Currently there is only one web template available to customize the theme of your profile. This suggests that there maybe more templates in the pipeline.

Photo Profile Section

One photo upload is permitted during the registration process but once registered you can add more photos and organize them into an album.

At time of writing I could not upload many of my pictures and gave up after spending some time. This problem will likely to affect other users and being a good citizen, reported the problem to the webmaster of the dating site.

Browse & Search Feature

Browsing through the website was quick as all the menus were clearly categorized into website and profile menu options.

The search is evenly categorized into basic and advanced search. Basic search is done with options like who you are, whom you want to meet by age limit, country, distance, zip code.

You can save the basic search for future use. What I found good also is that you can save the result that you obtained through the search. These results can be seen in the “saved search” tab. You can run the saved search any time you want.

In Advanced search you can specify the lifestyle of the person including habits. Similar to the Basic search you can also save the result. Results of the search are also to my liking but while searching you cannot search profiles more that 99 miles which I found odd.

Messaging

Messaging section of the site I found to be very good. This dating website has most of the communication options available for an expected system such as email/IM/sending gifts/sending gestures.

You can set your IM to visible or invisible. This is a feature of a true IM chat application and it usage reminds me of the IM in facebook. All in all a very nice and complete messaging feature capable of competing with any other dating sites.

Other features

This site has features like blog/news, however other features like uploading videos/MP3  are not available.??I can see/hear the video/mp3 from other users and me??
I fond another feature that I liked which is the rating picture where I am able to rate a random selections of photos in my leisure time.

Member Base

Website appears to have a good member base with most of the users are from USA and Canada. Most of the members are active that helps me to filter out potential contacts fairly easily. This site has member base ranging from 18 to 50, where majority of members are in there 20’s.

Conclusion

This site has almost all the features expected of a complete free online dating site. If you overlook the unwanted Google and matrimonial advertisements, the look and feel of the site is very good. Search and browsing feature work as intended. Searching for users returns the correct set of results and you can also save the search criteria and the result sets.

Messaging features like the IM,  email communication and sending gestures are very good. Additional features that I was looking for from other dating sites such as video upload, photo upload, creating albums, MP3 upload are all in one accessible place. The final rating is one that reflects a good online dating site which is free for users.
