Dating app reviews for poly folks
Field: Field (Formerly called 3nder. Which was a far more clever name in my opinion) isn't specifically a poly dating app. It's for singles or couples to explore their sexuality. The fact that it allows people to create paired accounts is pretty cool for non-monogomous people though. Unfortunately this is very sparse in terms of the number of people actually using it. According to the play store it has over 100k downloads but I don't ever seem to be able to find anyone on it ever. The other glaring issue is the fact that you MUST use facebook photos. So if you are like me and want to create an account with a partner who you either do not have on facebook or if you are not 'out' as polyamorous on facebook then it can be annoying to add pictures. You can also add "interests" and "desires" which are basically the same thing and I don't really understand what they do here. It's not a very practical way or of showing what you like and what gets you going. So yah Feild is only okay. I think it has a lot of potential. Maybe one day I'll get a match that isn't a bot or a camgirl trying to sell me something. But for now I'll definitely have other apps in addition to this one. Open: Open is a dating app for people in open relationships or with open minds. Pretty clever name. Open is a pain in the ass. I'm not sure because I haven't had any real people match with me yet but I think you have to pay to talk with folks. It has a credit system but I don't know if it actually does anything. It's quite the convoluted mess quite frankly. Also for whatever reason some sections are in French and others in English which would be fine if it was one or the other. But I can't speak Fringlish so it's just odd. It has the same issues with only being able to add facebook pictures as Field. But this app is just a nightmare. It also aparently has over 100k downloads but I rarely have anyone pop up for me at all. I don't really like open and I don't see much potential in it right now. But I won't delete it because I'm an optimist. Polyamorous dating/ Polyfinda: These 2 apps are the same thing. I don't know why they are both in the playstore. Either way. They are polyamorous dating apps (hence the name). These apps are really tough to navigate but that's because they have more too them than the last two apps. They are more like POF or OKC where as the other two are closer to tinder. Anyway, they're not perfect but they're not bad. They give you a lot of profile features to play with. Which gives you a bit more info about each profile. Such as drinking and smoking habits or if you have/wants pets or kids. So they're a lot less empty. Polyfinda apparently has over 100k downloads while Polyamorous dating on shows 5k which is weird. I think there are more people here than the other ones though. So I think this one is my favorite because it's more geared at poly folks not just people in open relationships or swingers. It's more for building relationships rather than hook ups. If they clean it's layout up a bit I'd probably use it far more often. So to summarize we need more poly dating apps withbetter functionality and we need more folks using them. I'll be keeping all 3 of these apps... but I will also still be using tinder. Let me know what you guys think! Obviously I just looked at the poly only dating apps. I didn't review apps like tinder where poly people can be found but it's not exactly aimed at us.
