Dating App Hily – One of the Fastest Growing Dating App
IRISH TECH NEWS – Mar 27 – Within just 1.5 years after the launch, Hily's team got the app to the top in its category on Apple Store, getting more daily downloads than Bumble in the US and Tinder in the UK. Hily's developers are paying attention to their users' opinions, allowing them to take part in the app development. Hily is very similar to any other dating app out there; however, taking a closer look, you will see plenty of things that make it stand out among its competitors:
- All users are verified by moderators
- Apart from swiping, users can also watch stories.
- The app offers icebreakers to make the start of the conversation easier.
The unique feature of the app is the usage of artificial intelligence. The machine analyses users, likes, matches, and dialogues to create a personalized and best-matching set of potential partners. The more the users swipe, the smarter the machine gets, and the higher are their chances to find someone.
Hily is now planning to launch in Australia, New Zealand, France, and others. This takes a lot of time and effort. At the same time, we are working on the app a lot – adapting it to new countries, making it more inclusive and user-friendly. Very soon we are also planning to make it compatible with different gadgets like smart watches for example.
