Looking for a match in Adventist Singles is made a lot easier, and it is available for free. Your main page shows multiple profiles presented in a tile view. These profiles are your matches, which are randomly yet carefully selected by the site's matchmaking system.

Each tile shows the profile picture and essential details about a member. This feature lets you get connected as well to others who aren't near your location.

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 initiate contact with him/her so you can exchange information.

Profile Quality

Most members fill out their "About Me" box in a very detailed manner.
The profile information can be accessed even by non-paying members.
Each profile shows the user's age, location, profession, educational level, marital status, and an 'about me' description box.

You will notice that the photos on Adventist Singles are of good quality. This is because the site implements a strict profile photo standard. All photos will have to show clearly the user's face, or else they will be rejected. You can create your photo album, but you can only upload up to six photos.

Profiles on the site are very detailed since the registration process is unskippable. Information on the members' profession (work employment), educational level, and marital are available on the profiles. A member's online status is also reflected in there.

The Adventist Singles app is very easy to use. With its simple design, you will not have a hard time familiarizing yourself with its user interface.

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 the desktop version has. The app is a more suitable platform for you if you want a much more convenient dating experience. With the mobile app, you can take Adventist Singles anywhere you go, as long as there's WiFi. However, the desktop version displays bigger profile pictures, so photos are more clearly viewed via laptop or computer.

Real Life Review

"As much as possible, I wish to find love and have a life partner who shares the same faith as me. I have tried a lot of dating sites before, and I must say, it is extremely hard to find someone who is a religious Seventh Day Adventist member. Most of the sites I know do not feature religion on 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. It was fun being here so far. The people here 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 site is embodied in a combination of white and purple color, which attract attention when you visit any page.
