About this app

Arike is India's first vernacular dating app that is designed to bring Malayalis residing in and outside India closer for one common reason — finding long-lasting relationships. The word 'arike' translates to 'close-by' in Malayalam. So, the app is designed to offer high-intent dating experience that is culturally aligned with Malayali needs. Arike's unique approach to appreciating sensitivities has made it one of the fastest-growing vernacular dating apps in the country.


Features:
Setting Cultural Preferences: Arike appreciates the Malayali cultural nuances and choices that define Malayali ways of living. We have the preference features on the app that is tailor-made to make sure you find what you're looking for in a person. And to help you in breaking the ice, we host a gamut of Keralan pop culture references that you can use in your profile answers — from food to TV shows and cinema.

Send 'Notes': Arike 'Notes' serves as the best kind of conversation starter which lets users express their interest in someone you really like, by writing to them directly. For all we know, you are just an effort away from the right match.

Arike 'Premium': Arike 'Premium' is an in-app paid feature through which you can send more requests and notes, see who sent you requests and unlock more preferences.

Arike 'Select': Arike 'Select' is our latest paid feature with everything you need to find your perfect match quickly. Get all the goodness of 'Premium', plus access profiles in the 'Select' tab with more preferences and send unlimited Notes. If you are looking to meet someone who finds the backwaters of Kerala equally romantic as you do, Arike is absolutely the dating app you should be on.

The chat option in the app is wierd. Whenever the matched person sends a message we only get a notification. When we open the app to see the message it womt be there, infact the chat does not save any of the matched persons chat instead we can only see our side of the conversation. It would be nice if this could be fixed. Otherwise this is a very good app

Hi team, this review is not meant to discourage you .... I just wanted to highlight a couple of issues: while chatting, if I switch to another app and then return, the previously sent messages in the inbox sometimes disappear and I need to navigate back and forth to reload them. Also, recently the app often gets stuck on the splash screen (I don’t think it’s a network issue since other apps work fine on the same device and network). Thank you!! suggestion: need 📎 btn to send pics

I have taken a subscription and next time onwards it's auto debiting. I have cancelled the same day and requested to refund them. They requested invoice details. I have shared that too. it's been 5 days since I have been following up and they are not initiating a refund or responding to my email. i feel like intentionally ignoring the emails

I don't know if this app works. it just shows pictures and we like it or send a note. after that God knows what happens. I bought a premium plan that's a select plus and it's a waste of money. only thing I liked was the logo 😂

very bad, before subscription we got too many request, but after that didn't get any request. and no response above sending notes and no details of request we send and can't see requested persons details anymore. they are big fraud no benefit in subscription and no change in with or without subscription only looting our money biggest scam

This app is a rip off. Does the same tactics as bumble and other to make money... And that too by using our data to make money. I thought that I'll be more affordable as it caters to malayalee subscription, but they are on the same ballpark as other when it comes to the subscription fees. Don't fall for the trap of subscribing just because the app notifies that someone likes you. It's one of the ways to force you into paying.
