Getting Started

🎉 Welcome to Revel! 🎉

Revel is a dating app created by U-M relationship scientists just for U-M students.

Revel is also a research study with the goal of uncovering the mysteries of dating and compatibility, so you will need to consent to join the study as part of joining Revel.

Ready to join Revel? Here’s what you need to know to get started:

  • Download the App here
  • Build Your Profile 🎨
    You can build your profile anytime. To encourage honesty and civility, please use your real (first) name and an appropriate picture.

  • Take Two Surveys 📝
    After building your profile, you’ll take two surveys. These surveys will help the Revel research team unlock the secrets of compatibility and can provide you with personalized insights down the road.  

  • 7 Swipes / Day 👉🏾
    For now, we’ll show you 7 profiles per day. This ensures you don’t run through all your matches too quickly and research shows fewer options = better choices. 

  • Growing Market 📈
    We recently launched to the full U-M student community. If you don’t have many profiles to view, keep checking back! And spread the word about Revel to your U-M friends.
