The member base of Lovoo is highly composed of men. The majority of Lovoo members are under the age of 35. With its 70 million users, most members come from European countries like Germany, France, and Italy. Members from these countries make over 30 million of its member database.
However, Lovoo also has its fair share of the market in the United States, most of whom are young professionals looking for something to pass the time. Based on our test, it seems that Lovoo in the United States is not primarily used for dating. It is rather an app to meet like-minded individuals and make friends.
Member activity of Lovoo is relatively high compared to other social dating apps. More and more members participate in Lovoo Live, maybe because the incentives of Lovoo credits and cash is not a bad deal.

The “Discover” feature is a random member search where you can adjust the search filters. The search filters are pretty basic though. You can search depending on gender, age range, and location. However, changing the location is restricted within the different cities or provinces of your country.
Lovoo’s “Play” Feature
Play is Lovoo’s matchmaking game. It is a roulette-type matching wherein members are displayed, and you either have to click the heart for like or X if you want to pass on the user. When you are using Lovoo’s website, you can use your keyboard’s left and right arrows to hit like or pass.
Contacting Security
Lovoo makes it easy for all their users to block offensive users and report them to the admin. In the mobile app, the report button sits on the top-right of every user profile.

Write short introductions on your profile
The profiles are poorly detailed
Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free
Lovoo member's profiles don’t appear as separate pages. Instead, when you click on a member – whether on the Discover or Play page – the profiles appear on a pop-up window. When you view a member’s profile from the desktop version or on the mobile app, the member’s profile photo will take up half of the screen.
Profiles on Lovoo feature limited information about the member. They only show the name, location, age, and if the member is currently online. There is also an ‘About Me’ section in which users showcase who they are through a self-written paragraph. These pieces of information can be seen on the right side of the profile photo when viewed on the web, and the member’s photo gallery can be seen as you scroll down the pop-up profile window.
On mobile, the profile information is placed under the profile photo. The profiles have two tabs – one for the profile photo and information, and one that shows the member’s photo gallery. You are unable to view both tabs if you have not completed filling out your information or uploading at least three photos on your album.
Lovoo App
Highly interactive app
Easy navigation for usability
Required to fill out profile details to see other members’ details
At least 3 photo uploads are needed to see all photos of other members
Free to download in iOS and Android
Lovoo’s mobile app offers two additional features – Radar and Lovoo Live – besides what it provides on its web version. These additional features make the app highly interactive. Lovoo’s Radar feature shows Lovoo users who are approximate to your current set location. You will see your profile picture in the middle of the screen, with circles around it similar to ripples. When there are nearby users, you will see their profile icons on these ripples.
Lovoo Live is the newly released feature of Lovoo which allows users to host video streams and watch other members’ live streams for free. Lovoo Live can be used to earn money especially if your live videos are popular. Whenever your watchers give you gifts during your live stream, you earn a diamond. These diamonds can be exchanged for credits or cash.
Compared to the website, Lovoo’s mobile app tends to be used more by users, and Lovoo highly advocates that users use their app more than its desktop version.
