App Profile: Flamr Dating for Progressives

The app is new. It’s glitchy. There’s I think 3 people within 500 miles of me (and I live in a city of 3 million). So this rating has more to do with potential. Love the concept, if nothing else, because political affiliation for a lefty is about values and I like the idea of a dating pool where you start from a similar value structure. Looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.

Used this app a couple months ago and got a few emails that i had likes... decided to check it out to see how much has changed but it genuinely irritated me so much i wrote this. Conservatives allowed on app which wouldn't be a huge issue except it's a left wing dating app.... do you think they let muslims on christian mingle??? ads ads ads worse than any dating app i've been on Not many people on it and understandably in my area it kind of makes sense... but even cranking it up to 500 miles away hardly anyone.... I live within 500 miles of Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus, Louisville, Atlanta, Memphis, Nashville, Charlotte, Philly, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Detroit, DC, Baltimore and Toronto to name some of them. Hardly a soul... now the premium service is significantly cheaper (never used it) but if no one is on the app what is the point??? it's kind of clear to see why too. Poorly designed app, riddled with ads, clearly you guys missed your DEI woke marxist anti capitalism lessons (joke) but like how does Tinder have less invasive ads than this app gives out like it's like i'm playing temple run or candy crush free!! And i get it, you guys developed an app, people use it, you should make money for it. But like it seems like you could have tried a lot harder? Idk what to tell you guys but I would highly recommend any of the big 3 dating apps (Tinder, Bumble, Hinge) Would not recommend.

It’s a good idea overall, but maybe unnecessary for left-leaning cities. There’s nothing particularly “lefty” about it except that it’s a smaller self-selected group of people. The group is too small. I live in New York, so I can find a lot of left-leaning people on any app, and I find a lot more of them on the other dating app I’ve used. It’s mostly free, but you have to sign up for a subscription in order to see people who have liked you first, which I find really irritating. It’s not worth paying for a subscription because every time I open the app I see the same people.
