HER UK Review 2026
HER is a mobile dating and community app for lesbian, bisexual and queer women and non-binary people. Matching and messaging are free, while communities, posts and events add ways to connect beyond swiping. Premium focuses on privacy, filtering and visibility.
What is HER?
A dating and community app built specifically for lesbian, bisexual, queer and non-binary people.
HER combines swipe-style dating with a queer community feed, local events and group discussions. Profiles include gender, sexuality, relationship intention, photographs and short personal details. Mutual Likes open free messaging, so a subscription is not required to hold conversations.
What makes HER different?
- Specialist audience: The app is designed around lesbian, bisexual and queer dating rather than a mainstream filter.
- Community feed: Members can post, comment and follow queer topics outside the match queue.
- Events: Local and online LGBTQ+ events support social discovery as well as dating.
- Privacy upgrades: Premium adds incognito mode, read receipts, rewinds and advanced filters.
Full HER Feature Review
How matching, messaging, communities, events and Premium work.
1. Profile setup
Members choose gender and sexuality labels, add photographs, write a short bio and state relationship intentions. Specific identity and intention fields reduce ambiguity before matching.
2. Dating feed
The main feed presents nearby profiles for Like or pass decisions. Mutual Likes create a match and open messaging. Free members can use the core match-to-chat journey.
3. Communities and feed
HER includes posts, comments and topic-based communities. This is useful for friendship, local information and meeting people through shared interests, not only direct dating.
4. Events
The events area lists queer social, nightlife and online activities. It gives members a second route to meet people when the local swipe pool is small.
5. Premium
Premium adds advanced filters, incognito browsing, rewinds, read receipts, unlimited swipes and a view of people who already Like you. Platinum is the higher App Store tier and adds more visibility tools.
6. Safety
Members can block and report accounts, control location exposure and use incognito mode with Premium. Early conversations should remain in-app until identity and meeting plans feel consistent.
7. Apps
HER is available in the UK Apple App Store and Google Play. The service is mobile-first; the apps contain dating, communities, events and subscription controls.
Our verdict on HER
The strongest all-in-one dating and community app for queer women in the UK.
HER offers something mainstream apps do not: a dating pool, queer community feed and event discovery in one product. Free matching and messaging make it practical before paying, while detailed identity fields create a more comfortable setup for lesbian, bisexual, queer and non-binary members.
Community posts can make the interface busier for people who want only direct dating, and activity varies outside larger cities. Premium improves privacy and filtering but is not required for real conversations.
Best feature: Dedicated queer dating plus communities and events.
Main limitation: Smaller local pools outside major cities.
Our recommendation: Use the free app first and add one month of Premium only for incognito mode, advanced filters or incoming-Like visibility.
HER prices
Current UK HER Premium subscription terms.
| Premium term | Monthly rate | Upfront total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month | £13.99 | £13.99 |
| 6 months | £11.67 | £69.99 |
| 12 months | £7.33 | £87.96 |
The UK App Store also lists HER Platinum purchases from £19.99. Best value: Premium for one month is the sensible first upgrade because free members can already match and message; the annual plan is cheaper per month for established users.
Free vs paid features
HER keeps matching and messaging free.
Free HER
- Create a complete identity and intention profile.
- Browse and Like profiles.
- Match and exchange messages.
- Use communities and the social feed.
- Browse queer events.
HER Premium
- See who Likes you.
- Use advanced filters and unlimited swipes.
- Rewind accidental passes.
- Turn on incognito mode.
- Use read receipts and extra visibility tools.
Recommendation: start free. Premium is worthwhile for privacy, advanced filtering or a busy incoming-Likes list, not for basic messaging.
Safety and verification
Profile verification, reporting and privacy controls for queer dating.
HER lets members request profile verification by submitting a live photograph that matches the account images. Verified profiles receive a visible badge. Members can report impersonation, harassment, hate speech, spam and underage accounts directly from a profile or conversation.
- Block: Removes contact and prevents the blocked member from viewing or messaging the account.
- Incognito mode: Premium members can limit discovery and browse with greater control.
- Location privacy: HER uses approximate location for discovery and does not need a precise home address in the profile.
- Community moderation: Posts and comments can be reported separately from dating profiles.
Keep early conversations inside HER, never send money or identity documents, and meet in a public LGBTQ+-friendly venue with independent transport.
User experience
A mobile-first mix of dating, communities and queer events.
The dating feed works like a familiar swipe app, but profile identity fields and intentions make the pool more relevant for queer users. Mutual Likes open free messaging, while the community feed provides posts, comments and topic discussions even when a member is not actively dating.
Events are the most useful difference from a standard swipe app: members can discover local and online LGBTQ+ activities and connect through a shared setting. The trade-off is a busier interface, because dating, social posts and events share the same app.
HER is available on iOS and Android. There is no equivalent full desktop dating service, so profile editing, matching, communities, subscriptions and cancellation are handled on mobile.
How to cancel HER Premium
Cancel through Apple or Google Play before the renewal date.
iPhone: open Settings, tap your Apple ID, choose Subscriptions, select HER and tap Cancel Subscription.
Android: open Google Play, choose Payments & subscriptions, open Subscriptions, select HER and cancel.
Paid features remain active until the end of the billing term. Deleting the HER account or app does not cancel the store subscription.
Who should try HER?
Best for queer women and non-binary people who value community as well as dating.
HER is a good fit if:
- You want a dedicated LGBTQ+ dating audience.
- You value communities, posts and events.
- You want free matching and messaging.
- You prefer detailed gender and sexuality options.
HER may not suit you if:
- You want only a traditional profile-search website.
- You dislike a social-feed interface.
- Your area has limited queer app activity.
- You need a full desktop service.
Our recommendation: HER is the first app to try for queer women seeking both dates and community in the UK. Complete the identity and intention fields, use events alongside the dating feed and remain on free access until a Premium feature solves a specific need.
HER FAQ
Direct answers to questions users commonly ask before joining.
Is HER only for dating?
No. HER combines dating with more than 35 communities, local connections and events, so it also supports friendship and queer community discovery.
Who is HER designed for?
HER is built for queer women, non-binary people and trans sapphics. It is not positioned as a general dating service for cisgender men.
Does Premium guarantee safer matches?
No. Paid tools may improve privacy or discovery, but they do not verify another person’s intentions. Use reporting tools, video contact and a public first meeting.
