Escape single player mode! This app has only one goal: To help you find the geek of your dreams. This app was developed by Germans which means: No jokes. No scams. No fakes (but maybe some Lederhosen). You won’t find any "gamifications" like minigames or other fluff to distract you from finding your perfect geek match. ("Eyes on the target please" - as Hans, our manager, keeps saying if we come up with weird ideas.) What you will find is real, human geeks looking for someone to share their lives & loot with! Every (!) profile gets checked by our team to make sure it is real. That is a lot of wörk, wörk, wörk for Heidi, our moderator… and she loves every minute of it. This means you might have to wait a bit before your profile is approved. But if you’re serious about finding a geek partner, we think the delay is worth it. The special Geek Match Algorithm immediately shows you which geeks will be the best match for you. The WARP SPEED MATCH feature shows you the geeks in your immediate area, and push notifications make sure you’re always up to date. It's fast. It's effective. It's German quality wörk available for the whole world to enjoy! Browse geeky profiles, check pictures, and even answer messages for free. Most features are free. But hey, all this wörk wörk needs to be paid for somehow, right? So we do have credits and memberships - but don 't worry, there are NO surprise renewals (we hates it foreveeeeer). Leave it to Germans to finally get Dating for Nerds right! You’re a gamer searching for a gamer dating app? You’re an otaku searching for an anime and manga dating app? You came to the right app! Now go and have fun - it would make Hans so happy if you find your player 2 on g33kdating!

FetchaDate is Where Pet Lovers Meet! The place to connect for friends, pet playdates, and especially a date for you! DATING, FRIENDS, PET PLAYDATES What we do at FetchaDate is eliminate the hurdle to who you’re looking for. We are the dating app where singles meet over what they already love: dogs, cats, and maybe even exotic pets. Those who trust FetchaDate are people who treat their pets as family so you don’t have to worry about them not being a “pet person”. Now, we can’t guarantee every person on here loves animals, but chances are they wouldn’t be here if they didn’t. NO PET, NO PROBLEM We understand people may be between pets at the moment so ‘No Pet, No Problem!’ Choose from a variety of virtual pets that represent your lifestyle like a bird, fish, turtle, horse, pig, or even a snake! HERE’S HOW IT WORKS - YOU GET A WINGPET! You can tell a lot about a person through their pet and that helps make better matches. With FetchaDate, your “WingPet” starts things off making your introduction. Your pet’s picture is seen first, and your pet gives clues about your interests. Why is the pet seen first? We feel this leads to more success, because who wouldn’t swipe right on a cute pet? And, Fetchadate creates a better experience by bonding over common ground. CHANGING THE RULES TO FIND YOUR MATCH Searching offers a few options: 1. See a pet you like and swipe right. And, if their owner swipes right on you, find them in your “Matches” tab. Swiped right but not a match yet? They will appear in your “fav’d” tab. OR 2. See a pet and scroll up to get clues about the owner before swiping left or right. OR 3. Need to see the person before swiping? Tap on the ? to see who’s behind that pet and select a heart for yes or X to keep fetching. PROFILES: FETCH - MATCH - DATE In FetchaDate, it’s quick to create your free profile including your values, interests, and personality. A profile also consists of name, age, location, occupation, and motto. And, you get to make a profile for your real or virtual pet. FREE TO USE PLUS UPGRADES FetchaDate is free to download, and create a profile with a limit on swipes, and chat! We offer optional in-app purchases of monthly, 6 months, and 1 year subscriptions with discounts available. Subscriptions offer boosts, extended swiping, chat, and additional pet profiles. Price chart is displayed in the app before making a purchase. Any free trial period is for a limited time. Any unused portion of a free trial period is forfeited after purchasing a subscription.
