Our easy-to-use interface makes it simple to create a profile, browse and search for potential matches, start answering fun polls and chat in real-time with other users. Simrly uses advanced compatibility algorithms to connect you with suitable partners based on your poll answers, so you can find your special someone faster. Whether it’s casual dating you’re after or a long-term relationship, Simrly is the new way to date. By default, all user photos on Simrly are displayed in black and white. After all, it’s the similarity score that will be doing the talking! Once you match with a user, their photos will be displayed in colour and you can see them in all their glory. Compare your profile with other users based on the polls they answer, and the similarity score that is generated when you match. See how similar you are in a variety of categories, including values, lifestyle, sex, humour and intelligence. Our short, one-tap polls all carry weighted points, allocated in accordance with their relevance to match compatibility. The more polls you answer, the deeper and more accurate your matches will be.

Distance: With our distance search feature, you can find potential matches who are located near you or globally, based on your GPS location. This feature allows you to set a distance radius for your search, so you can narrow down your results and find people who are within your preferred range. This is particularly useful for users who want to meet people who are geographically close to them. Age: Our app allows you to search for matches based on age, so you can find people who are within your preferred age range.
