First downloaded pod after a friend recommended it - he was so right about its convenience. I have never enjoyed doomswiping on traditional dating apps, and was looking for a fresh, genuine, and importantly efficient way to meet real people. A match on pod after just a 3 minute call is genuinely worth 10x that on any other app. I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the next big thing. TLDR; Love the idea, and so far the user experience is seamless - like my friend, I would recommend it!

Meeting new people nowadays feels hard and unnecessarily hard because so much of dating has turned into swiping. I really loved that Pod uses video, since it helps people get to know each other better. A single photo can be influenced by so many variables (based on personal experience) and does not always show who someone really is, but video gives a better sense of personality!

no more wondering if the guy I'm meeting up with is unhinged (no pun intended). you get to see everyone and talk to them on 3 min calls before you meet up with them which I love and helps me filter through ppl so much more efficiently. feel like I wasted so much time on the other apps. does require a lot of energy tho bc I can't just rot in bed and swipe

Very impressed by all of the features offered. I met many cool people, love how this provides an alternative to traditional dating apps. I was skeptical at first, and there are a couple technical issues here and there. But i would still recommend this app if you are tired of endless swiping.
