First Date
Such a refreshing change from the usual dating apps! I was honestly getting tired of endless swiping that never seemed to go anywhere. Known made it so much easier to show who I really am and what I’m looking for. The AI matching was actually way better than I expected, and my first match turned into a really fun date with someone I genuinely clicked with. It feels like the app focuses on real connections instead of just collecting matches. Excited to keep using it and see where it takes me!

Been waiting in the application stage for about 5 weeks now…
Not sure if this app works. How long does it take to review an application? It’s been several weeks
There's Hope For the Dating Apps
I've never been much for any of the typical dating apps but decided to give Known a try out of curiosity and it's been a completely different experience. I've felt the focus has been more on quality rather than quantity. I've been on some great dates so far with genuine people who were clearly there for the same reason I was. There's been less emphasis on how someone presents themselves virtually and more on how the chemistry is between you and the person sitting across from you.
If you're open and serious about going on actual dates this app is for you.
The Known team is also great. They're very responsive and I've loved seeing all the great updates since the app went live.

Hi there, thanks for your kind review!! Quality > quantity is our motto, and we're glad to hear you're feeling that.
Bad idea
I was intrigued my known and I liked the initial interview call, but I hate that you have to send 3 invites to be considered. I sent an additional 3 to be "priority" but still no matches (and i selected several bay area locations where presumably the app has already launched). Then I found out if you get a match you cant even see their picture and you have to pay $15 up front. I am not paying $15 to go out with someone I have never seen before... If your date doesnt show up (which several other reviews mentioned) you only get a credit, not a refund, and who knows when you will get your next match! The only way to avoid paying is to invite an additional three people. Ummm how many single friends do you expect us to have?? Who live in areas with access to the app and are interested in an AI matchmaker. So silly. This app is asking too much too soon of its users. At this stage in development, your payment is our free data. On top of that we are required to share with 3+ people to actually be able to use the app, another form of payment in exchange for use. On top of that you have to pay for dates! That's just greedy. Ick!

Wait list 🤦♂️
I feel like it would be a good app if they didn’t have you on a waiting list for months
Yessss to no swipe dating
Love the app- especially the intro. What an awesome idea-
I can’t wait for this to go global! 🤩

Great core concept!!
Outcomes > swipes!
Referrals
Would be great if you didn’t have to onboard 3 people talk about awkward especially if anyone applying has their entire friend group in relationships or starting to date and not wanting to look at other relationships.
Matches
disappointed I’ve only had one match… and the match didn’t respond it’s been a few weeks and no matches been not a great experience
Garbage
Doesn’t work. In time people will see this is a scam
So unique and refreshing
Being able to share my experiences with an ai bot was one of a kind, recommending to all my friends. This is real dating.
Great concept, masterful execution
Blown away by how many pieces are in place on this app, the onboarding flow is genuinely ace, and the concept of matching people’s datapoints like this is genius and so well performed. Great app.
mlm strat
they make u onboard 3 other people to find love
Life changing
This is such a great app. I love how you are able to find someone for me so easily and effectively! It was effortless and helped me find someone I adore! Best app!
Weird…
Ok the concept is fantastic, and the execution looks like it should be good. The interview was thorough and the matchmaking blurbs really do scratch a bit under the surface, at least better than other apps. I got matched with someone and they set up essentially a blind date because they barely let you talk. It was exciting though! And I met someone who I thought was great, and would’ve liked to see again.
Here’s where it gets weird, because she invited me to some popup thing, saying it’d be a fun group hang with some friends. Then she completely stood me up - gave me the wrong time and wasn’t there when I showed up, and soon after completely ghosted. That would normally be just one of those infrequent annoyances that you learn to suck up as a man on a dating app (granted now in my 30s most people are more adult), but this one was more frustrating because it was simply unnecessary. Because SHE SECRETLY WORKS FOR KNOWN. Saw her running some event on instagram and maybe even the thing she invited me to was a Known event? So bizarre… can’t even really guess why you’d hide that you work for them? Like they have to fill a quota or something to actually use the app, but not really interested in dating? Whatever it is, it turned me off to the whole thing… y’all should cut the BS over there, we’re real people out here.

easy to use
the setup process was pretty quick and i think this app is more genuine than most dating apps
Excited for what’s next!
I really liked how the process felt personal from the very beginning. The phone call was relaxed, easy to talk through, and made it feel like they were genuinely trying to understand what I was looking for instead of just matching based on a profile. It definitely felt more thoughtful than using a typical dating app. I’m excited to see where it goes!
