I was a skeptic too

Truly a dating app like no other! I had long sworn off dating apps a thousand times and could tell you every type of horror story. I didn’t want to do long distance after trying that previously and my diocese wasn’t unlocked, but I decided to download it anyway. Even without the diocese unlocked or the ability to state I was not interested in LD, I found more than one local guy to chat with and was introduced to the loml.
4.5 months in and I couldn’t picture it any other way! As he and I often like to say to each other, thanks Emily and Daniel 😂

Amazing!! We're so glad you were open and let God do the rest. Lets go!!

Best Catholic Dating App

Sacred spark is the best Catholic dating app out there. It attracts singles who are fully committed to their Catholic faith and interested in pursuing holiness. I love the matchmaker feature of the app, where family and friends can peruse profiles and send them your way. I’m so glad this app exists and I recommend it to so many people

Best new Catholic dating app

Catholic dating made easy, I love the matchmaker feature because so often I see profiles of men that would be great for my friends. Met some awesome guys so far on this app and really believe this is a gift to the Church!

SacredSpark/CatholicMatch Success Story

Me (Anya): Is it a sacred spark success if we matched on catholic match first, deleted all of our accounts and then found out through email notifications that we matched on sacred spark too cause we forgot to deactivate our accounts? We've been dating for 9 months now!
Emily Wilson: Sure is!!!

So here we are...Tyler and I originally matched on catholic match (about 4 years ago, July of 2022? and then after already meeting/dating for a little while (even longer story involving several mutual friends, including a DEACON, someone realized we both still had active profiles that we THOUGHT we had deactivated but we only deleted them! So this is love, in 2026!

Just like the others

Same experience as other dating apps. Not a lot of profiles available. Nothing unique stands out with this app. Decided to stop using it after a month of no matches.

I met the love of my life on this app!

I had no idea there was someone so sweet and absolutely perfect for me, in all the big ways, but in all the little ways I hadn’t even thought of. I love him so much! Thank you SacredSpark!

Great Catholic dating app!

All around a fantastic dating app for Catholics. Way more straightforward and streamlined than CatholicMatch. Would highly recommend.

I have to be harsh

I have to be harsh because this app has potential, the fundamentals are really good but there are pretty bad flaws. First of all, very few people, I understand marketing is costly, but every parish young adult ministry and college ministry should be talking about it and mentioning it. More Catholic content creators and pages on social media should be promoting it. Another big issue, is that the free version allows you to see likes if you click on the profile, and the issue is that once the person opens it, they can just back out and not make a decision. I feel like if you open a like, you should be forced to match or decline, if thats not an option then viewing your likes should not be allowed. Another big issue is the cost, a bit too steep, should be lowered just a tad bit. Another big issue is ghosting, I am not sure what the gender ratio is, I am a guy, but I am astonished at how little affective responsibility there is in a Catholic app where charity should be at the forefront, perhaps a scoring system or penalties should be implemented for ghosting. Finally, way too many lukewarm people that don’t accept church teachings.

Hi! Thank you for this review because it’s clear you see the potential in what we’re building. We’re a small team, and we’re working hard to grow SacredSpark both organically and through partnerships with parishes, Catholic organizations, and creators. We’re now in a position to accelerate that growth, too, so we’re excited about where things are headed. A lot of what you mentioned is already something we’re actively working on. We’ve implemented a change where, once you reach a certain number of likes, you have to take action on them- either accept or decline-before continuing. We want to encourage people to actually engage rather than leave others hanging. We’re also taking ghosting seriously. We have Dating101 and other formation resources built into the app to encourage better dating habits, and we’re exploring additional ways to encourage accountability and charity in how people interact. And when it comes to being authentically Catholic, we address the importance of adhering to Church teaching right from onboarding. As for the size of the community and pricing, those are areas we’re continuing to work on as we grow. Building a healthy Catholic dating community takes time and a lot of resources, but we’re committed to doing it the right way. Thanks again for taking the time to give thoughtful, constructive feedback. Reviews like this genuinely help us make SacredSpark better.

App is unusual

Adding a voice intro does not work and prevents you from continuing with setting up the app and using it… but there are other Catholic dating apps and from reading the reviews maybe it’s a good thing. God will be done.

Won’t let me record voice prompt

I keep trying to upload my voice prompt but it won’t save. The app won’t let me look at any other profiles until I upload one.

Picking up momentum

I’ll admit—when this app first came out, I was disappointed. The marketing campaign before it launched was extremely good, so my expectations were high. Initially, there were some suspect product decisions, such as not being able to see any pics of the person until matching. But SacredSpark listened to feedback and iterated extremely quickly! Now this is my favorite dating app. I like how the app is set up, and I am seeing really great Catholic men on this app, some of whom I’ve gone on dates with! My success rate on this app is much higher than on others! I haven’t met the one yet, but SacredSpark gives me hope that he’s really out there and that I might just meet him on this app!

Glitchy

Good connections, but the app itself I find to be super glitchy. Delayed notifications or trouble opening up messages

Very amazing!

I cannot say enough good things about this app! Yes, you are limited on the amount of likes each day but I think it’s appropriate for this type of dating app. I truly feel that I am able to meet new Catholics and possible pursue getting to know someone without fearing they aren’t interested. Emily and her husband have done an amazing job creating this app! I highly recommend for any young single Catholic! Whether you are looking for a relationship, or meeting new young Catholics fired up on their faith!

Matchmaking Feature Ruins it

Most of the men on here are weirdos who are clearly on the spectrum and send me likes and of course I just delete them. Then when I get a like from a man that is actually normal - I never hear back from him and then I realized it’s probably because of this stupid match maker option. I’m sure there are moms and sisters making profiles for their sons and brothers and sending likes for them when the men are not actually interested in me. There’s also the issue that I am 32 and received three likes from men in their 50s in one week. I reached out to sacred Spark and they said I had to toggle so that only men within 15 years of my age could see me. This is absurd that I had to set that parameter myself. It does not surprise me that a gross 56 year old man would send me a like what surprised me is that SS allowed it to happen. I am sure the 50 something year old men are going after the girls in their early 20s.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! Dating apps naturally bring together people with a wide range of preferences, and while we can't control who chooses to send a like, we do want members to have meaningful control over their experience. That's why we offer settings that allow you to limit who can discover your profile, including the mentioned age-range visibility option. We appreciate your feedback and are always looking for ways to improve the experience for our community. Please contact us directly at support@sacredspark.app if there is anything else we can do for you!

Catholic Dating Made Easier

This app came into my life exactly when I needed it. Frustrated with failed relationships over matters of faith, I vowed to only date practicing Catholics. The Catholic dating pool in my immediate area is SMALL, but about 1.5 hours away, a tall handsome and incredibly faithful Catholic man was looking for someone to love the Lord with. I liked his profile, and the rest is history. Go say your prayers, then download sacred spark. And don’t be lame and skip the voice note intro.

Just got engaged!

My fiancée and I just got engaged and we met through SacredSpark. Like almost all things in life, it’s about how much effort you put into it. I will forever be thankful for the team at SacredSpark for playing a critical role in my life! Deo Gratias!
