Last updated: December 2018

Our Review

MeetMindful is a relatively new dating site that has now about 300,000 members. First launched in 2015, the site has opened ways of building a mindful community and bringing its members together for friendship and love.

You will get an idea of what to expect from the site from the name itself, that is to "Meet" "Mindful" people. The site caters to those with a higher consciousness, pursuing a healthier and more mindful kind of lifestyle.

There are a lot of ways to categorize a person's mindfulness and the site has sorted these out pretty well. It makes you choose the ways on how you live mindfully and lets you express how committed are you to this kind of lifestyle.

The website helps you connect with inspiring people every day. Plus, it provides thousands of mindful dating and relationship articles that can guide you on your journey.

This is what sets MeetMindful apart from other sites. But does the site live up to its claims? Will it help you find your mindful half?

Signing Up

You can register via Facebook
You have to verify your account to proceed
Registration process may take a while
Some profile information needs to be filled out while signing up
Personal information and photos can be synced from Facebook

There are two different signing up options for MeetMindful. You can opt to register via Facebook or you can choose to do the classic email and verification process. The process of signing up itself will only take at least five minutes to complete. But after you have successfully verified the email you used, you will be led to a series of pages with questions that you have to answer. You can skip this process if you want, but it will leave you with an empty profile.

In the first stages of the registration process, you will be asked to specify your sexual orientation as well as your sexual preferences. The site is open for all and it has no gender biases. The only requirement to proceed on creating your profile is to use a valid and a verified email address.

Making Contact

Search filters are available
Basic members can only message those who like them back
Location-based match recommendations
Distance range for matches is adjustable
You get a list of people you like

There is a chatroom

The site functions similarly as Tinder where you review a profile, decide if you like them or not, and wait until they like you back. Basic members are presented with 10 possible matches daily. They then have to decide who they like and who they want to pass on.

If you have a basic account, you will only be able to message people in your connections list. These people are the ones you like and liked you back. If you want to message someone who hasn't liked you back, you have to upgrade to a premium account. Premium members are able to send a message to anyone even though a connection has not yet been made.

The app's match recommendation is location-based. Because of that, the available search filter for basic members is only for the distance specification. There is an advanced search filter available for the site 's premium members where they can customize their preferences and choose their ideal soulmate.

Profile Quality

You can send someone a notification to complete their profile
Profile fields are mostly essay type questions
Allows you to freely express details about your mindful living
You can upload up to 6 photos

The profiles are very detailed
The profile information can be changed later
Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free

If you're planning to create an account for MeetMindful, you have to prepare yourself to write in words the things you are most passionate about. Completing your profile may take a while, since most of the fields that you have to answer are essay-type, and not the typical 'select what best describes you' sort of thing. Your profile page consists of things that you have written in your own words and are mostly about how you choose to live mindfully.

The information that you give is divided into three:

Account profile - this is the section where you put in all the basic information about yourself.
Surface - this is basically where you write what you're looking for, what your mantra is, and what your likes and dislikes are.
Depth - written in this section are the details on how you choose to live mindfully and how committed are you in this kind of lifestyle.

In MeetMindful, you don't judge a person through their pictures, but through their profiles instead. The site allocates a bigger space for the members' profile information, taking up more than half the page when you're looking for a match.

If you have found your match, and have decided not to use the app anymore, you can choose to delete your profile.

App

Free to download
App is available for Android and iOS users
Design is very similar to the desktop version
Website features are also available on the app
The app version is slow and buggy

The MeetMindful app is available to download on Google Play and on the Apple App Store for free. The app's interface is pretty similar to the desktop version but a little cramped-up. The feeling when using the app is not as light as when you are using the web version since the space is pretty limited that it makes the elements on the app look unorganized.

It's always a good thing for sites to have an app as long as it is functional and well made. But the MeetMindful app seems to have not made the cut. The app version is too buggy and glitchy that it's almost impossible to use. After a few minutes of using it, the app crashes or freezes.

This app has a good potential once all the bugs are fixed and it becomes fully functional.

Real Life Review

"I am tired of all the empty matches and shallow connections I get from the usual dating sites. I have always been a romantic and all my life I have been searching for a connection that runs deep. So when I learned about MeetMindful, I did not hesitate to give it a shot. I love how the site focuses on the information that people have written on their profiles, rather than their profile pictures. On the site, people are free to express about what they're most passionate about. It is where I met people with an awakened mind, those who live positively and who dedicate time for self-development, just like me. I have found not only the woman of my dreams but also friends who have inspired me to become a better person." -Tristan, 24

Design and Usability

MeetMindful is one of the recently developed dating sites in this generation. So, it is not a surprise that it has a modern user interface that can easily connect with millennials. The site uses soft earthy tones that give off a feeling of calmness and peace. These colors capture the essence of mindful living quite well and would appeal to the site's target audience.

Its web design is minimalist but at the same time not boring. It has used its elements and spaces well that everything looks seamless when browsing through the site.

The pages are well-organized and easy to navigate. Most pages and actions on this site are represented by icons that are easy to recognize and understand. Even though MeetMindful only has basic features and does not have a lot of gimmicks, the site may still make you want to stay.
