I honestly wasn’t quite sure what I was exactly looking for when I joined PearUp. I have tried other apps, but I just wasn’t making any serious connections. And, then I met my boyfriend, or eventually to be. We kicked it off immediately and spent the entire night on FaceTime, getting to know each other better. He left for training in the army. We wouldn’t speak again for more than a month; but when we did, it was like coming home. My boyfriend and I have been together for months already, approaching the one year milestone. In that time we’ve both graduated college, getting ready to start our first job and kick off two successful careers. I often catch myself wondering what our lives would look like, had we not connected that one day, that last day before he disappeared for an entire month. The timing couldn’t have been any more perfect, as cliche as that may be. I’m not one to credit an app for my life, but I will say, I’m thankful everyday that I had the opportunity to meet the person I call my other half. That’s exactly what PearUp is - an opportunity. What you do with it, is up to you. With any dating app, there are unsuccessful stories; however, I want people to know, it doesn’t matter how or where you met, what matters is that it’s possible for your love to grow out of the most unexpected of circumstances. And, so here we are.

Great App!I recommend this app for basically anyone looking to meet new people. I don’t view it as exclusively a “dating” app, and believe although the option is there, it’s also a great place to make new friends. The “rating” feature is amazing and unique for these types of apps. It allows you to see guys in both your area and around the entire world. If you plan on traveling, I definitely suggest utilizing this feature to meet people online before you arrive. This enables you to meet potential date, no matter what intent, and allows you to learn about the good spots! I did this when traveling several times, and all I can say is I was very happy and fortunate to have this app. I believe you can get a free trial before upgrading to “Premium”, which will allow you to familiarize yourself with PearUp, and realize why upgrading is not only the best route, but is fair in features and price. Try it out! It’s undoubtedly the best tool out there for meeting new people. I’d just like to add (because it’s happened to all of us), the people on here are way more friendly and courteous. They try to constantly out-do themselves, and will even ask for your opinion or suggestions on any potential changes, but it’s unlikely as this app provides just about everything! 😚

I will say first off, this app is good in theory. Having algorithms match you instead of two people both swiping right. HOWEVER...I’ve been using this for a week now and I’ve gotten messaged/matches by a handful of fake profiles. I’ve blocked and reported as many as I came across (and let me tell you, it was a lot). And you know you’ve come across a fake profile when: they start out the chat with a generic intro, follow up with maybe asking about location or other information, usually lots of spelling mistakes, and then ending the message asking to use a chatting app like WhatsApp because the app you’re currently on is “too buggy” or “they’re getting spammed with messages”. It’s the same song and dance on lots of Dating apps, but this has a lot of them. If you get rid of the fake profiles, I definitely will rate this app higher

This is the first app review I have ever written in the 8 years of having an iPhone. The app itself is super interesting and the set up is very unique. But it literally has the BIGGEST flaw. It doesn’t filter by distance. What I mean by that is, since having the app I’ve matched with quite a few people. However, these people are in Michigan and Minnesota and Georgia and IM IN NEVADA. What’s the point of matching with someone if I can’t “pear up” with them in personI say this not to be rude but just to voice my opinion. How do you have an app for meeting people, if the people are 500 miles away. Boasting 10 million matches is awesome. But that’s because my profile is going out to the entire continental United States(I assume). There’s attractive people everywhere so of course if the pool I’m choosing from is the entire country I’m gonna match with more people. It’s not really a successful match however, if I can’t ever see or meet this person. Honestly if they fixed that it’d be a pretty solid app. Idk HOW it’s getting more than a 3 star rating. I’ve met 1 person near me and I’m pretty sure that profile is a fake.
