Our Solution
Inorder to solve the objectives for the mobile application, our team decided to built it on native iOS and Android. The primary objective was to provide a user friendly experience to the users. For that the application must be very quick in loading and it must be very smooth. So if we build the application smooth and quick then users will hold on to the app more.
Eye Catching User Interface:
User Interface is the most important thing for this application to catch the user's attention. So we want something to be unique in the design perspective. For that we designed the application in a way the user can be guided so we introduced an assistant that will help the user to complete the registration process encouraging them to add their photos.
UI Library Developed:
Developing an assistant will help the user to guide through the app but this was not enough so we developed our own library to add the colors to the User Interface and that really helped us to build an eye catching user interface. We also published the library to the public and the library also received warm response from the developer all around the world. The library name is GradientAnimator which brings the charm to our application.
Secure private chat system:
But building a solid UI is not sufficient since it’s a dating application chat functionality is something which cannot be avoided. So we decided to build a chat sdk from scratch that we developed for the application which makes the chat so quick and responsive. The chat system is highly secure and it offers all the latest features a chat app can do like send messages, send photos,videos, stickers, online and offline status with the last seen time, read receipt etc.
To build a matching algorithm:
For every dating application it’s quality is determined by the match or partner suggestions they propose to the user. So the matching algorithm is the key element to build this application. We developed a Machine Learning Algorithm(python) which is built on the basis of the user’s likes and interests and we provide the best match based on these interests of the user from our user database. The ML Algorithm is based on the age group , distance, gender user can customize these with filter and find their appropriate partner if the user like another user they can swipe to right to add them to the like list or they can swipe left to reject and these rejected profile will never show up also provided ability to undo an action like accidentally swiped left or right. Once a user likes another user the other user should also like that user only then they are matched up. Once they match up the app restricts users to match up with other users so they can chat with their new partner and build a relationship on our application.Using the ML models we trained for dating applications it collects the answers and analyze the user character and also his/her dating preference based on the ML output the AI will give compatibility rating out of 100, that helps the user to find a perfect soulmate.
Biometric authentication for entire application:
We are concerned for our user’s privacy so we provide a biometric authentication facility for the user to use the app. The user biometric authentication is required to access the application.
Unique Breakup mechanism:
We build this application for the people who take relationships very seriously so we restrict users to match with multiple persons at a time. Once a user matches up they cannot match with another user until they break up with their partner the user can initiate the breakup and it will alert the partner. The break up will take effect after 48 hours so in the meantime the couple can settle out their differences using our private chat and the user who initiated the break up feels not to break up now they can cancel the break and they can continue as partners. But if the user didn’t cancel the break up within 48 hours it is considered as the break up is done and both the user can look up for a new match based on our algorithm and move on.
Authentication required to break up with partner:
As we said earlier we made the application with utmost care that no margin of error should affect any relationship. So we provide a biometric authentication to initiate the breakup so no accidental error should occur.
Building a revenue to run the application:
The application we built will be free to all users but at the same time we need to find a way to collect the revenue so we introduced a reward system called Cupid Coins. The features we offer like Assistant,Biometric Authentication, Theme Selector etc are unlocked with a certain number of cupid coins which is earned by watching ads.
