Building a dating app only for iOS users in India. Yes, this is a social experiment.
I have used android and Windows all my life and prefer it both for work and for personal use. After seeing my brother and a couple of friends switch over to iOS/Mac, I am convinced that this is a modern day cult. Please sign up here: https://4k7foa22yp4.typeform.com/to/LTVqaHva 100 sign ups and I will be building it.

One question- How will you tackle the gender ratio ?

Every SoBo/South Delhi girl has an iPhone. Even South Calcutta girls only use iOS. I think this will be the first app with more females than males lmao.

The first dating app that was exclusive Apple was a mega success.
Was written in python.
Instead of swiping you had to click with your teeth and take a bite, and guaranteed hook up after the first bite.
IIRC was called Garden of Eden.

I am all for it. Also, put in other filters like wearing Crocs, being a CRED user, flexing an Amex/Magnus Credit card. To hell with gareebs who have spoiled the country and the planet. If we don't build a wall (physical and metaphorical), we humble wealthy people are bound to be crumpled until we reach our crowded graves!
Definitely don't want to be tainted even by a digital association with the great Unwashed.

Yep. I don't even want non-pro normie iPhone gareebs to see my profile. There should be an option for that.
Also 512GB+ storage only

sounds like a dating app like raya but for upper middle class folks, can be a huge success if priced right

Ios only app could find traction with women as its a great filter. Look at how Clubhouse was hyped up before it launched an android. Hyped in India too.

Agreed. But will never launch on Android. Will not allow poor Android users like me on this sacred app.

Hey !!! My take on this is , there needs to be some kind of backend mechanism to ensure that gender ratio is maintained here along with few steps like :
For iOS only users
1. Device binding to make sure people arent fake signing up.
2. Quality of Profile.
3. Right pricing - If app addressed at 18 - 33 year olds. INR 3K per annum might be good.
4. Waitlist mechanism to rebalance until enough opposite gender profiles are filled.
5. Lastly, some in person marketing events at Posh Localities, Colleges where this dating culture is very good and lastly innovatively breaking stigmas of dating .
Viners, feel free to add if any !!!!

Great feedback! Thanks. Feel free to reach out on [email protected] if you wanna discuss it more. Was definitely thinking along those lines (except for pricing).
Initially it sounded like a joke, but it can actually work to manage the current problem of gender ratio on other dating apps.
If possible add a CIBIL score entry criteria (like CRED did initially) for males - This would feed the ego of both males (alpha mindset) and females (looking for a knight in the shining armour)
To counter fake profiles (an actual menace), have KYC Aadhar verification - it may sound like a friction while signing up but pitch it as a safety measure - this would attract female users (and eventually males)

Fkinnn build it, don't listen to all these keyboard warriors.
Let me know if you ever need anything legal but only if you'd be okay with an android user! 😂

sure! Yeah, actually do need to understand some stuff. I am an android user myself so no discrimination haha. [email protected]
Think more deeply about the gender ratio problem, if there's more scope to optimise, talk to people at schmooze, truly madly and stuff to check your hypothesis. Sounds like a good idea, to me.

Bad idea. Every friendship nd social app have become dating app. U don't need a separate dating app.

Dude chill. Filpkart nd Amazon. Smae thing. It is the users who get to decide. Dating app "Made for class" could be a big differentiator. Btw, let them put a profile section to showcase their lifestyle by linking photos from IG. Don't limit it there. Make it invite based/ or premium prices, to even limit people and make exclusives as per demand.

How do you even go about building a dating app. I had an idea for an app that could help people connect based on a specific thing but dunno where to start from
As majority of iphones are being purchased by EMI. Will this metric also considered while building application products?

Add a filter with CIBIL credit score. Should be a CRED member only
