DatePetLovers Review

WHAT WE FOUND: Free to join and sign up. Get a free paid membership if you sign up before the deadline. We did that and we STILL were only classified as a Free Member. Free members can do searches, see who is online, view profiles, send and read mail, and add to fave members list.

Paid members get full benefits including block members, preferences, rate members, use chatrooms and instant messenger, hide profile, post classified ad, advanced profile questions, photo albums, and send a kiss. Membership fees (U.S. dollars): 1 week for $5, 1 month for $14.95, 3 months for $39.95, 6 months for $69.95.

I found that after joining I did NOT get a paid membership right away, there was an unexplained delay in the upgrading of my membership, even though it was stated on the front page if you join by the deadline you have a free full membership. Also, some of the benefits of being a free member are not included and are only good for paid memberships, such as sending mail, etc. Benefits of being a paid member vs. free are very vague. Very few members total on the site.

Although the profiles are set up nicely, the site navigation itself is terribly messed up. Too many navigation bars, too difficult to find specific places to go to. We hope this will be cleaned up to make the service more user-friendly.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: 100% free. Easy to read profiles. Photos, videos and blogs. View who has viewed you and who has winked at you. Rate a profile, message, wink, buddy list, ban, hot list and watch profile. Three types of searches and also view who is online. Chatroom, forum, messenger, calendar, events, user stats and plug ins from other sites. Not very many members yet.
