Rank-Based Dating Apps

This App Matches Users with the Same Level of Desirability

'Provoq' is a new dating app that matches users based on their level of desirability. While there is no shortage of dating apps available to consumers, many involve the same process of wading through an endless pool of potential partners. This matchmaking app does the work for you by finding your perfect match.

Instead of swiping left and right on potential matches, Provoq takes a different approach. The app ranks each user based on their desirability and then finds users who share a similar rank. The app allows users to anonymously choose between two different users each time. For those who think they deserve a better match, the app has an additional feature that allows users to boost their rank. The idea behind the system is to help users narrow down their choices by matching them with those who share a similar level of desirability.

While the app has yet to officially launch, the waiting list is available through the iOS App Store.
