Description by Ideawise Ltd.(from Google Play)
AN OPEN-MINDED COMMUNITY, NOT JUST A DATING APP
FET is alternative dating for open-minded people: singles, couples and everyone in between. Chat rooms, groups, a forum, local events and lifestyle dating, all in one place. An alternative lifestyle community. No explaining yourself, no judgement.
A REAL COMMUNITY Join groups by interest, follow the forum, post to the newsfeed and get answers from members who have been there. Ask the awkward question. This is the part most dating apps don't have.
CHAT ROOMS AND PRIVATE MESSAGES Live chat rooms to meet people in the open, private messages when you'd rather talk one to one. Chat first, meet when you're ready.
DATING, YOUR WAY Browse profiles, connect with open-minded singles and couples near you, and be clear about what you're looking for. Casual, open relationships, polyamory, ethical non-monogamy (ENM), or something lasting. Your call, stated up front.
DECIDE WHO LEADS Some like to take the lead. Some prefer to follow. Some switch depending on the day. FET is where open-minded people are honest about the dynamic they want, and where clear consent comes first, always.
EVENTS AND MEETUPS NEAR YOU Find local events, community gatherings and workshops. Meet new people in person, at your pace, with people who already get it.
SAFETY AND DISCRETION Verified profiles, discreet settings and a dedicated moderation team. Control who sees you and how much.
WHY CHOOSE FET? - An open-minded community, not just a swipe queue - Chat rooms, groups, forum and local events - Alternative dating for singles and couples, curious or experienced - Say what you want up front, no guessing games - Discreet, verified and free to join

Of course just got a toxic situation and been broken for a long time. And this app has helped me to express myself.
★★★★☆Andy Burgess· Oct 12, 2026
So far, seems like a good app. A few things that bother me though. The app sensors some words. And they tend to be words that are in people's limits section, which uh... is pretty important. Also in the swiping section, there's no way to filter by people who are attracted to your gender. So if you're LGBT, that's pretty frustrating because you have to go into people's profiles to see that most people are straight of course.

Don't bother fed has been caught hiring people to scam you out your money, 95% of profiles are fake, and they will block you for absolutely nothing special when you do follow the rules and regulations and have a paid subscription. This app needs truthful rating because they also hire people to give fake ratings!!!!!!

FAKE APP, DON'T DOWNLOAD!!! I learned the hard way. MetLife listed here is Fake by a 3rd party who wants to charge $19.99/mo. MetLife does NOT have an App, I confirmed with Google and MetLife directly. The ONLY WAY you can use MetLife is through their internet site, NO Apps!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!
