Our Review

S'more is a relatively new dating app available which aims for long-term relationships. It is owned and operated by Something More Inc. The app was released on New Year's Day 2020.

It is popular for blurring the profiles of the members as they get to know each other. Although it generally is considered as a dating app, building a friendly relationship is welcome as well.

During the time of testing, the app is only available in few USA States— New York City, Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Dallas. Currently, only iOS users can use and enjoy the features of the app.

It is available only for iOS devices as of the moment but the company says that there will be an Android version in the near future.

  • Members are into long-term relationships
  • All members are iOS users
  • Few registered users
  • Members from select USA states can use the app
  • Low member activity

S'more is still building its members data base. It's reasonable since it is still a young app. Since its operations are still around the states of New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Dallas, users from outside the mentioned states can request to use the app in advance. However, they can only use it to connect with legitimate members and not those who are nearby (if there are any).

Since the app is only available on iOS devices, members are of course Apple users.

Their difference between male and female members is not very noticeable, while the most number of members are young adults.

How to Sign Up for S'More

Smore Home
  • Easy registration process
  • Sign-up for free
  • Basic information is required in signing up
  • Upload a photo for free
  • Photo verification is part of registration
  • You cannot edit submitted information during registration

Signing up with S'more is free. It wouldn't take much time—15 minutes max if you will do it without interruption.

Like any typical dating site, you need to supply some basic information and upload a recent photo which will then be verified using a selfie. The app assures its members that the selfies sent are not used by other people, and are not shown on any member's profile. It will be solely used as a verification tool.  

Be sure to enter your active email address to receive updates and in case you've forgotten your password. After the basic information, you have to choose the interests that best fit you and it will be the basis for the daily picks that will be sent to you. So make sure that you choose the correct ones for more accurate matching.

As you accomplish your registration forms, you cannot go back to the ones that you have submitted until after you finalize the information. When you're done with it and you're able to go to your profile, you can edit it anytime you like.

Smore Message
  • Wink or choose a criteria on the members profile to start your connection
  • Send initial message once you've shown enough interest
  • Photos completely unblur once a member replies
  • One hour limit to reply to opened messages
  • Enjoy the Daily Picks

There are several on how members can communicate in S'more. Some are included in the free membership, while others can be accessed with a premium membership.

Start a conversation with a wink or click on the criteria. It takes time and consistent effort to be able to finally view another member's profile and photos without a blur. You can send an initial message to show the other member that you are interested in them.

Once you receive a message, you can reply anytime. However, you have to make sure to reply not after an hour or else, the message will disappear. The timer only starts once you open the message.

In S'more, searching is not possible but there is Daily Pick feature where you will be able to see 15 members' profiles. You can choose to message your top 8 and message them. If you are a premium member, you can message up to 12 members.

In addition to that, you can also message all the members from the Spotlight list.

Chatting and video chatting are both available in S'more. However, it will also start as a blurred video call.

S'More Profile Quality

Smore Profile
  • Share unique choices and liestyle
  • Profile information is not very detailed
  • Members can upload photos and videos
  • Add a bio statement to get other members' attention
  • Increase your profile rating to find better connections
  • Add Autoplay music and voice responses on your profile

    You won't be able to view a member's profile right away. Both of you should show interest in each other first so that, your profiles will be slowly unblurred. Profiles are not complete without at least one "premium or visual content" which shows the best interest of the member who owns it. The content should be either a video recording, a gallery of your photos, or your social media profile. This also aims to lessen the risk of having fake members around.

    S’More has also redesigned the photo reveal mechanic, adding a pie chart over profile photos. The more a person chats, the more slices are removed, slowly revealing their profile photo. Profiles are now equipped with autoplay music and members can now add unique cover photos.

    All profiles can be edited after registration. You just have to go to the profile settings and adjust the criteria, edit your bio, and add or delete contents.

    Profile deactivation is also possible and you can find this option on the settings page. However, once your profile has been deactivated, all your profile information and photos will be deleted as well.

    The icons on your profile can be adjusted just like how you move icons around your iPhone homepage. Press the icon long enough then drag it to the position where you want it to be.

    To see whose profile is credible, members have their profile rating visible to everyone who visits their profiles.

    Factors that affect S'more profile rating

    • Account activity
    • Completeness of profile
    • Message responses duration
    • Attitude towards the people you exchange messages with

    Profile Verification

    S'more utilizes Amazon Web Services (AWS) Rekognition a deep learning-based image and video analysis service, to protect daters from fake profiles and remove banned content. ith AWS, S’More can autimatically remove users who break the app’s photo policy by having banned content. AWS re-verifies a profile whenever a profile photo is changed via facial recognition, and can also check for banned content using the service’s content moderation capability

    S'More Real Life Review

    "S'More is really something more! The app has a twist to the traditional online dating. It's like the movie "Love is Blind," online version. It keeps the mystery first among its members. However, speaking of members, it just have a few members. So far, I haven't met someone who I think I will get a long with. I hope they will have more members because the app is quite good."-Cara, 29

    "I am not a fan of surprises, so I don't like that I cannot see and browse the profile. Maybe it's just me, but the idea of this app is not good for me." -Harley, 24

    Design and Usability

    The app design of S'more is pleasing to the eyes. It is not overwhelming and the app has an easy-to-understand layout. The bright colors make it look energizing. Members of all ages will enjoy using the app in terms of the design. The icons will not make the members think hard, since they represent their functions pretty well.

    However, since it is still new, it still has a lot to improve. An Android version is next to be developed. 

    Even though it has a website, it can only be used to access the link to the download page of the app.

    Editor's Conclusion

    S'more is a promising app and has a lot to offer. However, since it only is available to a few places, the members are still limited. The price is reasonable, but since it is only available to iOS-users as of the moment, it still limits the reach of the members to it. So if you like to use a dating app as promising as it is, but has more members that you can interact with, check our other Dating App Reviews.
