Meet singles in Edmonton and nearby communities

HoopFrog is focused on building one strong local community across Edmonton and the surrounding municipalities, so nearby members can meet without an empty-app experience.

Verified, every step

Verified means you see the checks.

Verified on HoopFrog is not a badge. Every profile shows what has been checked, added up in a public Trust Score you see before you say hello.

Nine checks. One number you can see.Every profile carries a public Trust Score out of 100, built from twelve steps: the nine checks below and three profile steps. Phone and age are required of everyone, so they show as Required and add no points. The more that has been checked, the higher the number. You see it on every profile before you say hello, and everyone sees yours. These are safeguards, not guarantees, and we say so plainly.
PhoneConfirmed by code. Required before anyone can like or message.
EmailConfirmed by link.
Age18 and over, with a third-party age check where the law requires it.
PhotosScreened automatically at upload. Anything that does not pass is held for review.
Live selfieOptional. A live selfie is compared with the profile photo.
Friend's vouchA friend writes a short testimonial that shows on the profile.
LocationOptional. We confirm the area a member says they live in, so “nearby” means nearby. Completing it raises the Trust Score.
Voice greetingOptional. A short recording, up to thirty seconds, so people can hear a real voice before they connect. Completing it raises the Trust Score.
Video greetingOptional. A short recording on camera, so people can see who they are speaking with. Completing it raises the Trust Score.

The other three steps are profile depth: the questionnaire, a complete profile, and three or more photos.

How It Works

Three simple steps to a real conversation

Join free

Create your profile and answer the values and lifestyle questionnaire. It takes minutes and shapes everything you see.

Build your Trust Score

Confirm your phone and email and give your date of birth. Photos are screened at upload, the live selfie is optional, and a friend can vouch for you. Each check shows on your profile. Phone and age are required of everyone, and the rest add up to a public Trust Score you see on every profile.

Discover and talk

Browse compatible people at your own pace, connect on what matters, and start the conversation right in the app. No swiping, no number swapping.

Why HoopFrog

Built for how you actually date

Most apps are built to keep you swiping. HoopFrog is built to get you talking with people who fit your life.

Verified means visible.

Verified on HoopFrog is not a badge. Every profile shows what has been checked: phone, email, age, photos, the optional live selfie, and a friend's vouch, with everything beyond the required phone and age added up in a public Trust Score you see before you say hello.

Compatibility You Can See

A values and lifestyle questionnaire powers a clear compatibility breakdown, dimension by dimension. Discover people who fit your life, not just your type.

Trust You Can Measure

Every profile carries a public Trust Score from 0 to 100, built from twelve steps: nine checks and three profile steps. Read it before you say hello.

Voice & Video, Built In

Hear their voice and see their face before you ever meet. Voice greetings and video intros with captions are free; in-app voice and video calls come with VIP. No number swapping, no app switching.

App That Knows When to Stop

Set your own daily limit. Because doom-scrolling profiles isn't actually dating.

First Message? Handled.

Openers sends a pre-written icebreaker the moment you connect. The awkward "what do I even say?", already done.

Nudges when a chat goes quiet.

Our nudge system keeps conversations alive when things go quiet. Less fading into the void, more conversations worth having.

No Swiping, Ever

Our Glow Interaction System replaces the swipe. You see one profile at a time and choose with clear buttons: Pass, Like, or Flare, with Undo if you change your mind. Flare is a limited, high-signal like that tells someone they truly stood out.

Filter by What Matters

Narrow your discovery with lifestyle and values filters, so the people you see line up with how you actually live. Focus on real compatibility, not just who is nearby.

Location confirmed badge

Members can confirm they are near the city shown on their profile and earn an optional location confirmed badge, so you have more confidence that someone is really where they say they are.

Meet in Real Life

Beyond the app, you can attend local HoopFrog events and mixers and meet people face to face when you are ready. See what is coming up and reserve your spot.

Your Data. Not For Sale.

Encrypted messages, private by default. We do not sell your data to advertisers or data brokers. Invisible when you want to browse on your own terms. Your love life isn't an ad target.

Your Safety

Safety isn't a feature.
It's the foundation.

A verified phone number is required before anyone can send you a message.
Profile and gallery photos are screened before they appear.
The selfie check is optional: a live selfie is compared with the member's own profile photo, and every profile shows which checks are done.
We never create profiles, use AI personas, or message you from automated accounts.

These are safeguards, not guarantees. The checks show what a member has done; they do not confirm real-world identity or prevent all misrepresentation, and we do not run criminal background checks.
