Pure is for the adventurous dater who is so over the mainstream options and the endless stream of “Hey’s” on other platforms. If you value anonymity, witty conversations, and getting straight to the point, this app is a breath of fresh air. It’s designed for people who are tired of small talk and want to connect based on their unfiltered desires (which, ironically, you can filter for in the app).

After testing it for a month, my verdict is that Pure is “hot, weird, and way better than Bumble” for finding a connection. The app never asks for your name, and all chats self-destruct in 24 hours. This creates a space for bold, honest conversations that I found were leagues above what I’ve experienced on other apps.
While total anonymity can be a red flag elsewhere, Pure balances it with clever safety features. There’s a Photo Verification Badge you can add to your profile. For those who don’t have it, the “True Photo” request lets you ask for a live photo in your chat to confirm you’re not talking to a bot or a catfisher, which gives some much-needed peace of mind. Plus, the app is completely free for women, which creates a great gender balance and a more active community. It’s an unconventional but surprisingly effective platform (especially if you’re into steamy phone sex with strangers!).

Pure’s safety and security features
Pure’s entire platform is built for privacy, which is its main safety feature. Your profile is anonymous (the app never even asks for your name), chats self-destruct in 24 hours, and photos disappear right after they’re seen. The app also blocks screenshots and notifies you if someone tries to take one. You can even delete your entire chat history from both phones at any time. To protect your identity, Pure registers you with an Apple, Google, or Facebook ID (not your phone number) so they don’t handle your personal data. The company is also rolling out stricter age verification, starting in the UK in response to the Online Safety Act, which uses a face scan and, if needed, an ID check to confirm all users are 18+
