The app has more of a dating service feel than the website. In the app, the "Meet Me" feature is the main highlight whereas in the website the games seemed to be the priority. Also, the app is better designed than the website. The customisable profiles with "skins" are disabled in the app. When you view someone's profile, you'll find the standard font and a clean, white background. The functions, which were jam-packed on the homepage of the website, are properly arranged in the app. It has over 10 million downloads.

"Pets is a really entertaining game and I've managed to buy the most pets in a few days thanks to dedication (and paying real cash). I mostly use it for fun. It's a great place to waste time without feeling like I'd be judged because I'm playing against fellow adults. Never really got a date there but that's not what I use the site for. The profiles throw me back to early 2006 Myspace. Kind of a turn off but again, I'm not here to look at profiles. LOL." - Male Businessman (34)

Design and Usability

The website's features are crowded and organised without a thought as to which one would be the members' main purpose. The presence of games makes it feel less like an online dating website and more like a social network for people of all ages. On the main page you are bombarded with potential matches, pets you should buy on the game, and a feed with constant updates from members. It can get overwhelming. The posts and photos dangerously lean towards pornographic, which is worrying because there are a lot of minors on this site. The website's censorship and overall monitoring seems very lax.

Pets is a game that lets you buy and sell other members. You yourself can be bought and sold too. You start off with a value of about 12 million Qd (the currency in the game). You can buy other members for the price of 0.01 Qd, which can be really easy for you, but very easy for others to buy your pets from you. As you buy more pets, your value increases and you get cash bonuses. If you're bought by someone, your value will increase by 10%. Those are the basics. It's a buy-and-sell trade game, and your value only really decreases if you become inactive in the game.

LUV are technically "gifts" that you can give and receive from someone. Each user gets 10 LUV everyday. Every time you give and receive LUV, you'll earn points. Also, if you give someone LUV, they'll get additional LUV to give to someone else. For each LUV you receive, the bar underneath your photo in your profile increases. The fuller the bar, the more LUV you've received from various members. You basically get bragging rights and show everyone else how popular and loved you are in Tagged.
