Lulu is a unique dating app tailored for heterosexual singles, where the user experience depends on the gender of the user.

Gender Matters in the Lulu App

One of the most distinguishing features of the Lulu app is that it changes its functionality based on the user's gender. Initially, users are required to specify their gender as either male or female. Your gender selection will subsequently determine your user experience on the app.

Female User Experience

For women, the Lulu app offers a pool of male profiles sorted by geographic proximity. These profiles are comprehensive, providing a variety of information about the men, including a personal description, photographs, background data, and statistics such as the frequency with which their profile has been viewed. Additionally, each male profile includes a rating, which is determined by the feedback given by other female users.

Women are also permitted to initiate conversations with men on the platform. This feature gives women the freedom to select and communicate with potential partners based on their preferences.

Male User Experience

On the other hand, male users on the Lulu app have a different experience. Men are tasked with setting up their profiles and then patiently waiting for women to initiate a conversation. This model ensures that men only engage with women who have shown an interest in them, thus eliminating fruitless chats.

'Pure Truth' Community Forum

Regardless of gender, all users have access to the 'Pure Truth' feature. This is a discussion forum managed by the Lulu team, focusing on topics such as friendships, relationships, and casual dating. The forum provides a platform for users to share their thoughts and exchange views with other members of the community.

Pros

  • Gender-specific user experience ensures targeted interaction
  • Comprehensive profiles provide ample information about potential matches
  • 'Pure Truth' forum encourages community engagement and discussion

Cons

  • Men cannot initiate chats, limiting their potential matches
  • User experience heavily dependent on gender may not appeal to all

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access approximate location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
  • ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access precise location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
  • CAMERA: Required to be able to access the camera device.
  • GET_ACCOUNTS: Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service.
  • READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • READ_SMS: Allows an application to read SMS messages.
  • RECEIVE_SMS: Allows an application to receive SMS messages.
  • SEND_SMS: Allows an application to send SMS messages.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • BLUETOOTH: Allows applications to connect to paired bluetooth devices.
  • BLUETOOTH_ADMIN: Allows applications to discover and pair bluetooth devices.
  • CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to change network connectivity state.
  • CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to change Wi-Fi connectivity state.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
