HER

The dating app for LGBTQ+ women and queer people

Overview

What HER does

HER is a dating and social app designed specifically for lesbian, bisexual, and queer women and non-binary people. Beyond dating, HER offers community features including events, groups, and a social feed. The app creates a safe space for LGBTQ+ women to connect and build relationships.

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about HER.

  • Facebook or Instagram account required for signup, which excludes closeted users or those with safety concerns
  • No web version available; mobile-only platform on iOS and Android
  • Fake profiles and romance scams present on platform despite selfie verification
  • Limited user base outside major cities; geographic areas without Pride events may have single-digit user pools
  • Key features like Discover page and unlimited likes are behind paywall with 14-hour swiping limit unless paid

Cross-shopped

What people choose instead of HER

Each pairing was judged by two reviewers asking whether a buyer would genuinely weigh the two against each other. The ones that failed were deleted rather than published.

Other Dating Social software

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for HER, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it. Tell us if any of it is wrong.
