Elate: Dating & Relationships 17+

Great app, but too small

I like the premise of the app and how it’s set out. It didn’t let me fall down a scrolling spiral, which was great for my mental health. And the interactions I’ve had with the technical team upon reporting a bug were superb, not only friendly and responding to my problem, but taking the initiative to ask for further feedback.

However, the app ran out of potential matches for me in less than a week and there were few profiles that I was genuinely interested in. If it had more users, I’m sure it would’ve been great.

If it grows and I find myself single still, I will definitely give it another go. For now, to end on a positive not, the app also made it extremely easy to delete my profile - no unnecessary hoops to jump through, very straightforward and immediate. In the age of “do this, then send us an email, then wait for confirmation” blah blah, this was extremely refreshing.

Best of luck growing the app!

Not enough people

App itself is good and I like the concept, however there are simply not enough people - I have been waiting for new people to appear for like half a day and still nothing.

Also, when you find a match in Discovery, maybe show what the other person has liked about you - at the moment I can see a number of hearts, but I can’t see what they have liked.

Hi enichora, thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate! We're pretty new (just launched in September) but we're growing faster every day so bear with us!

The more you rate stuff in the feed, the more recommendations you'll see in discovery and the thumbs show how much of their profile you've already liked. We're working on a way to show who's liked you, so keep an eye out for future updates!

Great for people who don’t like using dating apps a lot

I used to find swiping through loads of profiles so boring I like how you can only see a certain amount of people a day and like how you only speak to three people as well. You still get people who match and never say anything but that’s just par for the course these days I guess. Overall there’s more people actually interested in going on dates though which is the main thing
