Dating App Beyond A First Swipe
It is much better than any dating app I have seen. The prompts made me genuinely think what I want in a relationship and got to know myself better instead of writing a single line that would get me a swipe. All the questions are things that a healthy couple must think about. So Lamu not only helps you find a partner be a better partner yourself. Whether or not I will end up finding someone using the app, I am grateful that I went through the prompts that made me know myself better and explicitly write my expectations.

Love it so much
Does all the work for me. Also love their singles activities!! So fun
Helpful and refreshing
I like that the app focuses on intentional matching instead of endless swiping. It saves time, feels easy to use, and gives more clarity about compatibility before meeting someone. A really thoughtful approach to dating.
Matchmaker in pocket
Does all the work for me and much cheaper than all the matchmakers. Nice
Help me save time
as a busy professional, I like it since it does the work for me to find someone so that I can focus on the real in person date.
The app for intentional dating
So much clarity when they curate the match telling me why we are compatible especially great for busy and introverts so easy to use
Nothing works
I downloaded this app because Ada posted it on Next door weird they ask for $10 before you start matching
I paid the money and went through a lot of questions to get my match only to be disappointed not a single match, and the ai kept asking me to increase the age limit and distance I increased the distance but I refused to increase the age limits why would a 25 year old date a 35 year old that crazy I’ve tried reaching out to support both emails bounced back and the contact us on the app is not working either I reached to Ada no response so now I’m here please refund my money so I can’t delete this app.

Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. LAMU is a curated model, which means introductions depend on real compatibility. We intentionally do not generate matches simply to increase volume. Our goal is alignment, not activity. We understand this approach may not be for everyone, and we truly appreciate you giving it a try.
What I’ve been looking for
I’ve always wanted a way to fit dating into my schedule, but never really had the time to do the swiping thingy on traditional dating apps. Lamu s swipe less design and easy on boarding really opened a new world. Met a great girl off Lamu with high quality time!! I can finally have a personal life and not need to make any sacrifices!

Entered in all the information, and it would not let me continue
Response from developer
Hi, our product is for intentional serious daters. The only trigger for not letting people continue is if someone enters 'looking for something casual'. We do this to gate our community. Thanks for your understanding.

I’ve tried a lot of dating apps, and Lamu feels refreshingly different. Instead of endless swiping and guessing, it focuses on compatibility and transparency, which makes the whole experience feel more intentional and less stressful.
I really like the “profile-first” approach. It actually looks at your preferences and matches you more thoughtfully instead of just showing random people nearby. The two matching modes are also a nice touch — Standard Mode is practical, while Courageous Mode lets you filter for specific traits like MBTI or shared interests, which helps if you know what you’re looking for.
My favorite feature is the explainable matches. Getting a compatibility score and real reasons why someone might be a good fit makes it feel smarter and more trustworthy than typical apps. I also appreciate the consent system where you see the match first and the other person is only notified after you accept — it feels more comfortable and respectful.
Overall, Lamu feels slower but more meaningful, which is exactly what modern dating needs. Great choice if you prefer quality over quantity.

A fresh way to match
The app helps me better understand myself through curated quizzes. I would expect such details to learn each other, making it much easier to start a conversation. And LAMU recommended a great partner to me in the Bay Area.
