Dating apps just keep you swiping, here's why quality beats quantity in the world of online dating.

It might seem obvious, but with so many options for dating apps it’s important to be smart about which ones you’re using. Dating is hard enough without having to navigate your app store trying to find the right one.

 The Inner Circle is the dating app that prides itself on being fully user focussed, and whats unique is that they do everything they can to get you offline and meeting matches in real life. In order to do this, they’ve pulled out all the stops to create a truly quality experience like no other dating app, here’s how.

Every new member is manually screened by a team of mums (yes, genuinely), who make sure that all profile pictures are up to date and clear. You won’t find any grainy mirror selfies, or dog-eared filters on here. The idea is that users can match knowing who they’re connecting with, and ultimately makes meeting in real life far less daunting. Catfish need not even bother.

The next step in getting you offline is the genius ‘spots’ feature. This is a member generated list of date-worthy hangouts all over your city. It means you no longer need to worry about picking the right spot, or fret that it might be too loud or awkwardly quiet. What’s also clever about this feature is that you’re able to check out your own favourite places and see who else likes to visit, you can then jump straight to asking them to meet you for a drink. Instant common ground, it’s perfect. 

 They then go one step further. The Inner Circle throw some seriously outrageous parties for members, all over the world and in a real mix of formats. From basement house parties to rooftop cocktail soirees, they think of everything and always create the perfect backdrop for meeting new potential dates. These are always a sell-out success and are hugely popular among members.

What this app has essentially done is to focus wholly on what dating is really about, meeting in real life. They’ve created a quality experience that is built with successful relationships in mind.

It’s probably due to the founder having created the app in order to find his own partner, but whatever the reason, it works. See for yourself, sign up to The Inner Circle here.
