I met my wife on Bumble, it has a bit of a swipe mechanic, but realistically my (now) wife was the only one (out of all the apps) who actually captured my attention and had interesting conversations with.
The conversation was interesting enough to draw me back from all the other conversations that were going nowhere.
I think the point of this app is to try and slow people down and try to spend a bit of time talking with people to get to know them; you've got a whole day to ask about interests, news, adventures, plans, history, etc. rather than "your pickup line wasn't witty enough, next!" or "lets trade witty remarks to each other for the next week, have sex, and never see each other again"
(although arguably you don't want to match with that sort of person. so maybe the real benefit is that they would be filtered out by this app?)
sorta letting people know that they're more than just a profile picture?
Though now I'm trying to think of dating apps that just wouldn't work. Cuffed could totally be the name of a dating app for people on house arrest or out on bail.
