App is good but should exercise caution if you’re a sister using it
I’ve spent some time using the Sunnah Match app, and I feel it’s important to share both the positives and the areas where improvement is needed. Overall, the creators of the app seem to be genuinely good brothers, and the app itself offers a valuable platform for those looking to get married according to Islamic principles.
However, my experience has shown that there are certain aspects that could be addressed to make the platform more effective.
One key observation I’ve had is that, unfortunately, there are a lot of unserious brothers on the app. At first, they may appear serious, especially since the app encourages a more formal approach—such as approaching through a wali—making it seem like they are 100% committed to the process. However, this isn’t always the case. While there are definitely some genuine brothers who are serious about marriage, many seem to be using the app more casually or just to pass time. Without accountability or perhaps involvement from their parents, the seriousness of their intentions becomes unclear. Many brothers, in the end, may end up with an arranged marriage from their home countries, leaving sisters frustrated when their time is potentially wasted.
So I’ve noticed the lack of accountability, especially from the male side. I believe the app would greatly benefit from the inclusion of references from both the brothers and sisters’ sides. It feels unfair that sisters are often more transparent and involved with their families in the process, while many brothers use the app without their parents' knowledge or involvement. Encouraging brothers to involve their families or provide references would help ensure that everyone is serious and accountable, and it would create a more balanced experience for all users.
From what I’ve seen, sisters on this platform are overwhelmingly more serious about getting married and investing their time into finding a suitable match. A great improvement could be to add a passport OR ID check for everyone signing up to ensure no fake profiles exist, and to ensure individuals being unserious can be held accountable. This would make the app a more comfortable and safer experience for everyone.
On the positive side, I must say that the creators of Sunnah Match have done a commendable job with the app. The platform is easy to use, and it does have a lot of potential for helping people find spouses in line with Islamic values.
However, there are still a few questionable features that could use some refinement. These features, if improved, could make the app a much more efficient and user-friendly space for those seeking a serious partner.
In conclusion, if you are serious about marriage, I would recommend being very clear in your communication from the beginning. There are definitely brothers on the app who are serious and committed and will not waste your time but as with any other online platform they are strangers so it is important to be cautious of those who might not share the same intentions.
