HOLY
A count of what reviewers wrote, not a finding about the company.
HOLY is the Christian dating and friendship app for people who seriously love Jesus. Every profile is reviewed by a real person and selfie-verified, there is no swiping, and HOLY is rated 4.7 stars by over 34,000 people. Made by married couple Kathleen & Jonathan. MEET CHRISTIANS NEAR YOU Each day, HOLY introduces you to an inspiring selection of Christians near you, every one of them reviewed by a real person. See someone you would like to know? Wave at them. If they wave back, we connect you both and you can chat. Choose Dating, Friends, or both. Friendship is not an afterthought on HOLY. Many members join to find Christian friends and community first. WHY PEOPLE TRUST HOLY • Real people only. Every profile is manually reviewed by our team, and every member is selfie-verified. Verification is required. • No swiping. Every person is made in the image of God, and the app is designed to treat them that way. • Meaningfully paced. Intentional breaks and scripture reminders instead of endless swiping. • Independent and community-supported. No ads, no outside investors, no corporate agenda. GROW YOUR FAITH TOGETHER • Read why people say Jesus matters to them. • Share your testimony and the Bible verses that inspire you. • Profile prompts designed for encouragement, not small talk. • Discover people in a similar season of life. WHO IS HOLY FOR? We welcome everyone who confesses Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and considers themselves a Christian (confessing the Nicene Creed) to join! We seek to connect the greater Christian community, and are united in our love for Jesus. Whether you are Catholic, Nondenominational, Evangelical, Anglican, Baptist, Reformed, Orthodox, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Methodist, Messianic, or are just at the beginning of your journey with Jesus, you are welcome to join our diverse community of believers! Note: Christ-honoring dating is only available to those who are single and of age 18 and upward. ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER This app was inspired by the call to unity (in Ephesians 4 & John 17) and the call to love and encourage one another (in Hebrews 10 & 1 Thessalonians 4). In addition, we were greatly inspired by Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book “Life Together”. Bonhoeffer beautifully describes how we can see Jesus more clearly in the lives and testimonies of our brothers and sisters. ** Winner of both Jury and People’s Choice Awards at NYC Redeemer Presbyterian’s Center for Faith & Work’s Startup Pitch Night. ** SUPPORTER HOLY is free to download and use, made possible by members who generously subscribe to our Supporter plan. Supporting HOLY funds the app and its mission, and unlocks extra features: • See all received waves in one place. • Go back with 48-hour history. • Send priority messages. • See when your chats are read. Prices and durations are displayed in the app. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. WHO MADE HOLY? Unlike most apps, HOLY (formerly United Young) is built and cared for by the two of us (Kathleen & Jonathan), with help from our trusted friend Karen, who looks after support and reviews new profiles. We made this app for Christians to meet and encourage one another in their walk with Jesus. We believe it’s more important than ever to share an uplifting word, a prayer, or a testimony with one another. May we remind each other of the eternal hope we have found in Jesus. That’s the mission of this app, and we pray you may find encouragement in meeting fellow believers!

Instead of swiping wildly for appearances only, this app encourages slowly and deliberately weighing what a person has said. There are pictures, yes, but they are broken by the person's values and tho...
can I meet ladys in middle Tennessee 😫
I think the app is good, I see just how in depth the creators wanted it to be and I’ve seen many profiles that are aligned with my own beliefs and you can filter for just about anything!
Just began using app. so far so good
Great app with great people on it! Best part is being able to find friends as well as relationships! The only complaint is the same complaint for every dating app, and it’s just the frustration of lim...
Trying to get thru verification is a complete and utter pain, too strict, I’ll post my best pics and still doesn’t work, complete joke
They want a cell phone number just to sign up. Screams scam to me
I think is very divisive to use religion to actively make money in such a greedy way. To show anyone that likes or “waves” at you, you’re going to attach a paywall? How greedy are you… doesn’t feel li...
I haven’t been using this app long but I value the flexibility with the profiles, the Jesus-focus, and the human element involved!
This app is well thought out, and is focused on finding a potential spouse with the same Christian values as I have. I appreciate the scripture integrated throughout the app. Hopefully the Lord will u...
I think this app has the right idea of trying to get like minded to come together (especially is you are faith driven), but if you’re not paying for the subscription then you can’t see who waves at yo...
I met my future wife on here!
The people on this app are more serious about their walk with the Lord and finding a real relationship.
I am very new to the app, but I love the Christian based questions, the verification of the profiles, and the warm feel of not endlessly swiping. This is a fantastic concept to put like-minded people ...
This app seems great from the outset.
nobody waves at me are likes me, bro. my waves go unanswered, and if I would of knew this beforehand, I might have saved my 30 dollars. I paid to lose.
I absolutely love that you have to submit your profile to be looked at before your profile is posted for others to see. And before you submit your profile it does a video of your face to verify that y...
I just signed up and haven't connected with anyone as yet! But so far it seems real and I haven't come across any what seems to be fake profiles.
If you’re looking for people who are like minded and tired of the secular apps and not being able to find someone who loves God, this is the app you want. You can speak openly about your faith and fin...
This app is helpful
I was so excited to join untill I found that the app is very complicated and expensive, so disappointed was not worth my time. I hope they fix this.
this app is awesome! I've really been looking for a way to connect with genuine Christians and this app is much different than other apps.
Definitely worth a try
Holy is a wonderful Christian dating app!
I've talked to a couple guys and one was actually in my state but it didn't work out and then I talked to another guy for a week who lived kind of far away over 400 mi away but we seem to click and no...
They discriminate against transition glasses users for photos. I cannot help that most of my photos have sunglasses since that's how my glasses work. They should send someone to take photos of me if t...
The Staff & Set up are Dynamic, & Enlightening 😌
I'm new, but I'm enjoying the app so far!
a normal selfie is close up of your face not from far away! A far away photo often reveals the surroundings of the photo's subject - an invasion of privacy!
horrible so far I made a profile paid now the app is making me restart my profile and its done it more then once very frustrating
What happened to you helps the next person decide. A line or two is fine.
