"Circle"
Dating App with a new Reels dating format!
About
Circle is a Ukrainian mobile dating app designed for users who want both classic and anonymous matchmaking experiences within a single platform. With a sleek, user-friendly design and dynamic interactive features, it brings a fresh, bold perspective to online dating.
Client's Request
The client approached us with the idea of developing a next-gen dating platform that combines two experiences — standard and anonymous dating — under one roof. The platform had to feel intuitive, engaging, and innovative to appeal to modern users. The project required:
- Dual-mode functionality: Users needed to switch seamlessly between classic and anonymous dating formats.
- Modern user engagement tools: Features like video reels, mood-based statuses, in-app rewards (gifts, superlikes), and user ratings.
- Time-sensitive communication: For the anonymous section (Eboo), chats had to self-destruct after 24 hours to create urgency.
- Smooth UX and UI: A visually rich yet clean interface to encourage interaction without overwhelming the user.
Here’s What We Did
We developed a full-featured mobile app with a bright, user-friendly interface. Focused on simplicity and smooth navigation, the app lets users explore both dating modes effortlessly. Key highlights:
- React Native frontend: Ensure a seamless experience on both iOS and Android.
- Custom CRM/CMS: Built for easy content and user management behind the scenes.
- Anonymous dating module: Integrated Eboo, a feature-packed environment with disappearing chats and mood-based statuses.
- Live and interactive tools: Real-time reels, chat systems, and a gamified ranking mechanism to boost activity.
- Reliable backend: Node.js and PostgreSQL stack supported by Firebase and Bunny CDN for scalability and stability.
Here’s the Result
The result is a smooth, polished mobile app that delivers a unique dual-dating experience. With clean navigation and real-time engagement tools, users can enjoy both traditional and anonymous modes effortlessly. Our tailored development helped the client launch a standout dating product in a competitive market, combining usability, innovation, and performance in one cohesive package.
