Filter-Free Dating Apps

Filter Off is a New Anti-Catfishing Dating App Launched by Zach Schleien

— June 21, 2021 — Lifestyle
As the pandemic begins to abate, many consumers are looking for love and one new app is changing the online dating game – Filter Off. As its name suggests, the video speed dating app was designed as an "anti-catfishing" platform that allows users to see what potential love interests actually look like, without the use of filters. Moreover, users aren't required to "swipe," the app does the groundwork for them to connect them to like-minded individuals.

Filter App will set users up with three curated dates that take place on a 3-minute video call. From there, users can decide if they want "match or pass." In addition, the platform offers events that include 90 seconds live video streams with potential dates. Members can also decide if they want to remain connected to their date after the fact.
