Members are more active in using other features such as forums than messaging.
There is no live chat available.
Members always use the forums page to discuss instead of intimate, personal messages.
All members can send messages for free
You will not receive a message immediately after your account is created because the site has to verify first if your account is fake or not. Sending likes to other people is already allowed, but it seems that this feature is not used often. The highest percentage of activities are scattered across other features such as topic forums, polls, and games. It is also noticeable that people under the "Matches" list do not engage immediately. They may be busy in other parts of the dating site as it is wide and has a lot of features.

There is a photo gallery where you can browse photos of other members.

The profile contains only the basic details such as the gender, religion, occupation, etc. The areas which offer the most content are the tabs where your answers in the required essay type questions (during registration) are included.
Inside the page are the buttons that may be used to interact with the profile owner. There is a "Send a message" button, "Like" button, "Send FLower" button, and "Contact Requirements" button. Under "Contact Requirements" button, you will find the criteria set by the profile owner that you must meet if you want to send him or her a message.
Connecting Singles App
The design is clear and appropriate.
The app looks crowded because of the site’s several features.
The app is available for Android devices.
It is free to download.
The ConnectingSingles app is similar to a browser that opens automatically the mobile version of ConnectingSingles. The site seems to be more convenient to use because of the many features. In the app, you will have to scroll down a lot if you are looking for a particular feature. It is somewhat hard to look for the functionality that you want to use because you will scroll through a long list of features.
The loading of the app is also somewhat slow compared to other dating apps. If you want to use the dating site on-the-go, it is better to just access the mobile-friendly version on your phone browser.

Editor's Conclusion
Chris Pleines Founder of Datingscout and Author of the book "Online Dating for Dummies"
The site is true in its claim about having quality membership in its community, but it is relatively slow in finding you a prospective partner. It has a lot of fun features, but the dating-related ones are only a few. In addition, these dating-related features have fewer activities compared to non-dating related features such as games and puzzle. It seems like the non-dating related features only serve as a distraction to its users instead of a tool to hasten up the matching process. Does the site really want to be a dating site or an online community such as Facebook? So far, it is more successful in creating a general online community that lacks the dating spirit. If you think this is not for you, you may browse through our Matchmaker category.
