Connecting a niche group
I’m very grateful this app exists. The reformed community is comparatively small, and it’s nice to be able to meet folks. People are fairly spread out, but the administrators help offer many ways to get people connected, like regular group video chats and resources for men and women on singleness, marriage, and the steps in between.

Good for Calvinistic/Reformed Christians
In my experience finding like minded believers is difficult on secular dating apps or even broadly Christian apps. Apps like Tulip Singles help a lot! You can expect most of the people to be fairly decent folks since they have a very strict screening process. While the downside also is that this means the app might not be as flexible and convenient as others with this screening and writing detailed testimonies/Q&A. But overall it’s worth the hassle since it has some pretty cool, Calvinistic believers from around the world.

Not user friendly
I haven’t even begun to use the app and I am more than frustrated with it. I tried doing the verification multiple times in the app but it doesn’t work. I even reread the instructions and the in-app verification just doesn’t work. And so I just left it for a bit because I don’t spend a whole lot of time on my computer and I came back into the app and they wrote in my bio to verify via photo??? Send me an email for pity sake, don’t write in my bio for me to maybe, possibly, a slim chance for me to see that message in the required time. It’s the silliest way to get someone’s attention I’ve ever seen. Give a notification, send an email, approaching users like that for verification is just…unprofessional. Eventually I finally was just fed up and did go onto my computer but I don’t even know if the photo I uploaded was the proper one because once it uploaded there was no file name to say “this is what file you’ve uploaded”. It simply said that it received the photo and that’s it. If I recall correctly, it was purely on PC for a while, but if you’re gonna make an app at least finish it before release because it very much does scream “unfinished, rushed app”. It’s extremely clunky and after an extensive q&a about beliefs the least you can do is make the photo verification process a little bit easier to accomplish. I haven’t even gotten to use the app yet and yet the UI is already insufferable.

Very Exclusive!
I don’t have prior experience with dating apps, but this felt much more involved than I was expecting. There’s a whole application process that has to be manually approved. It felt like applying for a job, which was more than I anticipated. Ultimately, I was told that I was disapproved because in my bio I said I “wouldn’t necessarily call myself a cessationist” and affirmed what some have taken to calling “cessationist-lite”, that perhaps The Holy Spirit does still give gifts in exceptional circumstances but that the charismatic gifts are unbiblical.
I don’t want to give a negative review because I’m sure it would’ve been a fine experience if I had gotten a chance to use the app, and I do believe in the cause of a site for reformed folks to meet, but I do feel like potential users should beware that if you disagree with perhaps even less definitional points of reformed theology then you might not be able to use the app. Like, at all.
If I could give feedback to the developers I would personally think that, while it’s fine to have the vetting process be so involved for something as specific as this, maybe lax up a bit on the amount of theological unanimity you require of users to even get in the door in the future. Like, can’t users themselves split hairs between hardline cessationism and like middle-road cessationism? Perhaps I’m underestimating how important that distinction is, or perhaps there was a combination of reasons I was really disapproved
Just some feedback that I hope helps someone — either the devs or users or both

Great app!
This app is easy to figure out and use. Has all the features of the site.
