What is DOWN App?
DOWN App is the best dating app if you're searching for singles nearby. We are the most honest dating app - unlike other dating apps like Tinder, with DOWN Dating App you can choose whether you want a date or something casual. As the best dating app for the open minded, we support honesty and view attraction as a healthy, natural and important aspect in adult dating. We want you to have fun with your dating app matches, and we believe it’s healthier if people are up-front with what they want by specifying if they want to GET (a) DATE or connect instantly.
How do I create an account for DOWN App?
You can download DOWN App on Android (Google Play) and iOS (App Store). You can use your Facebook to login/sign-in, as well as your Apple ID or Google account.
Wait, so how do I use DOWN App? I don't swipe left or right?
Glad you asked! We’re not just another dating app. You don’t swipe left or right using DOWN App, you swipe up or down. Swiping up means you want to GET (a) DATE, while swiping down means you want to GET DOWN with your dating app match. If you’re not interested in their dating profile, you can swipe left and move on, but don’t worry, you can still come back to their profile if you change your mind.
What is Get DATE and Get DOWN?
Swiping up to Get DATE means you’re looking for something like a partner, a serious, romantic relationship or even just a date night. Swiping to Get DOWN means you’re looking for something casual, an easygoing connection, or a spontaneous meet-up. You’re not looking for something serious and that’s okay.
What is the Group Play feature?
DOWN App’s Group Play feature lets you choose a variety of options based on your preferences when it comes to group dating and open relationship dynamics. If you don’t have a partner, you can choose all types of arrangements for whom you would like to join your group connection: 2 men, 2 women or 1 man and 1 woman. If you have a partner and would like to explore group connections, you can choose between adding 1 man, 1 woman or any single person.
How to get the Unicorn badge I see in some profiles?

This feature allows you to choose the type of local connection you want based on the Highlight sticker displayed so you can see just what makes them special.
