Known is making an impression on members and the press. Here’s what they have to say.

I was so surprised by how much we had in common and it was truly one of the best first dates ive ever been on.
tscmkdoApp Store review
The AI matching was actually way better than I expected, and my first match turned into a really fun date with someone I genuinely clicked with.
zaharareedApp Store review
I've been on some great dates so far with genuine people who were clearly there for the same reason I was.
w_sfApp Store review
Went on a really fun first date with a girl, genuine connection that didn't feel superficial at all so if that's what you're looking for this app is the place! Definitely recommending it to the boys 10/10

i actually liked how they took care of picking the whole date place for me.
johan.j208App Store review
Dating apps are so stale these days and known flops the model on its head. It’s so nice matching with one person and not having a sea of profiles to distract. Plus they plan the date and eliminate the crazy texting phase. 10/10
KanoathefreeoneApp Store review
Seriously this is the only app that doesn’t waste your time. Been on 2 dates so far and I just deleted hinge bc it doesn’t feel worth it anymore. Ty Known🩷

Love that I get to talk about myself and the app makes my profile for me. The matching is unique and love that they planned the venue and got reservations for us.

This is genuinely one of a kind. Went on a great date through the platform and enjoyed the entire experience
catlemon99App Store review
What I love most is how the AI talks with you like a real person. Instead of making you fill out endless questionnaires, it asks thoughtful follow up questions and creates a natural engaging conversation.
vschrittApp Store review
Got to know me better than I know myself and actually got me dates with interesting people. 10/10 recommend
lwc2120App Store review
From the personalized phone call onboard, to the relaxed vibe of the UI, and the presentation of yourself and your matches, Known reminds us that finding love is all about patience and sincerity. And it’s the best partner for that journey!!! Highly recommend if you want to actually find your person.
basilio aApp Store review
This app prioritizes depth and personality, which made matches feel more thoughtful and aligned with what I value. Overall, it felt less like a game and more like a space designed for genuine connection. I could not recommend this app more!
lucille9273App Store review
Loved it
JustInTime2727App Store review
I love the way they have integrated voice AI and the voice AI that they have used is pretty good questions are pretty straightforward and I hope this is gonna be fun. I would highly recommend. I would highly recommend this too many people to try it out because unlike the traditional with this AI world, what is going around if people are tired of too many questions and stuff like that and filling out forms and all that with this voice thing that makes it very easy two or three steps and you were talking to someone like a real person and hopefully it gets. I’m still going to wait for the result after I’m accepted on the waitlist and can’t wait to see what happens next.
Capt.anandApp Store review
I absolutely love the concept about this app we need more apps like this that actually values real dating rather than mindless swiping on people. Apps like this highlights connection between people and that’s what love’s really about. I’m grateful they made this app!!
Cherry.73App Store review
Really cool idea and app, hopefully it will change the dating game
LizzzzaaaaazzzzzamApp Store review
I hope it works I’m tired of the endless swiping
Krieger763App Store review
Very impressive. I have to admit, it felt like a was in an episode of “black mirror” but I appreciate the thoroughness of the AI and the whole experience. Well done!
Asa RittermannApp Store review
i thought this ai thing wouldnt work (i hate customer service calls w ai) but this one wasn’t bad.. better than creating another profile

Being able to share my experiences with an ai bot was one of a kind, recommending to all my friends. This is real dating.
tylerdezyApp Store review

JAKEt007_App Store review
the setup process was pretty quick and i think this app is more genuine than most dating apps
lt_spiceApp Store review
I really liked how the process felt personal from the very beginning. The phone call was relaxed, easy to talk through, and made it feel like they were genuinely trying to understand what I was looking for instead of just matching based on a profile. It definitely felt more thoughtful than using a typical dating app. I’m excited to see where it goes!
ccsnow67App Store review
App wow right now get with the times.
Mike PraterApp Store review
So much better than hinge or tinder! Love it
jejdfjdhxhxbvncApp Store review
Cool way to date with deeper connection
bbe29App Store review
I've had a really positive experience with Known. The swipeless approach feels much more intentional than traditional dating apps, and it encourages genuine conversations instead of judging people in a split second. The profiles give you a better sense of who someone is, and the overall experience feels more thoughtful and less overwhelming. The app is easy to use, and it's refreshing to see a different approach to online dating that's focused on meaningful connections rather than endless scrolling. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for something more authentic.
Snael TrailApp Store review
I really like the look of the app. The interview could have been a little bit shorter, but I liked how deep and insightful it was. I’m excited to see what kind of matches they find for me, it definitely feels like a more fun and thoughtful way to find dates :)

Great app for authentic dating and very refreshing concept behind the app.
sam736528App Store review
This app is incredible. I love how it works, it’s a great UI and really pairs you with someone you actually would be compatible with. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to get set up the same way you’d get set up by mutuals.
Tanya JalalApp Store review
I recently moved to SF and heard about Known from some friends. Instantly, I knew it was a high quality platform. The design is beautiful and app is extremely intuitive to navigate. Known cares about creating deep relationships that go beyond the surface level. Also, their matchmaking process is prompt and legitimate. They do a great job with that! I am looking forward to seeing how they scale over time, all my friends from the East Coast are dying to join!
ZazaSFLocalApp Store review
I love this app. I am excited for the opportunity to find someone special in my life. I appreciate the attention to detail to get to know me to match me with someone. I feel this is a great way to skip all the swiping. It’s refreshing to try something that is more intentional and different from all other dating apps! Thank you, Known!
MRM1017App Store review

