These Are the Five Dating Apps That Are Killing Tinder

If you’re getting sick of Tinder, then here’s some good news: there are a lot of popular alternatives out there. And it’s about time, since dating apps are now limiting their free services by introducing a premium, paid service. With all of the fake Tinder bots, judgments, and sleazy come-ons, it’ll be easy to ditch Tinder with one of these five dating apps that are catching up to Tinder in popularity. One of these may just be the right dating app to help you find love and happily ever after.

Skout

Like Tinder, Skout lets you read about users and swipe profiles that interest you. Unlike Tinder, though, Skout lets you see the profiles of users who have looked at your profile and favorited you. Also like Tinder, the premium version costs money, but can boost your profile on the app.

Hinge

While Hinge looks a lot like Tinder, it has features that set it apart. For one, it relies on your Facebook friends to help you make connections. Specifically, it connects you with friends of friends after you’ve answered a series of questions that indicate compatibility. Further, if you want to know more about someone, you can ask your Facebook friends for more information. This way you aren’t going in blind on a potential date.

Bumble

Bumble is marketed as a woman-oriented dating app. If a man and a woman like one another’s profiles, the woman controls the interaction and must message the man within 24 hours or the match will be canceled. Bumble also lets people search and meet up with others looking for new friends only.

Happn

The purpose of Happn is to put you in connection with people you’ve seen before, in passing. The app helps you connect with people who were near the same location you were at some point in time. If you like someone and they like you back, you can then start chatting and test the theory of serendipitous encounters.

LOVOO

LOVOO is different from other apps because you can use a radar that helps you find people closest to you. After you find people in your area, you can start chatting with them by sending a message. Other cool features include invisibility mode and unlimited chat results. A major downside of LOVOO, though, is that most of these features are only available with a paid subscription.
