First Date

First Date is a private journal for your dating life - not a dating app. Use it alongside Hinge, Bumble, Tinder, Feeld, or people you meet in real life. It helps you remember who you are talking to, plan safer dates, and notice patterns without giving another social platform your private notes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every match, screenshot, reflection, and voice memo is kept in the app's local container on your device. We do not run analytics SDKs, ad SDKs, or a dating profile network. WHAT IT DOES - Add the people you are talking to, including where you met, notes, interests, stage, and screenshots. - Use on-device OCR to extract useful notes from dating-app screenshots. - Generate conversation prompts in five tones: playful, curious, direct, vulnerable, and witty. - Plan a date with venue details, address context, and optional walking-time lookup through Apple MapKit and one-shot location permission. - Schedule safety check-ins and keep a trusted contact ready through a pre-filled SMS flow that the user controls. - Use a fake-call escape screen when you need an easy exit. - Capture post-date reflections with text, tags, ratings, photos, and voice-memo transcripts. - Review quick stats and Pro pattern insights across your own dating history. WHY IT IS NOT A DATING APP First Date does not match you with anyone, host a public profile, provide a feed, or message anyone for you. It is a personal reflection tool for people and dates you already know about. PRO PLAN Free users can save up to 5 matches. First Date Pro unlocks unlimited matches, deeper pattern insights, and voice-memo reflection tools. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are shown with Apple's localized prices in the purchase sheet and renew automatically until canceled in Apple ID Settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vida by FERMAX at none against First Date's 1. Vida by FERMAX also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). First Date's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
