Detailed Review
Lovoo offers a nearby list, a swipe-style Match function and live streams where members talk to viewers. The site says it has been a place to meet people since 2011.
The general terms identify PE Digital GmbH, Speersort 10, 20095 Hamburg, as the party running Lovoo services.
Nearby and Swipe
Near you shows who is online in your area, and Match is a swipe function where mutual interest opens chat.
This is the closest of the German options to Tinder's mechanics.
Live Streams
Members can stream video and interact with viewers. The terms include rules for streamers, including credits, cash rewards and security retention for chargebacks.
This adds a creator side that Tinder does not have.
German Operator
The terms are set by PE Digital GmbH, the same company as Parship and ElitePartner.
The site has a "We Are Fighting Fakes" page about fake profiles.
Limitations to Consider
Live streaming and virtual credits add in-app spending that some users want to avoid. The operator is shared with Parship and ElitePartner, so it is not an independent vendor. Prices for credits and upgrades are not published on the website. For a no-ads, free option see Finya.
Who Should Use Lovoo
Younger users who want a swipe app with nearby discovery from a German company.
