Dating App Review | Daddyhunt

The Daddyhunt app promises endless hot older males and their admirers. So, in serving our vision to be the most trusted BDSM and Fetish community, we asked writer Sean Lucas to delve deep into the Daddyhunt app for us. Is it more twink than kink? Find out.

Daddyhunt Overview

'Daddy knows best', announces the Daddyhunt app. The brains behind Daddyhunt certainly seem to be on to the big bucks in launching this app. Everywhere you look, younger gay guys are craving the big, strong arms of a hot older male. 

Guys are signing up to Daddyhunt in their droves. This social networking app for all things daddy now boasts some 3.8 million users. That's daddies themselves and their hunters. 

Given that I've recently hit the big 4-0, Daddyhunt seemed promising. Would it be twinks galore? Or a sea of silver specimens chomping at the bit? But, more importantly, I wondered, would Daddyhunt fulfil my kinky tastes? A hot older male isn't necessarily the same as a sexy Dom.

Daddyhunt Visual Appeal | Black and White

The Daddyhunt app icon is enticing but straightforward. A black and white face of a hot older male – complete with a beard. Ok, yes, I thought it was slightly stereotypical in terms of what a daddy should look like – but it drew me in.

The rest of the daddy hunt app also follows the same black and white design. In this respect, it somewhat resembles Scruff. But it was the hot older males who lay in wait for me that I was more interested in.

Daddyhunt Navigation and User Experience

The Daddyhunt app uses the same geolocation software on your mobile device as Grindr etc. Tip: Make sure the location is switched on in your settings. Upon entering the app, a grid of users greeted me – twinks and hot older males who were nearby. The navigation menu is at the bottom of the page and here you can click on 'visitors', 'favourites', 'messages' and the settings to edit your profile.

I began browsing and if you click on the top right-hand corner, you can apply your filters to find that hot older male of your dreams - or that insatiable twink to worship at the altar of all things daddy.
 

Is Daddyhunt Free to Use?

Yes, Daddyhunt is free, but the free version is going to be of precious little use to kinksters. This much became apparent to me when I looked at the search filters. You can search by age or distance. That's it.  

There was, I discovered, only one other way of telling fellow users I was into kink. In the part of 'sexual position' in my profile, I could select 'fetish'. The choices available mirror those in the Scruff app. Far from inspiring.
 

Does Daddyhunt Premium Mean More Kink?

'Go premium and teleport like a boss' the Daddyhunt Premium (paid) membership promises. Interesting choice of words, I thought. 'Boss' perhaps summons up the image of a Dom – for some. But it's all rather ambiguous and open to all manner of interpretations. But looking at what was on offer with Premium upgrade didn't appear to yield much more kink for my cash. Shockingly, without paying you can't even see who has viewed your profile. A significant limitation, I thought.

However, more inhibiting still were the fetish orientated filters Premium membership granted. With Premium, you're allowed to filter with the single word 'fetish'. The same option as you can add to your profile.


Features to be enjoyed - with a premium account.

Daddyhunt Dating App Support 

At first, I couldn't find any links to online support on the Daddyhunt app. However, on the Daddyhunt website, there was a FAQ section. Additionally, there was a contact form you can use to reach out. But with further investigation, I found the FAQ section buried in the 'account' settings section in 'edit profile'. There's also the opportunity to give feedback here. Far too much rootling around for my liking. 
 

Squirt Help and Support

If you need help or support in any way, there's a pretty comprehensive FAQ section, which I found helpful. Additionally, there's an online form in which you can contact customer service.
 

Daddyhunt App Community Feel

Now for the good news! Daddyhunt is big on community. It has a refreshing 'code of conduct' which you're invited to sign up to. The emphasis is on the maturity of a hot older male. Moreover, on the website, it offers videos on various aspects of sexual health. Also available on Facebook and YouTube. 
 

Daddyhunt App Review | Final Thoughts

Is Daddyhunt overflowing with hot older males? Well, it depends on your taste. This user was most disconcerted – if not outright insulted - by the lack of messages he received. Perhaps at 40, I am languishing in gay limbo-land. No longer a twink – but neither a bonafide daddy?

In the twink stakes, this app may well deliver. But in the kink stakes, it falls woefully short. Without widespread options (even when you pay) to state your fetishes, finding a hot older male who shares your proclivities ain't guaranteed!
