Do you have any suggestions to improve dating apps?

I am wanting to be social again after a divorce, and am not willing to join any of the dating apps currently available.

Here is what I'd like to see:

First-name only user names, real names/account names should be hidden or opaque

No association with or dependency on external social media accounts

Reasonable monthly service fee (around $10/month) with the promise of no advertising, tracking, geotracking, or selling of user data

Pull only notification

Strict never-match criteria

Hyper-local geographical matching, with ability to turn on (I'm heading out tonight and am available) and turn off (the rest of the time)

I mean... with the exception of advertising, you just described tinder.

Tinder has points 1, 2 (if you use your phone number), the first part of 3 (but it's more like $20) and 6. Some apps have certain no-match criteria.
