HER: Lesbian LGBTQ Dating 17+

Granted that I know a premium version of the app exists.. it’s still very limiting to only allow maybe what, 25 swipes (whether you swipe right or not) daily. Yes, it’s a good theory which will assume users will come back everyday to use the app but after a while it gets frustrating (and I’ve been using it for only 3 days). I think this feature of limiting swipes would work if you’re allowed to swipe right 5 times a day, or if one can add filters so their swipes are more tailored and intentional. Even if you match with someone, there’s no guarantee they’ll actually text you back, but that’s where this cute feature of the HER app gives question prompts to the matched couple. I think maybe there should either be a decrease in the subscription cost (£20 is a lot) or allow a 10 minute window weekly where users can get access to all features (see your likes particularly).

The app is great, for meeting both flings, partners or friends. I’ve had lovely conversations with others who share my interests on the community tab, and in DMs. Most people are in here to meet others, and the filters help with finding people who actually want to talk to each other, not just say “hi, how are you?” And leave. The bio set up is a great help for people who feel awkward setting up bios too, does little prompts, has customisable stickers, personal filters, and gives ideas for pictures to add, which is cute. It’s really interesting to read other peoples bios and the answers they give to questions. If you find it hard to start a conversation, the app sends both users a start off question to get things going, which is nice, and leads to fun convos off the bat. Unfortunately, it’s been hard to find Polyamorous people in my area, however I’m hoping that will change.

I’ve been using Her for just a week now and i’ve noticed that there’s a lot more queer women here than any other app i’ve used before which is a good thing. Most of the women also state whether they’re looking for a relationship or a casual thing which saves you a lot of time rather than finding out later on. However, one thing that concerns me and i’m sure many other women is the amount of obvious men with he/him pronouns and obviously male names. I try to report them every single time but i don’t know whether they’ve been removed from the app or not. So i would wish there was more further communication regarding such fake profiles. In general, i’m happy there’s an app only for queer women.
