POM age range and age distribution
- Most members are young – from the age range of 18 to 30 years old
- Gender proportion is equal
- Not many active members, especially outside major cities
- Small member base
- Most members have their Spotify accounts synced
The majority of POM members fall under the younger age range, as it should because the dating app was designed for millennials and Gen Z singles. Only 18+ years old can sign up.
POM is relatively a new dating app and is not as popular as other apps in the market. It generally has a small member base and app activity is low. However, current members of the app seem to be authentic people who are trying out something new in the hopes of meeting new friends and potential dates.

Our field test ★★★★★ 3.0/5
"Found out about POM from my friend who has met a lot of friends from the dating app. I tried it hoping to find a woman. Though I did meet a lot of friends, I did not once find a date – maybe because there are very few people active on the app. It is a very nice app though. A lot of potential there." - Ben, 29, NSW
