You can view pictures, receive matches, and send ‘icebreaker’ messages to other members
- eHarmony access
eHarmony Access is another prominent additional feature, which is quite popular with users of all backgrounds. After the subscription period ends for your membership, you can decide to keep some paid features along with some benefits that go along with it.
eHarmony Access is still in the development phases and hasn’t been made available yet to all members of the website.
These are some of the features that you can have even after your paid subscription expires. After cancelling the full paid membership, you will pay less money per month in order to retain some of these extra features.
Subscription plans like eHarmony Access are usually billed to you in single installments but if you have a twelve-month membership, you’ll be able to separate the payments into three installments.
- Datebook
The last feature that is additional and would be useful to eHarmony users is called ‘Datebook.’ If you have an iPhone, it can sync with your calendar in there to keep track of when, at what time, and where your dates will be.
You can add the names of users to your contacts if you so choose to. After you have the date with the person, you can rate them on a scale and indicate whether or not you would be interested in seeing them again in the future.
The ‘Datebook’ feature is integrated with the social networking application called ‘Foursquare’ which can give you good recommendations on bars and restaurants to take your dates to for dinner and/or drinks.
The best part of this additional feature is that even if your date is not an eHarmony member and you met her elsewhere, you can still log the date in your schedule and keep track of the time and date. ‘Datebook’ is a unique feature found on eHarmony which has not been replicated elsewhere as of yet.
How to Pay
eHarmony accepts all kinds of credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc. You will also have the option to use debit cards, which have the Visa or MasterCard logo on them.
If you can’t pay by either credit or debit card, you can use PayPal or Bill Me Later, which are very reliable systems used globally for payments. Whether you’re in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, or Canada, subscription prices for members are going to be very similar even with the differences in the exchange rate.
Mobile Applications
In order to compete directly with competitors such as Match, eHarmony has invested in a full mobile application that is compatible with the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, and other smartphones and tablet devices.
With the official mobile application, you can have the same access to the main website and the main features without losing anything in the process. The only difference is that the layout and design of the mobile device is much simpler and easier to navigate. The usability of the mobile site is basically the same as the main site.
On the mobile application, you can register and sign-up for eHarmony and then be able to take the relationship questionnaires which will help you create the personalized profile. You’ll also be able to see new matches, who visited your profile recently, and send icebreakers along with messages to other users.
You’ll have access to eHarmony mail if you choose to use that service and you can be able to update your profile from time to time. Photos can be uploaded for your profile on your mobile device and you can save those matches and favorite them for when you want to contact them at a later date.
