About this app

Arike is India's first vernacular dating app that is designed to bring Malayalis residing in and outside India closer for one common reason — finding long-lasting relationships. The word 'arike' translates to 'close-by' in Malayalam. So, the app is designed to offer high-intent dating experience that is culturally aligned with Malayali needs. Arike's unique approach to appreciating sensitivities has made it one of the fastest-growing vernacular dating apps in the country.


Features:
Setting Cultural Preferences: Arike appreciates the Malayali cultural nuances and choices that define Malayali ways of living. We have the preference features on the app that is tailor-made to make sure you find what you're looking for in a person. And to help you in breaking the ice, we host a gamut of Keralan pop culture references that you can use in your profile answers — from food to TV shows and cinema.

Send 'Notes': Arike 'Notes' serves as the best kind of conversation starter which lets users express their interest in someone you really like, by writing to them directly. For all we know, you are just an effort away from the right match.

Arike 'Premium': Arike 'Premium' is an in-app paid feature through which you can send more requests and notes, see who sent you requests and unlock more preferences.

Arike 'Select': Arike 'Select' is our latest paid feature with everything you need to find your perfect match quickly. Get all the goodness of 'Premium', plus access profiles in the 'Select' tab with more preferences and send unlimited Notes. If you are looking to meet someone who finds the backwaters of Kerala equally romantic as you do, Arike is absolutely the dating app you should be on.

Ratings and reviews

This is just another typical money-making dating app that doesn't deliver much value. As a man, you'll see plenty of women's profiles and the filters are quite good, but getting genuine matches is extremely difficult. Even when you do match, responses are often delayed or inconsistent, making the overall experience frustrating. The app constantly pushes you to buy Premium, but in my experience it didn't make any meaningful difference. Overall, it felt like a waste of both time and money.

I got matches several times. That's something good but the chat section sucks. Very poorly developed. Need to do a lot of work on it. I got unmatched more than twice only because I insisted them to talk on WhatsApp. Most of the girls don't like it. Message type cheydu send cheyumbol error show cheyum and send cheyda messagum kitillya.

The worst dating app experience I’ve ever had. The matching algorithm is extremely disappointing. It feels like you get plenty of matches when your subscription is about to expire or has already ended. But once you actually subscribe, your profile suddenly seems to become invisible.I I obviously can’t say for certain how the algorithm works behind the scenes, but based on my experience, the difference before and after subscribing is extremely frustrating. Honestly, I regret paying for the sub.

Enjoy the new version.
