Icon-Based Dating Apps

The S'More Dating App Connects Users Who are Looking for "Something More"

— November 13, 2019 — Lifestyle
The S'More dating app is launching soon in the United States and sets itself apart from other apps that require users to create lengthy bios or swipe to find their match. The app was expressly created for those who are looking for "something more"—especially something other than physical attraction. As such, S'More presents its users with just five profiles per day, and these profiles have no photos or text, just icons that help to quickly reveal a person's key characteristics.

Additionally, the icon-based system makes it easy for users to see what others on the app are looking for, as well as their hobbies. If a user chooses to interact with icon on another member's S'More profile, only then will they see the unrestricted version.
