Every profile is reviewed by a real person and selfie-verified, there is no swiping, and HOLY is rated 4.7 stars by over 34,000 people. Made by married couple Kathleen & Jonathan.\n\nMEET CHRISTIANS NEAR YOU\nEach day, HOLY introduces you to an inspiring selection of Christians near you, every one of them reviewed by a real person. See someone you would like to know? Wave at them. If they wave back, we connect you both and you can chat.\n\nChoose Dating, Friends, or both. Friendship is not an afterthought on HOLY. Many members join to find Christian friends and community first.\n\nWHY PEOPLE TRUST HOLY\n• Real people only. Every profile is manually reviewed by our team, and every member is selfie-verified. Verification is required.\n• No swiping. Every person is made in the image of God, and the app is designed to treat them that way.\n• Meaningfully paced. Intentional breaks and scripture reminders instead of endless swiping.\n• Independent and community-supported. No ads, no outside investors, no corporate agenda.\n\nGROW YOUR FAITH TOGETHER\n• Read why people say Jesus matters to them.\n• Share your testimony and the Bible verses that inspire you.\n• Profile prompts designed for encouragement, not small talk.\n• Discover people in a similar season of life.\n\nWHO IS HOLY FOR?\nWe welcome everyone who confesses Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and considers themselves a Christian (confessing the Nicene Creed) to join! We seek to connect the greater Christian community, and are united in our love for Jesus.\n\nWhether you are Catholic, Nondenominational, Evangelical, Anglican, Baptist, Reformed, Orthodox, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Methodist, Messianic, or are just at the beginning of your journey with Jesus, you are welcome to join our diverse community of believers!\n\nNote: Christ-honoring dating is only available to those who are single and of age 18 and upward.\n\nENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER\nThis app was inspired by the call to unity (in Ephesians 4 & John 17) and the call to love and encourage one another (in Hebrews 10 & 1 Thessalonians 4). In addition, we were greatly inspired by Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book “Life Together”. Bonhoeffer beautifully describes how we can see Jesus more clearly in the lives and testimonies of our brothers and sisters.\n\n** Winner of both Jury and People’s Choice Awards at NYC Redeemer Presbyterian’s Center for Faith & Work’s Startup Pitch Night. **\n\nSUPPORTER\nHOLY is free to download and use, made possible by members who generously subscribe to our Supporter plan. Supporting HOLY funds the app and its mission, and unlocks extra features:\n• See all received waves in one place.\n• Go back with 48-hour history.\n• Send priority messages.\n• See when your chats are read.\nPrices and durations are displayed in the app. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.\n\nWHO MADE HOLY?\nUnlike most apps, HOLY (formerly United Young) is built and cared for by the two of us (Kathleen & Jonathan), with help from our trusted friend Karen, who looks after support and reviews new profiles. We made this app for Christians to meet and encourage one another in their walk with Jesus.\n\nWe believe it’s more important than ever to share an uplifting word, a prayer, or a testimony with one another. May we remind each other of the eternal hope we have found in Jesus. That’s the mission of this app, and we pray you may find encouragement in meeting fellow believers!\n\nPrivacy Policy: https://www.holy.app/privacy\nTerms of Use: https://www.holy.app/terms\n\nConnected in Christ,\nKathleen & Jonathan\n\nsupport@holy.app · https://www.holy.app","facts":{"developer_id":1278794787,"developer_url":"https://www.holy.app/","first_released":"2018-07-26T02:19:15Z","support_url":"https://www.holy.app/support","privacy_url":"http://www.holy.app/privacy","website_url":"https://www.holy.app/","app_version":"10.8","release_notes":"Thanks for your valuable feedback!
