Questions, answered

Is there a dating app where no algorithm decides who I see?

The short answer

Yes. On MOOD Social & Dating nothing ranks people or decides who you see. You pick a MOOD and see everyone nearby who picked the same one, sorted by distance. You decide who to connect with, how and when.

Not the only way to do it

Meeting people through friends, clubs and local events has never needed an algorithm either. MOOD Social & Dating brings that same feel to an app: you see who's around and you choose.
