Before Tinder for Android and iPhone was launched, many online services allowed people to find a date online. Most of these services are now struggling because of the immense popularity of Tinder app. Many people believe that Tinder has similar features as Mark Zuckerberg’s college project, i.e., hot or not. When the Facebook CEO was a student at Harvard, he had designed a website that allowed people to rate profile pictures.
Tinder’s powerful UI has made it an addictive app. It also has a large user base. Thus, if someone rejects your profile, you can find a new date easily. Tinder has amazing user statistics. The company had revealed that when this app is running on phones, people use Android swipe gesture for a billion times (there are around 40MN active monthly users).
Tinder users have to log into the app with their Facebook profile, after which this app will search for people with similar interest. Profiles of users located in the same area will be displayed on the screen.
If you are not interested in the suggested person, swipe left. If you’re interested in the person, tap the picture. The major drawback of Tinder is that you cannot search users located in other areas until you subscribe to the Tinder Plus plan that costs around 600 Rs, i.e., 10 dollars per month.
Due to its high subscription charges and the fact that you cannot find users located in different cities, many people use Tinder like apps.
Dating has become much easier in the Android and IOS era, thanks to the cheap internet plans from telecom companies and powerful UI of the mobile operating systems. To find your love, you don’t have to waste your time on the bus stand, college campus or in the local park. Just download any of the below tinder alternatives and find your date in just a few minutes.
If you haven’t found true love yet, you should try your luck with the below apps that are similar to Tinder.
