Loved the onboarding process and hoping that this will shake up my dating experience!
5/5 stars. Been a great experience so far and the onboarding was made fun with the AI agent who could hold an actual conversation with me. Opposite of other dating apps where I’m filling out forms.
Different than other apps and it really feels more personal
