Detailed profile information section
Can be edited anytime
Profile and photo verification
Interesting personality questions
Can be accessed by everyone

The profiles are quite detailed
Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free
Profile photo and profile information can be added or changed later

Military Cupid's profile section is a combination of basic, essential, and interesting information. The site has a long profile information section, which is what makes it informative. Answering and filling out the different fields can be very helpful.

However, some might find filling out sections tiring. It may seem unnecessary for others as well to make their profiles as detailed as they should be because what really matters for them is the physical appearance.

Still, making your profile as detailed as possible is a great start for other members who would like to know you more.

App

Free to download
Available only for Android users
Functionality is the same as the desktop version
User-friendly
Organised interface

The Military Cupid app is best for its on-the-go users. Its functionalities are basically the same with the desktop counterpart. All the features in the site can also be found in the mobile app. What makes it a little different is just the design and the interface. The app is more concise and organised. However, you can still experience the same usability and enjoyment while using the Military Cupid mobile app.

Real Life Review

"I'm a Marine Corps officer, and my second tour will begin in two weeks. I remember my first tour in Syria. It was hard but fulfilling, and the sad part was returning back home with no one waiting for me. I mean, someone special who will welcome you with tight hugs and sweet kisses. Although finally, this time will be different.

I met Katie months ago through Military Cupid. This dating site was recommended by my colleague. He also met his fiance here, and that was what inspired me to also try the site. Good thing that I did.

Katie promised me that she will patiently wait for my return. As soon as I get back, we will start planning for our dream wedding. Yes, I already proposed to her and she said yes."

-Lance Corporal Clarkson, 31

Usability and Design

Neat -- that is the most appropriate word to describe Military Cupid's website design. It is very straightforward, with no unnecessary pop-up ads and overwhelming graphics. That is basically the characteristic of Cupid Media's dating sites -- no more, no less.

With regard to its function, the site is relatively user-friendly. It is easy to navigate and to be familiarised with. Everything is properly in place. Readable fonts that are set in white background make the site easier to use.
