HONOR: Check-In. Date Safe. Give Back. HONOR is the first dating app built entirely around safety and accountability. Every member completes a background check before joining to ensure no violent criminal record. Ongoing monitoring flags new arrests to protect the community. After each date, both participants rate how safe they felt—creating an HONOR Safety Score that appears on every profile. HONOR matches people based on where they actually go. Using check-ins and optional receipt uploads at places like rooftop bars, gyms, neighborhood coffee shops, sushi counters, live-music venues, and sporting events, we connect people with compatible lifestyles. Traditional profiles can be filtered and curated—check-ins reflect real patterns and real behavior. No swiping: Our algorithm curates matches every Monday and Thursday. No messaging: Automated text coordination makes in-person setup effortless. No bios: Matches are based on check-ins—show, don’t tell. No ghosting: After each date, you confirm if you want a second one; both sides are notified. No awkward check moments: You’ll designate who pays in-app, and both parties are informed. HONOR is also the only app that turns dating into giving. Every verified check-in, receipt upload, and date contributes to donations for local DFW nonprofits supporting women’s safety, children and families, mental-health programs, LGBTQ+ rights, and cancer research. Launching exclusively in Dallas—join early to help shape the city-by-city rollout. A paid subscription is required to access and use the HONOR app. All features and content are available only to subscribed members. https://honordating.com/privacy-policy/ https://honordating.com/terms-and-conditions/ https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
