About this app

As a single parent, you’ve tried the other dating apps, but when you mention your kids or that you can’t drop everything to go out on a date with your match, you’re no longer interesting.

Sound familiar? Not anymore!

Change With Stir!
As seen on CNN, CNBC, and INSIDER, Stir is an app dedicated to giving single parents an online dating experience where they can
- be celebrated,
- have a fulfilling life beyond navigating parenthood,
- and just be themselves!

With Stir, you may match, chat and date with other single parents. Non-parents who are open to dating parents and meeting new people are also welcome!

Let's talk the free stuff first.

Free mutual likes? Of course! On Stir, it is free to send likes and even to chat with everyone who has a mutual attraction with you. Take advantage of this free communication option once you find a match you like, especially when you first explore the app. Don't hesitate to start chatting right away!

What About Premium Membership?
Then take the next step and become a paying member. This lets you initiate conversations with anyone and you can get noticed faster by sending super likes.

You stand out more which boosts your views or if you are looking for something more low key, you can switch to private mode and only be noticed by people you liked. Find your partner right way!

On Stir, you don’t have to apologize for having a busy schedule. Life can be less complicated because Stir offers “Stir Time”, a scheduler option that lets you quickly find out if you and someone you like have similar schedules.

How To Stay Safe?
Single parents dating often have one shared major concern: safety. With that in mind, Stir has partnered with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to provide members with tips specific to single dating moms and dads.

We advise you on how to set up boundaries early on, keep the spotlight on yourself, and what red flags to look out for when embarking on your new adventure.

As far as keeping your experience on the dating app safe, Stir has an entire care team dedicated to monitoring photos and profiles and any reported members are reviewed by real humans.

Speaking of real humans, Stir has a team focused on detecting and deleting fake accounts. This helps prevent spam and saves you from wasting time. Your account is also protected through phone number verification to makes sure your personal information is safe.

When it comes to non-humans, our unique algorithm has got your back, presenting you with new match recommendations we think you'll love as we learn what you like and don't like after you answer questions on personality and values.

With so much information on each profile, Stir makes it easy for you to start a conversation and meet up with local single moms and dads.

Stir is where solo parents can meet online, chat and rediscover the fun in dating. It’s where having kids is never a deal-breaker.

Here you can find your “every other weekend” partner or the person with whom you want to blend families. Download Stir now!

Ratings and reviews

Not very good. It seems like you have to pay for every little thing you do in the app. It's nice that there are multiple ways to connect with people. But it's annoying that the heights show up in cm and distances in km. Which means I have to do math every time I look at a new profile. Also, messages frequently seem to double and triple send by mistake. Which can be annoying for both you and the people you are trying to connect with. I'll be cancelling for now.

This site is terrible. You pay for a subscription, then you have to pay more monthly just so people can respond to your messages. That feature should be included with your subscription. Also, if you like someone, it gives you the option to start a conversation. Problem is, the message goes directly to yourself if the other person doesn't have a way to respond (meaning paying for a subscription) I feel like an idiot that I paid for a subscription to message myself. Save yourself the time & money

The app is a bit confusing at first. I'm not sure what the difference is regarding the house button profiles and the Highlights profiles. I'm finding the first provides better matches so far. But overall, I like the more detailed profile info, especially the availability calendar! Great addition.
