Cougar is a dating application focused on connecting women, referred to as "Cougars," with significantly younger men. It emphasizes a straightforward and engaging experience where users can find and interact with potential matches easily. The app encourages users to share various aspects of their lives by posting moments, stories, and highlights, fostering a community for those interested in such relationships. Communication is made simple, allowing users to say hello to others they find interesting with ease.
The platform takes user verification seriously by employing dedicated staff to review profiles, match avatars with profile information, and ensure photos are genuine. This process helps minimize scams and fraudulent accounts, creating a safer environment for users. The app's design is clean and minimalistic, making navigation intuitive; users can swipe down to connect with someone they like or swipe up to skip those they’re uninterested in, streamlining the discovery process.
Cougar offers a subscription model called Premium, catering to users wanting enhanced features. The subscription options include a one-month plan with a free trial, as well as three and six-month plans. Premium users benefit from unlimited messaging, viewing contact details of others, seeing who liked or visited their profile for free, and accessing additional profile information. Premier members also get priority access to viewing more potential matches daily and are distinguished by a VIP medal next to their names.
Subscription payments are handled through the user's iTunes account, with automatic renewal options. Users can disable auto-renewal anytime through the App Store or iTunes, and the subscription will then expire at the end of the current billing cycle. The app offers support for users with questions or suggestions and provides links to their Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for more detailed information on policies and data handling. Sharing the app with friends is encouraged if users find it enjoyable.
