United States5/10

Stir is a dating app from Match Group launched in 2022 exclusively for single parents in the United States. Built around the realities of parenting schedules, co-parenting logistics, and finding partners who understand kids-first life, the app centers a scheduling feature called Stir Time that lets users flag their available windows. Profiles highlight parenting status and users can indicate how many kids they have and their ages in general terms. The app uses a standard swipe-and-match interface, with in-app messaging that opens after mutual interest. It emphasizes safety with photo verification and integrates with Match Group's trust and safety systems.

What Users Say

Stir fills a real gap by recognizing that single parents dating is a distinct experience from general adult dating. The standout feature, Stir Time, asks users to indicate when they are actually free, which is smart design for people whose calendars revolve around custody schedules and school pickup. Profiles let parents signal their family situation without forcing disclosure of kids' identities. The interface is Match Group clean and familiar, so there is essentially no learning curve. User intent skews older (late 20s through 50s) and more serious. Match volume is the biggest limitation: the user base is narrower than general apps. Premium pricing is in line with other Match Group apps. Reviewers often praise the relief of skipping the is-it-okay-that-I-have-kids conversation.
