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.

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).

Tried for two weeks
I’ve had this app for two weeks and have had zero matches. Other dating apps I average at least one match per day.
Couldn’t sign up
Kept getting an “oops! error unknown” message when I’d click “start journey”.
Still a new app with kinks to iron out. But the concept is refreshing, and users will love that
Ok couple of things first to say
1. The online dating scene is broken
2. People are unpredictable, and therefore somewhat untrustworthy.
3. Dating apps are just a novelty at best, the worst kind of way to find somebody at worst.
Ok now with those outta the way, here's my review of this one: Refreshing and worth sticking around with. Still new so it's got time to perfect things.
Firstly, the app now is crashing. I was using it well for 2 days, and today it suddenly decided to not work, and crash every time I go to open it. That is something weird and worrisome because for the past 2 days it worked well. Now it decides to crash on me. Yeah, not good.
However the app itself is great. The concept is so much better than hitting up some random person in their dms and being all like "wyd?". It's now focusing on only YOU. Yes you. As a person, and how you'll respond to different questions will determine whom you got in common with the most. Sounds a bit complicated, but really it's not. Finding some common interests is better said than done, however this app does it well.
Like I said, some features need tuning, but it's a new app give them space people. Like for example I was matched with somebody from South America. Nice if I was in South America as well, but I wasn't so kinda a leap. Also, the messaging system is still premature. However, with. the right kind of updates they could make the messaging more involving, and get your attention whenever someone has the care in the world to text you back (IF they want to).
This app certainly has more pros than cons, and for someone whose not really giving any slightest crap for love and relationships, it's easy to get started and find matches. For someone who is actively looking for someone, easy and simple to use. And you'll get matches. Not based on who looks the best, but based on common interests, which in the long run will be much better than looks alone. And the bugs/kinks will be ironed out soon enough with constant updates. It's a new app, give it time. It will get there.
After all, they wanted to change the dating app scene. And Lantern Dating is currently doing just that. And that's the refreshing part in a world where bland dating apps exist.
