Domain Due Diligence
Report for Minder.app
Why we think so?
⚠️ Verdict: Suspicious — minder.app looks like a small but established dating app (historical press coverage exists) with proper technical setup (valid SSL, MX/SPF) and no blacklist hits. However, site traffic is very low and public WHOIS records are missing, and at least one user review and SimilarWeb text suggest domain switching or rebranding to Salams (salams.app). Those signals raise enough uncertainty that you should proceed with caution.
Risk Insights
Low web traffic — verify active presence
- SimilarWeb shows almost no visits except a small spike in Aug 2025.
- Low traffic can mean users primarily use the mobile app or that the domain is no longer the primary property.
- Confirm by checking official app stores and recent app release notes.
Technical setup looks legitimate
- Valid SSL certificate and Cloudflare DNS reduce basic phishing risk.
- Google MX and SPF entries indicate standard email infrastructure.
Contradictory Signals
Good technical hygiene exists, but lack of public registration details and tiny web traffic make it hard to confirm long-term ownership or current active status.
Signal A: Valid technical infrastructure (SSL, MX, SPF) suggesting legitimacy
Signal B: Missing WHOIS and very low traffic suggesting limited traceability or possible migration
Category Scores
Red Flags & Warnings
- Very low and inconsistent traffic (almost zero visits outside one small spike).
- WHOIS ownership data missing in the collected feed, reducing traceability.
- User review and site descriptions suggest domain switching/rebranding (possible attempt to migrate or hide history).
- No site-extracted support email or phone number found by the scraper.
🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis
Identity — WHOIS / ownership
Score: 40/100
Identity — WHOIS / ownership
"The dataset's WHOIS array is empty; without a published registrant name, registration date, or registrar history we cannot fully confirm long-term ownership or any recent transfers."
Reason: WHOIS ownership details were not returned in the collected feed, making it harder to verify registrant identity.
Reputation — news, reviews, complaints
Score: 55/100
Reputation — news, reviews, complaints
"Historic articles (VICE, The Week, Fashion Magazine) support legitimacy; however, at least one user review and search summaries mention domain switching (minder.app → salams.app), which can obscure past negative feedback."
Reason: Mixed-but-established public footprint: press coverage and reviews exist, but some user complaints and alleged domain-switch behavior raise caution.
Technical — SSL, DNS, MX, SPF, blacklists
Score: 75/100
Technical — SSL, DNS, MX, SPF, blacklists
"SSL certificate is valid through 2025-12-26 and uses ECDSA-SHA256; DNS resolves to Cloudflare IPs and SPF includes Google and common mail providers, reducing the chance of simple phishing or misconfiguration."
Reason: Modern technical setup is present: valid SSL, Cloudflare DNS, Google MX and SPF entries; blacklist checks returned no matches.
Content & contactability — site content and support channels
Score: 50/100
Content & contactability — site content and support channels
"Scraper results list Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and GitHub but no direct support email or telephone number; that makes it harder for consumers to verify or escalate complaints."
Reason: Site has social links but the scraper did not find a public support email or phone on the sampled pages, which reduces easy verification.
Legal — trademarks & formal registrations
Score: 60/100
Legal — trademarks & formal registrations
"USPTO search returned zero results for the specific query; absence of a registered trademark is not proof of fraud but means no listed US trademark conflicts were found in this dataset."
Reason: No USPTO trademark matches were found for 'minder.app' in the provided search, which reduces risk of active brand impersonation in the US trademark database.
Your Next Steps
-
1
Check the app listing on official stores (Google Play / Apple App Store) and read recent user reviews and the developer contact listed there.
-
2
Compare domain names (minder.app vs salams.app) and inspect both sites for redirects or official migration notices before signing up.
-
3
If you plan to register or pay, prefer in-app purchase paths on official app stores and avoid sending money directly to accounts listed only on the site.

Search recent app-store and independent review sites (2023–2025) for reports of account fraud, billing disputes, or forced domain changes.

Contact the company via a verified social profile or app-store developer email and ask for corporate/legal info (registered company name, support email, address).
