Swoop is an amalgamation of top dating sites. Although that sounds complicated, the dating platform is extremely simple to use. While it may seem as the down point, the lesser number of features is the highlight of Swoop in the world of too advanced dating sites. But along with a promise of great user experience, the dating app welcomes its users to a world of webcam chat in a cool interface. Follow the Swoop Review below to go through a tour of the app.
Swoop is a cool video dating site that does not have many features to offer on its platform. The platform’s simplicity is one of its highlights, but what comes with it is the satisfaction of trying swipe dating. It uses the popular Tinder dating style to make things easy and fun on the site. However, it is not an exact copy as the swiping only is the first step to getting access to web chats. Swoop connects people nearby just like Tinder and accepts all sexual orientation on the dating platforms. The members are not discriminated against based on race and ethnicity, and the minimum age to register on the dating platform is strictly 18 years old. The Swoop dating app has been available on the App Store since 2016 and has been attracting many youngsters ever since. Although it does come with a lot of potential, the effectiveness of Swoop completely depends on the level of popularity it gets in a particular area.
Swoop is a cool app designed for the youth. Inspired from the interface of Tinder, the dating site tends to keep things simple, clean, and organized on its platform. The theme color is kept red, which is the perfect color for a dating platform. However, red is also the color that makes a dating site look cliche, but Swoop does not. The muted faces in the background, and the white screen balances the components on the app screen. The interface gives priority to the user photograph and profile video giving it more space. Also, the fact that there is not much of a written information suits well for the design. To make things look clean, Swoop organizes all the features which are few in numbers in the options. The list of options can be summoned by tapping on the three horizontal lines that bring out the list from the left of the screen to its half. The style looks good and yet keeps the screen clean.
Unique to Swoop is the feature to add profile video along with a profile picture. Although the option is optional, one can create a short video to attract users on the video dating platform. A profile video is an opportunity for users for creativity that one can use in many ways.
Users do not have to worry about video chatting with other members on the dating platform. Swoop takes the users’ privacy and safety very seriously and thus protects them by making the videos end-to-end encrypted.
Unlike other dating platforms, Swoop is not a chat-based dating app. It allows its users to connect with other members using live video calls only. It is perfect for all the youngsters who are openly not fond of typing so much.
Inspired by the famous dating app Tinder, Swoop asks its users first to play the swipe game to show whom they would be interested in getting connected with on the site. The fun process takes in the user’s consideration. The system is the same and requires the user to swipe left to pass on the member being shown using the roulette theme. While swipe left in simple words means no, swipe right means you are interested.
To keep the user experience the top priority, Swoop only allows its users to connect with a video chat if they make a match. Match requires both the users to swipe right for each other. It basically means that only mutually liking users can connect on the dating platform.
Popular dating platforms are known to highlight their advanced search filters. Swoop, on the other hand, doesn’t have many filters to offer; however, it does allow users to filter out users based on their age. Unfortunately, that is the only basis users can filter their roulette options on their swiping game.
The algorithm of Swoop uses the user’s GPS location to connect you with registered members of the dating platform. The GPS helps in filtering out the users based on their location. It means the swipe game one plays on the Swoop shows nearby users only. Connecting with nearby users makes real-life dating still possible, unlike making long-distance virtual relationships.
Swoop highlights on its simplicity and uses a system that most modern popular dating platforms use nowadays. So understanding how to use the dating platform is no big deal. One needs to register with Swoop, to begin with, of course, after downloading the app on their mobile phone. After successful registration, the user is required to set a profile photo and add a profile video to introduce themselves. Although adding the profile video is optional, Swoop recommends using all the features the site offers for maximum exposure. To start dating, one must start playing the swipe game and keep swiping right for all the users they would like to connect with through live video chats. Users can also swipe left to move forward and show their disinterest in them. The next few minutes can either be a waiting game or may continue to swipe left or right until you have a match. Once there is a match, Swoop immediately notifies the user and opens the space for live video calling for both the users.
The registration process is simple and similar to the process other dating platforms follow. However, Swoop, unlike other dating apps of a similar kind, does not allow social login. While that may be a piece of bad news for people looking for shortcuts and time-saving techniques to get started with dating quickly, Swoop has a good purpose behind doing so. One of the common complaints people make on similar platforms is getting unwanted friend requests and following their personal social media accounts. The absence of social media syncing on Swoop aids in the privacy of the users. Hence, the users are made to fill up the registration form compulsorily with information such as age, gender, sexual orientation, location, and login details.
