Dating is not easy. The whole realm has changed from wanting to find the right person to finding the right person to hang with. For many, it still is a search for a life partner. For others, it’s a search to find someone to hook up with, without any attachments and expectations – unless you set them. While the apps in this space are plenty, few provide the privacy and control people seek. fwbdr is one of those apps.

fwbdr keeps things easy to use and discrete. You are able to get on, create a profile and easily check out others in the app to see if you can find someone who may provide a nice evening out or companionship for however long you wish. It’s all based on how you define your profile and what expectations you set.  It makes it easy to find a casual encounter but under some certain stipulations. Remember, this app is for casual no strings attached dating.

To keep you protected, the app works hard to be scam-free and safe to use. The objective is to keep the app protected from outside hackers, so individual information is secure and actions you take in the app are secure as well. The app maintains this security using a robust artificial intelligence protocol and a strong support team that works hard to evaluate profiles, ensuring hook ups are legitimate. The last thing users need are people hacking into the system, creating fake profiles and luring people unknowingly into the wrong kind of situation.

The existence of fwbdr fills a void that was created when several of these types of social connection apps and media were shut down, such as Craigslist personals. However, the world can do without such venues for connecting. fwbdr is far safer and more reliable.

Use of the app is straightforward and simple. Create your profile with whatever information you wish to share, as much or as little. Then, start searching for others in the app. Once you find someone you want to open up communications with, you swipe to allow that access. After that, you can message each other and send photos to each other. Something special to note is that photos will be deleted from the app after 24 hours, which keeps the privacy factor high.

The app also allows users to report any profiles or photos that seem out of compliance, helping to keep the community clear of scammers and members who are not following the rules.

One thing I think the app could improve upon is the overall look. This is very minor, but I think a darker background would make it easier to view the photos.

Other than that, fwbdr is a neat app for finding a friend with benefits and not worry about attachments or lingering relations. It’s there for users to find companionship in the moment without expectations.
