The Right Stuff , the dating app that extend an alternative to all those other “ woke ” apps , is reportedly experiencing a dearth of users and fresh downloads three months after release . The Daily Beastfirst reported that two disjoined analytics companies have interpret a staggering fall off in downloads since the app came online back in September .
The Beast cited the stiff Sensor Tower , which note that the app generated 40,000 downloads in September . That number has dangle to an underwhelming 11,000 downloads from Nov. 1 to Dec. 20 . Another analytics business firm , Appfigures , reported that there were 44,000 downloads in October , but it ’s rack up a measly 17,000 in the months since .
Gizmodo reached out to The Right Stuff for scuttlebutt on the download number but we did not immediately hear back .

The app wasfirst revealedearlier this year as a speculation co - establish by John McEntee , a former economic aid to President Donald Trump , and promoted by Ryann McEnany , the babe to former White House press secretaire Kayleigh McEnany . McEntee was joined by forgotten face of the Trump age , includingDaniel HuffandIsaac Staltzer . The app ’s been financially stake by conservative tech billionaire Peter Thiel . This is , of course , fabulously ironic since Thiel is anopenly merry military man , and the app restricts any reference of sunny relationships .
McEntee recentlytold Fox Businessthat in its first six weeks the app had 40,000 downloads and 5,000 active users . That ’s consistent with the figures cited by the analytics firms .
The Daily Beast cover that conservative staffers in Washington seem about as concerned as anyone else in this restrictive app . One unnamed aide reportedly said she did n’t know anyone in her circle of friends and confidants who was using the app . Another D.C. staff member secernate the vent that they know of a liberal who managed to get an invite and was able to troll what few user were around . The app limits the people you meet to a 100 - mile radius , fit in to its app computer storage Thomas Nelson Page .
The limitation inherent in both the targeted audience and its design would obviously determine user growth . Its focus on solicit the far right could well call on off anybody who ’s even slightly more moderate . The first ikon you ’re recognize with when loading The Right Stuff ’s internet site is a popup to pre - order “ plunge Your Liberal Boyfriend Oversized hoodies . ” The main marketing energy for the app is centered on being an alternative to all those “ crazy liberal ” apps like Hinge , Bumble , Tinder , or any number of buttoned-down - apt dating site , but it ’s still limited to iOS .
Of naturally , that has n’t stopped the app from promoting itself at the late wintertime conference for conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA where they reportedly hand out their “ dump your big beau ” merch . Themuch - mockedTurning Point is geared toward distribute buttoned-down ideology among youthful people , but it ’s a hard bargain if the only people advertising the mark are controversial figures likeKyle Rittenhouse .

The app has a rating of 2.5 out of 5 star on App Store and somewhere around 1,200 reviews . inspection have sound off there is a general lack of women using it . This is despite the app incentivizing charwoman to get together by offering a gratuitous premium subscription if they invite their friends . McEntee claim to Fox Business that the ratios between men and women are “ skinny ” to half . He also claim most user are between the old age of 23 and 35 .
Of course , in Holy Order to keep up its politically restrictive nature , The Right Stuff is invite - only . According to exploiter reviews , it does n’t reveal its restrictions until after you upload a pic and post drug user info . Not to cite , as Gizmodo haspreviously report , at least one user complained he resolve a command prompt about whether he was at the Jan. 6 rising and got a sojourn from the law . An app voice antecedently deny that they forwarded any user info to law enforcement .
