Thank you to the hundreds of members who completed our member survey. POZ Personals was created with you in mind, and your feedback on the new site is greatly appreciated.

We wanted to share some of the results and let you know what we’re working on next.

One of our goals with the new platform was to improve accessibility across all devices, including desktop, tablet and mobile. The results show we have made progress, but more work needs to be done.

  • 82% gave desktop a passing grade
  • 73% gave tablet a passing grade
  • 68% gave mobile a passing grade

One of the most talked-about topics on POZ Personals is the trolling of members by spammers and scammers. We put in a tremendous amount of effort to keep spam and scams from reaching your inbox. Our efforts continue, but based on your feedback we are doing much better on the new POZ Personals. Here’s what you said about our spam and scam control:

  • 27% It’s great!
  • 36% A big improvement but don’t stop here.
  • 17% Better but still a lot of work to do.
  • 11% A step in the right direction but still a long way to go.
  • 10% Keep trying please. 

We asked you where we should direct future development efforts. We are evaluating your top three choices.

  • More spam control
  • Live text chat
  • Private photos

  1. Enhanced search results
  2. New tools to manage messages
  3. Responsive web platform
  4. New edit and crop photo tools
