Description

Date in person, not through endless messages.

First Round’s On Me (FROM) is the social dating app 100 times more likely to get you on real-world dates than any other online dating app—without mindless swiping, small talk that leads nowhere, or chats that never turn into dates.

[ GET STRAIGHT TO THE DATE ]
• Pick a drink, time, and place—skip the swiping and start meeting 200,000+ singles in real life.

[ 1 DATE PER DAY ]
• Focus on one quality connection per day instead of juggling multiple matches.

[ MAKE SURE YOU’RE ON THE SAME PAGE ]
• Your match can accept, decline, or suggest a new plan before confirming the date.

[ CHAT WHEN IT COUNTS ]
• No pen pals, no endless messaging—chat opens 24 hours before and stays open for 6 hours after the date.

[ SECOND DATES MADE EASY ]
• Avoid the awkward post-date small talk—FROM makes it just as easy to plan a second date as the first.

[ MEET LIKE-MINDED SINGLES ]
• Whether you're looking for dating, friendship, relationships, marriage, or just a drink, FROM ensures every interaction is genuine, intentional, and pressure-free.

[ SHOW WHEN YOU’RE AVAILABLE ]
• Use the availability calendar to show potential dates when you're free to meet.

[ SAFETY YOU CAN TRUST ]
• Selfie verification and date check-ins ensure a secure and trustworthy dating experience.

[ UPGRADE FOR EVEN BETTER DATES]
• Unlock unlimited date requests, plan up two dates per day, early chat access, profile saves, activity status, and Supersips to stand out.

[ A DATING COMMUNITY BEYOND THE APP ]
• FROM extends beyond dating with engaging podcasts on relationships and curated events for meeting singles organically.

[ STOP SWIPING. START DATING.]
• No endless messaging, no swiping fatigue—just real dates, real connections.

Too buggy but great concept

UPDATE 7/7/24: Since the most recent app update, it’s prompting me to create a new account! So either my account was deleted or they’re having login issues 🤯🤯 so frustrating!!! Please fix this and let me login!

Great for actually going on dates. But very buggy and no responses to my support requests! Main problem: The app crashes when you try to view someone who asked you out on the same day that you already have a date. So it’s impossible to move it or even look at their profile. Very sad since you’re completely missing out on someone who invited you!! Sometimes after sending an invite or sending your interest, nothing happens so you have to close the app and reopen it to refresh. Chat messages don’t update in real time. For example I was waiting for someone to confirm and finally just sent a message myself and then their message popped up but they had sent it 20 minutes earlier 😒😒. It just hadn’t shown up. So the notifications overall are really wonky. You also can’t zoom in on profile photos which is a bummer. Overall lots of improvements to be made…. But it is much better than other apps to actually meet people.

Dumpster fire of an app

I matched and set a date, but it won’t display her picture, just a gray background because it won’t load the image. It did the same failure to display on my bio when I tried uploading an additional picture. It’s now less than 24 hours and the chat *should* have opened but instead it’s telling me it opens in -5987 seconds. It’s not even the correct number of seconds past the start, maybe 30 seconds before it was only -5700. I literally have zero clue who I’m supposed to meet and have no way to coordinate figuring that out because this app is so horribly buggy. Who knows if she even saw my pictures either. It used to work ok prior to the mandatory update. Whoever is in charge of this refresh should be fired, did they not do any beta testing before pushing this out? Edit: mysteriously the chat suddenly started working about an hour after I left the previous review… did not receive any responses and she did not show, no clue if she ever even saw my messages or attempted to write back. When I went to remove her connection, the app immediately logged me out and when I signed back, she was still there. Clicking report this account button immediately crashes the app. Everything about this app is just broken. Also, did you know they display your last name to matches? Huge privacy violation. Do not join this app!

Need More filters

The core idea of this app is solid- making sure you actually want to go out with someone before liking them is very clever. But that makes the people who pop up on our screens even MORE important. Not having filters for religion or politics is a huge mistake- going to a date with someone who has completely different fundamental beliefs is a disaster waiting to happen. Moreover, allowing you to filter out people who aren’t active- “only show people online in the last day last week, let month, etc., ,” or something like that will encourage users to actually remain active on the app for the hopes of matching and keep up their interest more than seeing only people who left three months ago will. Moreover, there HAS to be a location filter, along with a “what are you looking for filter.” Even as a serious dating app, people emphasizing their seriousness by picking that as an option amplifies that reality. Finally, this app is SCREAMING for you guys to host your own events! You can make it a thing “this Thursday ask your date to go to XYZ with us!”

hi Todebro , Thank you for the great feedback. In regards to filters , filters work great for large apps with a very large user base, we will add our filter and location settings once we get. little bigger. We are adding a "looking for" filter, that is great feedback. And we do have events, we will continue to add more :)