Graham_BernardApp Store review
Really polished and easy-to-use interface. Everything feels clean, intuitive, and thoughtfully designed. I enjoyed exploring the app and was truly impressed by how seamless and modern the experience feels. It’s clear a lot of care has gone into design and usability, and I appreciate how approachable everything is. Excited to see how known continues to evolve and grow!!
sprinkles_111App Store review
It feels tailored in a world of swiping. Definitely worth the wait for them to find you a match.
AquizApp Store review
My friend found her boyfriend on Known and this app feels different from other dating apps. I love the intentional matching and how it feels very personal
RyBallerApp Store review
I didn’t know what to expect, but was surprised at how easy it was to talk through the questions! I felt like they really put thought into not only asking but getting more detail out of you to really understand who you are and what you are looking for. Excited for my first match!
kathryn r mApp Store review
I’ve had a really positive experience with Known so far. The app feels more intentional than many other dating apps, it encourages meaningful matches rather than just endless swiping. I appreciate the focus on getting to know people beyond surface-level information. The interface is easy to use, the community seems genuine and I’ve connected with people who are looking for real relationships. It’s refreshing to use a platform that encourages authenticity and deeper connections. Definitely worth trying if you’re looking for something more meaningful than the typical dating app experience.
Masm1994App Store review
Probably the smoothest, easiest, and most engaging “dating app” onboarding I’ve had ever. I didn’t even procrastinate because I don’t have to think hard to curate my own profile, which is always such a chore. The app is aesthetically designed so pretty and no fuss. So far loving it!
JJDAN111App Store review
Love this! I was on the waitlist for a while and started to lose hope but I just got my first match and he’s really cute! Fingers crossed!

Super easy and fun to use. Great way to meet people and different than other dating apps :)
madisondoanutApp Store review
I’ve always been against dating apps but this is my favorite one, I 100% recommend
cody bellingerApp Store review
I’ve never been on dating apps before because I’ve always wanted a meet-cute, but also I hate the way they commoditize people. You can swipe through endlessly and never really see the human on the other end. I took a chance on Known and this app is great because you don’t swipe, you just get match suggestions with a long paragraph about a person and what you might like about each other, and ultimately the option to leap in and say you’ll give it a chance. So far great and stressless experience!

Ellie StrandeApp Store review
Wow even from the first interaction it is clear how intentional this is
Dom AlexisApp Store review
I LOVE that this is a different approach to dating. The others app are sooo tough and this one genuinely feels intentional *all* the way through. You can actually trust the quality of each match because it gets to know *YOU* - way better than just the endless swiping I’ve had on every other app. Excited for this to continue growing!!
Adele BamlaApp Store review
So glad I signed up! Known is not yet in my city but I am excited for when it comes! I’ve heard amazing things and can’t wait to see for myself why Known is amazing!
A_R4321App Store review
I met my love, her name was Judith, On Known, where something real felt right. Not swipes, not likes, not small talk fading, Just one conversation changed my life. Built on knowing us first, not rushing, It led to something real and true. No game, no gamble, just real life, And somehow Known led me to you.

So glad this app exists, I’m already being matched with such perfect dates, I’m so excited
hihihihihi12345..App Store review
Sooo cool. I've successfully met previous partners on other apps but after years of swiping and realizing that the other ones are just trying to keep you swiping instead of actually getting you to have novel and fun experiences, I'm glad that I found about Known. I've never reviewed an app before but like this one a lot. Looking forward to using it more
liliest1995App Store review
This is such a cool app I love that it is curated and personalized. I genuinely feel in good hands
GigiialcApp Store review
this feels like a nice reset from normal dating apps. the onboarding is really well done — almost like a little magazine/storytelling video sequence instead of the usual app setup. feels more thoughtful and less swipey, which is def a good thing.

Such a great user experience!! The aesthetic alone is unmatched and it was very easy to navigate and I felt very comfortable using the app.
Cait1738App Store review
At first I thought this was cap and all marketing hype, but I finally got to do the call today and it was a cool XP. Now I just gotta see if they actually got somebody for me 🤣
boopbeepbloopApp Store review
Not gonna lie, I was over swipe apps. This feels way more chill. No rapid-fire judging people in two seconds, just normal conversations. The vibes are calmer and people seem more intentional. I’m not doom-scrolling for hours, which is nice.
avae1738App Store review
When I first downloaded the app, the user interface was super cool and right off the bat I felt like I was being transported back in time. Previously I have spoken to the AI agent who asked questions about preferences which is cool and for sure an interesting experience at first. I think Known will definitely compete with the mainstream dating apps because of its new outlook and also because people want to meet in real life and Known accelerates that process. Love the user experience and also think the branding of the app is super cool. Plan on using the app in the future.

Goodbye hinge, this so so much better
Crispin99App Store review
Such a cool and interesting dating app!! Nothing like ive seen before
Mica_2003App Store review
Saw their ads all over my neighborhood and was hesitant to download. Ive been on all the apps at this point. All i have to say is WOW. This is miles ahead of Tinder and Hinge. Its a completely different experience and you see the difference almost immediately. It felt like chatting with a real person bc the thing actually responds to what you’re saying. Really surprised by their AI, it didnt sound like a bot. Kinda scary how good it is but i guess thats just how far AI has come.
Quirkysushi2456App Store review
