Encounter

Encounter provides a dating mobile app that deters catfishers and spammers from ever signing up. In practice that means designing and building iOS and Android apps.

It makes the most sense for businesses launching or rebuilding an app. Alongside the main category they mention Consumer, Lifestyle and Mobile. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Encounter is based in Phoenix, Arizona and around since 2015. More on tryencounter.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio quality, app store experience, and maintenance terms. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with Encounter, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
