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.

Ratings and reviews

The chat option in the app is wierd. Whenever the matched person sends a message we only get a notification. When we open the app to see the message it womt be there, infact the chat does not save any of the matched persons chat instead we can only see our side of the conversation. It would be nice if this could be fixed. Otherwise this is a very good app

If you’re looking for a real connection, stay far away from this app. It runs entirely on cheap FOMO tricks. You get constant “someone liked you” notifications, but their profile is blurred & of course, you have to pay to see it. And no, they won’t ever show up in your discovery feed either. It’s clearly designed to hide matches just to push you into buying premium. Honestly, it feels less like a dating app and more like a desperate cash grab. Save your time and money.

I signed up for a paid membership, but the app’s performance has been very disappointing. It is extremely slow, and I often feel that my messages are not being delivered, despite my paid subscription being active. The app frequently sends notifications, but when I open it, there are no likes, messages, or responses displayed. Only occasionally do my messages seem to go through. Additionally, similar to other platforms, scammers and marketing accounts appear to be quite active here as wel
