About Friends Reunited Dating

Friends Reunited Dating

Friends Reunited Dating is a relatively new player that comes with a nice fresh design and some interesting features. It is the creation of online dating stalwart, Cupid.com and is their attempt to piggyback on the still well-known brand, Friends Reunited. This, as you may remember was a wildly popular service back in the early days of social media. Overall dating-experts is interested in this new Cupid offering and will be keeping an eye on it to see how good a service it turns out to be.

In terms of features, the site is right up to date and has all the different ways of getting in contact and viewing profiles that you would expect of an ambitious new player. Multiple and well laid out search options allow you to very easily vary your criteria and once you’ve found a profile you like there are also numerous methods of getting in touch (Winks, ice breakers etc)

Generally the profiles on this site seem to be fairly full and are certainly well laid out. Most people have loaded a picture onto their profile and filled out at least some basic information about themselves. There is also a well-used forum section with loads of tips and advice for new daters, though some of this is company generated material rather than organic comment.

The site has certainly beeen the recipient of some serious design thought and effort, something that is becoming a hallmark of the Cupid group (think of their snazzy new Uniform Dating site). The colours are bold and graphics right up to date. The profile section is full of landing page style calls to action to keep the customer continuously engaged and active.

There is a lot that you can do on this site for free. Creating your profile, browsing through search results and viewing pictures. However, if you want to have a proper conversation and get to know someone, you will need to purchase the full subscription. Prices come in fairly mid ranged, but at its cheapest there is a very affordable three day trial.

All the subscription plans, including the 3 day trial come with automatic renewal unless you cancel within good time.

Customer Service is available via email template. There is also a number to call on the payment page.
