Dattch, The LESBIAN DATING APP Is Coming To LA!

After months of speculation and demands, Dattch is finally launching for lesbian, bisexual and queer women in LA. The app that made it easier than ever to meet and talk with women will be launching in Los Angeles on Friday 9th May.

Dattch rose to fame in the UK and across the US by creating something unprecedented: a lesbian app that was actually designed for women. No more re-skins of gay male apps. Since their release in San Francisco just 8 weeks ago, Dattch has seen thousands of requests from across America but LA drove the most downloads, making it the next city for the app to be released in.

With their female driven user experience and beautiful design, it’s clear from the outset the difference this makes. With Pinterest inspired profiles, girls upload images to show who they really are, pulling from their Instagram and Facebook feeds.

To coincide with the launch they’re releasing an overhaul to their most popular feature Would You Rather. Women now choose between two profiles and matches get a conversation opener. It’s less about Hot or Not, more about personal preference. And the girls are hooked; since going live in January, they’re seeing it played over 150,000 times per month.

But most controversially, Dattch grabbed headlines by only allowing female identified users on the app. With totally private Facebook sign in they’re the only app to have no male identified users on a lesbian site. Shocking. But finally lesbian, bisexual, queer, pansexual, flexisexual and every woman under the sun can finally get used to using an app that is just for them.

Dattch will continue to launch in the US on a city by city basis and users can request for their city to be next by voting in the app. The minute 2000 requests from any city are received, Dattch will publish the app live.

LESBIAN APP 'DATTCH' REVIEW: Red Head or Sky Diving? There’s an App for That!

by Bo Sellers

I've been online dating since I was 15 (my mom met my step-dad in a chat-room on AOL in 1997 so it’s never been weird for me) and have tried every website and app imaginable.  Recently single, and ready to flirt, I got totes excited when I heard of a new lesbian app sweeping North America.  

DATTCH, originating in the UK, offers yet another outlet for gay and bi ladies alike to filter through eligible-prospects in hopes of finding true love’s first kiss. You can privately connect your profile to Facebook, or make an independent account linked to your email. After making a profile, and posting a half-naked pic, in hopes of attracting a suitable rebound solution to my throbbing heart, I began my trolling.  

The aesthetically-appealing app offers two columns of women on the home-page, making it easy to rifle through the ones that speak to your poonahnah versus the ones better suited for a drunken make-out sesh in a dark dive bar. See a hottie you want to remember? Add her to your wishlist.

The application also offers a fun tab where you can read a blog that caters to various LGBT topics. My favorite feature has to be the “Would You?” tab, as in, “Would you rather message this red head, or would you rather drink a margarita?” “Would you rather learn more about blondie? or would you rather go for a hike?” I learned a lot about myself on this tab.

In summary, that I’d pretty much rather do anything than send out a message platonically conversing with a random chick, that will probably end after a flakey ‘hello’ ‘hi’ ‘you’re pretty’ ‘kthanksbye.’  Nonetheless, it was a fun game to play with about as much emotional investment necessary to choose what you want for breakfast.

The app is easy to navigate and is a fabulous time-killer while your quinoa is simmering. While I feel it has definite potential to create some impactful love connections state-side, the selection ladies is quite limited for now, so there’s only one way to solve that problem, download it.  Seriously.  I need someone to chat to about my failed relationships while I watch trashy TV and paint my nails.
