"Found out about POM from my friend who has met a lot of friends from the dating app. I tried it hoping to find a woman. Though I did meet a lot of friends, I did not once find a date – maybe because there are very few people active on the app. It is a very nice app though. A lot of potential there." - Ben, 29, London

Who is signed up on POM in the UK?
Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on POM from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.
The majority of POM members fall under the younger age range, as it should because the dating app was designed for millennials and Gen Z singles. Only 18+ years old can sign up.
POM is relatively a new dating app and is not as popular as other apps in the market. It generally has a small member base and app activity is low. However, current members of the app seem to be authentic people who are trying out something new in the hopes of meeting new friends and potential dates.
