7. Rating and Matching System

Geesly uses a 5-star rating system for matchmaking:

How It Works:

• 5-Star Rating = Like: Indicates interest; may result in a match if reciprocated
• 1-4 Star Rating = Pass: User moves to your "seen users" list
• User Score: Each user accumulates a score based on ratings received, affecting profile visibility
• Distance Filter: Only users within 300km (186 miles) are shown. Users beyond this distance will never appear in your feed
• Location Ranking: Users without location data are shown last, after all nearby users have been rated

Matching Algorithm:

Profiles you see are determined by:

• Your preferences (gender, age range, maximum distance, body type)
• User ratings and scores
• Location proximity (within 300km limit)
• Activity and engagement
• Users you haven't seen before

Limitations:

• Hourly Limit: 6 profile ratings per hour (free users)
• Unlock Limit: Spend 20 Corns to rate 6 more profiles immediately
• Monthly Reset: Matches, likes, and seen users reset on the 1st of each month (except active chats and blocked users)
• No Guarantees: Geesly does not guarantee matches, connections, or relationship outcomes

8. Virtual Currency (Corns)

Geesly uses a virtual currency called "Corns" for in-app actions:

Earning Corns:

• 1 Corn per 12 profile ratings
• 1 Corn per rewarded video ad watched (optional)
• Bonus Corns with premium subscriptions
• Purchase Corns via in-app purchases

Using Corns:

• 20 Corns to unlock chat with a match
• 20 Corns to bypass hourly rating limit (unlock 6 more ratings)
• 5 Corns to view a user's full profile details

Important Terms:

• Corns are a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license
• Corns have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash
• Corns cannot be transferred between users
