Tinder sits at the top of popular dating apps on Android and iOS. However, not everyone appreciates an over-crowded app. With so many people on Tinder, it can be hard to make a productive match. For this reason, people search for Tinder alternatives. Moreover, we need Tinder-like apps that are free (good luck finding one). Tinder implemented a controversial subscription fee. But, let us be honest, if you are looking for apps like Tinder for hookups, these apps are good choices too. Here are the top Tinder equivalent apps.
OkCupid
OkCupid has been around for a while. They have a website, Android app and iOS app. OkCupid sets you up by first asking several questions to personalize your account. Furthermore, their algorithm uses the responses to hook you up with people with similar interests. However, just like Tinder, OkCupid has that pesky swipe feature and a subscription fee. Although, the free version satisfies most. And, there is an incognito mode for the sneaky searchers among us. Users can refine searches based on hobbies and more.
Do you like Siri? Too bad you own an Android, right? Not necessarily. There are some excellent Siri alternatives for Android smartphones. And, most of them are way better than Siri. Take a look and tell us what you think.
Bumble
An app created by women tailored for women. Bumble is a unique Tinder alternative given that it prioritizes women. Men are not allowed to contact a woman first. When you match, the female must initiate the conversation within 24hrs. If not, the conversation vanishes forever. Bumble, the Tinder for Women. You can check out their website or download the Android and iOS app.
In heterosexual matches, the woman has 24 hours to make the first move and the man has 24 hours to respond. In same-sex matches, either person has 24 hours to make the first move and 24 hours to respond or the connection expires. Prompting conversation has lead Bumble to the highest post-match chat rate in the industry.
Remember Grooveshark? It was a music streaming site that got taken down due to copyright and DMCA issues. However, if you like such sites and are looking for an alternative, there are other websites just like Grooveshark that are legal, and most are free to use with really affordable pricing schemes.
Happn
Happn is a different kind of Tinder-like stalking dating app. Turn on location services and the Happn app alerts you of other Happn users that you may have bumped into. And, just like Tinder, you have the opportunity to like the matches presented. Moreover, the app has Spotify integration which allows you to send matches some tunes. Happn is available on iOS and Android.
Hey! If you use any of these apps, why not send an emoji to get the conversation started? Whether you’re on iOS or Android, there’s an emoji app that’s sure to have an icebreaker or two to nudge a convo in the right way.
Coffee Meets Bagel
Coffee Meets Bagel or CMB has all the essential Tinder like features. However, every day at noon, you get one match. Only a single match. You then have the opportunity to accept the connection. Once both parties accept the match, you both have a week to chat it up. You can get more matches by liking their social media pages or purchasing some in the app. Find the dating app at https://coffeemeetsbagel.com/
