Description
First Round's On Me is more than a social network; it's a movement championing a new era of human connection rooted in genuine, in-person relationships.
Through an innovative dating app, engaging podcast, and curated events, we empower individuals to embrace their authentic selves, cultivating an open-minded community bonded by mutual respect, understanding, and intentionality.
FROME'S THREE DIFFERENTIATORS:
● Plan your date within the app
● Chat enabled 24 hours before your date
● One date per day
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
1. Invite: see someone you like. Send them a date invite directly through our app. Choose your favorite place for a drink (coffee, tea, cocktail, or mock-tail), pick the date and time.
2. Accept/Decline/Modify: have a date request? Accept, decline, or modify the invitation and only chat with your date 24 hours before you meet.
3. The rest is up to you!
FROME's UNIQUE FEATURES:
1. Simplified Date Setup: Select drink, day & time, and venue for your invite – setting up that first date is a breeze!
2. One Date a Day: Avoid overwhelming matches and small talk. Cherish each connection with one confirmed date daily in your calendar.
3. Timed Chat: Chat opens 24 hours before the date. Real-life connections matter – meet in person, not through screens!
4. Calendar Block Off: let potential dates know when you're available to meet.
5. Express Interest: if you're not ready to ask someone out yet, let them know you are interested by asking them to plan a date. (You can also see who is interested in you by clicking the heart icon in your calendar tab).
The SKINNY ON FROME
“Our mission is to help people actually connect in real life,” FROME's CEO told us. “In today's world, we have a lot of virtual connections, but human beings are becoming more isolated and lonely, which is ironic. I think that is because we forgot how important it is to connect in real life.” http://DatingAdvice.com “The app, which is designed to ensure users meet in person, is inspired by a time when people met organically instead of primarily on dating apps. With FROME, users get off their phones and together in real life.” http://Yahoo.com
*FROME is free to use, but we offer premium subscription options which give you a few perks, such as the ability to chat 24 hours before your date starts and the ability to save a profile for later.*

Ratings and Reviews
Waiting for your app to come to my city
I learned about this app when Joe was ‘The Single Woman’ Facebook page. By the end of the live feed I was excited to start using the app. Unfortunately it is not in my city yet. But I will check back periodically to see if it is. I live in Columbus Ohio and hope you come out here soon.
Updated March 16, 2023; I will definitely give you five star rating when it comes to Columbus. Not only because it will come to my city but I think this will actually work for me. I love the concept of meeting people instead of just texting or talking forever.

Hi Laisy Daisy,
We are working on Columbus and it should be launched soon! Once it is out will this help get us to the 5 stars? :)
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!

Hi Chrissssssstopha,
Thank you your feedback, we apologize for the inconvenience and would love to make it up to you. Please reach out to support@firstroundsonme.co so we can take of this.
In regards to the issues you mentioned, we did release a new version of the app and most of the things you found have been fixed, we will make sure we are on top of this moving forward.
Thank you,
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.
