Matching App for people over 50

Ochanotomo（御茶ノ友） is a wholesome matching app for making friends targetted at people over the age of 50. It suggests users with the same/similar interests who live close to you as potential "ochatomo" (tea friends). If you feel like you want to have tea with that person, press "お茶したい" (I want to have a tea with this person), if not press "ちょっと……" (Not really).
Once the other person clicks "お茶したい" with you, it's a match! You can chat with them on the Chat page.

Ways to help users

Not sure what to talk about with your new ochatomo? Ochanotomo provides "挨拶" (Greeting) and "何話そうかな"(What should I talk about?) buttons which will provide you with prompts for conversation. Similarly, when you want to end the conversation, press "そろそろ..." button. It will give you useful phrases like "そろそろ良い時間ですね。今日は楽しかったです。またお話しましょう" (Thank you for the fun chat, talk to you later) which will help you end the conversation in a pleasant way.

Ochanotomo uses Google's AdMob to show ads and Stripe API to handle payment for premium version subscription.
