I really enjoy Stir, love the kind of people that are on here. Membership is a bit pricey, for me smoking is an absolute dealbreaker, so I don’t know why I cannot screen out profiles for things like that. They need to improve the users control over what they see. I spent several minutes reading and looking at pictures and then realize I missed the smoking thing again. Similar options should exist for drinking 420 etc. And the parenting questions are confusing personally people, I see profiles with ladies in their late 40s saying they definitely want more kids. They way they ask you the questions and the options they give you are confusing and then what they say to other people your answer is not worded at all like what you selected. Needs work there as well. Overall I like the app, enough that I got the membership even at this price, but 4 stars because of too much time looking at people I am not at all interested in, not really being able to trust what is says about whether someone wants kids (as in do they want to meet someone who has kids, do they want to adopt with someone, or do they want to give birth to children) I mean, the central theme in this app is we are people who have kids so how is it that did not get done more carefully? Love some of the people I am seeing on here, they just seem more real and human than other dating apps.

Hi, I have been using this app and the interface is nice. It’s very close to match which I found easy to use. I feel as a single parent it’s missing some vital info. 1. You need to be able to put your religion. For most people with children that’s important to find someone with similar values and beliefs. 2. The ability to filter your preferences by religion and race. I myself am an equal opportunity employer but, not everyone is. 3. You should also be able to put your political beliefs. 4. You should be able to list how many kids you have and their ages. 5. Level of Education should also be included in the profile. Not sure if that needs to be in the filter option , but, race, religion, and political views should be. I’m surprised this app doesn’t inclue these things when Match does. Single Parents are way more picky about that stuff. We aren’t only searching for a potential partner for ourselves but a partner that will be a good example to our kids as well.

Single parents are not on this site to spend time they don’t have chit chatting with people 100+ miles away. More often than not, they can’t relocate and their looking for somebody they can actually have in their lives through more than just the phone without being long distance, jumping through hoops, going to court or abandoning their kids. If it’s past the radius I set, it shouldn’t be the most abundant suggestions you offer. The fact that someone who is actually in my area or radius shows up so rarely is wild. Unless the whole point is to ensure nobody meets anyone close by or who aligns with them so they can continue to pay for an app that isn’t even serving its purpose. As a single parent, we have such little time for and to ourselves. The last thing I want or have time to do while hoping for my moneys worth is to swipe over and over and over just to even see a profile near me or my set radius. Don’t get me wrong, I believe there are subscribers who would be good matches because your algorithm allows them to show up once in a blue moon. The problem is the amount of app screen time and usage it takes to even come across them. Occasionally show people out of your radius is a whole lie. Stir is canceled due to lack of consideration in proximity issues for parents… who are seeking companionship but don’t have the ability to relocate
