But anyway, without further ado, let's jump right into the review and let's talk about Hilly, starting out with its demographics. So the majority of the members on Hilly are between 18 to 35. Hilly is really targeted at anybody you can search for casual dating, through long-term dating, or just friendship. The type of interactions, the type of people you will find on Hilly actually really are dependent on what you are looking for. You have a lot of choices when signing up to specify what you're looking for. Friendship, casual things, long-term, what kind of person you're looking for, a lot of search features. So it's really down to you and your preferences and that will determine the type of people you're going to see on the app. What can actually help you to get more success with people who are in your demographic that you're looking for is to have a great profile.

So definitely click the link in the description. Check out our free online dating profile guides. It'll totally help you out. So now let's talk about the effectiveness of Hilly. So Hilly is actually highly effective thanks to its matchmaking algorithms that rely on machine learning. They do this rather than relying on geographical location or an attractiveness filter, which is actually what Tinder uses. So this actually means that you will probably spend less time on the app, but it's better for you and not as good for the actual app, which is good for consumers. Because when you think about it, when you're on something like Tinder and the algorithm that they have is based on attractiveness and geographical location, it keeps you swiping and swiping and swiping, but 80% or more of those are just rejections. So Hilly is working to make it different than that and better than that so that you're seeing people who are actually compatible with you, regardless of any attractiveness filter or geolocation. So Hilly identifies users who have a higher probability of matching by taking into account their interests, depth of dialogue, mutual likes, photosense, etc. And it's set up so that the more time you spend investing in the app, the better and more tailored your matches actually are. Where Tinder gives out users' attractiveness score, Hilly actually relies on a risk score, which depends on the user's profile. So this takes into account passing verification, takes into account complaints, depth of dialogue, activity, etc. If a person has a high risk score, the app actually can block somebody from sending personal information to that problematic person. So basically, Hilly's algorithm is definitely set up for success, to be honest, and it's set up in a way that's going to deter any bots or fake profiles or inactive profiles. They really set themselves up for success and this algorithm sets them apart from all the new apps. That's probably one of the reasons why it's one of the most popular apps from the last few years, even though it is brand new. This algorithm is pretty impressive and it seems to be a perfect way to get rid of spam from your apps, which is a real plague on other dating apps. There tends to be a lot of spam, bad, fake, inactive profiles, and in one fell swoop, it seems that Hilly's actually figured out a way to get better matches, not based on just attractiveness, but rather something deeper on your actual interests. Somebody who will actually be aligned with what you're looking for, if they manage to do that, as well as eliminate a lot of the bad actors from the site. So it seems like a win-win-win and a really effective way to go about this app. What's also really effective is if you give this video a thumbs up. So thumbsing up our video actually helps us a ton because it shows YouTube that there's interest and appreciation for the video, which means that they will actually push it out for more people to see. So we'd really appreciate that thumbs up. Thank you, goodness! So now let's talk about the features of Hilly. So there are free features of Hilly and there's also upgraded features if you pay the premium price. So let's quickly go over the free features. So it's pretty basic, um, standard online dating app stuff. There is a Tinder-like section where you can swipe left or right on somebody. You can go to your messages. A cool feature that Hilly actually has is the Stories feature, which is similar to Snapchat or Instagram Stories, which I think is really cool and a nice integration from, you know, modern parts of social media into this dating app, which again is just helping its popularity. To be honest, the features of this app are pretty standard. There's nothing too out there. It's not known for its games or anything like that. It's just a very standard what you'd expect from a dating app. It's similar to the big players, like Tinder, OkCupid, etc. So it's not going to deviate too far from the norm there. So let's move on and talk about the ease of use of Hilly. So it's good to know that Hilly is actually very simple, straightforward, and easy to use. It's got a good site layout and navigation is easy to figure out. It is similar to a lot of other dating apps. Like I mentioned, it has the basics of what you consider the modern good, I guess, dating app. Like, it's got the basics down and it has its own flair, so it's a little bit different, but it's not too different. It could stand to be a little more different. It sort of blends in with all the others, to be honest, but that's all right because it's easy to use. So if you are new to the dating app scene, you'll be able to figure it out quickly. It's not hard at all to understand. They make it very simple with big pictures, emojis, all of that. And if you are a veteran of the dating app scene, then it's going to be even easier for you. You're going to have a real easy transition into using this. Set up your profile is very simple as well, and they love to verify you, which is fantastic, which is a great safety measure. You will definitely be asked to upload photos of yourself and fill out your profile, which you can fill out as much or as little as you would like to. The only usability issue that there is is that it might be a little bit difficult to cancel your subscription, so just be aware of that. Let's talk about subscriptions, actually. Let's move on to the pricing of Hilly. Before I mention the prices, though, let's talk about what features you actually get when you are a premium member of Hilly. So you get extended filters, which allows you to narrow down your search and specify some characteristics of people you want to see in your finder, even further than the free version. You can send messages before getting matched. You will have a profile boost, which will increase your visibility in finder and help you to get more visitors. You will be able to have visible likes and visible visitors, so you can see the people liking and visiting you. You can use incognito mode and browse invisibly, and you have unlimited rollbacks, so if you accidentally swipe the wrong way and someone you wanted to swipe right on or left, you can go back and change that. As far as the prices go, for one week, it's $14.99. For three months, it's $53.99 total, or $4.19 a week. And for a year, it is $69.99 total, or $1.39 per week. You should keep in mind, though, that the prices I'm mentioning now are only accurate at the time of recording this video. Things are always changing, so if you want the most up-to-date and accurate pricing and details about everything I'm mentioning, by the way, you should actually check out this article.
