It seems like there are a ton of niche dating apps coming out lately. Another example is Collide, a Christian dating app www.collideapps.com Full disclosure: I built that app with 2 friends. Do you think these niche apps will be successful? If yes/no, why? Curious to hear everyone's thoughts on this topic.
Attacking a niche instead of a broad category usually is a better idea. In the case of dating apps, if your niche is big enough (and there are a lot of christians out there with their iPhones), you'll probably succeed. And now when you have a working codebase, being you I would start to think to "reskin" your app for other niches (single moms, 50+ only, only beautiful etc.). GL!
Think its personally a huge shame theres apps for christians to date christians. I'm not religious but i havent got a problem dating anyone regardless of their religion. Does it matter what religion people are or what colour etc ? I have friends married to girls who are very highly religious yet their husbands are athiests. In the year 2015 surely people should date anyone they want regardless of colour/religion or anything else So much for God saying to love everyone etc !
