Turn Up review
A music-led dating and friendship app for finding nearby people with shared tastes.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
Turn Up is a mobile dating and friendship app for people who want music taste to help shape who they meet. Available on iOS and Android, it helps users discover nearby people through shared musical interests. Profiles can include favorite artists, songs, and genres, and users can choose a dating or friends mode. That makes Turn Up a focused option for music fans open to meeting people through a common interest; it is less suited to someone seeking a dating app whose matching is not centered on music.
Music is part of both profile expression and interaction. Users can create music blind tests, and the app describes three ways to like a profile: take a blind test, send a direct message, or swipe. After connecting, matches can chat. This gives users more than one way to signal interest while keeping discovery anchored in music. The approach may appeal to people who enjoy sharing and comparing musical preferences, but it makes music the defining compatibility lens rather than one detail among many.
Turn Up has a free mobile plan and a Turn Up subscription listed for one month, with a starting price of 14.99. The published pricing describes the lowest displayed one-month subscription price; the price can vary by region and purchase option. The product details do not specify which features the subscription adds, so the free plan is the clearer starting point for someone deciding whether music-led discovery fits. Choose Turn Up if shared music tastes and a choice between dating and friendship modes are central to what you want; consider another option if you want a non-mobile service or a broader matching focus.
