Features

The Grade is a female-friendly mobile dating application that holds users accountable for their behavior by using a proprietary algorithm that assigns letter grades to users ranging from "A+" to "F" based on profile quality, responsiveness, and message quality. Users with a grade of "D" or "F" receive a warning and instructions on how to improve their grade, while users who maintain an "F" grade are expelled.

Daters have the ability to appeal the decision, however, re-entry is not guaranteed. By expelling low-quality users who receive an failing grade, The Grade seeks to create a community of high-quality users.
