Duet is a dating app featuring mandatory face verification and interest-based matching. Targets users seeking genuine connections through shared hobbies and verified profiles while addressing common platform safety concerns.

Detailed Review

Duet positions itself as a solution-oriented dating platform addressing two persistent industry problems: fake profiles and superficial matching. The Android application requires 100% mandatory face verification during registration, creating a barrier against scammers and catfishing attempts that plague competing services. This verification system represents the app's core differentiator in a crowded marketplace where authenticity concerns remain paramount for users. The platform's matching algorithm emphasizes shared interests rather than purely appearance-based swiping. Users identify as specific community types—including gamers, fitness enthusiasts, foodies, fashionistas, cat lovers, meme experts, cinephiles, or bookworms—enabling connections based on substantive common ground. Profile creation includes detailed bio sections that allow for comprehensive self-expression beyond basic demographics. The interface organizes potential matches by interest categories while incorporating familiar swiping mechanics for user familiarity. User experience demonstrates both polished technical execution and functional limitations. The interface receives praise for organizational clarity and intuitive navigation, with one reviewer noting the app is 'very well organized' technically. However, practical implementation reveals issues with filtering functionality, particularly regarding age range parameters. As noted in an August 2025 review by S'Maiah Rock, the filtering system 'doesn't actually work' for age preferences, showing 'basically everyone who uses the app' regardless of selected parameters. User feedback reflects polarized experiences common to dating platforms. Positive reviews highlight rapid connection success, with AJ M. reporting in July 2025 finding 'someone amazing' within 10 minutes of use. Negative experiences predominantly concern user behavior rather than technical performance, as exemplified by Tori Williamson's June 2025 observation about encountering 'mean, disgusting, and entitled' male users despite the app functioning properly. These patterns suggest the verification system successfully addresses fake profiles but cannot regulate genuine user behavior. The app demonstrates strongest utility for interest-focused daters prioritizing authenticity over volume. Mandatory verification provides significant security advantages, while interest-based matching fosters more substantive connections than appearance-focused alternatives. Limitations include filtering inconsistencies and the inherent challenges of moderating human interactions. Ideal use cases involve users seeking relationships based on shared hobbies or values who prioritize safety mechanisms over maximum match quantity.

I have no issues with the app, technically. it's very well organized. kind of fun. just unfortunate that men are mean, disgusting, and entitled 90% of the time. They lead to bad experiences, not the app.

Time you'll be swiping? Idk. Time it took *me* to find someone amazing? 10 Minutes. Haha. That's all I had to wait to hit the jackpot. Honestly, I was watching dateline murder shows about dating apps before this, but after thinking I needed more friends... This app was suggested haha. Little did I know I would be living the best rom-com and flying across the country for my favorite person a few months later... 7 days from now. :) ~signed from a deleted account praying for your stories too.
