Making Contact

"Cupid Tags" are used to optimize the matchmaking process
"Instant Messenger" has live audio and video functions
You can see online members in real time
You can send interests and likes to other members
Limited usability for members on free account

There is a chatroom

Brazil Cupid offers a lot of exciting features when it comes to contacting other members. However, if you are on a free account, most of these features are limited or inaccessible to you. This way, the site ensures that the experience is unique to paying members.

One of those features is the "Instant Messenger" that has live video and audio functions. You can send messages but if the person you are sending messages to isn't a paid member, he or she won't be able to read your messages. Yes, one of you must be in Gold or Premium membership to start a conversation. Otherwise, two free accounts won't be able to talk to each other. We have also noticed that the majority of the female members are on free accounts.

"Cupid Tags" is one of the features unique to Brazil Cupid and other Cupid Media sites. "Cupid Tags" are words you can add on your profile. Once these words are searched, your profile immediately pops up. This further optimizes the matchmaking features of this site.

If these special features intrigue you and they don't appear to be that expensive for your means, then you can go ahead and invest. Compared to other websites, Brazil Cupid offers one of the most useful premium packages.

Profile Quality

Verified members have a green check on their profile photos
Photos are reviewed by the admin team first before being displayed
A complete profile with a clear photo can increase your chances of finding your match by 40%
There are a lot of empty profiles
Profiles can be translated into your own language

The profiles are not very detailed
The profile information can be changed later
Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free

Upon creating your profile, updating your profile information is a must. Your initial matches are based loosely on just your gender and age. To refine your matches and only view people who have passed your filters, you must set your match criteria.

The profile section in Brazil Cupid is quite extensive. Although the site does not really prompt its members to complete their profiles (which can also work as a huge drawback), we suggest completing it nonetheless. Not only will it increase your authenticity but filling out information can make it easier for your match to find you and vice versa. Upload a clear image of yourself and personalize your profile by adding a description to your "bio box."

App

Available on Android and iOS
Free to download on Google Play and App Store
User-friendly and convenient for on-the-go users
Checking notifications, activities, and profiles is made easier with the app
Design is outdated and bland

The mobile app is a convenient supplement for serious daters. Rather than being on your computer all day, you can take Brazil Cupid wherever you go with its mobile app. The mobile app is available on both Android and iOs. It can also be downloaded for free. Its design is a bit underwhelming and can definitely use refurbishing. Other than that, the user experience is quite amazing. You can update your profile, upload photos, and chat with other members on here.

Real Life Review

"I tried this app for kicks and before you know it, I met Michelle. Michelle lives in Salvador while I live in North Carolina. There's no way our paths would have met if it weren't for Brazil Cupid. Nowadays, I just can't get through a day without messaging her. I don't know where our relationship's going yet but I am definitely enjoying what we have now." - Mark, 32

Design and Usability

The overall design and aesthetic of Brazil Cupid follows that of a traditional Cupid Media site. The clickable buttons are neatly arranged to make the user experience much more convenient and intuitive. If you are coming from another Cupid Media site, then you wouldn't have a hard time relearning this site's user interface at all. However, the look of both Brazil Cupid's website and mobile app can do with a slight upgrade and refurbishing. What we mean by that is, the design is nothing new and fresh. In fact, it is quite outdated. Brazil Cupid lags sorely behind its flashier and newer competitors. What it has going for itself, however, is its familiarity and the ease-of-use it provides for its members.

Editors Conclusion

This site has quite a lot of special features to make sure that your premium experience is one of a kind and well worth the investment.

All in all, it is a good, established site with a convenient mobile app to go. To see what all the fuss is about, you can certainly sign up--it is completely free!
