As Kevin Malon from “Office” Once said“Why is the time to waste time say a lot of words when it says lots of words?”
For Julia Lestage and Lisa Le -RO, the manufacturers of a new dating app LoveLooking for love online does not feel like filling in a mountain of papers. Sometimes, what you need is the word chosen with a few caution for the connection.
Lovezack profiles look like other blind dating apps but with a twist. Instead of obscure or hidden profiles, users see the five words selected by possible matches. When users press and hold the screens on their phone (the app does not use swing mechanics), the profile pictures are published.
The five words can be from personal features and jokes to the current feeling or even random details, such as their lunch sandwich components are an entertaining technique that we have seen a beta user trying during our exam.
The concept is that the five-word constraints allows users to be creative and challenge them to be short and cute, encouraging more fun conversations and “What do you do for a living?” Or additional used pickup lines.
Online dating profiles decided to create Lestage and Le Lovzack after being disappointed with the job restart – full of posted photos, filters and cautions that may feel exaggerated with bios.
“It’s not Lin LinkedIn. Where’s the fun gone?” Lestage told TechCrunch, reflecting a feeling of shared Many online dataWhich dating giants may explain why they like Tinder The recent quarters have faced challenges.
While serving as a judge of the Webby Award, Lestage received the idea, which was notoriously limited to the winners’ five-word speech. The app has also taken inspiration from the New York Times’ Popular Wordle GamesThe
He shared with us that when he re -entered the dating scene, the applications sucking out of experience, noted that the traditional platforms emphasized on the presence of excessive platforms. So he decided to use the five-word challenge for the spice on his date, which helped him understand that people tend to use words such as “ad” in their thoughts.
“It is important to the stories behind the words,” the Lestage explains. For example, he talked to someone who mentioned the word “disco”. When he asked him more about it, he discovered that he wrote about the history of the disco. “I was, ‘Well, are you not interesting?'” He said.
Other standout features include options to keep “bet” or “hold”. The bet is like choosing a profile, but the main difference is that users must have a bet by entering the opening line of the five-word. It gives something interesting to respond to the match.
Users are limited to a maximum of five matches per day, so they need to be strategic in their preferences. This is where the “Hold” feature of the Lovezack is effective, if users allow a profile bookmark, they are uncertain about anyone.
In addition, the five-word details can be updated daily, adding a social aspect to the application. The Lovezack Archives allow all the previous entry to scroll through all their written things by archive.
“You can see in real time, every day, how they are expressing themselves through their five-word updates … Your story is about to change every day, like your mood and weather, all day.”
In the future, there will also be a premium subscription that will include an “All in” button, a version of the application of a “super -like”, but in this case, it will use five bats on one person so that they do not match anyone else for the rest of the day.
When someone does not come to comparison with someone, Lovezack says it tries to reduce the ghost through the need to write a preset message when setting up users’ profiles. Bye notes are automatically transmitted to someone they are relatively.
Another interesting aspect of Lovezack profiles is that users are encouraged to use fake names to protect their identity. This can reveal mixed reactions from users when using pseudonym on dating platforms. Some individuals may question the authenticity of potential matches, while others may choose to keep their personal details private until they are more familiar with another person.
Lovezack says it applies a selfie verification process to ensure that the person behind the profile is actually claimed.
Other security features include reporting and blocking capabilities, as well as censorship of banned languages ​​and obvious photos and an urgent feature that enables users to communicate with police and protection hotline. (These features were unavailable during our beta exam but it is expected to be included in the official version)))
Lovezack is ready to launch its iOS app next month. It will be launched first in London, with plans to roll out in the next US market, including Boston, New York, San Francisco and others. An Android version of the application will launch in India by the end of the summer.
