It’s 2023 out there, meaning that people are looking for a life partner online more than ever. App developers know this very well, which is why more and more online dating software appear out there for us to install and run. Perhaps the most popular dating app at this time is Tinder, but guess what? That doesn’t automatically mean that it’s the best app, as plenty of people have complaints about it.

Tinder will rapidly give you the opportunity to match with people from your own county and even city if that’s what you want. You can check out a person’s profile to see their interests, hobbies, photos, and desires. Even so, the app has its flaws, and one of them is that the free version offers a limited number of profiles that you can see. Furthermore, some of those profiles are fake, whether the devs are willing to admit it or not.

Therefore, are there any better online dating apps than Tinder out there that we can use? Let’s try to find out:

Hinge

Let’s face it: looks aren’t everything, as you still need to find something interesting in the other person’s personality if you want to create a true connection. The devs behind the Hinge app know this very well, which is why they’ve created an app that focuses specifically on such aspects. Hinge tries to make users build meaningful connections, as they are encouraged to engage in conversation starters.

OkCupid

OKCupid also tries to focus on compatibility between users, which is why the app uses algorithms to match users that have something important in common. One major aspect of OKCupid is that this app offers detailed user profiles, as users are encouraged to answer questions about their lifestyles, interests, and personalities. As a result of their answers, the app will generate compatibility scores and match percentages.

Bumble

Bumble is pretty similar to Tinder, meaning that both apps allow users to swipe left or right on possible Matches. One of the unique and amusing features of Bumble is that only women can start conversations in a match, as the developers probably know that the ladies are too assaulted by messages from guys in dating apps in general.

Also, once a match is made on Bumble, users have a limited time to start a conversation. The match will simply expire if no message is sent within the specified amount of time, which is a pretty good feature in case you don’t want your list clogged up with matches whom you never text.

Zoosk

Zoosk is one of the most popular dating apps, as it has been around since 2007. One of the most interesting features of Zoosk has to do with Behavioral Matchmaking, which means that the app uses a unique Behavioral Matchmaking technology that learns from your actions as a user on the platform. In other words, the more you use Zoosk, the more accurate your potential matches will become over time.

In order to make Zoosk understand your preferences better, you can use the Carousel feature, which allows users to rapidly review and like the possible matches.

Coffee Meets Bagel

Coffee Meets Bagel is also a pretty interesting app, as it offers limited daily matches. In other words, this app takes a “slow dating” approach by providing a limited number of curated matches, which are referred to as “bagels” each day. The matching algorithm is also personalized, which is always a plus.

Regardless of what app you use to look for a life partner online, it’s always a ‘must’ to be honest and respectful in your online interactions, not to mention when you meet your match in real life.
