HER is an award-winning dating app currently accommodating over a million lesbian, bisexual, and queer women in the US. Launched in 2013, the app was originally known as Dattch - an acronym for Date Catch. However, it later rebranded in 2015 to what is now known as HER. In contrast to other dating apps, HER has set itself apart by claiming the tag It is an app made for queer women by queer women. This means that the developers and other stakeholders understood the brand and as a result embraced the minimalist approach for exciting user experience.

HER is available for both Android and iOS, which settles for the majority of devices. The app has a more open approach where the primary intention is to connect lesbian, bisexual, and queer women to their community. This is different for most apps since the goal is usually a simple hook up for the benefit of the business.
