NO LONGER IN SERVICE

Got this app in its early stages. Loved the concept. The ice breaker questions are fun and interesting. Very small pool of people because the app is not popular. Eventually, app updates stopped happening. Ice breaker questions ran out. No new marketing from the team. No responses to customer service. No more social media presence. Obviously the app had been abandoned. It was fun while it lasted and had so much potential.

Hi Cheezy, We're so happy you are enjoying the concept! The app has not been abandoned and we have some great updates and news coming soon. Our pool of users is growing, dedicated and filled with passionate people like yourself. We hope you continue enjoying the content!

Pointless.

I haven’t had Lantern for long so I can’t speak on its affects/effects/efficiency in what it advertises. So far all I have done is answer dumb questions that don’t mean anything. That’s not the worst part though. The UI is very slow, when I chose and answer it took a long time for it to register so the next screen would open. Also, there were random videos in between some of the questions that sometimes made sense but only if you think about them really hard, I was just confused why they thought they were needed in the first place.

I haven’t used the app for it’s intended/marketing purpose yet, but I plan on it. I am curious. I will return to either update, make a new, or reply to this comment (I’m don’t know the future but I know the options).

Hi Reisjg, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the experience. The questions and videos are formulated by a team of relationships psychologists and experienced storytellers to provide a fun experience while also helping meet other people. We are always working on bettering the app and have updated many of the videos based on your suggestions above. Thank you for your feedback!

Love the questions!

Commonality along with differences is grounds for good, continued conversation…and continuation is key! I love the interesting questions asked by the app to find your match. I’m excited to see who I meet!

Great new idea for a dating app!

I matched with a people I am compatible with. Really like the answering the questions to get to know people on a deeper level.

Interminable questions, no people

Apparently the purpose of this app is to have users answer hundreds of inane questions, seemingly written by a robot, a robot completely devoid of wit (or perhaps this the cutting edge of robot wit, I don’t know) for hours on end, until they get tired of answering questions and go on and do something more productive.
