Online dating apps are traditional created with the basis of creating a connection with two users and letting things blossom organically which oftentimes doesn't lead to many dates, so the 'Wonder' dating app is here to change this.
The app works by letting users match and start chatting to see if there's a connection before providing them with the ability to choose an activity that suits both their preferences. Users can then select a time and date that works to send over to their potential partner for them to accept; this works to increase the likelihood that users will actually meet in person to see if their chemistry translates to the real world.
The 'Wonder' dating app also features integration with Uber and Amazon to let users catch a ride to the date or even order items prior to get ready.
