Peachy - Dating done the right way

by

Peachy is a dating app that focuses on meeting people through activities. Swiping through endless profiles is so superficial. Peachy gets you off your couch, in the real world and on dates. Simply post what you want to do on the app, and people who want to do it with you will like the post. You can then choose to message anyone who's liked the post

Feel free to tells us what you think about Peachy here!

It looks like a great idea, Tinder has broken dating. I think the idea to charge out of the gate isn't the right strategy though because you have to build a network before the network has value and this kind of dating app especailly is a network.
Marko Crnkovic
Thanks @darren_wendroff ! We chose this business model because we aren't in the market to gain as many users as fast as possible. We want Peachy to be a place where genuine people actually want to be. By making the entry barrier slightly higher, this makes people think whether they /really/ want to be a part of Peachy's community. This also makes for a higher number of active users. We also offer a 2 week free trial that you can cancel at any time without being charged.

@chih98 Good for you guys, dating is broken, and I like your approach. I just hope there's enough of a network, but looking to use you when you launch Orlando, FLorida on android. If I'm still single :)
Marko Crnkovic
@darren_wendroff we hope you meet your match on Peachy! We're still growing, but make sure to sign up for the newsletter at www.peachyapp.io/wait to be notified when the android launches (sometime in 2019). Also, spreading the word in your area helps us more than you think! Tell all your friends about 🍑 Peachy! It really will help Peachy get to Orlando sooner. On a personal note, I've been to Orlando many times, it's such a beautiful place! Send some warmth to us in SF! 🥶

Not sure how right it is when the icon is a peach 🤔

@huangdun @zeynopovski We went with the name Peachy mainly for the pun. We deliberately went with small pictures, prompting you to view the user's profile for a larger picture, so that people's content aren't immediately judged by their looks. If you have any ideas on how to improve Peachy, we would love to hear them here! -> www.peachyapp.io/contact

Hey, uh, bi people exist. It'd be cool to have a "men + women" or "any" preference.
Marko Crnkovic
@margotcodes We totally agree with you. We want Peachy to be as inclusive as possible. At this time the Peachy algorithms just run off of gender expression. You can choose whether you want to see posts from men, women, or non-cis people (or any combination of the three). Allowing more gender and sexuality expression on Peachy is high on our to-do list as we grow. We're always open to suggestions on how to make Peachy better. Don't hesitate to contact us -> www.peachyapp.io/contact

@margotcodes @chih98 I wonder if there even needs to be a designation. This is a great idea built on establishing a friendship based on shared interests, so may lead to activity partners as well as dating.
Marko Crnkovic
@margotcodes @darren_wendroff Our original idea was to focus on the friendly aspect, but for now (while we grow) we are focusing on the dating aspect of the market. We're glad you think of us like a mobile version of MeetUp. While we aren't trying to mimic their product, we do want Peachy to be known as a more intimate app that brings people on dates! Thanks for all your support!

@margotcodes @chih98 @darren_wendroff I was thinking the same thing, but I hope people don't treat it like meet up. Peachy if you want to "date" and meet up if you just want a friend. The idea is nice and simple.

Really interesting concept. Excited to see how it'll do in the highly competitive dating apps market. Congratulations on the launch!
Marko Crnkovic

Great idea! 100% in support

@aazar_ali_shad Thanks for your support! Make sure to tell all your friends about Peachy and have them upvote us! 🙌

Met @jakeols recently and after hearing the history and motivation behind the product, I have to say that I'm really eager to see how this app will continue to build up! As mentioned here in the comments a bit, online dating is still broken in some ways, and I think Peachy is taking the right steps in potentially solving some of the major paint points that other apps have. Excited for the Peachy team and will be looking forward to seeing how this app will grow!
Marko Crnkovic
Thanks @nikvimal! Make sure to spread the word about the app and our PH page! You can bit.ly/peachyph to direct people here.

Is this the "old" Peachy?
Marko Crnkovic
@proclaim Nope! We're new, shiny, and better than the old 😉
Barrett Shepherd
Hey! I love the concept but I'm unable to login as I have 2FA turned on for FB and it keeps opening up mobile Safari on my iphone when I try to login. I don't have this issue with other apps with FB login intergration, I think it's how it was built in Peachy. Would love to test once resolved!
Marko Crnkovic
Hey @barrettshepherd, sorry about that! We're working to get Facebook signup to work with the actual app instead of the current implementation. Shoot me an email so we can further diagnose the issue marko@peachyapp.io

Have you guys thought about using affiliate discounts as a ad stream. Im sure a ton of local brick and mortar places from food and beverage to local experience would love to give discounts for couples to come, and even better they could get feedback! love it tho
Marko Crnkovic
@chad_piatek how did you read our minds? 😉
