What is DOWN?
DOWN is the now-or-never dating app and the best dating app for women. Unlike most apps, you don't have to declare what you're looking for before you start. You decide with each person: swipe DOWN for something casual, UP for something more.
How do I create an account for DOWN?
Wait, so how do I use DOWN? I don't swipe left or right?
Nope. On each profile, you have two options: swipe DOWN for something casual or UP for something more.
Not feeling it at all? Swipe left and keep moving. You can always go back to their profile if you change your mind.
All of this gives women more clarity, control, and a better way to date on their own terms.

What is Get DATE and Get DOWN?
Swipe UP for a date—dinner, drinks, something that might turn into something more. Swipe DOWN for something casual. You choose with every swipe, every time.
What is the Group Play feature?
The group play feature lets you find people who are open to a threesome, polyamory, or a group arrangement.
Single? You can choose what kind of setup works for you. Already have a partner? You can search together. Real people, verified profiles, always.

How to get the Unicorn badge?
If you're a single woman exploring casual dating and down to join a threesome, you'll get a Unicorn badge on your profile when you use the Group Play feature. Wear it well.
What are Highlights?
Highlights are stickers you add to your profile to show what makes you worth swiping on. Funny, kinky, juicy—there are 30+ options. Think of it as the part of your profile where you add an extra dose of personality. Others can find you based on your Highlight sticker, so choose wisely!
Will I get notified when I match?
Yes! Make sure push notifications are on in Settings. If you match with the same intentions (e.g. You both say GET DATE), we'll tell you.
What if we swiped in different directions?
Still a match. If you both like each other—even if one of you swiped UP and the other swiped DOWN—we'll connect you and let you figure out the rest.
Can I see profiles I’ve already liked?
Yes. Go to the Visitors tab and tap "You Liked." They’re all there waiting for you.
Can I see who’s swiped UP or DOWN on me?
Yes, with a VIP membership. Go to the Visitors tab and tap "Visitors" to see who's already interested.
What are Nearby Picks?
Every day, DOWN surfaces new profiles based on your preferences. The more you use the app, the better it gets at finding people who are actually your type—whether that's something casual, something more, or somewhere in between.
Can I filter by location or dating preferences?
Yes. DOWN lets you filter by gender, location, and dating preferences. Dial it in and see who shows up.
How do I report someone?
Tap through to their bio page, and there's a report button next to their name. Use it if something feels off: a suspicious bio, someone who says they’re underage, or anything that doesn't seem right. If that doesn't resolve it, reach out to us directly at ops@downapp.com. Thanks for helping keep DOWN real.
How safe is DOWN?
Very. Here’s what we have in place:
1. Every person on DOWN is photo-verified before they can swipe. No bots, no fakes, no exceptions.
2. If something feels off, you can report the profile. Our team reviews every report.
3. You can unmatch anyone at any time, no explanation needed.
4. Your data is encrypted, so it stays yours. We’ll never sell it or share it. For more info on privacy, see our Privacy Policy. More safety tips: User Safety.

How do I undo a match?
Simply find them in your messages, swipe left on the conversation, and tap "Unmatch." Done.
I accidentally unmatched someone. Can I undo it?
Unfortunately no, unmatching can't be undone. Double check before you unmatch to be safe.
I’m having trouble joining. What’s going on?
DOWN is for adults only, so you'll need to be 18 or older to get started. If you are and you're still running into issues, close the app and try again. Still stuck? Reach out to us at ops@downapp.com and we'll sort it out.
Can I get a refund?
All in-app purchases are nonrefundable, including partially used periods. Purchases are handled directly by the App Store or Google Play, so you can contact them with any billing questions.
How do I delete my account?
You can disable your account from the Settings page in the app. To fully delete your account from our database, submit a request here: account deletion form. We'll take care of the rest. And if you’re ever down to see who’s out there again, you know where to find us.
