Top Questions
How can I switch between the Dating and Friends sections?
When on the main home page, touch the Friends (Blue), Casual (Green), or Serious (Purple) toggle under the ROVR logo and select the section you would like to swipe in!
Remember, you can only swipe in one dating (Casual/Serious) section at a time!
Back to TopDo the Casual/Serious or Friends sections work differently?
Yes and no. Both the Casual and Serious sections operate the same way (with the exception of the dating focus of course), but the Friends section is slightly different.
When swiping in the Casual/Serious sections your swipes are anonymous, and matches occur when both you and another person swipe right on each other.
In the Friends section, a right swipe will send a Connection Request to be either accepted or declined. These requests can be found under Pending Connections on the Friends section Messages screen!
Back to TopWhere can I find my matches?
From the home page, touch the message icon in the top right. Your matches and their messages are all organized into the same three categories you found them in!
Back to TopHow are my matches and connections organized?
All of your matches and connections are organized into the same sections that you two met in. For example if you connected with someone in Friends, you will be able to communicate with them in the Friends messaging area.
To change messaging sections, touch the Friends (Blue), Casual (Green), or Serious (Purple) toggle under the Messages header.
Back to TopWhy do I need to select Activity Interests?
At ROVR, we are all about redefining connection. Our goal is to create new, strong connections between you and others. One way we’ve found for this to happen is by helping match you with those who share your same interests!
That being said, you can still match with people who don’t share your selected Activity Interests!
Back to TopWhy do I have two separate profiles?
We have a separate profile for the dating sections (Casual/Serious) and for the Friends section in case you want to show different aspects of your personality in the different sections.
Not for you? You can copy your profile between sections easily by activating the “Autofill from Casual/Serious/Friends Profile” Selector at the bottom of the Edit Profile screen.
PS – Word of warning, don’t autofill from the empty profile.
Back to TopI accidentally swiped the wrong way on someone! Can I get them back?
Absolutely, and it’s free! On the home screen, select the “Undo” symbol on the bottom left of the profile picture of your next potential connection or match!
Back to TopEditing Profile
How do I edit my profile?
On the Home page, select the “gear” icon in the top left. Immediately under your profile picture you will find the “Edit Profile” button.
From here you can create two distinct profiles (one for the Dating sections and one for the Friends section) or use the same profile in all sections by using the Autofill feature at the bottom of the screen.

You can select what education and occupation details you want to appear on your profile in the settings under the “Who are you?” page.

Matching and Connecting
Can I choose to have my profile show up only in certain sections (i.e. only dating or only friends)?
Of course, you can use the app however you’d like! From the Settings page, select the section called “Who are you looking for?”
At the bottom , you can turn on/off your “Dating Visibility” and/or your “Friends Visibility. If you have elected to hide your Dating profile, you will not appear in the Casual or Serious section. If you have elected to hide your Friends profile, you will not appear in the Friends section.
You will still be visible to your previous matches, if you have elected to hide one or both of your profiles.
Back to TopHow can I switch between the Dating and Friends sections?
When on the main home page, click the Friends (Blue), Casual (Green), or Serious (Purple) toggle under the ROVR logo and select the section you would like to swipe in!

If you are still without new people to view, you should also take this moment to share the app with your friends!
Back to TopDo I have to match with someone to message them?
Yes, you have to either match with someone or connect with them prior to contacting them.

Back to TopMessaging
How are my matches and connections organized?
All of your matches and connections are organized into the same sections that you two met in. For example if you connected with someone in Friends, you will be able to communicate with them in the Friends messaging area.
To change messaging sections, touch the Friends (Blue), Casual (Green), or Serious (Purple) toggle under the Messages header.
Back to TopUnder Messages, what is the pending connections tab in the Friends section?
Unlike the Dating sections (Casual/Serious) where swiping is anonymous, the Friends section operates on a request-for-connection basis. In other words, when someone swipes right on you in the Friends section, you will see a Friend Request from that someone in this tab.
Here you can view who has requested to connect and confirm or deny the request.
Once connected, you can message each other and get the conversation flowing!
Back to TopWhat are these Icebreakers?
When you first match or connection with someone on ROVR, we will push an Icebreaker to both of you to help get the conversation started! Feel free to have fun with these Icebreakers! Trust us, they were designed to work wonders!
After you and your match or connection both send each other messages, the Icebreaker will disappear.
Back to TopDo I need to use the Icebreakers?
Absolutely not, but they’re there for you when you want to use them. Trust us, they were designed to work wonders!
Back to TopWhat does the star next to my matches mean?
By selecting the star next to a match or connection, you are classifying your selection as a “Favorite.” You can sort by Favorites, Unread, or Recent in the Messages window by selecting “Sort.”
Back to TopAll of my matches or connections have disappeared. How do I get them back?
Try logging out of the app under the Settings page and then logging back in. If this still does not work, try deleting the ROVR app and then immediately reinstalling it and then logging back in.

Back to TopOne of my matches or connections isn’t appearing anymore. What’s going on?
First check to see if you’ve filtered your matches by clicking the “Sort” button on the matches screen, as this will cause your matches to be reorganized. If your match still doesn’t appear, it is likely that the other user deleted their account or opted to remove the match.
Back to TopWill I lose my matches if I delete the app?
No, your profile will stay active, and your matches will remain where they are unless your profile itself is deleted.
