"The app isn't the best for the dating part. The profiles are either too insubstantial, or some of the girls I talk to end up ghosting me. There's just not a lot do unless you upgrade to premium. However, I loved using this app to see which events will be attended by a big number of lesbians, since my gaydar in public isn't always the best. I've met a lot of great girls through that alone, and some of them I ended up going on dates with." Bella, 24

"I've read tons of good reviews about Hers so I've decided to try it. Well, I got no regrets! It's the best among all the female-exlcusive apps. But still not the best dating app though. Overall, it is a good app, it has a good design, the price is just good. So I'm all good." -Sheena, 27
Design & usability
The design of the app is modern and sophisticated. Colours used for the app are pleasing to the eyes and the app is generally organised.
It is easy to use even for those who are just not familiar with dating apps.
Since it is part dating app and part social media platform, members have more things to do with it. They can also know more about other users by reading their posts and status updates. It is also one way for members to voice out what they are feeling without worrying about being judged,

Final results
3.5
“LGBTQ online dating can be intimidating in a straight-oriented industry, and HER has achieved its goal of solving just that. HER isn't originally a gay dating app just translated for lesbians, but an app with only queer women in mind from the very start. However, its re-branding from Dattch to HER in 2015 changed its system from 'lesbian dating app' to 'lesbian social app'. Yes, you will find women here, but you'll never know if they want to date or something more platonic. If you want other sites and apps that are more straightforward about dating, check our Matchmaking service category.”

I used Dattch when it began and the interface was a bit clunky but I was living abroad and it was a useful way to meet other queer women. When I came back to the UK it had become 'Her' and I used it to see if there were other queer women in my rural area. There weren't that many and so most of my matches were located in cities but I went on one date from it and now four year later we are engaged! In my experience it was a great app as we never would have met otherwise and I certainly never found it just to be a hook-up app. I deleted it once we met but I still follow Her on social media and appreciate the community they are building.
