Pretty cool guys. I can see from the play store comments that your users love the app. Best wishes. Whats 'Halal, free, and fun'? Whats you tech stack like?
And what is the reason for not having a teaser video? I hear they improve the download rates.

A few harsh comments in play store are interesting too :p and many downvotes are because there are in-app purchases. Seems to be quite a problem with play store. They should have an algorithm or UX flow to weed out such reviews.
This looks like a really good idea. I wonder if there is a wider opportunity beyond the Muslim-specific context for some kind of Anti-Tinder. Out of curiosity, how does "all profiles being verified manually" scale?
It definitely keeps us busy 24/7 but we've built some internal tools to make this as quick and efficient as possible
We're definitely nearing the point of needing a dedicated Community Manager to take over this function

Different dating apps cater to different mindsets towards dating. Some ban pictures in favor of words; while others only work if you have great pictures; then others want one to mention their annual income ranges.
The groups on Facebook are very different but it still works. You should be able to build most things on top of the platform. Flickr was the social network for photographers but most photographers post on Facebook now.
Strangers don't belong in that model because they are not friends. Most people want to keep strangers away from your real life until they become friends so having a third party site keeps that experience away from preying eyes. Once a couple is formed they will connect over facebook and start sharing their experiences.

Why cant men also request a Wali? I am not being a pain point here.. Just pointing out that Men might get scammed too.. and might need a guardian. Please add the feature to avoid gender discrimination - usage by either gender is up to them.

As I wrote: It strengthens and enforces typical stereotypes which don't make life easier for the target demo.
If anything that "strengthens and enforces typical stereotypes" is a bad thing, I should've been banned from attending mathlete competitions or LAN parties. Those definitely reinforced stereotypes and made some aspects of my life harder. :] It's a free world dude.
In terms of gender, I am fluid. Does muzmatch have plans to support additional gender options? The current format only allows "Male" or "Female".

The whole discussion is not about the guys but YC and if they can back such a business.
>"We refer to ourselves as a dating app largely for SEO but the reality is our users don’t tend to date, they marry!" If your users "don't tend to date" then why are you optimizing for the word "dating" why not SEO for term "marrying app"? >"We’ve tried to build a product that feels fun and light but respects our demographic’s culture and sensibilities, being halal is essential.

The options are available. You are not forced to use them. This way, the app can be used by people of different cultures and beliefs.
There is a colon at the end of the third to last sentence that uses the phrase "fun and light" but then those optional features in the hyphenated list that follows are things that most adults don't generally associate with lightheartedness or fun.
Perhaps you could describe what the light and fun elements of your app are so as to provide contrast to those other optional restrictive and conservative features?
