How many members in your area?
“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.”
Chris Pleines, Founder of DatingScout and Author of the book "Online Dating for Dummies"

profile quality

Profiles on MeetMe don't contain much information compared to other similar dating apps. Members can write short introductions about themselves and include basic information such as name, age, approximate location, physical attributes, religion, and lifestyle. But not all members fill out their profiles. Members can link their TikTok accounts with their profiles too.

MeetMe doesn't fully verify its members' profile authenticity making it possible for fake profiles to be present on the app. 

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 Match Suggestions App

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The desktop version's design and layout look outdated.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.

Questions +

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.

Secret Admirer +

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.

MeetMe Live +

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.

QuickPick +

Available on the site's mobile app, QuickPick is MeetMe's take on Tinder's swipe system. You are shown a picture of a random user and you can show your interest or take a pass and move on to the next user.

TikTok Integration +

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.

SECURITY
Is MeetMe! safe?

Honestly, the site is not very safe. There is no system in place that verifies the identity of their users, so members are free to act as they wish under the cloak of anonymity. Although fake profiles can be reported, if they haven't done anything wrong, nothing is done about them.
 

My profile has been hacked, what can I do to prevent hacking?

MeetMe recommends that you immediately change your password and don't tell anyone what your new password is. Additionally, do not leave computers sitting logged into your profile where someone else could get access to it. Always click "Logout" at the top of the screen when you're finished using the site.
