Summer - Dating & New Friends 17+

This app is great. They don’t try to scam you by making you pay to see your likes and to message other people, but you do only get to like a few people a day. You also can’t message people unless you match, which may or may not be a good thing depending on your preferences. It’s a great app interface overall. It’s easy to slide between pictures and quickly see what people are about. There are only a few issues I have with this app. One, you can only filter by age and man/woman which is annoying because then you’re talking to people from over 100 miles away which isn’t bad but you can’t filter them out. Two, not a lot of people have anything in their bios with real substance, so you’re quite literally just scrolling through others’ pictures. It makes it hard to get to know them, but I guess that’s what matching and messaging is for.

The creators of this app claim that this is more intuitive than the usual swiping that occurs on the majority of dating apps, but I firmly disagree.

After setting up your profile (which is a lot less in depth as say Bumble or Hinge) you’re thrown into a 3 by 4 layout of profile pictures of potential people you can match with. I argue that this is way more overwhelming than being shown one person at a time. Then, to view someone’s profile you must click on their icon to bring up their About Me. Now because this app doesn’t ask many questions about preferences, you’re simply shown their bio, and a list of like, 5-6 preferences that they’ve chosen (e.g, if they smoke, their height). Most people do not give you much to work with, with many opting to say very very little about themselves in their bio. You really don’t learn anything about someone before you “match” with them other than their looks.

From my very brief experience with this app, I’d say it’s highly unintuitive for true dating and getting to know someone, but no, I have not gone through the process of actually matching with someone and trying to talk to them. I simply do not have enough interest in furthering my time on this app, so I can’t speak more on if this is truly a better way to date using an app.

I thank summer for making such a magnificent idealization that is simplicity in mind about being in a structured successful complacency, when trying to circumvent three hundred and sixty with the relativity of privatization subject topics. It’s only difficult, so that’s why I gave it a four star, not because of the non-comfortableness of summer, but because the systems are defined to feel like there isn’t another outlet, so the personification of study in the dating categories hasn’t been very supportive, not a blaming on my part: just to personal from something else that doesn’t help ethnicity situations.
