I have been on many dating apps but this is great and really works as you get to meet someone when you are mutually available.

Pros:

Unique refreshing design that works and cuts out the time wasting.

Cons:

None really, I cannot wait for the user base to grow.

Looks great so far, I really like the UI! Although I don't really understand why nationality and height would matter / are required fields.

Is co-location a good signal for compatibility? Seems pretty arbitrary?

@chrismessina on one hand, if you have a high density of students living on or around a campus it could work well, but it wouldn't be that much different than what other apps are already doing, Grindr is a proven case that location matchups work but generally the intention is uh, short term. I don't know if this would work for people who commute to work in any meaningful way.

@chrismessina @boop We believe friendships and relationships can only start when you meet in person. Now is a solution that combines both users lifestyle variables to allow them to easily meet someone offline in a casual, safe and public environment. Compatibility isn't determined by anything other real-life interaction, regardless of what is marketed to you. Now is about creating the most frictionless way possible to meet new people nearby, much like a giant virtual bar. Treated with the same respect as talking to someone in public Now is the solution to change an industry of time-consuming products into a way to simply meet new people without expectations.

@chrismessina When you have a low bar for compatibility, yes

Hi! How is it different from Happn? And how do you plan to grow the audience?

@evgenia_trofimova Hi Evgenia, I'll break down some differences for you. 1 - Happn has no focus on your time schedules or initiating offline meet-ups at real venues. 2 - Happn results are generated from people you crossed paths with, no focus on users outside that variable. 3 - Happn uses 2 low cognitive actions "Like", "Say Hi", it doesn't focus on casually inviting someone for a coffee or drink, or for users to invest more time than tapping a button. 4 - Happn doesn't show you active profiles based on a filter>activity>location>last-login system. 5 - Happn uses a subscription model, we use a PAYG to reduce costs to user. 6 - Happn past the extent of messages doesn't give you a complete process of a functional meet up (time you're free, the time I'm free, both on the way, both checked-in, rating your experience, banning for people who no-show or cancel) I hope this helps, feel free to download happn and Now and compare them :)
