DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ilios, the first and only friendship and dating lifestyle app specifically developed for people seeking authentic relationships rooted in astrology and numerology, announced it has launched its matchmaker feature to allow the millennia-old process to happen digitally in time for Valentine’s Day when according to a survey, more than half of Americans are open to having a first date.
Unlike other dating apps where users have to pass their phone to a trusted friend or family member to sort through dozens of profiles, instead, with ilios, those same confidants can instead create a unique matchmaking profile on ilios and make recommendations for users on potential matches.
“With about 50% of American adults identifying as single, 70 million reading horoscopes daily, and singles spending 77 minutes a day on dating apps, there is a general post-pandemic reevaluating of what’s important in life and dating. With Ilios’ new matching profile feature, we are further harnessing millennia-old tradition and wisdom in using a trusted third party to help people find better matches and create deeper relationships,” said ilios Co-Founder and CEO Melanie Davidson.
According to the American Federation of Astrologers, 70 million Americans read their horoscopes daily. The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life has also reported that about 25 percent of Americans believed that the positions of the stars and the planets affect our daily lives.
“Millennials and Gen-Zers are overwhelmingly turning to astrology in all aspects of their life, especially in relationships,” said ilios Chief Influencer Officer and Co-founder Trevor Holmes. “While there are a host of options for dating apps, they are entirely superficial. ilios instead takes a fun, modern approach to numerous ancient practices and spiritual traditions to provide members with the best possible tools to find that special spark, easily, without swiping for hours on end.”
First introduced in Austin, Texas, earlier this year, the friendship and dating lifestyle app is now available for download free of charge nationwide by visiting the Apple App Store and Google Play. Once a critical mass has downloaded the app in a market, the app’s full functionality and features unlock, which gives ilios members unique access to:
- Overall compatibility match scores broken down by lifestyle, astrology and numerology.
- Easy functionality to view matches by name, age, location, Zodiac, religion, political, career, family and lifestyle.
- Access to ilios’ proprietary “Matchmaker” feature, which makes it easy for a member’s friends and/or family to engage and provide input through their own matchmaking account.
- Exclusive offers from local merchants to redeem on dates.
- First date suggestions, along with icebreakers and “did you knows,” for daters who have communicated but may not have taken the next step.
