## What is Summer?

Summer is the dating app for people who actually want to go on dates. Instead of chatting endlessly and never meeting up, on Summer you only have 25 messages per match to make a move or move on.

Limited messages
When you get a new match on Summer, the two of you have 25 messages total to see if you hit it off! Remember…conversations on dating apps shouldn’t last forever, so plan a date before it’s too late.

Locked Chats
Once you’re out of messages with a match, the chat will lock. We are serious when we say we want you to actually meet in-person. Summer is for dating, not pen pals!

Explore page
Instead of forcing you to say yes or no to every profile, Summer shows you a bunch of profiles all at once so you can pick who catches your eye.

Nearby
The people on your Summer explore page are nearby and recently active. No more worrying about matching with profiles that don’t actively use the app. 

We believe the first date should happen IRL, not over text. Meet your next first date on Summer!

### 5/5 — Hi

*2025-10-25, version 2.5.0*

Ok

### 1/5 — BOTS

*2025-10-11, version 2.5.0*

This app is full of fake profiles. I was on it for exactly 24 hours(because it wouldn’t let me delete my account) and I got about 10 matches and they all were scams and bots

### 3/5 — Summer

*2025-10-11, version 2.5.0*

Not bad

### 5/5 — Summer

*2025-10-06, version 2.5.0*

Cool dating app 👍

### 1/5 — Every profile is a scammer

*2025-09-29, version 2.5.0*

After a little while of use I quickly figured out that literally every single woman I have talked to on the app was a fake profile after a quick image search of their profile pics. They either want you to talk to them on telegram to scam you. Or it’s a woman that says she wants a date but then tells you how much she charges for sex.  I’m not sure how apps like this stay operational. But don’t bother

### 5/5 — Dating

*2025-09-22, version 2.5.0*

🔥🔥🔥

### 1/5 — Not what it seems

*2025-09-19, version 2.5.0*

Was looking for a dating app so I downloaded this. Turns out it’s just a bunch of hookers. If that’s what you’re looking for great, but for people that are just looking to date not ideal. Also very stupid but you can’t see people’s locations so every conversation starts out. What city are you in? Not sure whose stupid idea that was.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-09-15, version 2.5.0*

Nice

### 1/5 — Worst App

*2025-09-04, version 2.5.0*

“This site is overrun with scammers pretending to be women. I’d say 99% of the profiles here aren’t even real. Don’t waste your time or money on this worthless site.”

### 5/5 — dating

*2025-09-01, version 2.5.0*

been hit or miss
