Frequently asked questions

Krush is a dating app built for the Asian community worldwide. Profiles go beyond photos to cover cultural background, languages, interests, and dating goals, so conversations start with something real. It is available free on iOS and Android.

Krush is built specifically for the global Asian community rather than being a general app with a filter. It favours curated recommendations over high-volume swiping, and every profile shares a cultural story — heritage, language, and what someone is looking for.

Download Krush free from the App Store or Google Play, create a profile that covers your background and what you are looking for, and set your preferences. Setup takes a few minutes and needs no subscription. Everyone then goes through the waitlist, where we verify new members before they start matching.

Yes — everyone joins one. The waitlist is how we verify new members, so that by the time you are matching, the people you meet have been through the same check you have. That is the point of it: it is a trust step, not a queue for capacity. It is free, your profile is kept exactly as you built it, and Krush Plus gets you through it sooner.

Krush runs on iOS and Android phones, downloadable from the App Store and Google Play. There is no desktop version — the app is built for mobile, so you can respond to matches wherever you are.

Krush combines profile verification, AI-assisted moderation, and one-tap reporting and blocking to keep the community authentic. Messaging only opens after a mutual match, so strangers cannot message you unprompted. The Safety and Trust page covers each protection in detail.

Yes. Photo verification is required during onboarding, so every member completes it before they start matching rather than choosing it as an optional badge. Identity verification is also available. Verification helps show that a member resembles their photos, and works alongside moderation and community reporting rather than acting as a guarantee on its own.

Your report goes to the moderation team, which reviews it and acts on behaviour that breaks the community guidelines. You can report from a profile or a conversation, and you can block at the same time — neither requires you to message the person.

Never send money to someone you have not met in person, and treat pressure to move off the app quickly as a warning sign. Keep conversations in the app until you are comfortable, meet in public the first time, and report anything that feels off.

Messaging on Krush only begins after both people have shown interest, which prevents unsolicited messages. Profile verification, moderation, and one-tap blocking and reporting apply to every member, and you decide what to share and when.

Yes. Krush is free to download on iOS and Android, and the core dating experience is free — creating a profile, browsing recommendations, matching, and chatting with your matches. Krush Plus and one-time purchases are optional, for when you want more room to explore.

Yes — once two people have both shown interest, a match is created and you can start chatting without paying. If several conversations are going at once, Hearts let you open more of them, and Krush Plus makes chats with matches unlimited.

Yes. Hearts and Boost are one-time purchases, so nothing sits behind a monthly plan. Hearts cover single actions — sending a Spark, opening a chat, or seeing more users in your recommendations — and Boost gives your profile a lift on its own.

Hearts are a one-time purchase spent on a single action, so you can pay for one thing rather than a monthly plan. They let you send a Spark, open a chat, or see more users in your recommendations. Krush Plus covers Sparks and chats for you instead.

Krush Plus covers Sparks and chats with matches, so those become unlimited. Boost and extra recommendations sit outside the subscription as one-time purchases, so you pick them up only in the moments you want them instead of paying for them every month.

Some of them, yes. Krush Plus opens up your full list of likes and lets you sort them in the order you prefer, which helps when a lot arrive at once. Anyone you have already matched with stays visible to both of you either way.

Krush Plus is the name of the paid subscription. It doubles your recommendations, reveals all your received likes, and opens full event member lists. It also adds unlimited Sparks, Profile Boost, unlimited chats with matches, Undo, advanced preferences, sorted likes, an ad-free experience, and a faster route through the waitlist.

There are some ads on the free plan, and Krush Plus removes them. Ads never appear inside your conversations with a match, and they never affect who you are recommended — that comes from your profile and preferences, not from advertising.

No. You can download Krush and build a full profile without entering any payment details, and plenty of people use Krush that way. If you do subscribe later, billing is handled by the App Store or Google Play, where you can also manage it any time.

A Spark is Krush's version of a super like. It signals stronger interest than an ordinary like and makes you more visible to the person receiving it, so you stand a better chance of being noticed. Hearts cover individual Sparks, and Krush Plus makes them unlimited.

Krush is designed around curated recommendations rather than endless swiping. You see people suggested from your preferences, and a match is created when interest is mutual — the aim is fewer, better-fitting conversations rather than volume.

Recommendations draw on what you put in your profile and preferences — cultural background, languages, interests, dating goals, personality including MBTI, and whether you are open to matches nearby, abroad, or both.

Cover the things someone could actually start a conversation about: your cultural background, the languages you speak, real interests rather than generic ones, and what you are looking for. Profiles that state dating goals clearly tend to attract people who want the same thing.

Krush is built for people looking to form meaningful relationships, and dating goals are part of every profile so intentions are visible early. That makes it straightforward to find people who want the same thing rather than discovering a mismatch weeks in.

Usually it is a thin profile or narrow preferences. Add photos that show your actual life, fill in cultural background and interests so there is something to respond to, state what you are looking for, and widen your distance or age range if you have set them tightly.

You can meet Asian singles near you and internationally, depending on your preferences. The community spans Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino, Malaysian, Indonesian, Indian, and mixed Asian heritage, including diaspora and people living abroad.

Krush is built for the global Asian community and the people who want to build relationships within it. Profiles centre cultural background and shared experience, so the app is most useful if that context matters to how you date.

Yes. Krush lets members choose Man, Woman, or Non-binary, and sexuality options include Straight, Bisexual, Asexual, Demisexual, Queer, Gay, Lesbian, and Prefer not to Say. Members can match with the same gender when their selections and preferences align. Krush does not currently offer pronoun fields or position itself as a dedicated trans dating app.

Yes. Krush supports same-gender matching when it fits the gender and sexuality selections used by both members. Your profile can show gender and sexuality, while dating goals help clarify whether you want a serious relationship, casual dating, friendship, or are open to all.

The Krush interface is primarily in English. Community members speak a wide range of languages including Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai, and language preferences are part of your profile so you can find people you share a language with.

Yes — it is a core part of who Krush is built for. Profiles cover cultural background alongside where someone actually lives, which helps if you are looking for someone who understands growing up between cultures rather than just sharing a heritage on paper.

Your profile is shown to other members through recommendations, and Krush includes privacy-focused profile controls over what you share. You choose which details and photos to include, and you can block anyone at any time.

No. Conversations happen inside the app after a mutual match, so there is no need to share your phone number or social handles before you are ready. Keeping chats in the app also means moderation and reporting tools still apply.

Yes. You can delete your account from within the app. If you subscribed to Krush Plus, cancel the subscription separately through the App Store or Google Play, since billing is managed there rather than by Krush.

Yes. You can set your preferences toward people nearby, and Krush also runs city and country pages covering the local Asian dating scene in places like New York, London, Toronto, and Sydney if you want a sense of the community where you live.

Yes. Cross-border matching is built into Krush rather than being a paid add-on, so you can set preferences toward international matches. It is designed for a community spread across countries — students, expats, and people living away from family.

Krush is available on iOS and Android to the Asian community worldwide, with the largest communities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore, and members across Europe, New Zealand, and the Middle East.

Yes. Krush hosts community events and meetups in some cities, listed on the events page. They are a low-pressure way to meet people in the community in person rather than only through the app.
