Honestly I am fifty years old and the "Gen Z" theme is much more appealing. The light one at the top of this post is incredibly boring and grey. Grey background, grey buttons, greyed-out photographs. The right screenshot is slightly better with the touch of blue but it's not very saturated. Little thumbnails. A tiny but of color from the image next to "Ready for date night?" but not much.
Hire an artist, get some kind of fun mascot drawn, make some font choices that aren't the same ten fonts that ship with iOS, get them to do some comps of really out-there ideas to make it a fun place to come look for someone to date. Right now it's just the Grey Zone. Come here to look for a grey person to have boring grey dates with. Woohoo.
Change the look now and then. For holidays. Big ones, little ones, local ones, made-up ones. A real-world meeting place would do this, why shouldn't you? Talk to the same artist about doing that.
Hell, even pick a day in the middle of winter to be Grey Dates Day and have a monochrome skin for laughs. Whatever. Get some color and whimsey in there.
(The post ends with "we're hiring a creative director" so I guess they're kinda looking for an artist now.)
