Maybe this is a little unfair considering it was only a beta. Isn't a cornerstone of agile to get an MVP in front of users and iterate on user feedback? It doesn't seem right to judge any software based on a beta experience alone.

Sure, but even as a first pass I'd hoped that the devs would have used the other dating apps and tried to make the experience better based on that.

I don't think anyone even looked based on what I see. It's clearly inferior to Tinder, Bumble and OKCupid's mobile apps just on basic usability.

If you're going to enter a space, shouldn't you try to do better than the market leaders?
