Mirchi - South Asian Dating 17+

I just started using this app for the first time and it’s incredible. Although we only get limited likes and we have to pay if you want more likes. I didn’t wanna waste my money because I get my likes recharged after a few hours. I also love this app because it actually shows me who liked my profile so I can like them back and start a convo. It doesn’t hide the person’s profile who liked me, which is amazing.

The updated app interface looks very childish and game like. It’s not at all leading towards connections more any type of relationship (whatever your preference maybe in terms of what you’re looking for).

Also the app requires a phone number before you can send a ‘like.’ Even after providing a phone number the app wouldn’t let you send likes. I do not understand the necessity to provide a phone number in the first place. That info is totally unnecessary to use the app. I tried providing a google phone number that I use out of sorry of data leaks and the app still wouldn’t let me finish the process of verification. Again providing a phone number is totally unnecessary let alone providing an actual carrier phone number. If this is not fixed, I’d advise to everyone who cares about privacy that this is just another way of collecting the personal information, totally not required to be provided, and urge people to delete their accounts which hopefully can lead to app owners/creators to changing their ways of unnecessary data collection. I will be deleting my account soon.

So at first I wanted to wait and see if the emails I sent to the developers would be helpful regarding my experience on this app before I wrote a review. Now I have realized that was simply pointless. The app clearly does not connect anyone with anybody. They have pictures of people but I am certain that nobody communicates with each other at all. Other Indian dating apps are extremely better in regards to user experience. This app has a plethora of attractive photos but trust me nobody is using it to communicate with one another. It is trying to be like an Indian version of Tinder but the developers of this app lack the knowledge to provide a fluid interface. I wouldn’t recommend paying for an upgraded experience on this app because is not worth it and I honestly believe the creators are just fishing for photos.
