Ratings and Reviews
This app is a really good idea, but it does have some issues. The first issue is that people don’t show up for dates a lot of times. Most of the nights where I had a date lined up my date ended up cancelling on me. Sometimes I’ve even had multiple dates cancel on me in the same night. The other issue is that most of the people that you get matched with end up living too far away from you for you to ever meet them in real life. The last issue I would like to see changed is for there to be more events to go to. Overall this app is a good idea but it could use some changes.
A Refreshing Twist to Dating Apps
But how else were we able to gauge who we’d get along with? There was a significant hole in dating apps that couldn’t replace the natural intricacies and delights of meeting someone in person – where you can be attracted to someone who can surprise you and be a better fit than your ideal mold of a person. I think Filter Off provides that bridge, where you can get the close to that magic of meeting of someone in person. Of course it’s a hit or a miss, and it can be frustrating not knowing if someone checks off your boxes, and the app itself can use some upgrades and has some ways to go, but I can totally see this app becoming the new frontier of dating in the future and perhaps replace the monotony and paradox of choice in the current leading dating apps. I’m excited to see where this app goes, and hope that it can help shift the current culture of casual dating that has needed a revolution since Tinder hit the markets.
Confused
Registered for one of their virtual speed dating events a month ahead of time. Received tickets through Eventbrite by email. Did not receive any further communication about the process so assumed the night of the event, I would just log onto Eventbrite app and it would allow an option to join the event. Nope. Only after throughly looking through the info, it says to download the Filter Off app. Event is at 8:00pm, I’m realizing this 5 min to 8. I download the FO app and nothing on there says what I am supposed to do, after it took me more than 5 min to go through their required profile questions for setting up.
If you’re going to host an event and you want people to register and RSVP, then email them specific instructions on how to join said event. It was so frustrating being taking the time to prepare to attend an event only to not have the information on how to attend. Especially for people that dating is difficult for – who prep themselves and have to really push themselves to get out there. And then they do and can’t even participate. Please fix this.
Developer Response ,
Here’s what we’re going to do:1. We’re going to make it explicitly clear that the app is required to join the event2. We’ll send out an email an hour before the event to let people know how to join3. We’re going to be working on a web app (very shortly!) so that it’s even easier to join.
