<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHer is one of the most popular lesbian dating apps with an estimated 4 million active users – not bad for a niche dating platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Registration<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Queer women can only get registered via their Facebook and\/or Instagram profiles, which is a pretty solid identity verification process – tough to fool the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other cool thing about HER is that it invites other female groups to join up – actually all queer women. They can choose their sexual identity when they register. So, lesbians, female bisexuals, trans women, and even straight women are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most queer women using HER seem to be looking for long-term relationships, but friendships (via groups and participation in frequent HER events) and hook-ups are also sought and found locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interface and Ease of Use<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
HER is not a top app in terms of navigation ease, because there is just so much stuff to see and do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In terms of meeting matches, just like most other modern LGBTQ dating apps, you’ll be doing some swiping. You swipe right on those you like. If they swipe you back, you can then start chatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Users can also request “friends” just like they would on other social media apps. If they accept you can then chat. And they can see what content their friends (and others) post on their profiles and do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Registration and Profile<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Once the registration process is complete and identity verified, members are ready to create profiles. These are simple and involve answering a few questions and state a preference for matches. Users can add an unlimited number of photos. The best profiles will include plenty of pics and at least a short bio to be more engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Navigating around is simple and straightforward, given three key features<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Features<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The three key features are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meet: <\/strong>You’ll be swiping once you are presented with profiles that are a match for your preferences and location choice. And once you match, the chatting can begin. One great thing about HER is that messaging is unlimited and free and even allows continued exchange of pics.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFriends: <\/strong>Users can add other members as friends by sending a friend request if they have encountered them through the meet or feed features. If the request is accepted, the chatting may begin, and, again, it’s unlimited.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFeed: <\/strong>This is a social media feature like Facebook, and most other LGBTQ dating apps don’t have it. You can see the feed (and posts) of everyone you’re connected with and comment on them. And sometimes the HER administration uses the feed feature to make announcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are two feeds that users can view – local, for members close by, and global, if you want to chat with members around the world or if you plan some travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Users can craft their own posts, even including photos and videos. The more active users are, the more others will see their profiles. And for users who just want friendships, it’s a great feature. Not all lesbian dating apps have this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HER does not have a desktop version like many other dating sites, and this might be a drawback for those who prefer larger screens in their homes and who do not have many mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Events<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
HER hosts or recommends a lot of in-person events in locales all over the place – concerts, parties, LGBTQ+ festivals and events, and users can purchase tickets in the app. There is a section on the dating app titled “Events,” so anyone can check what going on close by. There are also digital events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Profile Boost<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
This is a feature that only comes with the premium paid version. Once a month, users can use the “boost” feature, and their profiles will be among the first seen in both the Meet and Feed sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cost<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
All of the features above except profile boost come with the free version, and they are more than many other LGBT dating apps offer. But the premium versions of this dating app offer some more great features. There are two premium choices – Gold or Platinum<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gold: <\/strong>About $10\/month, $45\/6 months, $60\/year. Features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- no ads<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- enhanced filters for finding others<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- read and “like” receipts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- change location at any time<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- going incognito so others outside the app won’t know you are using it<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- rolling back your original rejection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Platinum: <\/strong>$15\/month, $60\/6 months, $90\/year<\/p>\n\n\n\nFeatures with a Platinum subscription are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- All of the Gold feature<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- view read receipts in the chat features<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- view online members when they are on<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- a one-time free profile boost<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- See online members now<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Compared to the costs of even a mainstream dating app, HER prices are reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summing It Up<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
HER is one of the best dating apps for queer women. It has so many free features and so many ways for women to connect for friendship, casual dating or long-term relationships. If there would be any suggested improvement, it would be for a desktop version and the ability to change location at will any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summing It Up…<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
OKCupid dating site, among all LGBT dating apps, is pretty inclusive and LGBTQ friendly. It offers plenty of ways users connect with like-minded others and appears to have a large LGBTQ user base and is a safe space for the LGBT community. Location services are in place. While it does not have a social networking feature, members can find a like-minded soul mate if that is what they want. It would be an improvement to offer users an expanded method of customer support other than just email, and the dating app should consider holding events like many other LGBT dating apps do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summing It Up…<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Plenty of Fish has become a popular dating app with the LGBTQ+ community because it is LBTQ-friendly, offers lots of options for gender choices, and because the free version offers so many more features than many other apps. The many ways to connect and communicate with other members and the ability to take a match more private, such as being able to send voice messages, are pretty attractive. There are also dating games which are fun ways for members to interact and connect. Fake profiles do slip in, and the “Share My Date” safety feature should be made available to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Premium = $25\/month; Premium Plus = $50\/month<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summing It Up…<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Badoo has become wildly popular in many regions of the world, especially in Latin America. However, it is moving into a far-reaching user base, including North America. The free version offers a lot although the premium and a la carte options offer even more. Methods of communicating with matches include video chats and livestreams, something that costs on many other LGBTQ dating apps. One drawback for sure is that users are only allowed to change their gender preference one time. And user support is only available via email. The free version includes ads, and these can be a bit of a distraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>So, Here We Are<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are 8000 online dating apps with more being added every day. It’s overwhelming to be sure, and people in the LGBTQ+ community have a lot of work to do to find the ones that are best for their needs and goals. Hopefully, these 10 best queer dating apps will give members of this community a leg up as they look for the connections and the social networking goals they want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
