Review

Too many gays

Waste of time

This app feels like I'm doing an assignment. Answer 100 questions but revel sends you with profiles you have zero interest in. The questions that you answer are irrelevant. One question asked about my parent's occupation, idk how thats gonna be helpful. Overall if you want to date someone just try to meet people on campus and maybe ask them out. I feel that its a way better approach then this superficial app just swiping based on if you find them attractive and then the chance you'll go on a date even from matching is mostly like even lower.

Revel is incredible

The greatest dating app I ever used.

No age filter

Why can’t age be filtered? Unless I’m missing something… I don’t like only seeing people 5+ years older than me.

Response from developer

Thanks for being part of the Revel research project! You actually can filter on age. Filtering is possible for any of the close-ended profile questions (questions that don't have an open textbox for the answer). Tap the filter icon in the top right of the swiping screen, select "Additional Options", and turn the "Apply Additional Filters" toggle on to see available filters. Read our FAQs for more on using Revel and how we decide which profiles you see (and who sees you!).
