So Tinder?
Yes, but on Tinder the profiles will re-appear later when you go back to swipe again. Other apps allow general browsing and better photo viewing too.
Wait, are you saying that Tinder will show you accounts that you've swiped left on at a later date? I have not found that to be the case.
Yes, I've personally seen memorable profiles come back later. It's one way to make the app seem busier with more people.
Interesting. I wonder if this is people deleting and re-creating accounts? Or spam accounts using the same images?
Oh, that might be possible. I mostly remember the photos and not the details of the profile, which by design is pretty thin as it is.
Mmm, I wonder if this is because the user you’re seeing is using the “Show my profile first to everyone” paid feature?
Depending on your level of intoxication, you might swipe right the second time.

Maybe this is a little unfair considering it was only a beta. Isn't a cornerstone of agile to get an MVP in front of users and iterate on user feedback? It doesn't seem right to judge any software based on a beta experience alone.
Sure, but even as a first pass I'd hoped that the devs would have used the other dating apps and tried to make the experience better based on that.
I don't think anyone even looked based on what I see. It's clearly inferior to Tinder, Bumble and OKCupid's mobile apps just on basic usability.
If you're going to enter a space, shouldn't you try to do better than the market leaders?
The UI is just bad. You cannot browse profiles, you must say "yes" or "no" and the decision is final. If you scroll down to read a profile more, when you pass, it leaves you in the same scroll spot in the next profile. This is User Interface 101 level stuff. The list of problems goes on from there.
Everything about it says "throwaway add-on" that they haven't spent any real time on optimizing.
When originally announced, Match stock dropped 25% on the news, only to bounce back. I don't see this product really making a big dent in the Match bottom line.
