Jaumo was founded in 2011 in Southern Germany by Jens Kammerer and Benjamin Roth. They chose the name "Jaumo" because it meant "sunrise" in Aramaic - an allusion perhaps, to the app's promise of a new start or beginning for its members. Today, Jaumo has around 30 million members, with majority of its users coming from Germany, US and Brazil.
Jaumo's registration process is extremely easy, especially if you opt to signup via Facebook. The app takes all the information it needs, plus a few photos from your Facebook account to create your Jaumo profile easily. If you choose to signup via email, you just need to input your gender, birthday, and then allow the app to access your phone's location. After that, you can start using the app as you please.
Jaumo employs the same suggested match format that other dating apps like Tinder and Happn use. Called Zapping, the app asks you to swipe right if you like someone, and left if you're not interested. Conversely, you can tap on the check mark or the X mark to make your choice. If someone you're interested in is also interested in you, then a match is made. You can start conversing with each other after that at no extra cost.
If you want to show someone that you're really interested in them, you can superlike their profile. However, free users are limited to a single superlike, and after that you need a VIP subscription to superlike more profiles.
Free users can view other users' profiles and pictures without any limitations. Jaumo's profiles are more informative compared to a lot of apps - aside from basic info like your age, occupation and general location, you can also divulge your height, religion, and smoking/drinking preference. Profile information is public, so if you don't want to reveal something, you can always choose the "ask me" option instead.
Jaumo has special features that make interaction and socialization more enjoyable, and give you more opportunities to find your perfect match.
Liked List
Unlike other apps where you need a premium membership to see who liked you profile, Jaumo offers the feature free of charge. See a list of people who already swiped right on your profile, so you can swipe right on those you're interested in, resulting in an instant match.
Live Video
Users can stream videos of themselves doing anything under the sun, as long as it's not indecent or offensive. It's a great way for users to increase their popularity as other users can watch and like their videos.
"I use apps like Tinder and Happn, so when someone suggested Jaumo, I didn't see any harm in trying it as well. So far it's been a blast - most of the people I talk to are actual people and I don't really have to pay for anything to chat to them. The ads do kinda get annoying sometimes, but at least you can try the premium service out for a week if you don't want to see the ads. In the end, I decided to stay as a free member. Ads are still annoying, but at least I can experience the site to the fullest without paying a single cent!"

Jaumo offers its new users a 7-day Premium account free trial. If you wish to continue enjoying the benefits for longer periods, you should consider purchasing any of the membership plan available. Your subscription is automatically extended as long as you do not terminate your current subscription within 24 hours before it expires.
Jaumo serves as another platform to connect and meet people online. It has a hassle-free registration process, familiar usability, and you can download it for free. No wonder it has 30 million users globally. The app is comparable to that of Tinder, which is known for its swiping left or right function. Such can also be done in Jaumo. Likewise, the app enables you to go livestream and let the whole community watch you. Through this, you get to be recognized by many people, attracting more potential matches.
However, talking about downsides, Jaumo's problem is probably attributable to its lax security. Since signing up is an easy process for anyone, it makes the site prone to users who have bad motives. Well, we can't really blame the app as it has millions of users worldwide. It's probably a big challenge for the app's moderators to keep the community from wrongdoers. As with any other dating app, the best thing to do is still be cautious of who you connect with if you are a member. After all, it's basic human instinct to always look after our own security.
Overall, Jaumo seems to be a nice place to start your online dating experience. Yet, if you are looking for a less-crowded but full-of-features kind of dating venue, you might want to check other dating sites. Visit our Casual Dating category and widen your set of choices!
