Stir: Single Parent Dating App
doubtful ratingStir fills a genuinely underserved niche: dating for single parents where it matters that a potential partner is also raising children. The idea resonates and some users do find real connections. But bots and fakes arrived relatively quickly, the distance filter is unreliable, and moderation is slow to respond.

About the rating
Rating 4.27 vs textAvg 1.53 with 70% five-star ratings in a sample where 49 of 55 textual reviews score 1 or 2 stars. One five-star review is a literal support-team message, clearly not organic. Inflation is possible but there is not enough direct evidence.
Strengths
What users love
- Specializing in parents creates instant common ground from the first few minutes of conversation. One user calls it the best app they have tried and notes the absence of fakes at the time of writing.
Weak spots
What users hate
- The distance filter regularly fails and shows people from other states. Bots and fakes have been reported by several users. The live user base is small: in small towns the chances of a match are close to zero.
Who it is for
Single parents in large cities who want to meet someone who understands what parenting involves. Not suitable for small towns or regions with low user density.
