https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/spark-network-announces-successful-migration-of-edarling-spain-onto-cornerstone-technology-platform-loveos-300897594.html
 
Using a modular approach, loveOS is built on a number of pieces of base functionality, much like an operating system, which enables releases and feature updates to be rolled out very efficiently across multiple brands and locations.

It seems it is full of bugs!

eHarmony was copycatted in several countries like
the online dating sites EliteSingles / SilverSingles in Canada, Australia, USA, UK, Chile, Mexico; eDarling in Spain, German, France, Russia;
also TeAmo in Russia is another copycat of eHarmony;
esync (eSynchrony) in Singapore,
MiMediaManzana in Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Chile, etc.,
Marrily in India
and
LemonSwan in Germany and other countries. 
 
The Five Factor Model aka Big Five normative test used by eHarmony and its copycats, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.

http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/12/spark-networks-lov-investor.html
EliteSingles / eDarling sites are only copycats of eHarmony.
A prospective client will not perceive eDarling / EliteSingles sites as better, superior or different than eHarmony's ones.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/06/about-article-elitesingles-full-of-fake.html
It is also said EliteSingles USA churn rate 87% every 5 months! 

Match Group is 10 times bigger than Spark + Affinitas merge in revenue.
eHarmony is 2 or 3 times bigger than Spark + Affinitas merge in revenue and eHarmony has 750,000 paid subscribers and Affinitas in the range of 380,000.
eHarmony's sites are 3 times bigger in active users and revenue than EliteSingles's sites.
And worse, NYSE:LOV can not beat and will never beat eHarmony Inc. in United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and United States.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/08/coo-von-betreiber-affinitas-im-neuen.html 

eHarmony is a 17+ years old obsolete site. The success rate of eHarmony is less than 10%.
eHarmony is only supported by a big marketing budget and not by serious scientific evidence.
The Big Five normative test used by eHarmony and its copycats, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
Now it is a HOAX, a FRAUD to use it (year 2018)  
The same for eDarling and EliteSingles sites!

http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/10/very-easy-to-copycat-eharmony-but-very.html

Online Dating sites have very big databases, in the range of 20,000,000 (twenty million) profiles, so the Big Five model or the HEXACO model are not enough for predictive purposes. That is why I suggest the 16PF5 test instead and another method to calculate similarity.

For me: eHarmony's NEW color logo is quite similar to Lovoo's logo

eHarmony's logo versus Lovoo's logo!

eHarmony is a 17+ years old obsolete site.  The success rate of eHarmony is less than 10%.
eHarmony is only supported by a big marketing budget and not by serious scientific evidence.
The Big Five normative test used by eHarmony and its copycats, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
Now it is a HOAX, a FRAUD to use it (year 2017)    
Contradictory information from eHarmony and PROOF of FRAUD from the papers they had published using the OBSOLETE NORMATIVE PERSONALITY TEST BIG FIVE.

Lack Of Innovation and Decadence can summarize the Online Dating Industry.
C-Level executives are more worried about their golf scores than their company’s long term strategy and innovations.
C-level executives are cooking barbecues under the water (selling smoke) and not paying attention to latest research from Academics which could be beneficial for the Online Dating Industry.
