    Zoosk Review

    User Rating 3.5 / 5
    Zoosk logowww.zoosk.com

    After talking to my bestie about my latest dating disaster, she suggested I check out one of the dating OGs, Zoosk. With over 35 million members across 80 countries, I would say the Zoosk dating site is pretty legit. It's also available in 25 different languages!

    Zoosk was created in 2007 and was one of the first dating sites, so it has over 16 years of experience in the dating world. Zoosk uses a behavioral matchmaking algorithm to determine your potential matches based on who you like and who you send messages/winks to.

    The Zoosk sign up process has 12 steps so it's a little lengthy, but not too bad. The main feed is clean and not overly busy, and profile pics are large and clear. There's a free version with decent exploring capabilities, and you can earn credits on the site for various activities.

    Zoosk also has some standout features: SmartPicks uses algo technology to suggest matches, Carousel lets you swipe through pics, Boost gets your profile featured for 100 coins, Super Send lets you message a group at once, and Zoosk Live adds a gamified streaming element.

    As one of the OGs of dating sites, Zoosk definitely stands its ground. I liked that you can connect with people from all over the world. All in all, I would definitely give Zoosk a shot at love.
