What is eHarmony?

eHarmony is a free dating website and app that uses an 80-question quiz to match you with potential dates based on your compatibility. Each person you match with is given a compatibility score. The website has dedicated sites for major Australian cities and the app allows you to limit your matches based on your location. You can also choose to connect with people who share similar characteristics to you, for example, people of the same religion or ethnicity or other single parents or seniors.

eHarmony also offers a premium membership that gives you a detailed report and unlocks the full capabilities of its compatibility matching system.
