Voice-Based Dating – Soundate

Hi everyone, I’ve created a dating app that was released on the App Store this weekend. Instead of photos, you decide whether someone is likable based on their voice introduction. Even after a match, only voice messages can be sent at first. Profile pictures become visible and text messaging is unlocked only after the total length of exchanged voice messages reaches 10 minutes. I’m curious about your thoughts — do you think people will be open to something like this? In today’s world, where many are tired of heavily filtered photos and staged poses, I believe it could be refreshing to hear a real person — their voice and the way they speak — instead. Of course, the app is fully accessible and designed for everyone, with a user experience that aims to be enjoyable regardless of background or ability. I’d greatly appreciate your feedback on the concept of voice-based dating and on the app itself. You can download it here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/soundate/id6753748383)
