The gap
Users in non-major cities struggle to find local, compatible matches because current apps like Duet, DOWN, and The League often ignore distance filters to push paid memberships. There is a need for a dating service that prioritizes genuine local proximity and strict preference filtering without paywalling basic search functionality.
What people say
“So far i got two matches but they didnt really work out but i liked over 100 people and got only two matches ☹️ i dont like the fact you have to pay for all of the features basically which is lame to be for real because im broke so i dont wanna pay per week thats crazy overall its a okay app but just wish it was better also im a little disappointed because they keep giving me people from very far away even though i wanted closer to where i live which is what they advertised but anyway 3/5”
