I've downloaded and am signing up.

1. why is there a google captcha in the app sign up? I have never seen this before.

2. Am I dating people or pets? Some profiles are pictures of animals others are pictures of people.

3. Swiping is showing me men even after I signed up and set my gender/orientation.

4. Is this a dating app or a pet app?

5. "Animal Lovers" is a huge people. Who on tinder is not an animal lover?

6. Why am I using an app to adopt pets AND date people?

1. Our analytics showed that there were many robot installs coming from Google Ads. That's why I added captcha and then the strange installs according to Google Ads stopped.

2. You are dating people. some people like to put their pets picture on their profile. We can't control that.

3. Filter options are set to show everyone originally. You can uncheck the "no filters". I get your point though, so I need to fix that in the next update.

4. it's an app for animal lovers. So, you can ask questions form others about vets, wildlife, find pet sitters, etc. You can select to opt in or out of dating. The pet adoption section is for mainly shelters to post their pets and our users (who are animal lovers) to see if they can find a furry friend, if they want to.

5. yeah, but we provide filter based on inerest in animals.

6. You don't have to. They are independent of each other. People who love pets are the main users of the app. It's a separate service to them. You either want someone who loves your pet as much as you do, or you want to adopt animals. You can use the app.
