Last updated: October 2018

Our Review

IndonesianCupid.com is one of the many dating sites that Cupid Media Party Ltd. is running. Indonesian Cupid, like many of the Cupid sites, is very simple and functional. From the site's name itself, you will be able to grasp a basic understanding of what it's going to be.

Indonesian Cupid is famous for gathering Indonesian singles from all over the world. But don't let it deceive you into thinking that it's exclusive for Indonesians only. In fact, there are a lot of western single members who are seeking to find their Asian match on this site. Most of its members are looking for something serious, but there are also some who just wants to have fun or find someone who can keep them company for a while.

There is no reason to not be intrigued by the various people you can meet on this site, especially if you are a Westerner. You may encounter a lot of cultural differences and a slight language barrier with someone you find in this site. But hey, those might be the perfect elements that can make your dating experience extra fun!

Signing Up

You can log in using Facebook
Signing up is free
Manual registration is quick and simple
Only requires a few basic information upon signing up
No lengthy questionnaires or quizzes to answer before you can set up your account

Signing up in Indonesian Cupid does not take too much time and effort. Upon signing up, you will be presented with two options on how you would like to register or create an account. You can choose to sign up by filling out fields that will ask you of your first name, age, gender, name, and country. You also have to provide a valid email address before you can continue creating your account.

A much easier way of signing up is by linking your Facebook account to the site. With just one click, you will have your profile ready in no time. The site will automatically sync your personal data from Facebook to your basic profile information in Indonesian Cupid. This process will also make your Facebook profile picture the default photo for your profile, but you can change it anytime you want. Facebook signups are as safe as the email sign up since the site will not post anything on your Facebook account.

Making Contact

Messaging is not free for all
Standard Members can only see messages from and send messages to premium members.
Many search filters available even for standard members
"Show Interest" feature is available for free
Messaging does not support audio or video files

The site offers various ways to filter and search for match recommendations. Standard members can choose to filter their match list based on basic information like gender, age, location, photo, and last activity while premium members can enjoy a more advanced searching technology that can sort based on ethnicity, distance, popularity and etc.

The messaging method in Indonesian Cupid seems rather outdated. It does not support any video or audio formats. Messaging is not free for anyone too. If your account is not upgraded to premium, you will have a hard time contacting other standard members. Messaging will only come free for you if you are to have a conversation with a paying member.

Keeping in contact with your matches can be very pricey but at least you get to "Show Interest" for free.

Profile Quality

Profile verification requires a valid ID or a Government ID
Little to no fake accounts due to profile security checks

The profiles are quite detailed
The profile information can be changed later
Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free

The profile section is very detailed and complete with everything you have to know about someone. From the basic information to hobbies, personalities, and likes and dislikes, the profile information has it all.

The profile features are one of the few things a standard member can really enjoy. Almost everything with regards to the profile section on this site is free. You can view another member's profile page and pictures, edit and update your own profile anytime, and upload your photos anytime. All of those perks are for free! So you can start vamping up your profile already.

Don't forget to make sure you follow all the site's terms and regulations. Failure to do so may lead to permanent termination of your account. Indonesian Cupid follows a lot of security measures to ensure the safety of their members.

App

Basic app interface
App layout is similar to the webpage
Free to download
Available on GooglePlay
Not available for iOS and Windows phone

Good news! Indonesian Cupid has a mobile app available on GooglePlay. Like the web design, the app is also straightforward and easy to use. Once you log in to your account using the app, you will be directed to your match suggestions. This will also serve as your app homepage.

The app also gives more emphasis on the photos of the members. If you see someone you find interesting while browsing through your match list, you can show your interest by tapping the heart-shaped icon at the bottom of her photo. If you want to learn more about him/her, tap on his/her names. This will take you to the profile page of the member.

If you are an iOS user, don't worry. Though it may not be available in the App Store just yet, the website has a good mobile adaptive feature too. So you can still find your match even when you're on the go.

Real Life Review

"I have used this site while I was assigned to work in Indonesia for almost 2 years. I was pretty surprised with the amount of affection these women have for foreigners like me (I assure you I am no Brad Pitt but they found me very attractive).

I personally like the simplicity of the site. It doesn't have much to offer but it does its job of keeping you connected with someone (If you pay! lol). I have met a lot of wonderful and amazing women in this site. I have even kept in touch with a few of them up. So every time I go back for a vacation, I already have a few friends I can hang out with. I just wish they give a little more something for their standard users. It is a good app, don't get me wrong. However, it may cost you some money before you can totally enjoy the entirety of this site." - Producer 38

Design and Usability

The design of Indonesian Cupid is very similar to other dating sites that Cupid Media owns. Its web layout is basic, clean, and organised, which can be a good thing and a bad thing, both at the same time.

The common and plain design may be easy to the eyes but it tends to put the younger market off. Because it's too basic, it almost looks like a website from the early 2000s. It may be functional and user-friendly but it is not that appealing.

But since it is a dating site that focuses on helping people find their match, the design has pulled off that basic and straightforward interface. In this site, you can enjoy browsing through your match list with no unnecessary ads or overwhelming graphics.
