TroopDate — Dating, Backed by Your People
TroopDate is the first social matchmaking app where your trusted circle helps you find love. Invite friends and family to form your "Troop" — they swipe on your behalf, leave notes on profiles, and help you spot red flags before you ever go on a date.
How It Works
- Create your profile and build your Troop of trusted advisors — mom, best friend, siblings, anyone you trust
- Your Troop swipes, leaves notes, and votes on potential matches
- When enough of your Troop approves, it's a match
- Stay in control — date solo or let your crew guide you
Why TroopDate?
- Better matches — the people who know you best spot compatibility you might miss
- Safer dating — your Troop helps vet profiles so you feel confident
- Less burnout — share the swiping with people who care about your happiness
- Built-in support — stay motivated with your inner circle behind you
Features
- Troop Mode & Solo Mode — switch between group-assisted and independent swiping
- Troop Intel — see what your advisors think before you decide
- Role-based permissions — assign roles like Guardian, Advisor, or Wingman
- Invite friends to join TroopDate and move up the waitlist
Dating doesn't have to be a solo mission. Build your Troop and find love with the people who know you best.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Welcome chooser as the first screen — "Are you single, or swiping for a friend?" — now leads onboarding (ahead of the age gate + intro).
Helper sign-up without a troop (UI prototype) — a friend/family member can create a lightweight helper profile (name + 1 photo + relationship) and enter the app without a dating profile, then invite the person they want to help.
"My Intel" tab for helpers hosts a reverse-invite: text a single friend to either download Troop & add you, or add you to their existing troop.
Troop / collaborative features
Swipe deck gating — swiping unlocks only once a troop exists and the area has launched (city-by-city waitlist); gated users see the waitlist dashboard with invite tools instead of a dead-end.
Member offers / reverse invites (DB + flows) so helpers can request to join a dater's troop, confirmed in-app or via link.
Editable helper avatar on My Intel; helper name/photo now flow onto the troop-member record (visible to the dater).
App behavior & polish
Daters default to Single mode (troop mode is reserved for actually helping someone else); mode resets on sign-out so accounts don't inherit each other's mode.
Login screen copy cleaned up (tighter headline + value props).
Fixes: "My Intel" tab label (was "Profile"), non-scrolling troop tab, and the Matches tab now shows a "pending waitlist" state instead of an endless spinner.
Platform
