Academic Singles Review September 2026

You can contact your matches by going to their profiles and clicking the chat icon. As mentioned in the Registration process above, you can choose a pre-written question which will be sent en masse to your matches. You can then select from the responses and start communicating with someone you like. Even though you're already talking to someone regularly, you can still choose to remain anonymous. You get the final say on when your matches and get to see your photo.

After setting your search criteria (which can be changed and saved anytime), you have to wait 24 hours before your new matches get delivered to you. Only a few users will be added to your existing list of matches since their matchmaking process relies on how many people registered recently. Free male members can send one free message to each match. When you receive something, the entire message will be blurred. Only premium members (and women) can read their messages and send unlimited messages.

Profiles can be extremely detailed. Besides the basics, there are sections where you can state the food you like, holidays you enjoy, sports you enjoy, films & TV shows, leisure activities, and more. Within them you can choose between various options and rate them on a 6-star scale. For example, among the food you like you can include Japanese food and give it 4 stars.

The personality test isn't only used to find your match. Your answers are also analysed to give you your personality profile. Your personality profile is an evaluation of your characteristics. It shows where you stand on a scale that links various personality characteristics such as:

• Rationality versus Emotionality
• Tradition versus Innovation
• Distance versus Attachment
• Observation versus Feeling

Here is an example analysis under Observation versus Feeling:

Balanced, with a tendency towards observation

You rely on immediately tangible things that have already proven their worth. You avoid conjectural procedures and prefer to rely on your common-sense. People with a strong inclination towards cognitive perception take in the facts and details of the surrounding world, the way reality presents them. A feeling person prefers to deal with correlations, ideas, and associations, which are intuitive rather than obvious.

When you visit your match's account, you will see their personality profile contrasted against yours. This gives you your compatibility number. There's no clear scale that mentions what could be the lowest or highest number possible, but it seems like the average is somewhere above 100.

The app has the same look as the browser version. Some would say basic, while others would say streamlined. Just like the browser, there are no ads to be found on the app. Push notifications are available so you immediately know when you get a new match or when someone has messaged you. 

Surprisingly, most of the app's users are from Taiwan, followed by France. The app has an average of 2.5 stars as reviewed by users. The app is free to download on Google Play and the App Store.

I was bored going through websites that only showed me women based on my specifications. Age, distance, and religion isn't enough to gauge whether that person's compatible for me or not. The thought that my perfect match could be the exact opposite of what I had in my head. Then I heard about Academic Singles' scientific test. I have a solid career and I wasn't really only looking for educated people, but this was as good a place to start as any. I matched with this girl who joined the site about the same time as me, and we had a really high compatibility. We took our time getting to know each other online. When we met, I was still kind of skeptical, but it just feels like we'd known each other for decades. Academic Singles really helped me find this amazing woman and it was worth the failures from previous dating sites. - Male Realtor (35)

Design and Usability

The website has a clean and sophisticated design. There isn't much by way of fuss and frills, but with a name like Academic Singles, it only seems apt. To differentiate from its sister websites, Academic Singles has a blue theme. The top tab has four simple buttons: 

1. Home where you'll find your daily matches
2. Contact where you'll find the list of people you've already talked to
3. Mailbox where you'll find your messages
4. Premium which is where you can pay for a subscription

That's it. There are no special features which will distract you from finding your dream academic partner. When you log in and view the website, you immediately know what you're there for. You can scroll through the list of your partner recommendations and view sufficient details, enough to let you know whether you want to contact them or not. Profiles also display a helpful and visually appealing chart that shows how compatible you are with that person. The font is simple and easy to read, the background is easy on the eyes, and the design offers full functionality.
