With Rater, we have built a unique "Anti-Catfishing" online dating platform that is focused on user authenticity, honesty, and safety. The concept behind Rater came from an experience of the Founder when she fell victim to a dating app romance scam in 2018. The financial impact of romance scams has hit over $1 billion (FTC and FBI reports), and that figure is only increasing year after year. Over 70% of online dating profiles are lying about one or more items displayed. And to top it all off, singles are feeling "swiping fatigue" and really craving real-life connection and interaction with others. Rater offers a multi-tiered solution to these issues, combining AI and human verification, community feedback, and real-life event opportunities. Key Features: AI Verified and Human Vetted Profiles: Significantly reduce the risk of catfishing and online dishonesty. Anti-Catfishing Technology: Ensuring that what you see is what you get. Exclusive Real-Life Events: Join Radar by Rater pop-up mixers and meet verified singles in-person. Real-Time User Feedback: Rate your interactions and see feedback from others to help you avoid scammers. Safety First: Every user undergoing phone number checks in onboarding, and profile verification ensures you’re meeting real, authentic people. How It Works: Download & Create Your Profile: Find Rater through social media, word-of-mouth, or our in-person events. Verification: Complete the AI-powered IDMTrust check for authenticity, and get a verified badge for higher visibility in the Rater matching algorithm. Community Feedback: Rate and review interactions to help others engage with trustworthy profiles. Meet at Real Events: Attend Radar by Rater events to connect with singles in person, creating authentic connections beyond the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://raterdownload.com/terms-of-use
