Adventist Singles implement a very strict verification process. The site puts more importance in the quality of its membership base rather than quantity. It does not allow skipping of registration steps and requires you to upload at least one photo that clearly shows your face which will be submitted for approval.

You can create an account by using either an email address or a Facebook account. The site checks if the accounts are authentic. Recently made, no-content accounts raise red flags and are blocked immediately by the site so it is extremely hard to create a fake account. The entire registration process will take up to five minutes.

Making Contact

All filters in the member search tool are available for free.
You can check the list of currently online members in the "Online" section.
You can either send a "like," "smile," or a message to get in touch with another member.
If you are a free member, you may send messages to premium members only.
The search tool includes location, age, and other preferences filters.

Looking for a match in Adventist Singles is made a lot easier by the "LookBook" feature which is available for free. This page shows multiple profiles presented in tile view. Every tile will show the profile picture and basic details of the members. Profiles on the "LookBook" are randomly selected by the system. This lets the users get connected to others who are out of their location range.

Despite the community's supposedly religious orientation, posting of personal contact details is strictly prohibited by the site for safety reasons. If you want to communicate with another member, you have to upgrade your account to premium or make sure that the other person is a premium member.

Profile Quality

You can only see the main photo of a member if you are a free member.
You may unlock the entire photo album of a user by upgrading to premium.
The profile information can be accessed even by non-paying members.

The profiles are quite detailed
The profile information can be changed later
Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free
Photo albums can be added later.

You will notice that the photos inside Adventist Singles are of good quality. This is because they implement a strict profile photo standard. All photos will have to show clearly the user's face or else it will be rejected. A free user may also create his or her own photo album, but the number of photos is limited to only six.

You will see a lot of information inside the profile because the registration process cannot be skipped. The profile will give you information on the person's church attendance frequency, hobbies, and dating site goals. You will also see if a user is online or not.

App

The design is clear and appropriate.
The app has similar features with the desktop version.
The app is available for Android and Apple devices.
It is free to download.
The functions are intuitive and straightforward.

The Adventist Singles app is very easy to use and familiarize with because of its simple design.

The user interface is divided into five sections: home, messages, likes, search, and account settings. You will easily find what you are looking for even if it is your first time using the app.

The app also has all the functionalities that you can find inside the desktop version. The app is a more suitable platform for you if you want to take your dating experience with you everywhere you go. However, the desktop version displays bigger profile pictures, so they are clearer.

Real Life Review

As much as possible, I wish to find love and have a life partner who shares the same faith with me. I have tried a lot of dating sites before, and I must tell you, it is extremely hard to find someone who is a religious Seventh Day Adventist member. Most of these places I know do not have Christian religion in their profile information so it definitely gave me hope when I heard about dating services that cater to singles with religious affiliations as a priority. My friend from church recommended it to me so I joined. I also know other people from church who is an Adventist Singles member. It was fun being here so far. The people are sincere and I never get those unsolicited rude messages you usually get on other sites. I hope to find my special someone soon! -Johanna, 32

Design and Usability

The website design is neat and organized. It is easy to find what you are looking for. The features are separated into useful sections that are easy to understand.

The profile photos are clear and huge enough to see the face of the user. The "smile" and "like" buttons are colorful, which attracts attention when you visit another user's profile.
