Ablo App by Match Group (for users: 12+ years old)

"Mr Right or Ms Right" or "the one" or "your soulmate" or a "perfectmatch" does not exist! It will only exist a pool of compatible persons, not more than that.
No online dating site can promise you to find you "Mr Right or Ms Right"  or "the one" or "your soulmate" or a "perfectmatch".
Moreover the person you are looking for does not exist or if it exist, he/she does not want to meet you because your are not compatible.
The Online Dating Industry needs INNOVATIONS, not more bells and whistles.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had USD 273 Million in cash and cash equivalents and had USD 1.3 Billion of long-term debt.
Net loss of USD 9 Million or USD 0.03 per diluted share is driven by the inclusion of USD 92 Million of discrete tax charges related to U.S. tax reform.

For me it is clear they do not want to innovate.
They want to squeeze their big databases to get all the juice (money) from the wallets of the daters.

Total Revenue was USD 343 Million, a 19% increase over the prior year quarter.
   
Operating income was USD 91 Million, flat to Q3 2016, and Adjusted EBITDA increased 12% to USD 120 Million, both burdened by USD 11 Million in expenses related to the Tinder option conversion and exercises.

For me it is clear they do not want to innovate.
They want to squeeze their big databases to get all the juice (money) from the wallets of the daters.

The Match Group is only a collection of old and obsolete online dating sites: Match, Meetic, Chemistry, OkCupid, LoveScout24 (FriendScout24), OurTime, HowAboutWe, PlentyOfFish and many more and all of them are past their primes, reached operating ceiling and they are in decadence.
