Soulmate: Dating & Friends

most dating apps make sure it’s too hard for disabled people to participate, so this isn’t unique. You certainly aren’t going to meet deaf people, but as a Blind person, I thought this would be great. For once I’ll get to see who I’ll meet without having to worry about what they see in my photos, or having to evaluate theirs. Alas, they made it so that Blind people using VoiceOver, the Apple screen reader, can’t sign in at all. I cannot get past the requirement to enter my birthday as the whole screen is not readable to me and any attempt to just type my bday fails. So, y’all who pass this way, I guess you don’t have to worry about blind dates.

If you are single and burned out from swiping, you gotta try just one more app. I was skeptical that it was going to be like other AI dating experiences I tried, and it’s totally different. It ask you questions like therapist getting to know you, and then matches you slowly as other ppl engage with the app. It almost feels too easy, compared to all the time I put into other dating app profiles, but the match results speak for themselves. Try it.

Soulmate is something totally new and I really like it. I love how you literally just talk to it (with your voice) and then it magically does the rest. No profiles, swiping, or shopping for people. Just occasional curated intros that feel like they’re being sent to you by a friend.
