Too much AI

I tried this very briefly. I do not like how much AI is used in this app. It forces you to pick an AI photo of yourself that looks nothing like you. I am not a fan of AI whatsoever. I don’t like how it auto generates everything for you. It’s a neat feature, but it doesn’t come out correctly.

Best dating app I’ve seen so far

I was very impressed with how detailed it was. It has a real AI that ask questions about you. Learns who you are, and pairs matches together for the community to have their input on if that couple should be together or not and then if so, then you can match with that person. It’s really cool.

Fun for matchmakers

Awesome concept for a dating app. I’m not single but I like the matchmaking concept. Sometimes you truly can see some folks together and others not together. I hope our matchmaking efforts aren’t in vain and that we actually create some long lasting couples.

Can’t upload photos

The app won’t let me upload any photos. And anytime I do, it links to the photo guidelines. I’m not trying to upload malicious photos, and I would argue all the ones I’ve tried to upload fall under what they’re looking for. The amount of times I had to retry the profile photos is insane. I finally got through that and got stuck at the uploading screenshots to “catch your vibe” and I could not get a single photo to upload, so I had to skip that part. Now it’s saying I don’t have a good enough “head shot” so I uploaded my headshot from work and it keeps giving me an error, saying my eyes are not open. I’m sorry I have squintier eyes than the perfect ai produced bs photos you have on the marketing. That’s kind of ridiculous. I get the idea of weeding out bad or inappropriate photos, and I appreciate the effort. But if it’s not going to accept real professional photos of me, then it doesn’t work.

So fun to play

Signed up as a matcher and have had so much fun playing match maker!

Maturity

One thing that stood out here was that one of my matches actually texted me that she’s exploring things with someone and would be going off the app instead of ghosting like everyone else. Very wholesome and mature.

Something different finally

Dating apps have felt stale for years, but Rivet actually surprised me. The social matching concept is genuinely fun. it feels more like a game than the usual swiping experience. Love that other users are involved in the matching process, it makes the whole thing feel more human. I can tell it’s in its early days but I’m into it

Loved the matching feature ❤️

Fun app to set people up, I have set up my friends so many times and it worked out well, so doing it here feels natural to me. Liking it so far, and a friend of mine met someone off this app who’s kind and warm, so 5 stars from me for this.

Very fresh

Interesting concept of matching others, and they even gave me 100 karma for a contrarian win. I think you can encash the karma as well after a point. I spoke to some really interesting people who were my vibe and I’m now in a relationship with someone I met here. Both of us still match other couples for fun.

The convo really captured my story. Best dating profile imo.

This dating app is quite unique. You speak to AI and the it learns about who your person can be and who you are. It made me a stellar dating profile, it wrote stuff about me in a way that honestly I couldn't have. Got a couple decent matches, so far so good.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback ! We now also have redemption unlocked for our matchmakers. Help people find better matches and get rewarded !

Like crowdsourced dating!

Really like the direction here. Very different than other apps and feels more wholesome and less toxic, focusing very much so on match among for others and having others do it for you. Feels… nice :)

Response from developer

We love hearing this. We've always believed dating shouldn't make you feel more lonely. There's something special about a whole community rooting for you. Really glad Rivet is delivering that for you.

Social Matching

I was honestly kinda tired of blind swiping and then matching with people I had nothing in common with

This app feel different, the community sort of helps pick matches for me so that people I see actually makes more sense and convo feels easier to start

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing this. The whole point of social matching is to show you people that actually make sense for you, and it sounds like that's what's happening. Really glad to hear it's made a difference.

Loved the concept

Concept of social matching feels refreshing and fun

Response from developer

That's really great to hear. We've thought a lot about how to make dating feel more fun and hopeful again, and it means a lot to know it's coming through for you in the experience.

Great concept but poor execution

The biggest problem for me is I get tons of community matches but they *never* translate into actual matches. Running something like 0/50. I like the “matchmaking” concept, but it has several problems. It doesn’t actually address the illusion-of-choice issue that plagues dating apps. It also often asks me to rate pairings with insane age gaps, sometimes 18 year old guys with 30+ year old women. It’s a waste of everyone’s time.

Response from developer

Thank you for this honest feedback. We're sorry the community matches haven't been translating for you yet. That's not the experience we want for anyone on Rivet. Social matching is meant to cut through the illusion-of-choice issue of traditional dating apps. We truly believe that collective human intuition can and will get you closer to a real connection than any algorithm can. That said, we know we're still growing and refining, and it’s comments like this that will help us get better. Please reach out to us at support@rivetdating.com so we can look into your experience and see how we can improve the app for everyone.

Community Matching idea is interesting

New take is fun. Voting is feels like power back to users. Prefer not getting ranked by some algo which is not public.

Response from developer

Thanks! That feeling of power being back in your hands is exactly what Rivet is built for. We believe the power of human intuition is better than any algorithm on the market. So glad you're feeling it. Happy social matching!
