Member Structure

While POF welcomes anyone who is 18 years old or above, the majority of users are of age 25-34. Men outweigh women here as well as other dating platforms. In the case of POF, this is by around 20 percent. Mostly, members are from the USA.

Signing Up

One thing that makes POF unique is its sign-up process, which is extremely in-depth. While creating a profile, you would ask several different types of questions related to you. It is obligatory to provide an answer to each and every question to complete the registration.

One thing that this site lacks is the registration through social media accounts, which is today’s standard practice followed by online dating platforms to use your social account profile (like Facebook) to garner info about you, and POF doesn’t follow that practice.

The registration is free. The best thing about this platform is that the almost all features you can use for free, and with premium ones accessible to ones who consider its subscription.

Making Contact

Love to text singles? Then, we have good news for you. With this platform, messaging comes free, too.

Similar to text messaging, you can exchange messages with other members and develop connections online before meeting in-person. What’s more? With a free account, you can interact with others for free and unlimited.

Wait, there’s more! POF is one of those platforms that let you record a beautiful voice message and share it with others. Generally, with most online dating sites, you don’t get the ability to share voice messages until you get comfortable enough to exchange mobile phone numbers. Thus, this site offers an amazing opportunity to connect and get to know your connection online safely.

Private messaging comes in handy when you would like to keep a conversation between the two of you. Only women can send pictures in a pm to prevent inappropriate or salacious photographs being shared with female members.

POF Dating App

POF app is available on:

• Google Store to download on Android tablets and phones
• Windows Store to download on iPhones or iPads
• App Store to download on Windows devices

So, whether you’re using an Android device, iPhone/iPad, or Windows phone, you can take advantage of POF on your smartphone. Both app and web versions are similar. But, in terms of convenience and usability, you will like using its app version over the web one.

It’s worth mentioning here is that if you ever want to deactivate your account, then you need to rely on the web version to do that. The app doesn’t yet let you do that.

In all, we highly recommend you to get the POF app to look for your matches and builds connections only whenever and wherever you want to.

Plenty Of Fish App

Profile Quality

During sign up, you’ll include info about your hobbies, the activities you do in your spare time, your friends, and much more. You’ll choose whether you’re in for a casual hangout or a lasting connection. The match results for all male and female members are guaranteed thanks to these questions.

So, one thing is that you’re going to come across profiles that are very informative.

The profile page on this dating platform doesn’t center on the user alone; it even lists down more information about people – family status, for instance, through the profile.

If you use a free online account, then uploading up to 8 profile images is possible. But, you can upload 16 if you get a premium subscription. Face filters banning make certain that – “What you perceive is what you have” principle into building connections among members.

POF Review by Users

“POF is a decent dating site. I highly recommend it to others as this platform has helped me to find so many beautiful friendships. From the safety point of view, I must say that this platform truly care for their member’s safety, so go ahead and give a try.”

“I have made a lot of friends, and all thanks go to this dating site. Believe it or not…I am active on this dating platform for about five months. I love the way I can scroll through who sees my profile, and it indeed seems like a lot of guys interested in talking or meeting with me. Go ahead, join and maybe you’ll meet me and have some fun together.”

Design & Usability

We have compared the app version to the desktop version of the POF. To be honest, we found design overwhelming with a desktop version. On the other side, the app is quite easier to use.

As mentioned before, both versions are the same in terms of functionality. Be it an app or desktop version, updating your profile and connecting with other members is possible.

If we talk about search, make it as flexible and usable as you would like it to be. What’s more? If you know a particular member’s username, you can take advantage of username search. In terms of search functionality, POF definitely stands out from others.

Costs and Prices

If you choose the basic services and features, then there is no cost to register. But, if you want access to premium features, then you have to get a subscription.

POF offers three levels of subscription:

• Two months subscription at 38.70 USD
• Four months subscription at 51.00 USD
• Eight months subscription at 81.40 USD

Keep in mind that premium membership is on auto-renew mode. If you want to call off your subscription, do it before your plan expires. Otherwise, you’ll be charged.
