The sign-up process is easy and simple. The Dil Mil app is available in Google Play Store and Apple Store. After installing, you have to make sure that you have the Facebook app and that you are logged onto your account. This is the only way that you can sign up for an account at Dil Mil.

Making Contact on Dil Mil

There is no definite number of proposal per person. Proposals rely on the information collected by the app. You need to get matched to these proposals before you can message.
The profile images are visible to you. There is no other activity that you and your match can do on the app aside from chatting.
It is possible to date other people as a free account. Yet, it is quite hard to find a match even if there are no fake profiles found.
Messaging allows you to send simple messages only. There is also no separate app for messages or video function, normal chat functions.
You can only message someone if you matched with each other. This is why the allotted 10 likes every 24 hours is restrictive. It creates hurdles to finally have successful matches.

Sending messages to other users is free for everyone

You can only start messaging someone until you match together. This limits the number of people you can talk to. Even if you saw a profile that you like, you can not talk to the person in-app as a free account. The limited 10 likes every 24 hours also lengthens the process of successful matches. But as a premium account, these functionalities will be easier. You can talk to people faster through features such as "Note." This lets you give notes to others even if you are not matched. Overall, the contacting experience is much better for premium accounts.

Dil Mil Real Life Review

Almost all profiles I have encountered have Asian roots. During registration, I had to google the meaning of the choices listed under their ethnicity and community questions. These are fun things to answer because it celebrates the Southern Asian's identity. But for non-Southern Asians like me, this is a new experience. It teaches me more about the culture of this specific group of people. The registration went smoothly without problems. The hardest part, however, is getting a match. It is hard to pinpoint how the app chooses your next partner. Do they base it on the religion I input? How sure is the app that these religions are compatible? Despite not getting a connection for a few days, there are a lot of beautiful people that you can meet inside the app. So I used a paid feature I got by signing up to their trial premium. I sent a note to a person recommended to me by the app. She is a 25-year-old Chemist. That is also one of the things that I noticed in this app. Most people are either working in the medical or the technology field. Anyway, the Chemist lady sounds like a decent and polite person based on our exchanges. I hope to meet more people like her. But after the trial period ended, I am not sure when I will get a new contact connection again.

Design and Usability

The design is clear and the icons are easy to understand. Not much text is needed because it easily translates without much reading. The functionality is easy and intuitive, but it has to be more accessible. The charging time is short and refreshes instantly. Swiping to either like or dislike is smooth. There are no delays or glitches. The people search preferences is also easy to use. Choosing your preferences only takes a few taps or scrolling of a bar to readjust. It also comes in a calm shade of orange which is not too powerful but just right for the eyes.

Editors Conclusion

Dil Mil's dating process is simple and takes only a few minutes to finish. It does not have lengthy personality tests—good for people who are looking for a love story but are always on the go. It makes use of technology to find love for you without spending too much time on questionnaires. It does that by collecting information on people you "like" and "dislike." It does work at some point after you have been dating for a while. The amount of information stored will show statistics on things you love. Such include the age, religion, community, and location of "liked" and "disliked" members. What makes it unique from other dating services is that it caters to a specific group. This shows the number of Southern Asian users. You can also be sure of the person's identity because of the linked social media. It can improve a lot if they balance the number of paid and free functionalities. Almost 70% of the functionalities are available only to premium profiles. This restricts the dating so much and it can take days before you even find a match. If you are looking to create your love story faster, check out our Dating Apps category for more options.
