The Wild, DESIGNED TO HELP YOU GO BACK TO MEETING PEOPLE NATURALLY, OUT IN 'THE WILD' The Wild is the platform for people who are tired of conventional dating apps. By using a platform specifically designed to help you meet the right people while you’re out, The Wild preserves the critical in-person first impression when meeting someone new. You often know within a few seconds if there’s chemistry (or not!) when you meet someone in person. WHY CONVENTIONAL DATING APPS ARE FAILING YOU They provided us with convenience, and overloaded us with too many options. Humans cannot effectively form a lasting social connection when you meet and interact with someone electronically, over text messages. The Wild only allows messaging when you are at the same physical location as another match, mainly to facilitate an in-person meeting. The goal is to get you to the right places so life can happen naturally, not electronically. WE BELIEVE IN MEETING PEOPLE ORGANICALLY After you sign up, you enter physical and social details about the people you would like to meet. When you choose to go online, The Wild plots all the people who match with your preferences on a map, providing you the knowledge to decide the best places to go for a higher chance of meeting them in person. THE WILD IS SAFE We’ve spent the past 10 years developing and testing The Wild to make sure it’s safe. There are many safety mechanisms built in to ensure you can’t be tracked. Your location isn’t updated in real-time, only every 5 minutes. Go online while you’re out, go offline any other time. Set privacy areas around any location and The Wild will hide you automatically. When you walk or get in a car, The Wild disables your location automatically until you reach your destination. Stay completely anonymous, or make your photos visible is you want to be recognized. FREE TO USE The Wild can be used completely free, or you can upgrade to add extra perks. SUBSCRIPTION INFO Payment will be charged to Google Account at confirmation of purchase.

But there just isn’t anyone on here. I’m a male in Denver and there are maybe 10 women on this app. it’s a great idea in theory, but without a mass amount of people it’s not gonna takeoff, it just takes up space and data ### 3/5 — Has some technical issues *2025-06-12* I like the concept of the app but at least for me it continues to lock up on the location settings. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app several times but continue to have same issue. Hope one day it gets to working. ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2025-06-06* I am in a Midwestern city, but I’m in a pretty big Midwestern city nothing zero. All I can spot are Crickett. They need to do better advertisement or maybe find a better way to do the app especially at some point we have to pay and if we’re not seeing anything why pay I don’t know if this is a good idea. ### 1/5 — Completely and utterly useless *2024-09-01* There is no one on this app and no one wants to show their location to anyone else. All the good rankings are fake. ### 5/5 — Great Idea *2024-09-01* Tried all the conventional dating apps, this is a completely new way to meet new people! ### 1/5 — Monetized with no user base *2024-06-18* Get users first, then monetize. Launch in cities where you have enough people from an email list or something. In addition to a privacy zone, only populate people who are currently at known nightlife venue locations. ### 1/5 — Really Sketchy App *2024-05-29* I really can’t understand why people would want to use the app that shows your exact location, it’s extremely sketchy. I tried it once and felt like I was going to be found by all the weirdos on here. Ifyou don’t want to be tracked, don’t download this app. **Developer response:** Hi Tdeyoungz, we are well aware you are not a real user of the platform and are only submitting malicious reviews that are being reported to Apple. If Apple continues to see your Apple ID submitting malicious reviews, they can take necessary actions to limit or restrict your Apple account. To answer your concerns YES, we are a location based platform! However its not as simple as showing your location to others. There are many protection mechanisms put in place that protect the safety of our users that are very important to understand, so thank you for allowing us to call them out here! When you go online, you are ANONYMOUS by default, so nobody has the ability to recognize you, unless of course you want to be, so you control whether or not your photos are visible to others. Basically, you are just an anonymous pin on the map to others. Also, your location is not updated in real time, so it's not necessarily true that anyone can see your "exact" location. Another safety measure we've added is detecting when you are in motion, your location is paused until you reach your destination. Lastly, we encourage you to set privacy areas that automatically protect any location that is "off limits" like your home or work. These are a few of the safety measures that assure you can't be stalked or tracked on the platform. We've even user tested these mechanisms to ensure you can't be tracked through the platform. So, thank you for allowing us to discuss these features as it's important for all of our users to understand how and why Swerv is safe. Even if it's in response to your fake review, it's a great place to explain how it works under the hood! ### 1/5 — Drier than the Sahara *2024-04-19* Guys / girls. It doesn’t matter. There is NO one on this app. Multiple weeks, never a soul. Do urself a favor and get any other app. Crashes constantly. **Developer response:** Hi there, We haven't officially launched in your area yet, but we'll notify you when we do! Feel free to check back every now and then in the meantime. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-04-03* Great idea, waiting for more people to get on. Works seamlessly ### 5/5 — Love this new concept *2024-04-03* Excited to see this platform grow! Very cool idea. Excited to use this when I go out with my girlfriends 👯‍♀️ ## Frequently asked questions about The Wild ### How does Swerv help me meet people in person?
