Usage Guide

Fledge is a dating app that shows you who you'd actually get along with, before you spend months finding out.

First, you take three short tests based on widely studied approaches to personality and relationships: Attachment Style, Big Five and Personality Type. Your results show what you need in a partner to feel at ease day to day, and what usually causes friction for you, the kind of things couples tend to find out only months in.

Then, on any profile, you see how the two of you might get along: what will come easily and where you might clash. So you can see it early and talk about it, instead of running into it later.

It can't tell you if there'll be a spark. That part is still up to you.

Most dating apps show you how someone looks. Fledge shows you how you'd get along.

On other apps, you swipe on photos and find out what the person is really like after a few dates, or a few months. On Fledge, people are matched based on well-studied compatibility factors and get to know each person's unique story, not just their photos. You see upfront whether you need the same amount of closeness, how each of you deals with stress and how you handle disagreements. So you spend less time swiping and guessing, and more time on people who fit you.

And when you're ready to meet, Fledge Events let you meet compatible people in person, not just in a chat.

We welcome all users over 18 years old. You can download Fledge on the day of your majority - we consider this an excellent gift.
Fledge works on iOS and Android devices and supports iOS 16.0 and Android 11.0 and above.

Registration and Account

The application's audience must consist of real people. If your photo does not pass moderation, please ensure that it complies with all the listed rules: Publish only your real photos. The photo should show your face clearly. While we understand that people enjoy sharing pictures with friends, according to Fledge's rules, a profile photo should not include images of third parties. You can upload photos with your friends after setting your first profile picture. Don't hide your appearance. Additional filters, heavy retouching, watermarks (well, who knows) - that's not for us. We are confident that true love is not about perfect appearance. And what you consider a flaw may attract another person. It is also better not to use fonts and inscriptions that cover your face, clothing items, or accessories that will interfere with seeing you - for example, oversized sunglasses, masks, balaclavas, etc. Do not post nude shots. We will not be able to publish them on Fledge for several reasons, including legal ones. It's better to leave them for personal correspondence. We will also have to remove visual elements depicting sex, as well as dick pics. Respect other community members. We will not be able to approve photographs that contain obscene language, offensive gestures, scenes of violence, prohibited substances, drugs, and weapons. And also photographs with calls for violence or persecution of people on the grounds of religious preferences, or sexual orientation. Note that if you post photos against the background of posters, graffiti, and banners with such appeals, they will also not pass moderation. Observe the law. Photos should not encourage behavior that violates the legislation of any country - for example, offering sexual services, buying and selling firearms, or illegal drugs. Photo does not pass moderation? If your photo does not pass moderation, but it still meets the requirements, please write to us at support@fledge.love. We have explained the main rules, but there are a few minor ones.
Your compatibility scores and couple reports are built on your tests, so the more you fill in, the more you'll learn about each match. To get to 100%, just answer all the questions in "Profile Editing" and finish every test.
To do this, navigate to your profile and click on the "Settings" section in the upper right corner. From there, go to the "Account" section and choose the data you wish to correct. Note that the data can only be edited once!
Go to your profile, open the "Settings" section in the top right corner, and find the "Login Methods" section. Select the appropriate authentication method. You need to connect at least one method to log in to the application.
Open your profile and click on the "Settings" button in the top right corner. In the "Notifications" section, you can select which notifications from Fledge you want to receive.

We hope you're asking because you've found your person. If so, you don't have to leave: Fledge works for couples too. You can take tests together, or check how you fit with friends and family.

If you just need a break from dating, you can hide your profile instead. No one will see you in the feed, but you'll keep your test results, matches and chats, and can come back anytime.

To delete your profile for good, go to Settings → Delete Account. We'd appreciate it if you told us why, it helps us make Fledge better. Keep in mind that this deletes all your data, test results, matches and chats, and they can't be restored.

Send an email to our team at support@fledge.love.
Open the application and go to the "Settings" section in the profile. Your ID is located at the bottom of the screen.

Fledge Tests

Fledge matches partners based on compatibility, and for this, we need to know the results of your tests. They show your worldview and how you behave in different situations. Then the algorithms process this information and select suitable partners for you. We believe this approach will help couples better understand each other and avoid potential problems.
Your individual results are private. Your matches see only the description of your pair, not your answers or personal scores. The Fledge team takes a careful approach to safeguarding the data of the app's users. You can read about the rules for processing and storing personal data here.

