Top 5 Dating Apps

These apps go beyond traditional swipe-right/left dating practices by providing narrowing tools. Jdate, for instance, caters to Jewish values and connections.

Hinge is designed to facilitate long-term matches through its fun prompts, such as asking whether you would date someone from another political party. Hinge stands out with user-friendly profiles and an in-depth matchmaking algorithm.

Tinder

Onlyfwb is a location-based dating app that enables users to swipe right on profiles they like and left on those they don’t. Users can also select to view profile photos, short bios and linked Instagram and Spotify accounts (if applicable).

Tinder has recently implemented new features to protect users, such as filters to detect inappropriate language such as “Does this bother you?” and “Are you sure?”, and an “easy reporting” function which makes reporting abusive messages much simpler.

Tinder is available free, however a premium subscription model is offered. Tinder Plus and Gold subscribers have access to exclusive features, such as Daily Top Picks (a queue of profiles with matching interests).

Happn

Happn’s platform uses real-time geolocation to pair you up with people you may have crossed paths with, enabling you to either like their profile or send them a FlashNote — their version of messaging. Each day you can send 10 free FlashNotes; for higher response rates consider purchasing a subscription.

Happn targets local users and offers them hope that your perfect partner could be nearby. While its algorithm-based dating approach may not be unique, Happn doesn’t feature lifestyle or interest-based compatibility matching; nor does it support full gender inclusion or pansexual dating options.

Raya

Raya is a high-profile dating app designed to bring together individuals for both romance and networking purposes. As an invite-only service, new members must wait on an acceptance waiting list until being welcomed into its community.

Celebrities are well known to use the app to find romantic partners and casual flings, as well as business networking partners.

Raya stands out from other apps by emphasizing credibility. Users are asked to submit referrals from existing members as a form of validation; and it takes into account work experience, familiarity with other members and any special qualities when reviewing applications. Unfortunately, some users complain about its application process being lengthy or stressful while it can also be costly.

OurTime

OurTime is an ideal platform for singles aged 50 or over who want to find love online. The site provides useful features, such as private messaging and virtual gift delivery; in addition, dating experts provide helpful guidance.

Ourtime makes the registration process effortless for older adults. Users simply need to provide some basic information, including their occupation and education level, in addition to answering some simple questions to assist OurTime in matching compatible partners for them.

This website hosts millions of profiles and can be accessed both desktop and mobile devices. Since it does not verify identities, be wary when communicating with other members.

eharmony

eharmony’s unique approach uses proven psychological and emotional science to get to the core of what you’re searching for in a partner, setting it apart from other dating apps which rely solely on superficial filters such as swipe right or left and use superficial swipe logic for matching purposes. Plus, customer support at eharmony is top notch!

Create your profile and search other users without spending a cent, but in order to view photos and send messages you must purchase a premium membership. Furthermore, there is an excellent FAQ section and support team available that respond quickly if any problems arise.

Change your match preferences several times every day if desired; however, this could lead to lost matches and communications with them.
