Aslamlkeum. I have been on this Salams app and other app, MuzMatch app for more than 6 years. Now, I have found someone who is so amazing, sincere, kind, humble, beautiful, and many other words that I cannot express enough to describe her, but all I can say is that naseeb bring us together by the way of Allah SWT, and I am so grateful forever. My friendly advice for all of you who have been on this app(s), sabr is the main key to getting a successful match and keep praying tahajjud as long as you can with sincerity, I am sure you will find someone to get married with. I have been praying tahajjud for months and alhamduiallh, I was not expected at all when I got matched, and then we kept talking for months leading to marriage. All I can say is that I am extremely grateful to Allah SWT for bringing her to me because she is so much more than my dream woman. In conclusion, I wish you guys all the best on your endeavors and have sabr (patience). Please take care and always be thankful of Allah SWT. On the final note, this app is genuine, useful, has great features, many good potential matches, and finally, I believe this is the part where it is important to be truthful what you put on your profile leading to get a good match. Best of luck, guys! Jazak Allah Kyar.

Although I liked new features such as personality types, it would helpful to be able to filter by personality type and other things such as love languages or even if they are gold/platinum/etc. members. For some people who take personality types, we have an idea of who we might me compatible with and could be a good place to start. It’s good to have in mind when going through profiles and have more nuanced filters that can inshallah help us find a spouse. If we already paying, I would like to narrow down my pool by people that might be more compatible! Also please consider a ranking feature (for self) where we can sort through matches and profiles to help us categorize profiles we like and interested in. Having a long list of swipes makes it hard to figure out what we would like and potential people we would like to match with. I feel like the telegram feature doesn’t really work and I would like to find/match with people who are also active and actively looking for someone. This is why I mostly swipe on other people who are also playing for gold/platinum/etc. since it shows there more likely to be on the app. Overall, I know there’s people who are serious about marriage and people always saying they can’t seem to find serious/active people, so a feature where we can connect with others who are more active would be helpful, especially since we’re paying a lot to have more features!!!

Major functionality was changed for version 11.0, which for some reason is not reflected in the release notes. App was working perfectly before the version 11.0, so I don’t understand the change. The UI for profiles moved the basic information about a potential match such as ethnicity, height, martial status, etc. to the bottom of the page, which is impractical. Also the ability to review profiles that were liked, passed, and the ability to favorite have been removed, which I find to be a major change. So you are not able to send a “Note” anymore for any liked profiles, if you decide to take a more affirmative action for a potential spouse. And the removal of passed profiles make it so that if you decide you actually want to match with a person you passed is no longer an option. Favorites were also useful if you have a lot of likes and want to organize them. The new version also truncated the “about me” narrative descriptions and I don’t see the version 11.0.1 attempted to fix this issue. I assume you just have to retype it because the data was loss during the upgrade. I see there is something on the UI about a Diamond subscription but of course it doesn’t line up with the actual subscriptions available (Gold, Platinum). Overall I am disappointed with the practicality and quality of this new version.

I met my husband on Salaam around the last week of Ramadan of 2020, May. I remember being so mindful of Laylatul Qudr night and praying to Allah to guide me and I kid you not, I had the feeling it was time to go on the app. That week I started speaking to my husband. Because of COVID and the beginning stages of the city lockdown, we spoke for weeks until towards the end of June of 2020 we decided to meet in the only dine in restaurant at the time, which was the park lol. We continued speaking, in July we met one more time. By August we were engaged and my October 10, 2020 we were married. It was not an easy experience, but using the app was very straight forward. I liked the ability to have the various filters to make the process less chaotic or confusing when coming across various people. I believe there was a blurring of my image option which is a nice plus for females. Now yes the app was the vehicle that helped me find my husband, but those looking for a spouse make sure you keep Allah as your guide and not lose sight of Him, if you want to find your his or her.
