  • Most members are young – from the age range of 18 to 30 years old
  • Gender proportion is equal
  • Not many active members, especially outside major cities
  • Small member base
  • Most members have their Spotify accounts synced

The majority of POM members fall under the younger age range, as it should because the dating app was designed for millennials and Gen Z singles. Only 18+ years old can sign up.

POM is relatively a new dating app and is not as popular as other apps in the market. It generally has a small member base and app activity is low. However, current members of the app seem to be authentic people who are trying out something new in the hopes of meeting new friends and potential dates.

How to Sign Up for POM

pom signup
  • Register via Facebook or phone number only
  • Verification code is sent via mobile
  • At least 2 profile pictures required to upload
  • Option to sync your Spotify or Apple Music account
  • Takes 7 to 10 minutes

Registration for POM dating app takes 7 to 10 minutes in total. You only have the option to register through your Facebook login or your mobile number. But even when you choose to log in via Facebook, the app will still require you to input your mobile number for further verification. This increases the security of the app from fake profiles signing up. 

After verifying, POM prompts you with questions to fill up your profile. Questions range from your gender preference to your music favorites; favorite artists, tracks, and genres. You have the option to sync your Spotify or Apple Music and your favorite tracks will automatically be displayed.

As for profile photos, you are required to upload at least two photos. Also, as POM is a matchmaking dating app, you must also provide your current location – you can automatically set this by turning your GPS on, or set it manually.

Making Contact on POM

  • You can send a song to another member once everyday
  • You can't see the matching buttons until you swipe down to the bottom of the profile

Matchmaking in POM is based on members' taste in music. POM gives you match suggestions which you need to decide whether to like or pass. You can't find the matching buttons unless you swipe to the very bottom of the profile. This is actually good as it prevents mindless swiping.
