Hatched: Find Your Match 17+

As a woman on this app i was absoutely appalled at the lack of preference settings. In an app where we’re matching without seeing each others pics, I would like my preferences to be solid. For example, I would never date a man with kids. Why can’t i set that as a dealbreaker preference? Also the age preferences are weird. I set to no older than 27 and still saw 29 year old profiles. That’s a dealbreaker to me. This has potential but i could never see myself investing time in finding a partner on this app. seems like it takes too long to connect to anyone, and you’ll spend a lot of time weeding out your “no”s before you even get to that point. This app is for people who treat dating like a sport. I’m willing to guess it would probably take you at least a week to actually connect with anyone on this app. not like hinge where you can just message and go “hey let’s get a coffee” and meet someone quickly. And the questions that reveal themselves over time are not intimate enough to ensure compatibility. so it’s a lot of work to maybeee meet a potential partner. big maybe. If you’re serious about meeting someone i don’t think this app is for you. I also suspect a lot of taken/married men use this due to not having your face circulating. and who else would have time to sit there and go through all of this? married men. and you can’t weed out the ones with kids so. yeah. it’s a big no for me. sadly i wasted my time.

Hey laciexoxooo, this is Mitch, Hatched's CEO & Co-Founder. Thanks a ton for your feedback! Hearing directly from users like you is the only way we'll get better so we greatly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Regarding your points - we totally hear you and are actively working on adding additional match preferences (kids, politics, etc.) and updating the questions to make them a bit more substantive. If you have any additional feedback/questions, please reach out to me at mitch@hatcheddating.com and I promise to personally assist. Again, we value every bit of user feedback so I'd love to hear from you. Thanks again and take care!

At least they fixed the bug where it wouldn’t show you the person location after answering a question, but now it’s gotten worse, but not because of bugs. They used to give you three free egg on options a day, but not anymore, so now you have to spend egg yolk, and most of the time the other person won’t spend egg yolk so you end up wasting it, and I’ve also noticed that the same eggs will show up over and over again, even on the same new egg day… at least it doesn’t seem like they are using bots. Another issue is that some of the questions… are gender biased, like females will answer it one way, while males will answer it the other way, which always leads to a non match, but it shouldn’t be a non match cause girls will be girls and guys will be guys. It’s like a guessing game sometimes, like you have to think, well how will the other person most likely answer this question. There should be an option when the answers don’t match, so see if you’ll accept their answer or not.

Thanks for the feedback, H2_IV_EZ! We totally hear you and sincerely apologize for this bug. We'll get this fixed asap. Once it's fixed, you'll be able to see other eggs' locations under "Over-Easy Basics" within their profile at anytime. Thanks again and sorry about this! Feel free to email our support team at support@hatcheddating.com if you have any other feedback or questions. Happy Hatching!

I downloaded this app from a friend who told me about it. The first day I only got 3 eggs but I found myself immediately enthralled by the concept and the “hatching” experience. Though I don’t hold a ton of stock in the questions presented (they say all of the questions were developed by professional therapists), I didn’t seem to really care - there was something super fun and enticing about answering these questions sequentially with another human being, and seeing the results in real time. It was fun, easy to use, different, and a matchmaking experience that was fundamentally predicated on something other than looks and swiping (as an, unfortunate, serial dating app user, these are all things that I could never say for any other new app that I tried). Though I think Hatched has ways to go (they need to update the questions and provide users with more matches for free - although this might be a product of being so new that they simply dont have enough users yet), I think this concept is commercially viable and that it could be on the cusp of something really, really big. Again, the apps not perfect, but it’s fun and different and is extremely refreshing…which is something I haven’t been able to say on any of the other new apps have been released in recent years.
