About this app

As a single parent, you’ve tried the other dating apps, but when you mention your kids or that you can’t drop everything to go out on a date with your match, you’re no longer interesting.

Sound familiar? Not anymore!

Change With Stir!
As seen on CNN, CNBC, and INSIDER, Stir is an app dedicated to giving single parents an online dating experience where they can
- be celebrated,
- have a fulfilling life beyond navigating parenthood,
- and just be themselves!

With Stir, you may match, chat and date with other single parents. Non-parents who are open to dating parents and meeting new people are also welcome!

Let's talk the free stuff first.

Free mutual likes? Of course! On Stir, it is free to send likes and even to chat with everyone who has a mutual attraction with you. Take advantage of this free communication option once you find a match you like, especially when you first explore the app. Don't hesitate to start chatting right away!

What About Premium Membership?
Then take the next step and become a paying member. This lets you initiate conversations with anyone and you can get noticed faster by sending super likes.

You stand out more which boosts your views or if you are looking for something more low key, you can switch to private mode and only be noticed by people you liked. Find your partner right way!

On Stir, you don’t have to apologize for having a busy schedule. Life can be less complicated because Stir offers “Stir Time”, a scheduler option that lets you quickly find out if you and someone you like have similar schedules.

How To Stay Safe?
Single parents dating often have one shared major concern: safety. With that in mind, Stir has partnered with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to provide members with tips specific to single dating moms and dads.

We advise you on how to set up boundaries early on, keep the spotlight on yourself, and what red flags to look out for when embarking on your new adventure.

As far as keeping your experience on the dating app safe, Stir has an entire care team dedicated to monitoring photos and profiles and any reported members are reviewed by real humans.

Speaking of real humans, Stir has a team focused on detecting and deleting fake accounts. This helps prevent spam and saves you from wasting time. Your account is also protected through phone number verification to makes sure your personal information is safe.

When it comes to non-humans, our unique algorithm has got your back, presenting you with new match recommendations we think you'll love as we learn what you like and don't like after you answer questions on personality and values.

With so much information on each profile, Stir makes it easy for you to start a conversation and meet up with local single moms and dads.

Stir is where solo parents can meet online, chat and rediscover the fun in dating. It’s where having kids is never a deal-breaker.

Here you can find your “every other weekend” partner or the person with whom you want to blend families. Download Stir now!

Downgrading my original comment from 3 to 1. The distance filter on this is useless. I live in a city with a population of 2.3 million people, and if you include the surrounding suburbs it easily doubles to 4 million, and the closest people I have the option to match with are all 4+hours away. I got more people coming up in other states than in my city, which with the number of people in my city is absurd and my distance is set to 30 miles, not 400. This app is useless until this is fixed.

The app is not worth paying for. I signed up for a little bit because I kept getting notifications that people liked me and I couldn't see them unless I paid. So I paid for a membership to try it out and the majority of those matches were outside of the age range or in completely different states. Just feels like mostly a waste of time and money. Also the app will randomly stop working and I have to uninstall it and wait a day or so before installing it again to get it to work.

Worst customer service. There is no phone number to call if your having problems with your account. They require you verify your phone number everytime you log in. I changed my phone number and couldn't log in. I had to email Stir about ten times over the course of a month for them to update my phone number so I could log in again. I will not be renewing my subscription and wouldn't recommend it to others. The radius filter is useless. Constantly seeing profiles from hundreds of miles away.
