There was clearly a lot of effort put into this. ### 5/5 — This app is amazing! *2020-12-31* I have been looking for a dating app for a long time but haven’t found any app that’s useful. This SEEN dating app is the best dating app I have used. The interface is excellent, and it is simple to navigate. I like how it is organized by showing people’s profile picture on the home page, which makes it easier to find what I’m looking for. ### 5/5 — Best dating app!! *2020-12-08* Ever since I downloaded this app, I have talked to so many people. Everyone on the app is very genuine and great to talk to. I have been using dating apps for a while now and I will say, this is the best one so far! I recommend this app to everyone especially if you are looking for something special! ### 5/5 — WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE *2020-10-31, version 1.0.21* SEEN is amazinggggg. I feel so much more comfortable going on dates after being able to see how other daters interact with their matches. It’s a place to feel open and free to express yourself. No pressure . ### 5/5 — Whether you’re looking to date or make friends *2020-10-29* This app has been amazing meeting new people in the LA area. Even if you’re not looking to date you can find a new best friend on the app easily. It’s so nice to have a Videochat feature too especially during quarantine when going out to meet somewhere isn’t always possible. They’re building a really great community on this app! ### 5/5 — Fun & keeps me entertained *2020-10-29, version 1.0.21* I love the fact that we can video chat with the people I match with and you don’t just have to date you can make really cool friends too. Totally worth my download cus now I have meaningful people in my life ### 5/5 — Save time and find a great mate! *2020-10-27* Since I’ve downloaded this app I’ve had the opportunity of talking to some great people, and even went on a few dates. This is app is transparent and has features to include videos, such as a story or by just watching other people have video calls. In the beginning it takes some time to get used to the fact other people can see everything you do, but on the long run it helps to find better matches as they already know if they are interested in your personality or not. Am really enjoying it! :) ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2020-10-09, version 1.0.21* I love how transparent this app is.

Tu rentre pas! DON’T BOTHER!!🤬🤯😤 -Andvari 1janvier’24 ### 1/5 — Issues *2022-01-20, version 2.1.2* I was excited about trying this new app but on the sign up page with different sign up options I keep getting failed error due to 500 code not sure what that is. ### 1/5 — Not LGBTQIA+ friendly. *2020-12-15, version 1.0.22* I know this app is new, but it’s not queer friendly. You can only be a binary gender seeking another binary gendered person. Are you bi? Queer? Pan? This won’t be for you. I think in this day and age this is a sorry attempt and an outdated mindset. ### 1/5 — bad app *2020-06-14, version 1.0.14* this app is so bad on so many levels. This app shares your chats with all others members of the app. Imagine private chats read by hundreds of people. reported to apple ### 1/5 — Fake profiles *2020-03-26, version 1.0.8* Scam scam scam Waste of time Stay away 0 stars ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let you change your location *2020-03-25, version 1.0.8* It has me in California and won’t let me change. Don’t know how you expect to meet people when you can’t even get them anywhere near your location on the east coast. ### 2/5 — Boring, lame, not accurate at all *2020-06-30, version 1.0.16* This app is lame, only location is Los Angeles so I cannot tell who is nearby and who is actually from the area. ### 3/5 — wondering why i cant seem to find people that want to chat. *2025-01-02* So i see theres tons of accounts on here, however i cant seem to get anyone to accept my invites to chat. it doesnt matter if i sent invites to people claiming they are admins or just on of the few people im allowed to see in my area, not a single person has accepted the invite to chat with me. honestly im not even sure at this point if my invites are given to the people ive tried sofar. im willing to keep this app dowloaded but please find more girls in my alabama area, my app shows mostly canada or california people that area 2k miles away from me and im hoping for someone local to find me attractive that i can physically date and hug with all my heart. if this app can improve on responses and date options i will improve my review. User:CodyDen ### 3/5 — Decent *2020-03-18, version 1.0.8* Solid app. But i can’t change the location ### 3/5 — ???bisexual??? *2020-02-27, version 1.0.8* This app seems very cool! Haven’t gotten much use out of it, but I’m frustrated there’s no option to see both men & women. Also no option to be non-binary. Disappointing but easily fixable! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New approach to online dating *2022-05-03, version 2.1.9* So far I’m really enjoying using Seen! I like the transparency of the app, how it lets you see any conversations and interactions. It’s easy to navigate and I’m meeting some interesting people on here! ### 5/5 — loving this *2022-04-14, version 2.1.8* beautiful concept and people should take this seriously (be mindful and respectful of your community and neighbors) and have the most fun you can with it! ### 5/5 — Finally Real Talk *2021-11-13, version 2.0.9* A dating app that keeps you honest! Exactly what I have been looking for! ### 5/5 — Unexpected Friends *2021-08-03* When I downloaded this app I never expected to meet guy friends from it. It was to take girls on dates. Surprisingly I’ve even gone on trips with some of the guys from Seen. They’ve come to my house parties and we’re all like a squad in real life! ### 5/5 — The future of dating? *2021-04-16* Ok tbh I was super apprehensive at first about this.... I mean, I’m usually a very private person when it comes to dating... but I also don’t have a lot of time to vet through people and do the whole back and forth messaging thing. I find it a lot more productive to see the person and try and understand who they are that way. Seen makes it easy to vet through possible dates/friends so that I can see who they are before wasting my time. Basically, you can see conversations, chats, vids of the person you “may” go on a date with, and other people. I think this approach forces people to be original and puts on that creative pressure. It’s really interesting and I think this app may be on to something... 🤔 I guess we will see? Check it out 💁🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🙃 ### 5/5 — Download and try it already ! *2021-03-15* I’m typically really apprehensive to try any dating apps but Seen has been so much fun!!! There’s no awkward pressure to talk to anyone or rush into anything you may not be ready for! Seen really gives you the opportunity to be seen ;) and make genuine friendships first that can evolve to something even more amazing — all at your own pace! ### 5/5 — Epic! *2021-03-01* Loooove this app. Such a good way to connect with people and make friends/date. I’m usually against these apps due to horror stories I’ve heard from people on tinder or bumble... but this one is different and everyone I’ve met on there is actually super cool down to earth. Peoples conversations are exposed to the public so keeps people pretty inauthentic and also keeps weirdos off of the app unlike tinder/bumble. Really enjoying my time on there :) ### 5/5 — Great for making new friends! *2021-02-19, version 1.0.27* A great app for meeting new people and making new friends whether you're looking for love or not. I love the video chats and being able to post on my story in the app to share more about myself in a creative way :) ### 5/5 — More than Dating *2021-02-17* Seen really caught me off guard. I wasn’t expecting to meet others that are authentically looking for real human connection. Even though this was started as a dating app, I was surprised to find other cool people in LA that I was able to get to know over video calls. Seen’s unique philsophy of letting you see other people’s past conversations allows you to know who you will really make a good connection with before you even meet them! ### 5/5 — Better than Tinder that’s for sure *2021-02-03* I’m usually not that into dating apps, but this one doesn’t feel pressured or fake. It’s a fun app to meet friends or go on dates and it even gives you the option to video chat which helps me see if I even vibe with the person. Pretty cool if you want to meet new people fast and genuinely 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
