SPECUDATE - ONLINE DATING'S REAL GAME! *Who we are* SpecUdate was founded by college students who wanted to make meeting online a more fun, relaxed, engaging and enjoyable process while also improving conversation flow. *How SpecUdate works* When you make a profile on SpecUdate, you also make a "Truth or Lie" game about yourself. This game is shown to other people when they come across your profile on the app. When two people play each other's game, one or both must get 50% or more correct answers about the other person to connect and chat! SpecUdate gamifies your experience finding new people. At the same time, once you connect with someone on SpecUdate to chat, the app uses the game aspect to help you learn more about your connections for more fun, interesting conversations. By having users play each other's games before connecting, SpecUdate makes finding friends and dates online a much more relaxing and enjoyable process. Additionally, SpecUdate rewards you for guessing correct answers about a person. A cool bonus! *Why SpecUdate is different* The dating app concept began as, and often still is, a simple "YES" or "NO" decision for people when they look at another person's pictures and bio. Many apps still follow this long traditional theme. The problem is that these apps become very boring very quickly, and do not help you make the first move once connected with someone to chat. This is a frustration our CEO experienced in his late teen years, finding himself constantly bored on dating apps and struggling to spark good conversations. SpecUdate was founded to provide a more fun interactive way to connect online. This idea led to our gamification of the online dating & friends experience, SpecUdate! *What we stand for* SpecUdate was designed to put high focus on the individual, self-expression, and diversity. The name "SpecUdate" refers to the action of "speculating" about someone in the game itself. The "U" in SpecUdate is capitalized because of the high focus the app places on "U", the individual. SpecUdate is also for everyone! We want everyone we can to have a fun experience connecting online in the best and safest environment we can provide. *Why it matters* This past year has proven that we all have much more to learn about each other. We must be more open in our conversations, more understanding, and we must show more love and compassion for one another. If there's anything SpecUdate aims to help besides finding great relationships and friendships, it is these things mentioned here.

More fun than other dating apps. ### 5/5 — SpecUdate review *2020-12-03, version 1.2* Very good and nice way to match and meet people. Very relaxed and easy to use and very fun to guess on people’s profiles. Definitely would recommend to others to try and download! ### 3/5 — Brilliant idea but needs a bit of work *2020-11-29, version 1.2* Good app. Would love to be able to switch locations though. Would love to meet people in that area even though I may be home for the holidays. **Developer response:** Hello, thanks so much for your feedback! This is something that will be implemented eventually. We are just deciding how and when it will be done.

I love the activities and different types of things on the app. Great app for all ages. ### 4/5 — Good way to meet people *2020-11-05, version 1.2* It's the first dating app I've tried and I enjoy it. It feels like a good way to meet people and as it's a new platform, it doesn't have the connotations of other dating services. Also, I very much appreciate I was able to download it and it still functions properly on my iPhone 5 (many apps are too new for the OS). ### 2/5 — Can’t even make a profile *2020-10-27, version 1.2* I’ve tried making a profile at least 20 times. Everytime I find myself at a blank white screen when pressing one of the buttons. Sometimes with name, sometimes with birthday, sometimes one of the other buttons. When I think I finally got it to work, I find that the same thing happens when pressing the next button **Developer response:** Sorry to hear your issue. Can you please help us by specifying which specific device model and iOS version (found in Settings/General/About) you have so we can address this? You can email us at info@specudate.com. ### 5/5 — Love! Love! Love! *2020-10-19, version 1.2* I love this app. It’s so much more fun than other dating apps. The concept of the two truths and lie is super creative and engaging. I feel like it’s definitely focused more on connections compared to other dating apps. Also super inclusive and you can look for just friends. You don’t have to look for a relationship. Super cool! ### 5/5 — Best App *2020-10-18, version 1.2* Great App , love the interface and the game concept ! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-10-17, version 1.2* I LOVE MEETING NEW PEOPLE WITH SPECUDATE❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️new fav app ## Frequently asked questions about SpecUdate ### How does SpecUdate's "Truth or Lie" game work?
