AFF Dating for iPhone

Real people.
Right nearby.
Right now.

AFF Dating is where you meet someone real in your own city — fast. Every profile video is reviewed by a person, your feed shows who's online right now, and Nearby finds people around you in one tap.

  • Human-reviewed video profiles
  • A live list of who's online
  • People in your city

Our belief

Dating should lead to a date.

Somewhere along the way, dating apps got good at endless swiping and bad at actually meeting. Profiles you can't trust. Messages that never get answered. "Nearby" that isn't. We built AFF Dating on a simple idea: the best match is a real person, close to you, who's ready to talk right now. So we review every profile video, show you who's online this minute and help you find people in your own city — then we get out of the way, so you can go meet.

What AFF stands for

Real. Near. Now.

Three promises behind every screen in the app.

  • Real

    No fake photos. No catfish.

    Every member records a short video in the app, and a real person reviews it before the profile goes live.

    How video review works
  • Near

    Same city, same night.

    Nearby searches your city in one tap and shows people you could actually meet this week — or tonight.

  • Now

    See who's online, right now.

    A live list of people who are active this minute, so your hello lands while they're here — and gets a faster reply.

    See who's online

01Live now

See who's online.
Right now.

Your feed is a live list of people who are active at this very moment, updated in real time as people come online. Say hi to someone who's actually here — and get a reply while the moment still counts.

  • Updates in real time

    New people slide in the moment they come online, so the list is always who's here now.

  • Online, at a glance

    A green dot means they're on AFF right now — not sometime last week.

  • Faster replies

    People who are online are ready to talk. Say hi in one tap and keep the conversation moving.

02Real video profiles

Real video.
Reviewed by real people.

No stock photos. No catfish. Every member records a short profile video right in the app, and a real person on our team reviews it before that profile ever shows up.

Video review helps keep fake profiles out. It isn't an identity or background check, so always follow our safety tips.

03Nearby

Same city.
Same night.

Tap Search and AFF scans your city for people who are around. Swipe through video-reviewed profiles, like the ones you'd love to meet, and turn a hello into plans — tonight.

  • One-tap city search

    A quick scan finds people in your city — no endless scrolling.

  • Swipe to like or pass

    Right for yes, left for not now. Drag, tap or use the arrow keys in the demo.

FAQ

Good questions.

Straight answers about how AFF works.

Visit the Help Center
Is everyone on AFF real?

Every profile needs a short video recorded live in the AFF app, and a person on our team reviews it before the profile appears in the live list or in Nearby. Review helps keep fake and catfish accounts out, but it isn't an identity or background check — so always follow our safety tips.

How does video review work?

After you record your 8-second profile video, it goes to our review team. They check that it was recorded in the app, that it's the same person as your profile photos, and that it follows our Community Guidelines. You can see the status in the app. If we can't approve a video, we'll tell you why so you can record a new one.

What does "online now" mean?

The green dot and "Active now" show people who are using AFF right now. The live list updates as people come and go, so you can say hi while they're around.

How does Nearby use my location?

When you tap Search in Nearby, AFF asks for your location while you're using the app and uses it to work out your city. Other members only ever see your city — never your exact location. You can turn location access off at any time in iOS Settings.

Is AFF free?

AFF is free to download, and you can create your profile, browse who's online and say hi without paying. Nearby is part of AFF Premium, which is available as a weekly or monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the App Store before you buy. See the subscription terms.

How do I report or block someone?

Tap ⋯ on their profile or on their row in the list, then choose Report this user or Block this user. Blocking takes effect immediately, and you can unblock people later in Settings → Blocked users. If you're ever in danger, contact local emergency services first.
