Planet Theta Review

Calling this a Planet Theta review is rather generous because we’re doing an appraisal of this VR dating app that has yet to launch to the public! So, bear with us. We don’t have all the facts yet, but enough that you’ll get a decent picture of what will come when Planet Theta finally opens its doors for business.

Introduction to Planet Theta

Our greatest challenge in this Planet Theta review is providing enough helpful information to you, the reader, despite the fact this VR dating app is still in beta testing. Yes, Planet Theta isn’t up and running just yet. It was supposed to launch this summer, but the start date has been pushed back to the winter of 2023. So, we’ll do our best to tell you everything we can about Planet Theta based on what we know!

A Brief Overview of Planet Theta’s History and Success

A Virtual Reality dating app, Planet Theta, is set to launch sometime in the later part of 2023, so this probably means at the end of December. It may be the first of the year at this point. A specific date has yet to be given by the creators or developers.

This platform promises an immersive user experience in the fantastical world of Planet Theta. In this surreal virtual landscape, members can interact with one another via personal avatars. Planet Theta uses AI to generate its match suggestions, but there are several interesting matching systems with a more traditional approach that are used here too.

Planet Theta promises to come loaded with some novel features for its premium members, such as sending real gifts to the real-life members behind the avatars and viewing real-life movies in Planet Theta’s virtual theaters. We cannot wait to write more about the specifics of this Horizon Worlds-esque dating app once it launches later this year. It sounds like it could be a game-changer!

Planet Theta‘s Unique Approach to Online Dating

Premium members of Planet Theta can enjoy AI-generated match suggestions with genuine promise. These lists are created using your bio information included in your Planet Theta profile avatar.

But it doesn’t end there. Members can “speed date” in the Microdating Queue to also discover suitable matches. And then there are all sorts of opportunities to connect with your love interests:

• Virtual coffee dates.
• Excursions across the planet (and to other worlds in the Theta universe).
• Going to virtual movies to see real-world films.

Our Ratings

Planet Theta launches this winter, so we’ll craft an overall rating once we’ve officially tried out the platform firsthand. Currently, there’s no possible way to even come up with a rating for the site because no one has used it or experienced what the designers have in store for free or paying members.

We’ll make updates to this section of our Planet Theta review this winter, but here’s an idea of the rating criteria we’ll be looking at when we make our appraisal:

Overall: TBA

Based on what we know about Planet Theta and going off the limited information on what’s expected to be available, let’s review a few of the things we like and dislike about the platform. If you’re looking for an excellent reason to join Planet Theta or a good reason to check out other VR dating apps, consider looking over the following section, even if some of this is conjecture.

What We Like

• Virtual Reality Dates: Members can explore Planet Theta or hop over to other planets for a breathtaking adventure. Among the more memorable features Planet Theta is implementing is for its members to visit virtual theaters with their matches to watch real movies in real-world theaters.
• Sending Real Gifts: Members can send real gifts to their matches to make a date more enjoyable. Planet Theta has partnered with delivery services (Door Dash and others) to ensure members can send memorable gifts to their love interests like meals, flowers, or chocolates.
• Top-Notch Safety Features: Planet Theta uses quantum immune data protection to ensure its members’ information stays completely private. Members can pursue relationships and love connections without worrying if their information is safe.
• Good For Long-Distance Relationships: Planet Theta will not only help out with long-distance connections, but the nature of its virtual landscape can allow members to bond on an emotional level as well as a “physical” level.

What We Don’t Like

• VR Headsets Are Expensive: One of the biggest catches with VR dating is that you must buy an expensive headset or goggles to enjoy the immersive experience. Fortunately, Planet Theta is offering a relatively low cost for its monthly subscriptions, but VR goggles certainly aren’t cheap!
• VR Dating Isn’t Real Life: Dating apps like Planet Theta can be a blessing for people who are shy or don’t meet many people in their day-to-day life. But VR dating can negatively affect some people because you’re not spending time in the real world forging authentic connections and relationships.

Who Is Planet Theta Best For?

Not much is currently known about Planet Theta because it has yet to be officially launched. The date of the app’s release has yet to be determined. However, the VR dating app has released some numbers based on their pre-signups that give us some clues as to the average user age thus far and the breakdown of men to women planning on using the service.

Demographics and User Base

Relationship Types Best Served by Planet Theta

Again, it’s difficult to know precisely what kind of relationships will become popular here once Planet Theta is in full swing. We can imagine that long-distance relationships will thrive here because there’s an ambiguous element of having a “physical relationship” with your match that you cannot have using a standard dating app. You can interact with other members avatars, but there’s no indication that you can feel their touch or anything like that.

