Critics like to talk about how smartphones, apps and the Internet are responsible for the alienation and disconnect in modern society, but technology is also really good at bringing people together. Just look at dating apps, making connections with those around you as simple as a swipe on you phone. Check out our top 10 dating, hook-up and meet-up apps that will help you find the Right One… or the Right Now.


Tinder

Platform - AndroidiOS  Cost- Free

Tinder has attracted a lot of attention thanks to how easy it is to set-up and use. All you need to do is log-in with your Facebook account, and Tinder will upload your first name your photos, your interests, and your age from your profile to create a Tinder profile. You can then anonymously browse potential matches near you, swiping right if you’re interested in the person you’re currently seeing, or swiping left if you reject them. You can also tap on their profile picture to see any other photos they have, if mutual friends, or common interests you have. If you both swiped right, Tinder will let you know that it’s a mutual thing, and offers to let you send a message, and maybe set-up a date. Tinder’s received positive reviews thanks to its emphasis on privacy and minimal initial emotional investment, since you only find out about the interested ones without the pain of rejection.



Hinge

Platform - AndroidiOS  Cost- Free

Hinge tries to take the awkward randomness out of meeting people online by making sure that it introduces you to people that you share mutual Facebook friends with, hopefully cutting out the creep factor and trying to make sure that you have a good chance of having people, experiences and interests in common. Users log in with their Facebook accounts, enter preferences, sexual orientation, location and age. Every day at noon, the app supplies you with a field of potential matches. And of course, because you know friends in common, you’re both more accountable and less likely to act like jerks when faced with the prospect of real world social blowback.


Coffee Meets Bagel

Platform -  iOS   Cost- Free

If you’re looking to meet interesting new people without having to wade through dozens of profiles and invites from random people, try out Coffee Meets Bagel. At noon everyday the CMB app sends you a “bagel”: a curated match that shares mutual Facebook friends which you can then Like or Pass (with the app learning from your preferences). If you and your bagel both express interest, then Coffee Meets Bagel connects the two of you by a private chatroom that allows you to get to know each other and plan out a date. Other features, such as the ability to view your mutual friends, can be unlocked by purchasing a virtual currency called “beans”.


OkCupid

Platform - AndroidiOS  
Cost- Free

OKCupid has a reputation as being the most popular data driven dating site, and they have the stats to prove it. Their app is basically all the functions of their website in mobile form, including building your profile, checking out and rating other profiles, answering quizzes and chatting up potential dates. A welcome feature is the ability to upload photos from your phone directly to your profile, which means that fantastic photo you took with the tiger from the zoo can be immediately set as your profile picture. Just don’t end up on Fedoras of OKCupid, please.

Match.com

Platform - AndroidiOS  Cost- Free

A venerable presence in online dating, Match.com offers its mobile users a freemium dating experience on Android and iOS. Free users can set up online profiles, upload a few pictures of themselves and then engage in some online flirting with “winks”, and have new matches delivered to them daily. More comprehensive features such as the ability to see who has checked out your profile and liked your pictures can be unlocked by a Match.com subscription. On iOS, Match.com features a new feature called Stream for quickly checking out nearby matches, and a Tinder-like Mixer feature for quickly sending a like or pass on potential dates. Android users can also enjoy new Android Wear integration to search, exchange messages and rate matches on smartwatches.


Plenty of Fish

Platform - AndroidiOS  
Cost- Free


Plenty of Fish is another of the biggest dating sites that has transitioned to mobile. POF boasts sheer numbers, claiming 60,000 new singles in its community every week. The mobile app lets you create and edit your profile, browse through potential matches and message interesting singles nearby. Their app has also adopted swiping for easy sifting through all the matches you get. If you’re someone who believes that dating is a numbers game then dive into the proverbial ocean and see for yourself if there really is Plenty of Fish out there.



Grindr

Platform - AndroidiOS  Cost- Free

Grindr is one of the most successful hook-up apps catering to gay, bisexual and bi-curious men. One of the first to capitalize on geosocial networking, Grindr has become so predominant in gay culture that at some gay social events, it’s far more common to exchange Grindr usernames than Facebook or email addresses. Grindr is free to use and advertisement-supported, but the subscription version, Grindr Xtra, offers ad-free browsing in addition to other features.


Tastebuds

Platform - iOS  
Cost- Free

Where many dating apps use a variety of algorithms and data sets to try to find you an ideal match, Tastebuds works around a simple premise: if you like the same music, then you’re much more likely to get along with each other. Users log in, enter their musical tastes and favorite artists and bands, and Tastebuds does the rest, showing you the profiles of people near you with similar musical tastes, and giving you the option to chat online and perhaps meet up. You don’t even need to limit Tastebuds to dating. Looking for a concert buddy or musical collaborator? Tastebuds also fits the bill.


Down

Platform - AndroidiOS  Cost- Free

Down, formerly known as Bang With Friends, got a lot of buzz last year when it first came out. After logging in with your Facebook account, you then go through your Facebook friends (and their friends) and start tagging which ones you find sexy. If there is a mutual interest, Down will let you know, and then it’s up to you and your friend to decide on what your next step is. Down promises that your interactions with the app will be kept safe and anonymous, and that your Facebook friends won’t know about your choices if you don’t want them to. It’s like passing a note in high school asking if they like you or not, except the question is R-rated.


Pure

Platform - iOS  Cost- Free

Pure (iOS only – Android version coming soon) is an invitation-only app that’s focused on one thing and one thing only – getting you laid. You apply for a membership online stating your email, your city, your gender and what gender you’re looking for. It also asks that you upload your photos. No messaging, no chatting, the only interaction you have with potential matches are exchanges of photos and setting up a date. Like the other apps here, Pure emphasizes privacy and proximity, but also timeliness – the people they match you up with are ready to meet now. If you want to cut to the chase and only want to meet people who are also only looking for a hook-up, then Pure is what you’ve been looking for.
