me, but I had a hard time clicking good pics and I generally don’t appear that well in pics as pics can’t justify your worth. And that is the reason this app did not accept my profile although I filled everything they required, even the selfie part. So shocking. Wants Ranveer Singh in their app and can’t even able to reach the level of even a shadow dating site.

**Developer response:** tl;dr We have turned off notifications for rejection by a potential match. 

Thanks for sharing your experience, Purplesam36. We are truly sorry that the rejection emails felt hurtful. Apologies! Our intention was to be clear and transparent, not to cause pain. We heard this feedback from members and have now turned off all rejection notifications by email or push. You can still see the status privately inside the app, but we will not notify you.

We care deeply about building a warm, welcoming community where people feel safe and respected. All members are selfie-verified and most are here looking for real relationships. We take reports seriously and review them quickly.

If you are open to it, we would love for you to give Intro another try. And if you have ideas on how we can do better, please email us at queerdesimatch@gmail.com
