Koko Review April 2024

Signing up for an account on Koko is quick and easy. As the dating app is for mobile use, you could fast-track your registration by choosing to sign up via your Facebook or Google account. By doing so, the app automatically pulls in the social account you select that’s currently logged in on your mobile phone. It integrates the data such as your gender and date of birth from your social account.

You also have the option to register via email. There is no email verification, but you still need to provide a valid email address to get email notifications. Then, you are required to choose your gender orientation and gender preference. Gay share is available in the app. Afterward, you need to nominate a username and password and enter your date of birth. Minors are not allowed to use the app.

Koko gives a fair chance for all members to interact and have conversations with other members. The app has four main ways for members to contact each other, and all of it is free of charge. Here are the three main contacting features of Koko: 

Tribe
Tribe is the app's search function. It displays all members who are nearby when you turn on the location services on your phone. You can also browse members from different cities if you decide to make use of the basic search filters available.

Messaging
You can start chats with members when you see their profiles on the Tribe list. You are allowed to send one free message to another member if you don't have a mutual crush on each other. However, if you both have expressed interest through the Vote feature, you can chat for an unlimited number of messages.

Like
You can heart any profile that you see on the Tribe tab. By doing so, you mark that member as one of your favourite people on the app. The user will get notified that you sent them a heart, but they can only see it if they are premium members.

Vote
Voting is the main matchmaking feature of Koko. On the Vote tab,  a photo of another user will appear on the page. You have to vote whether you're interested in the person or not. Not only that, but you can also let him or her know how interested you are by making use of the different symbols available. However, if you're not interested, you can swipe in any direction to go to the next profile to judge.

The sun means that you have a slight interest, the flame indicates a bit more interest, and the heart signifies undivided attention. The determinant moves to each symbol, the longer you press the vote button.

The member profiles on Koko appear as a pop-up window. At the top-most of the page, you will see the member's username, age, and location. Below this is a show 'About Me' section that features quick personal information about the member such as the gender and gender preference.

Most of the members of Koko don't fill up their profile to 100% completeness. However, you will see that most of them enjoy answering the personality quizzes on the dating app, as their results show up on their profiles. These quiz results are right below the 'About Me' section or the photo gallery if they choose to upload more than one photo.

The next sections would be 'Hashtags' if the member decided to put a hashtag that can help his or her profile get found more. The last part is the 'Interview' section, which shows the answers of that member to Koko's pre-defined questions.

Right at the bottom of the pop-up profile window is the button to start a chat conversation.

Koko features premium membership in three different durations. Getting an annual membership will save you a lot of money, as with choosing the 3-month subscription.

A premium membership in Koko gives you access to helpful features that can get you a date. First, it lets you view who visited your profile and the members who voted for you. You can then send them an unlimited number of messages, compared to a free subscription that only gives you one free message allowance daily.

Another perk of Koko+ is that it get rids of the ads on the dating app that disrupt your experience.