Registration takes a few minutes, which cannot be avoided with a shorter process on Swoop; the profile setup merely takes a few seconds to be done. There is no such profile setup stage on the dating platform that needs your time. It rather is replaced by two steps of setting up a profile image. It is two steps because, unlike other dating platforms, Swoop allows an additional profile video. One gets to add a profile image similar to other platforms and optionally create a short video for their profile. It is a cute twist added to the video dating platform to go with the theme. The user profiles on Swoop are well updated and complete with both profile photos and videos. However, the rate of activity on Swoop largely depends on the popularity of the dating app in your location.
Swoop is originally a dating app created for Apple users. The app is available on Apple’s App Store for iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad, and even the iPod Touch. However, on doing a small background search, a similarly named web app, and the android application was found on the internet. However, the logos of the android app and the web app for the browser users did not match with the official iOS app found on the App store. Aside from the logo of the official Swoop dating app, the interface pictures, and the makers were found to be similar for the android application but not the web app. Thus, it is best not to use the web app and only use the apps available on the official app stores of Android and Apple for safety reasons.
Unlike most dating apps and websites, Swoop is a unique platform that allows diversified people to connect and date online on a virtual platform free of cost. One of the biggest highlights of the dating app is clearly mentioned in the app description. It says that the app is free for now but will be so in the future as well. The makers have no plans of monetizing the platform in the future, and thus the users can feel safe and enjoy using the dating platform in comfort. Free platforms are particularly popular amongst the younger audience, and they are also the road to popularity. Young-adults are the audience that the makers of Swoop seem to be targeting, considering the format of the dating platform. And thus, keeping the app available for free can be a great marketing trick.
Considering that Swoop is completely free to use, all the features available on the iOS app can be used by the standard free users on the dating platform. The absence of subscription plans makes the video dating app all the more exciting. There are hardly any dating platforms that allow users to have complete access over their platform for free. But Swoop does, so all the unique features of the dating platform that make the app gain its popularity can be availed immediately. To get a sneak peek, here is the list of things that you can do as a Standard member on Swoop, who doesn’t need to pay anything on the dating app.
As mentioned before, the dating platform is 100% free for now. The makers have confirmed to keep it so for the future as well. Thus, it means there is no premium membership available on Swoop, unlike most other popular dating platforms. All the features available on the app can be availed for free. Also, there are no hidden app purchases and charges as well that can create a difference in the membership on the platform.
The Swoop dating app is officially an iOS mobile application available on Apple’s App Store but also has a version for the android users. The android app is available for download on the Google Play Store. Both Google Play and App Store take the safety of the users seriously, so the very presence of the app in the app stores gives Swoop credibility. Next, the absence of in-app purchases, and hence payment gateways removes any risk of potential theft. And finally, to consider the privacy of the users, Swoop makes all live video calls end-to-end encrypted. However, Swoop allows its users to block and report users if they find suspicious behavior on the platform. One may also contact Swoop administrators on the app to complain if necessary.
One look at the dating platform, you will get a refresh. Do you remember how the review started? It began by stating that Swoop is the amalgamation of two popular trends. By the end of the Swoop Review, you must have by now understood what did that statement means? The popularity of video making doesn’t need any discussion to be understood, does it? The video trend can easily be noticed everywhere. From the rising popularity of various video making and distributing apps, to the overflow of video content on various social media platforms, they are everywhere.
On the other hand, it is the swiping trend of dating apps. Swipe right and left have become so common that it has now become a popular lingual image in conversations. Swoop brings about the two together in a well-designed mobile app that is free to use. What else do you want? The typical dating apps get a twist with video dating that also leaves no space for cheaters because you get to confirm the person through a webchat directly.
A Swoop user account can be deleted from the settings. One has to navigate through the settings to find the option and delete the account. However, deleting the account removes you from the platform completely and also all the matches made. Thus, you must be careful and remember that the step is not revocable, and once done, you will be required to sign up again to use Swoop.
There is no way to message anyone on Swoop. The dating platform does not have a system of texting. It is based on live video chatting and requires users to match by mutual liking each other. So the only way to connect with members online on the platform is by swiping right, getting matched, and then doing a live video call.
There is no system of liking members on Swoop. The only thing members are allowed to do, is swipe right, which kind of suggests liking and showing interest for the other person. However, there is no way to find out who has swiped right for you until there is a match.
Once there is a match on Swoop, the platform notifies each of the users. It is then that you also find a block and report option on their profile. In case you find that the user you are connected with is not the same person as in the image or seems suspicious to you, you can block them. One can choose to block a user even if he or she is not comfortable connecting with them in the future and finding them plain and simply annoying. The block feature improves user experience on dating platforms such as Swoop and is thus important.
Swoop is a free video dating platform. Hence, there are no premium membership and subscription plans on the app; one has to worry about on the platform. It also means that there is thus no need to cancel a subscription plan for fear of losing unwanted money. Users can use the dating app for as long as they wish to by spending no money and then may also delete their account if they want to discontinue.
