An editorial reading of the saved reviews

An app with an unusual idea: matchmaking based on personality types. Real users appreciate the atmosphere. It feels less superficial than competitors, and people willing to talk by interest do turn up.

What people use it for

Introverts and personality-type enthusiasts open to online friendship without rushing toward an offline date. A poor fit for anyone looking for a partner in a specific city.

What reviews praise
