Kippo Review April 2024

Signing up on Kippo is pretty simple. Instead of an email or a social media account, all you have to do is type in your phone number when registering or logging in. You aren’t required to verify your account either. Unlike Tinder, this modern dating app does not offer desktop services. While you can goto their website, all you will find are some creative comic strips. To use the service, you need to download the app and use it from there.

Kippo simplifies registration to entice more users. Its no-frills and no-fuss approach to signing up is one of the reasons why it is so popular with the younger people. Registration only takes seconds and the app loads quite fast. Its modern look of using font that resembles writing code in a text editor when typing messages or updating profile information does not hurt either.

The stereotype of lonely gamers staying up all night, playing video games, in their parent’s basement are no more. Kippo revolutionizes the way people connect and meet by putting interests and hobbies to the forefront. Making people bond over their mutual interest and passion such as video games appear to make more meaningful connections compared to just basing everything on looks. When you use Kippo, you base potential matches on compatibility with the games you both like, the passions you share, and so on.

It is, however, a huge let down that the app does not have any video chat functionality. During this uncertain times where social distancing and virtual dates are encouraged more than physical ones, it would have been great to have some means of communicating through video. The app has yet to release this type of feature. The founders have claimed that there is a high percentage of users going on virtual dates first before taking the next leap. However, these virtual dates occur on other platforms instead.

Still, the best thing about Kippo is its cheap premium services. Their premium allows you to add up to seven cards to completely show the wide range of your interests, send more messages, and swipe more than 30 profiles per day. It helps when looking for the right person for you and it wouldn’t burn a hole through your pocket.

Kippo starts out pretty basic. You have to fill in your typical information such as age range, location range, and gender range. You have to upload four photos of yourself and you can also identify your gender orientation if you are bisexual, nonbinary, or open to dating anyone. The good thing about Kippo is its inclusivity.

You can also indicate if you are looking for actual romance or if you are just looking for friends to hang with. If you don’t want to get unwelcome messages, you can always opt to lock your inbox.

What makes this dating app stand out from above the rest is its way of encouraging users to judge romantic capability based on how much potential matches like the certain game or hobby you want. Instead of looks being the primary reason for attraction, it becomes secondary to interests.

Profiles heavily feature cards that lets you express who you are based on your “geeky” interests. These cards can show a myriad of things from the games you love, your horoscope, Meyer-Briggs type personality, and many more.

While Kippo is technically a free dating app, it offers Kippo Infinity Subscription. When you activate Kippo Infinity, you can send unlimited messages, swipe more than 30 profiles per day, and add up to seven cards to your profile. We find that you can use Kippo on a free basis and it wouldn’t affect meeting new people as much. The only thing that gets affected is the number of messages you can send. With the subscription, you remove these browsing and messaging limitations.

Kippo Infinity costs USD10 for a month, USD37 for six months, and USD56 for a year. Comparing it with other dating apps, Kippo’s premium services are on the low end of the spectrum. The competition normally costs twice as much as Kippo is offering. It is indeed a good deal. If you deem Kippo Infinity to be a worthy investment, you are sure to enhance your experience without breaking the bank.
