Reviewing blk, a dating app, from a software developer perspective

I am reviewing the dating app called BLK. As a software engineer, I find myself always critiquing apps and wondering how they could be better. BLK is an online dating app, focused on black singles looking for a relationship.

When I started using this dating app, I found many things I did not like about it. In this video, I walk you through the app, go over the profile, matching and messages sections. I also, give you some suggestions for improvement.

Thank you for watching :)

💁🏾‍♀️ Who Am I:
Greetings, my name is Tiffany! I have been a Software Engineer since 2017. I have mostly focused on backend engineering specifically using PHP/Laravel and MySQL. I enjoy the journey of learning, contributing to making a better product and working with a great team.
I first learned about code back in 2009 but didn’t really understand the entire tech field at the time. Later on, I decided to join a coding bootcamp called Coding Dojo, to improve my tech skills - It definitely was the best decision for me! It was a long journey and I started documenting my journey via youtube.
