\n<\/p>\n

The League<\/a>, the dating app known for its exclusivity, has now officially launched on Android.<\/p>\n

The company\u00a0has been\u00a0accused of elitism<\/a>, though founder and CEO Amanda Bradford has said<\/a> her vision is\u00a0more about creating a service\u00a0that welcomes ambitious women. The app still makes users apply to join, and it screens them\u00a0based on their Facebook and LinkedIn profiles, but it also redesigned last year<\/a> with a bigger focus on events and community.<\/p>\n

The startup\u00a0started out focused on iOS, but for the past four months, it\u2019s been beta testing on Android. It\u2019s\u00a0now officially launched its Android app in each of The League\u2019s cities \u2014 San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy design, The League\u2019s target demographic is incredibly small \u00ad\u2014 we\u2019re only accepting 10-\u00ad20% of users who sign up,\u201d Bradford said in the launch release. \u201cOpening up to Android allows us to double our user base without lowering our acceptance standards, while also increasing diversity of our user base. We can also now finally expand internationally \u00ad\u2014 something we plan to do this spring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judging from those beta testers, Android users on The League are a lot nicer than their iOS counterparts. The company says those users\u00a0reply 76 percent more often, ghost people 63 percent less often and turn their\u00a0online matches into offline dates 24 percent more often. Though maybe that\u2019s because\u00a0the initial batch of users was\u00a0just super-excited to finally join?<\/p>\n
