Lumen Review December 2023
Lumen claims to be the first app-only dating service provider for people above 50 years old. It aims to connect seniors who are looking for their match. Through the app, you can scroll through a number of seniors who are waiting to meet friends or future partners.

Lumen app members are not younger than 50 years old. They are not into hookups and flings. The app aims for its members to find serious relationships and share the wisdom they got based on their age and experiences.
These like-minded individuals have good feedback about the app. They have peace of mind not worrying about fake profiles and scammers around because of the tight security measures that are being implemented before the approval of the membership.
How to Signup on Lumen

  
Quick registration process
  
You can link your Facebook account to the your Lumen profile
  
You can sign up using your mobile number
  
It has a strict signing up and verification process
  
Selfie verification is required to get your photos approved
  
Upload at least two photos upon signing up

The Lumen app offers two different ways for you to create an account. You can choose to link your existing Facebook account or give your phone number. If you choose to link your Facebook account, the app automatically syncs your basic information such as your first name and birthdate. On the contrary, if you choose to register using your phone number, you need to manually provide your details. Thereafter, you have to upload at least two photos for identification purposes. Next, you need to verify the photos you uploaded by taking a selfie to make sure that fake accounts will not be created. The registration process is easy, but the security is strict that it may get in the way and maybe difficult for the older audience to follow. You can only signup using the app since the website is only for the blog and links so you can download the app to your phone.
Making Contact on Lumen

  
Standard members can send messages to members they like
  
Anyone can initiate contact
  
Has a 72-hr timeframe for members to respond to initial messages
  
No swiping feature
  
You cannot send photos through messages
  
Does not have a lot of search filter options

Initiating contact in Lumen is not a problem even if you're just a standard member. Everyone can enjoy the app's messaging features. However, those that do not have a subscription are only limited to having five conversations per day.
The app has a unique rule in creating new conversations. On your first message, or what the app calls "icebreaker," you are required to send a message that has at least 50 characters on it. The site also only allows people with profile pictures to send messages. This reassures members that they are having a conversation with someone who is already verified by the app.
Despite being known as the "Tinder for seniors," the site is entirely different in terms of finding matches and contacting members. Though your match suggestions in Lumen are based on your location, it does not have the prominent swiping feature that is present on most Tinder-like apps today. When looking for a match, you have to scroll through a list of people instead.
Lumen Profile Quality

  
Profiles are detailed
  
Only six image slots available
  
Everyone can see other members' uploaded photos
  
Every user is required to upload at least three photos
  
All users are verified and legit
  
Profiles are regularly checked

Lumen has strict security procedures that make it impossible for fakes and bots to join. New members have to go through image verification and identification before they can complete their profile. If you don’t go through this process, you may not use the app.
The app conducts regular checks to maintain safety within its community. The moderators can still suspend already approved profiles once the profile owners violate a rule. You may also block or report a member who you find suspicious or rude.
As to the detailedness of the profiles, it depends on the amount of information that a user is willing to share. Most users fill out their ‘About Me’ and ‘I’m looking for’ section, but a number of members have also answered the questions from the site.

clear and shows your face

Lumen Real Life Review
"I think Lumen is promising, but it needs to get itself out there. Ideally, it is a good app, but since it's quite new, there aren't so many matches you can find (especially for me who's living in a small city). I have been on this app for weeks, yet I don't see new profiles every day.
 
What I like about it, though, is the tightness of its security. I have not yet encountered a fake account, and it doesn't seem to have scammers who will try to get you to spend on them. I'm keeping the app in hopes of it becoming more known in the months to come. But for now, I'm sticking with the sites I usually use". 
-Jose (57)
For my age, I didn't think that I will be convinced to use a dating app. But I am greatful that I did. Ever since I got divorced 6 years ago, I was lonely and miserable. Now I am happy again because I get the chance to meet nice gentlemen through this site. I still haven't found the one that I will be steady with, but I am entertained with the conversations and dinners that I am having. Members of the site are respectful, Lumen makes sure that old people like me will not feel harassed by inappropriate behaviors of other members.

Design and Usability
The design of the Lumen app is simple and sophisticated. It fits the mature personality of its target members. The white background and the yellow accent looks lively to the eyes without making it overwhelming. It has a modern touch of minimalism.
It is only available for mobile devices. A website version will be greatly helpful especially for the members who are advanced in age. Mobile screens are smaller compared to computer screens and easier to see.
One of the best things about the app is security and this serves an important feature that people 50 years and up would appreciate.
