Quick uDate Review
UDate is affiliate site of Kiss.com dating site. According to information provided on site in average more than 5,000 people join udate every day making it one of the fastest growing romance matchmaking and dating site on the net. We really don’t think that is the fastest growing dating company in our day but sometimes you can meet thousands of people online at uDate, mostly because their brand. As all dating sites uDate has own pluses and minuses explained in this uDate review.
uDate Profile Setup Review
Profile setup is one of the fastest in dating industry. To start browsing personal ads you need to fill out short form on the main page and that’s all you need to start dating at uDate. However to improve your chances to find someone you have to complete personal ad but it takes only 15 minutes to complete. It’s is not boring because you just need to reply to questions and select right answer from drop-down menu. uDate recommends to complete your udate profile as completely and honestly as possible because your answers will significantly affect the number of members who will want to contact you. It’s true because matching system works on match basis. If woman likes what you like it will be listed as your match. As more matches you will have as more your partner match rating will be.
What we did not like in uDate profile setup. Text size - it’s small and there are too much questions on one page. You always must find right line to reply to the question not to second one. The same we can say about text in drop-down menus. Also uDate send an email with password generated by system not yourself. Sometimes it isn’t an easy to remember the password. You can add up to 3 photos and it less than on major dating sites but photos approving process is faster than on other dating sites.
Site Navigation Review
Site navigation is normal but with some visible disadvantages. At the top of uDate pages there is a header with all navigation links and easily access any of them in one click. Here are the sections of uDate:
My Udate - it’s your homepage. Here you start dating at uDate. You can check new members personal ads, view members who have appeared in your match list and edit your profile.
My Match - the list of your matches are showing here and it is easy to find them all in one place.
Encounters - Here you can find personal ads you have browsed recently and profiles who viewed your profile. Near the photo you will see what action have you done with selected person.
Who is online - Clear as 1,2,3, Member who are online at this moment.
Photo Gallery - Something new here can be found. It’s not usual members photo gallery - here you will latest added photos by users matching your criterias.
Search - Poorest search we have ever seen. Available to search by username only.
Favourites - Section where bookmarked profiles could be found.
Mailbox - Your mailbox will contain a copy of all recent correspondence exchanged between yourself and other udate members.
What we did not like in uDate site navigation - The biggest problem it’s no normal search at site! Yes you customize search by updating your matching criterias but all you need to do is just to rely on uDate matching system which is not perfect. Sometimes it works great some times is not.
Free Members Zone review
What can uDate free members do? The only things to do are to create full personal profile, to optimize your matching criterias and bookmark liked profiles. You even can’t send winks or whispers without paying. Paid Pembers Zone review
Paid members can use all features at WebDate like write messages, send whispers and probably that’s all you can do being paid. Old-fashioned standart package for dating services users. In our days there are much more features to offer for the same price but uDate doesn’t have them.
Membership Cost and Payment Procedure Review
If you still interested in uDate paid membership here is a price list:
- 6 month - $74.94 in one payment ($12.49 per month)
- 3 month - $49.95 in one payment ($16.65 per month)
- 1 month - $24.95 (recurring billing)
On payment page udate has renewal notice which states that they will be your card until you cancel uDate subscription. But they don’t what subscriptions are recurring. We honestly saying decided to not spend our budget for uDate and can’t say what subscriptions are recurring but most probable it’s one month subscription. We think that one month membership is most effective here because according to our estimations you would not be longer than 2 month here and you will decide to leave this service after one month.

uDate Review Summary
uDate is old-fashioned dating service but it’s is popular among singles due its brand name and old relationship with Kiss.com. Site has big active members database but has lot of minuses which are explained in our uDate review. Quality of service could be better for the price they are asking for.
