Blendr Review

Blendr can be considered to be one of the latest dating sites which has quickly and quite strongly gained ground among the Single community. It was first launched as a dating site on the 8th of September, 2011 before subsequently releasing its mobile app for Android operating system rather than iOS.

Over time, stable updates were released with Android version with last update coming out on the 2nd of April, 2019 (6 months ago); while iOS version coming out for public use two years ago on the 12th of May, 2017.

Blendr is a dating app that focuses on connecting people with similar interests, likes and tastes.

It uses geosocial technology to link up close matches near you. All you have to do is hit them up and set a meet up for drinks, a talk or, of course, a date. Joel Simkhai created Blendr. Badoo powers the app and provides similar services.

What makes this dating site a premium?

Blendr gives you access to its services fairly easily than other dating sites, all while keeping your data completely safe. During registration, you will notice the ease with which you can create your profile using your Facebook details to fill itself out.

Blendr takes all the stress from you, which leaves you less likely to want to back out. You get to meet up with interesting people who are really of like mind as their profile details say. Their details will have been systematically vetted to match yours, so you are sure to meet what you bargained for.

You also get to go through their details as they go through yours. Considering the fact that it is location-based, there is no hassle in planning a meet up as everyone is nearby. One would think that a site like this, with many of its features free, would have barely committed users if any at all.

Please be assured that it isn't the case as many find the lack of fees  to do virtually anything, a nice change of pace from the typical dating sites that charge you at every step. With 340 million users registered on the site, you can say that the site will have something or more aptly, someone for you.

The site has got a nice feel to it; with the free features you still get a good user experience. Of course, membership opens up more desirable features that only add to the already great experience you'll get from using the site.

Pricing

Unlike other dating sites, it is a pleasant realisation to find that most of the core features of the site are free.

You can create and complete your profile for free, use the match searching, try the “Encounter” feature of the site, messaging service (without being matched at first even) and even view members' profiles.

Typically, when you open an account under Blendr, you are started with their base membership, which is free and has all the features at your behest. It is, without a doubt, a fully functioning site if you're interested in using it and it will cost you nothing to be a member and get started.

Of course, the premium membership is paid and has a few minute perks that come with it. Payments are acceptable via Credit Card, PayPal or even your Mobile Phone. Let's not forget that renewals are automatic, even for the daily subscription.

Introducing: Blendr - The "Grindr" for Straight People

Personally, if you are going to opt for the daily or weekly membership and are looking to use this app for three or more months, it is suggested that you opt for a lifetime membership which costs only USD 79.99.

Along with the current features of free membership, you get extra features and services that come with a premium membership.

This membership allows you to see who added you as a favourite, undo "No" votes from the “Encounter“ feature of the site (misclicks etc), go invincible and anonymously view profiles. Your profile even appears at the top of the list over free membership users when “Nearby“ search feature is used.

Also, your messages get to stand out, especially in the DM of a lady who has a multitude of attention.Also you get to chat with new members first too. Below is a summary of the prices paid on the site:

The site is largely advert supported so most of its revenue is generated from them as the daily earnings from the site are around 220.00 USD.

Also, there is this in-app currency for Blendr. You can use this to make your profile more visible, gift other users gifts such as emojis, pictures, etc and meet more matches on the platform.

Overview

Web address - https://www.blendr.com/

Estimated monthly visits - 3,986,073 visits.

Simkhai created and modeled Blendr dating site after his earlier dating app called Grindr,  gained popularity amongst gay men. He designed this saying that it was to shift focus from casual sex encounters to meeting people who share similar likes and interest.

You could say this site (and its mobile application) is focused more on building lasting relationships. The estimated visits were gotten from unique profile visits plus daily page views multiplied by 30 days.

The site's overall experience is only made better with the mobile app which is easy to use and with little to no bugs. The sites functionality takes centre stage with its easy to use interface.  If you're familiar with Badoo, then this site shouldn't be bothersome for you.  

Complete Blendr Review

This dating site is largely free without diminishing the overall quality of service. The site was designed to allow you to search for possible interest matches with other registered members based on their location.

While this surely seems to give you more prospects with the hybrid search feature, as well as the simple matching functions of this app; you need to remember that most of the matching algorithm used is purely appearance-based.

This is without importance on a member's real personality and true compatibility due to the shallow way matching being done. However, it does not mean that there is no hope for people searching for true love on this site.

I still think it is possible to seriously look for a long-term relationship on this dating app. Just make sure to clearly state what you are searching for in your profile.

Blendr vs Dattch & Grindr

Final verdict

Blendr is a great dating app with members from around the world. It has a huge user base which makes it an excellent alternative to apps like Tinder, which charges users at every step of the way. There is no limit to the number of profiles you like, and that applies to free membership as well.

This has accelerated registrations. Blendr has become a great place for users to mingle. The sheer ease of use and the ability to access most features on the app for free sets it apart from other dating sites and apps.

It is also a great way to get familiar with the single pool in your immediate location and understand the dating scene better. Advanced privacy settings allow you to restrict access to your photos, location, availability status, and more. There is always something to do on Blendr.
