What Is CougarD?

The app that connects hot older women with the men or women who are into them, is right at your fingertips. CougarD aims to help cougars meet their cubs, for dating and fun. While dating between younger and older folks may make you think of sugar daddy/mommy and sugar baby relationships, that’s not what CougarD is for. It’s exclusively for cougar dating.

This CougarD app review will explore the pros and cons of the site, how to sign up, and how to finish your profile. It’ll explore the standout dating features, cost of use, and how high or low quality the other site users are. Finally, we’ll let you know about safety issues, answer FAQs, and give a final rating.

Pros

• App is available on iOS and Android.

• The dating app is easy to use.

• Everyone has photos.

• A good portion of users are verified.

Cons

• Some female profiles look suspicious.

• Profiles are very simple.

• A smaller site means a smaller user base.

Login Process

You’ll start your CougarD adventure by downloading the app from the play store on your device. Creating your account is relatively quick, and only has 4 steps. Step one is entering your email address and creating a password, which will be your CougarD login details when you log out and need to re-enter.

Step two requires adding a profile photo, creating a nickname, and entering your birthday and gender. You cannot proceed without completing all those steps. Step three is simply allowing location access, by clicking “allow” or “allow while using the app”. This is so that you can be shown matches who live near you.

The final step is selecting your relationship status from a list of options and selecting up to 5 interests from a list. The list contains numerous hobbies and passions, like meditation, nightlife, religion, camping, dogs, and more. And just like that, you gain account access, and you can start browsing.

Profile Completion

After joining, your profile will be 18% complete. To reach 100%, a few more steps need to be taken. First, you’ll want to add 5 more photos to bring your total to 6. Then you’ll write a short paragraph about yourself and can even add a voice introduction. Voice introductions are a fun feature that allows you and potential matches to hear each other’s voices before meeting.

Next is Personal Information, the normal questions of height, body type, job, and income status. Also, let potential matches know your intentions and whether you drink or smoke. Lastly, you can share what you’d like your partner’s hobbies and personality to be, which are two questions we’ve never seen before. That’s an interesting section that can help viewers of your profile gauge if they should reach out, by seeing if they fit your ideals.

The final two sections are your preferences and your basic information, which you would’ve completed during registration. Your preferences refer to the list of hobbies, where you choose up to 5, and your basic information is your nickname, birthday, gender, and location.

User Account Quality

Unfortunately, dating sites need tons of members to be most effective, and the user base here is reasonably small. You’ll be best off near cities, where there are more users. Because photos are a must, not to mention moderated before going live, the other users on the site are reasonably good quality.

All users have photos and about 25% have verified themselves. The verified profiles all seem very real, while the unverified profiles have some small red flags like posting very suggestive Moments, which could indicate they’re fake. Some other CougarD reviews complain of fake profiles, so there seem to be some instances of catfishing.

Dating Features

Plaza/Nearby

There are two ways to search through profiles on CougarD com, and that’s by exploring the Plaza or searching through people who are nearby. The Plaza categorises profiles and lets you browse the different categories. The categories are profiles new to the app, Top Picks, only verified profiles, or online users.

You can also search with the Nearby tab which shows you people who are physically near your location, to make things easier for a quick meet. This tab works on the swiping system, where you’ll be shown a profile picture and some information, and you’ll swipe left if you’re not interested and swipe right if you’re interested in them.

Moments

CougarD has an activity feed where users can upload Moments (a photo and a caption), and others can view, like, and comment on them. Viewing and liking Moments are free, but comments are reserved for premium subscribers. Moments are meant to be like capturing a small slice of your day and sharing that with potential matches. It can also be a way to get more attention or show off if you’re looking good that day.

Send Winks

While messaging is only available if you purchase a VIP Membership, you can initiate interactions for free by sending them a wink. This will deliver them a note that you’ve winked at them and can be a way to start being flirty while deciding if you want to purchase VIP. This is a basic feature but allows some interaction while you’re testing the site. There’s no limit on how many winks you can send per day.

Prices & Costs

The CougarD app is monetized through a subscription system for messaging (and other perks) and a coin system for buying extra features.

CougarD VIP Membership

A premium subscription is called VIP, and comes with several benefits:

• See fellow VIP Members, online members, or narrow your search to verified members only.

• Unlimited chatting.

• Unlock more likes.

• Add a VIP emblem to your profile.

CougardD VIP costs about average for a dating site like this:

• 1 Month: $29.99 per month.

• 3 Months: $84.99 (about $28.35 per month).

• 6 Months: $139.99 (about $23.33 per month).

• 12 Months: $249.99 (about $20.83 per month).

Coins

CougarD also uses a coin system, where users can purchase coins and spend them on boosts, or super likes. You can also earn coins by signing into the CougarD app each day for a 20-coin reward.

• Boosts: costs 50 coins for 1 Boost, this pushes your profile to the top of people’s screens for one day, allowing you to be seen by more people (and hopefully get more matches).

• Super Likes: costs 20 coins for 1 Super Like, making your profile the first thing the receiver will see in her likes list.

Coins are pretty affordable, and will only set you back:

• 200 coins: $9.99

• 500 coins: $19.99

• 2,000 coins: $49.99

• 10,000 coins: $149.99

How Safe Is CougarD?

Terms of Use and Fictional Profiles

There are no causes of concern in the Terms of Use and no references to any site-run fictional or test profiles. That being said, some profiles seem suspicious, so there may still be scammers or catfish on CougarD. Try to verify people before arranging a meet or leaving the site, asking for specific photos is usually a good way to do this.

Verify Profile

CougarD has a photo verification feature, found on your profile. If you click the tick icon, your camera will open, and a short video will be recorded. Follow the instructions above the camera, which may ask you to open your mouth or wink. This video will be viewed by the moderation services team and compared to your profile pictures to ensure that you’re the same person.

If the moderation team is satisfied, you’ll get a verified icon on your profile. This is a great way to show other users you’re real. While browsing, it’s also helpful to see that other users are verified, and it’s easier to trust those people.

Final Thoughts

CougarD is a great app. It’s easy to use, not very buggy and has a fair number of users. The users seem to be real people, but you can also see which users are genuine by the users who have a verified badge. The Moments feature is a nice way to browse through active users and make connections.

You’ll need a VIP Membership if you want to communicate with anyone beyond sending winks, and VIP is priced at the average price point for sites like this. Coins are useful if you need to get more attention to your profile with Boosts or SuperLikes and are quite affordable.

If you’re a cub looking for a cougar to have some fun with, this is a good option to explore. We’d recommend browsing the site for free to see if there are people near you that you’re interested in before purchasing a subscription. For these reasons, we give CougarD a respectable 7/10.
