Twixxi – A new player in the online dating arena

The free singles community Twixxi is relatively new on the dating market and only opened its doors to the flirting masses in November 2013.

Experience has shown that newcomers have a very difficult time in the highly competitive arena of contact portals, as the big top dogs have high advertising budgets and therefore make competition with them quite tough for smaller operators. New developments therefore have to put in a lot of effort and score points through innovations, attractive special features, specialization or significantly more attractive price structures.

In this regard, Twixxi definitely has something to offer and could get a piece of the cake in the near future if developments are favorable.

In addition, there are always gaps, such as the recent closure of RTL's werkenntwen (wkw for short) network in June 2014 (according to the company due to lack of profitability).

The layout and design

The website appears in a modern and contemporary look and as a visitor you can find your way around relatively quickly. The design is subtle and elegant. Layout and navigation are clear and self-explanatory. The main menu summarizes the most important areas and the loading times are fast, which also suits mobile use of this community.

The reduction to the essentials is also worth mentioning. The visitor is therefore not unnecessarily annoyed with various links, banners or other advertising and can concentrate on flirting.

Functions and features

Twixxi is equipped as standard in the area of ​​core functions for contact exchanges (profiles, search, messages, favorites, etc.). Although there are no groundbreaking innovations to be found here, the common functions are all there and easy to find. You can flirt for free and make friends or initiate more.

Particularly noteworthy on this website is the free cam chat , which makes it very easy to get in direct contact with interested singles without having to send short messages back and forth for days or even weeks. A great feature for aggressive and self-confident singles.

With these single chats it is also possible to chat with several people at the same time. At the same time, it is possible to interrupt the picture or switch off the sound if necessary. The blocking function helps with unwanted or disruptive requests.

The platform also has a blog area where members can write publicly viewable posts, as well as a voting function à la (Hot or Not) , a separate area for pictures and videos and an event calendar.

Mobile dating & flirting on the go

The dating app deserves special mention. It is still relatively new, but in addition to a good overview, it already offers a growing community and some useful functions. The interface is simple and intuitive to use.

In addition to a search function, it offers the user various options to draw attention to themselves. The app makes it easy to upload personal photos or humorous videos about yourself and share them with the community. This can increase interest in yourself.

Costs & Fees

The use of the site is completely free. You do not take out a subscription and no other fees are charged. According to the provider, no fees will be charged for using the platform in the future. This is very pleasing and makes testing this contact exchange largely risk-free for interested users.

Security, data protection and privacy

The provider undertakes to observe and comply with all statutory data protection regulations, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). The data protection regulations are explained transparently in the general terms and conditions. Unfortunately, the website does not have SSL encryption.

Costs and prices:

Free of charge all around.

Conclusion:

Twixxi basically has the potential to close the gap in the dating market left by the closure of the wkw platform. The approach is right, even if one or two elements still seem a bit hand-knitted in some places. However, the singles community is still very young and has only been online since November 2013. Accordingly, the number of registered users is still manageable. So it remains to be seen how the network will develop further. As has been seen with many other social networks in the past, the number of new registrations can grow exponentially once critical mass is reached. The voluntary commitment not to charge any fees – neither now nor in the future – can definitely act as a driving force here.

In addition to the development of user numbers and the marketing of the exchange, the decisive factors for whether Twixxi will permanently earn its place in the dating arena can also be the ability to successfully declare war on fake profiles right from the start, the level in the community and to keep it sufficiently high in the cam chat and to take the right steps in the event of abuse by members. This form of sustainable moderation and user management must be financed and often represents a major hurdle for free dating portals.

It can be assumed that there is no large corporation behind Twixxi with high budgets or generous risk capital, but rather a small start-up. The site has become very tidy and it can be a clear sign that the financial interests of the shareholders or owners are not in the foreground here, but rather a philosophy, a real alternative to the glossy paid dating sites of these same corporations to accomplish.

That's why Twixxi has a bonus for us and we hope that the operators - also in the interests of the flirt-loving Internet community - will achieve lasting success and that the further development of the website will be pushed forward. We wish you all the best!
