Ai Matching Gone Wrong
I used this app twice. The first date I was matched with someone who held moderate political views. Now listen, I described my ideal partner as someone who values human rights especially coming from a family of immigrants. Moderate felt like a clear mismatch. Also the photos of this match were somewhat fratty. I also described wanting a partner to build a serious connection with. Although, on the date it was apparent he had no intention of being in a serious relationship. There’s been two huge gaps in what I’ve described and what was presented but that’s Ai for you. Ai is not a real human listening and matching with care. It simply receives data and then by whatever system it utilizes, makes a “match”. Or mismatches in my case. This wasn’t better than any dating app and in some ways it’s worse. It does not display relationship type i.e. casual hookup or committed partnership. It’s definitely a modern approach that’s why I was intrigued but there are serious gaps to consider if you’re hoping for intentionality.
Lastly, I’ll just say since when did we require ai to book our dates? There is so much to be learned about how a person plans and where you choose to go (low effort - high effort) that will be a sneak preview of compatibility. Removing this aspect removes helpful information on a person and felt like the wrong move.

AI matchmaking, without the matches
Despite the exclusivity angle, once you make it in be prepared for an empty room. This app has few users. Save yourself the trouble of signing up as it’s a lot of work for no results.
Takes forever, zero results
I signed up for this app and did the AI conversation which ostensibly sets up your profile. Several months later, the app was still blank instead it was still looking for something for me. I am not a very picky guy. I get tons of matches on other apps. I live in San Francisco. There is not any shortage of people here. This app just doesn’t work like it says. They want you to invite friends, in order to pass every single hurdle, and they won’t even start looking for a match for you until after you invite your friends. I deleted the app. You are much better off just using Hinge or The League or something.

Still on the Waitlist
Did the onboarding 5 weeks ago and have been on the waitlist since ...
Pretty disappointed
Finished making my account like over a month ago and it still hasn’t been reviewed yet (which is separate from being on the waitlist) so just a bit frustrating especially considering it’s all AI-driven so I would guess it shouldn’t take long to get through a high volume of people.
I read through some of the other reviews and learned that you get charged $15 for your first match and also are not able to communicate with them at all beforehand so just felt kinda blindsided by those two things.
