Spotted sets itself apart by providing its users with matches that are likely to have crossed paths with them rather than with complete strangers. It makes sense this way since having more familiarity with another person makes the transition to dating smoother and less awkward.

Spotted is extremely popular in English-speaking countries, namely the United States and the United Kingdom. Since it’s an app made by millennials, it’s quite expected that the population is also quite young. The bulk of the population belongs to the 18-24 age range. They are closely followed by those in the 25-34 group, while older users are the minority at Spotted.

Gender-wise, there’s quite an imbalance. Males dominate the app, with over 80% of the population. This uneven ratio makes dating fun and active; there’s quite a lot of competition going on to find the right match for one girl. Members are looking for long-term relationships and meaningful connections.

Making Contact on Spotted

  • There is a chatroom

Spotted, at its very core, is a dating app designed to spot locals for you to connect, meet and mingle with. Its features allow you to have a take two of your encounter with that cute girl or that quirky boy who has caught your eye but you haven't had the guts to say hello at that time. 

The "Notes" feature most definitely embodies the spirit of Spotted. When you "spot" a cute girl, wearing a red sweater, at the local coffee shop, you can write an anonymous note describing her and tagging the location where you've seen her. The note may or may not reach her. Similarly, she may or may not also respond to the note. 

The other features are common with other dating apps. Spotted has a chat function where you can instantly message other members. Unfortunately, this function is only available for paid members.

For standard members, you get to "reveal" one profile per day. This means you can go to a member's profile and see their location. Of course, you can only do this once per day. If you have availed of Spotted's premium offers, you can browse through profiles to your heart's content. 

Spotted Profile Quality

profile quality
  • Upload up to six photos
  • You can write a brief description of yourself in the "About You" section in 500 characters
  • Personalize your profile by adding information about your height, eye color, hair color, and body art (if there are any)
  • View full profile information
  • The profiles are poorly detailed
  • The profile information can be changed later
  • Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free

While viewing profile photos are free, profiles information, on the other hand, require a premium membership.  A Standard member can only view up to one profile fully per day. Nevertheless, it is still very much important to have a fully fleshed-out profile. This will help increase your authenticity as a person while attracting other members to interact with you. 

You can start by uploading images. You can upload images from your phone's gallery or sync them from Facebook. You can have six photos at maximum displayed. You can also write a brief description of yourself and who you are looking for in the "About You" section.

Another tip: provide information about your eye color, hair color, and body art, if applicable. The main highlight of this app is the "Notes" where people can look for other people they have spotted based on their eye and hair description. So if a person is looking for a red-haired-green-eyed-girl-with-a-heart-tattoo, if the description fits you, you will more or less likely pop up in the search creating a perfect, serendipity moment. 

While the app promotes its security based on Facebook authentication, not all people who have Facebook are legit. Fake profiles are still present on the app so always be careful of who you are talking to.
