OurTime Review January 2021

Signing up for an account in Our Time is a quick and easy process. The process is interactive—the concept is that you are talking to your “OurTime Coach” who will be guiding you step-by-step throughout the registration.

The first thing she will ask you is about who you are looking for. This is followed by your birthday, city, and gender. You will also have to provide your first name, email address, and password. Also, Our Time values their partners and where their traffic comes from, so they will ask you how you got to know their website. There is a list of choices starting from referrals to press articles.

After successfully signing up, you will be required to answer some more personal information about your appearance, status, and lifestyle. You will also be asked about the ideal partner you are looking for to help Our Time tailor your matches to your specific criteria.

Our Time gives its standard users a chance to interact and connect with other members. They are able to send winks, add users to their ‘Favourites’ list, and use the ‘Blendr’ feature.

‘Blendr’ is a roulette-type of matchmaking where profile summaries of other members are presented to you one-by-one. This special feature asks if you like the profile you see, in which you can either answer with a click of a ‘Yes’ or ’No’. When you hit ‘Yes’, that particular profile will automatically belong to your ‘Favourites’ list and will notify the member that you liked. You are able to view and consider 100 profiles using Blendr every day.

Even with these free features, only paying members are able to see if ever they got mutual likes and winks. Reading and sending messages is also a paid feature, and Our Time does not offer any alternative add-on purchases for you to view them.

Video Date

OurTime also has a video chatting feature that its members can use to set up virtual dates using the platform. This feature is available if you have already started a conversation with another person and have exchanged at least four messages.

Profiles on Our Time feature a lot of detail about the members, considering that they must disclose all the information that is asked from them during registration. However, all questions about a member’s personal information are optional to answer.

All profile information is organised in section boxes on every member’s profile. The boxes are labelled depending on the type of personal information. The sections are labelled as ‘Personality’, ‘Body Type’, ‘My Lifestyle’, and ‘My Passions’. The ‘My Passions’ section has a slider where categories are displayed such as ‘Hobbies’, ‘Interests’, ‘Sports’, ‘Music Taste’, and ’Favourite Films’.

When you want to look at another member’s profile through the ‘Search’ and ‘Discover’ tabs, you can view a summary of that member’s profile. This preview appears on an on-site pop-up window where the profile photo is displayed, along with that member’s name, age, location, height, and personally written introduction paragraph. Two action buttons—‘Send a wink’ and ‘Add to favourites’—are also easily accessible on this preview.

Our Time offers a premium subscription which you can avail in three different durations. Premium membership in Our Time is automatically renewed for the same cost and package duration. If you are planning to get something out of your Our Time membership, it is best to upgrade your account. Being a premium member has a lot of important perks, such as sending messages and viewing who is interested in you.

Our Time also offers an add-on feature purchase called “Incognito Mode”, which lets you use the website anonymously, and hide your profile from search results. This add-on is offered in durations of one day for 1.99 GBP and one month for 9.99 GBP.