Fledge uses three short tests built on well-studied approaches to personality and relationships. Each one looks at a different side of you:

Personality Type shows how you see the world and make decisions. It gives you a simple way to talk about your differences, like who needs to talk things through and who needs some time alone first.

Big Five shows how you live day to day: how open you are to new things, how organized, outgoing, easygoing and emotional you are. It's where we see what will come easily for the two of you and where you'll need to find common ground.

Attachment Style, based on John Bowlby's attachment theory, shows what happens to you when you get close to someone: how much closeness you need and how you react when you feel distant. It fine-tunes your compatibility with each person.

Compatibility isn't just about being alike. Sometimes people who are different fit better than people who are similar. Your results and couple reports are written by psychologists, and our research continues with a scientist at the University of Notre Dame.

The result will appear on the screen immediately after completing the test. If you want to read the information about yourself again, go to your profile and open the "Fledge Tests" section. By clicking on a specific test, you will see a description of your results.
Unfortunately, we don't have that feature yet. If you want to correct your results, write to our support service at support@fledge.love. In the email, indicate your account ID and which test you would like to retake.

Yes. Maybe it's someone you've just started seeing, a partner you've been with for years, a close friend or your mom. Understanding how you work together helps in every relationship, not just romantic ones.

You'll see what comes easily between you, where you tend to clash and why. Often it explains things you've both felt but never put into words.

To check, send them your invite link. You'll find it on your profile page. Once they take the tests, you'll both see what your connection could look like.

Fledge psychologists are constantly conducting research and developing new tests. Follow our social media, that's where we publish all the updates and announcements.

Dating and communication

Everything starts with a match - when you both like each other. Look for partners in the feed, and in the requests, and also invite acquaintances using the "Invite" function. After that, you will see a chat in the "Chats" menu, where you can start a conversation.
Don't worry. With Fledge Premium, you can use the rewind feature to bring their profile back with just one tap. If you're using the free version, there's a high chance you might come across the same person again in your feed. Don't swipe too quickly to avoid accidentally giving another dislike.
If you dislike someone in your feed, the user disappears from it for 30 days. But you can end up in their feed if you match their set filters. Then the date may like you and appear in your requests. Of course, you can also dislike them there.
No. But you can always see who has liked you with Fledge Premium!
You can view the list of people who like you using Fledge Premium in the "Likes" section. In the free version, the profiles will be blurred.
Open the feed and look in the upper left corner. Click the "Filter" button and select the parameters to search for the right partners.
Yes. We have a "Travel Mode" feature that places your profile in the feed of your chosen city. Your feed also changes to match the new location. You can find "Travel Mode" in the "Profile" tab and among the feed filters. The feature works as a one-time purchase. Only you can activate and deactivate "Travel Mode".
Yes, in Fledge, you can delete messages in your conversation with a user, even if the partner has already read them. However, please note that you can only delete your messages. To do this, long-press the desired message and select the "Delete message" button.
If you want to unmatch, open the "Chats" section and swipe a specific chat to the right. Alternatively, you can remove a user in the "New Matches" section. To do this, tap "All" in the top right corner and swipe the chat. Warning: Fledge can return a user to the recommendations feed. To avoid encountering an anti-soulmate in the app again, you need to block them. This will delete all chat history with the user, and we will not be able to restore it.
To restrict access for your anti-soulmate to your profile, click on the hand-shaped button in their profile. Then select "Block". Did they perhaps insult you? We don't allow that here!
First, recall your conversation and think: do you really need to retrieve the user from the blocked list? If you still decide to unblock them, go to the "Settings" section in your profile. Then select the "Blocked list" section and remove the person from there. Removing the block will not return your match and chat history.
You can report a user if they are behaving rudely or if the content of their profile seems offensive to you. Click on the palm icon in the user's profile, select "Report", and specify the reason for the complaint. We will review your application!
To see all the users, you need to purchase Premium. Also, dates automatically like you if they send an invitation to take our tests. Their profiles will be unlocked after you learn your results.
Yes, you can catch a match if you just swipe through users in the feed. However, if you dislike a partner, they will simply disappear from the "Likes" section.
