Getting Started with Rove

Welcome. Here's how to be up and running in about five minutes — and the first things worth knowing as you begin.

Download

Rove is iOS only right now. Search "Rove Dating" in the App Store, or find us at apps.apple.com/us/app/rove-dating.

Android support is on the roadmap. We're prioritizing Apple's verification system first because it's the gold standard for identity and keeping the platform free of fake profiles.

Create Your Account

1. Open Rove and tap Continue with Apple
2. Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password
3. Verify your phone number with the code we send

No email signup. No password to forget. No bots.

Build Your Profile

A strong Rove profile is honest, specific, and shows a life — not a performance.

Photos (3–6)

• At least one clear, current photo of your face
• A mix of angles, expressions, and settings
• At least one full-body shot
• Choose natural over heavily filtered — authenticity reads on Rove

Bio

Share what you actually care about, what you're looking for, and what makes you, you. A few specifics beat a wall of adjectives.

"Raised in Chicago, moved to Salt Lake for the mountains. Climbing, strong coffee, long dinners. Looking for someone who wants a real life together."

Intentions

Rove matches on relationship goals. Choose the one that's actually true:

• Looking for a serious relationship
• Open to dating and seeing where it leads
• Marriage-minded

If your goal changes, update it. Misalignment wastes everyone's time.

Permissions Rove Will Ask For

• Photo Library — to upload profile photos
• Location — to show you nearby matches (optional but recommended)
• Notifications — so you know when a shot arrives or a conversation moves

All are optional except what's needed for identity verification. You can change these anytime in iPhone Settings → Rove.

Your First Day on Rove

• Browse in Discovery. Take your time.
• Take a shot thoughtfully — you have three.
• Read fully before you write. Specifics land.
• Expect silence sometimes. That's part of a real system.
• Move offline when the energy is right. Rove is designed to be left.

The Rove Philosophy

Rove isn't built to keep you on the app. It's built to help you meet someone, clearly and confidently — and then get on with your life together.

Your goal is to meet in real life. Keep it real, move it forward, or free up your shot.
