The MeetMe! app
★★★★★ 4.0/5
- Available for Android and iOS users
- Easy to use interface
- Can be used simultaneously with other applications
- Mobile and tablet compatible
- Has rare reports of bugs and glitches
MeetMe doesn't have a web version or a mobile site but is available for free to Android and iOs users. It has an easy user interface and is compatible with almost all devices.
There are rare reports of the app crashing and having occasional glitches. The app works well and can be used simultaneously with other applications.
Design & usability
The desktop version's design and layout look outdated. It looks similar to Facebook's old design, and while Facebook has moved on to a more edgy, modern look, MeetMe has not. It seems evident that the people behind the site have abandoned the desktop version and is focusing more on the app version, as the app has an updated and clean look.
Special features
MeetMe's desktop interface is pretty bland, but their apps actually have a couple of really good special features that make it obvious that the company is focusing more on its mobile users.
Finding people 1
Showing interest 1
Secret AdmirerFree
Secret admirer is a fun game that users can play and meet someone new at the same time. The app gives you a notification that you have a secret admirer, but doesn't tell you who it is. Instead, it shows you several pictures of different users at the same time, and you have to guess who it is. You have 5 guesses, and if you don't guess it right, the secret admirer notification goes away.
Messaging and contact 2
QuestionsFree
If you want to initiate a conversation with somebody, but don't know how to go about it, Meetme.com's Questions can help you out. Just ask other users a question and if they're interested, they can answer the question. Questions are sent anonymously, and your identity is revealed only if the other user answers your questions.
MeetMe LiveFree
This is MeetMe's streaming service. Users can go live and interact with their spectators. Viewers can like and send gifts to streamers in the form of diamonds, which streamers can convert into in-app credits or real cash later.
Profile and visibility 1
TikTok IntegrationFree
You can now connect your TikTok account to your MeetMe account to authenticate your profile on the dating site. Members can also see your TikTok videos from the app so you can showcase your unique personalities in a richer way.
Final results
3.0
“MeetMe is more like a social media platform than a dating service because of its heavy focus on group discussions and social interaction. While it may be a good place to have fun and meet new people, the anonymity and lack of security will make it difficult to find someone to actually date.”
