Website Design & Usability

When it began its journey as an online dating app, it was clunky. The buttons were haphazard, and the layout was anything but aesthetic. Thank goodness the company decided to go for a complete image makeover and upgrade.

What the website achieves with its aesthetics is what it loses in delivering its goods. Some of the features on the site need a second thought. A majority of the place on the screen is taken away by loud, pesky advertisements. We understand that the company needs funds and so ads, but they are too on the face and very distracting for them to usurp place on the screen for displaying the search results and profiles.

Some of the features on the website are still worthy of praise. A little though, in the revamping of the site may do the trick.

Users Profile Quality

Profiles are nearly filled, and most of them have all 16 photographs up – mostly nudes. The website allows explicit and graphic pictures. The registration fields are simple. The aim is to have a detailed profile for the algorithms to work well. Information on the profile can be edited as and when required. The profile and the picture are open for browsing. Writing a blurb and a bio about you is a step in the right direction. There is a field about your sexual preferences and fetishes too.

Mobile Applications

The mobile application is not available on Android. The iOS app also needs a few improvements. For instance, there is no push notification on the mobile app. The design is classy and gives out a positive feeling. The functions are all very similar to the web version. The site navigation is a cakewalk. The app is big on the messaging feature. Checking for users who liked and messaged, you can keep you checking the phone for hours together.

Membership Price and Other Payment Method

It is possible to collect coins and credits apart from renewing your periodic membership. There are two types of membership here

• The auto-renewal one and
• Non-renewal membership

For the auto-renewal membership, members have to pay $7 for a week, $12 for a month, $30 for three months, $55 for six months, and $99 for a year.

On the other hand, members will be liable to pay $8 for a week, $14 for a month, $35 for three months, $65 for six months, and $124 for a one-year membership.

The non-renewal membership is about 20 percent more than the auto-renewal because it does not automatically renew your membership at the end of the billing period, as the other con websites do.