We could see Planet Theta being popular with people with escapist tendencies or who are content to never move their online interactions out into the real world. The whole idea of VR dating is still so novel that it’s difficult to know with certainty what peoples’ motivations or goals are for using these sites. Only time will tell.

The Planet Theta’s Compatibility Matching System

Our Planet Theta review wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t cover how the matching algorithm sparks interest between members and fosters love connections. As best we can tell, based on the limited information we have to work with, this is how matching is done at Planet Theta:

Communication Features

At this point, not enough is known yet about specific communication features at Planet Theta. The apparent communication feature we can think of right now is interacting with your match’s avatar and going on exciting adventures.

But there are also ways to talk with your matches when you aren’t exploring Planet Theta or jumping around to other worlds. This information has been shared with the public, but there are no specifics on how these features will work. Once we get more details following the winter launch, we’ll provide you with all the ways you can communicate with your matches.

Planet Theta’s Membership Options

Planet Theta offers two membership plans for its customers: monthly and yearly subscriptions. But because Planet Theta is still in the beta testing phase, more information on the membership cost must be available. We don’t know how much it costs to be a yearly member, but the monthly subscription is between $20 and $25.

Free vs. Paid Memberships

Once Planet Theta launches this winter, they plan on offering a free membership plan which lets newcomers test out the platform to see if they like it. All new members will begin with the free membership plan and can choose to upgrade to the monthly or yearly subscription if they want to commit.

Free Features

• Create an account
• Create an avatar and profile
• Meet other members
• Free VR dates
• Explore Planet Theta

Free members can set up their accounts and create a unique Planet Theta avatar. This serves as their profile to show other singles their personality, interests, beliefs, and overall style. And then, based on what Planet Theta learns about each new member, non-paying app users can get complimentary match suggestions in their Microdating Queue.

In addition, free members can go out on Coffee Dates and VR Dates, discovering the wonderful world of Planet Theta. We’ll see what this all looks like come wintertime, but for now, it seems that Planet Theta is giving their free members a lot of liberties to test out the platform and enjoy quite the immersive experience.

Paid Features

Now let’s go over the perks of being a paid subscriber of the Planet Theta dating app. By upgrading, you’ll have the chance to experience everything that Planet Theta is ready to bless its premium members with. These paid features include the following:

Premium Membership Benefits and Pricing

As mentioned before, not much is known about the subscription plans aside from the fact that Planet Theta offers monthly and yearly memberships. We can only assume that the rest of the pricing information will be released in the winter of 2023.

Auto-Renewal on Membership Plans

Something else we know about the Planet Theta memberships is that they’ll come equipped with an auto-renewal feature. This means that once a monthly or yearly subscription comes to the end of its term, it’ll automatically be re-upped, and the customer will be charged for the new plan using the billing information on file. This feature is designed for the user’s convenience. You won’t have to reapply for a new membership plan manually, giving you more time and energy to focus on connecting with your potential partners or love interests.

As far as turning off this automated system, we have no specifics yet, but we can imagine there will be some disabling function in your account settings that will allow you to turn this feature off. We’ll see once the app launches.

Creating Your Planet Theta Profile

You can find an instructional guide to registering a new account on the Planet Theta homepage. However, since this VR dating platform is still in beta testing, there’s no platform where you can put these steps into practice. However, once Planet Theta gets rolling this winter, you’ll know exactly what to do and what to expect when you register your new account.

Customer Service

There are a few ways to contact the customer support team on the Planet Theta dating app:

Because the app is still in beta testing and has yet to launch for several more months, we have had no opportunity to test out any of these customer support methods. We cannot speak to how good they are, but we already like seeing that there are two direct ways to contact a real person. Planet Theta didn’t just slap up an FAQ page on their site and tell their members, “Good luck.”

Planet Theta’s Mobile App

Launching this winter, the Planet Theta mobile app will be available at the App Store and Google Play. And unlike many other dating apps, Planet Theta has the distinction of requiring the download of two apps: the Companion App and the VR App. One is for the leading dating app, and the other is for your VR goggles.

The Companion App

For the most part, the website and mobile apps are configured the same way. The app design is slightly simplified for the smaller screens of smartphones and other devices, but the matching, browsing, and features are unaltered. This makes it easy to go from using Christian Connection on your desktop to a much smaller device without sacrificing quality!

The VR App

To download the VR app, head over to the Meta Store or the Stream Store. Which location to purchase will depend entirely on which headset you own. For the Oculus Quest 2 headset, you’ll want to download the app from the Meta Store. Download from the Stream Store for all other headset types.
