High five for hi-tech dating apps!

Technology has just changed everything; it’s brought up a revolution in the society and every trend and almost all aspect. Technology has never been consistent. It’s been undergoing a facelift almost every now and then for over a decade now.

While it’s safe to say that technology has revolutionised the way we live, it would also be no exaggeration, if one were to say that technology has taken over our love lives too!

With Facebook, Twitter and Instagram gaining popularity, the old ‘love at first sight’ has vanished somewhere. Now, as as soon as we meet someone, first we stalk them on all social media platforms that person is signed up on and then things take place.

After so many tech developments, with smartphones in almost every pair of hands in the world, many ‘dating applications’ have been are developed in the app store, which let you search a suitable person for you based on your interests and location.

So here are some trending Dating applications which have quite good outputs:

Tinder (Android, iOS)

Tinder has attracted a lot of attention, thanks to its easy setup 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.

Adding to this, it will also show common interests between the two person and will also show some pictures.

 

Coffee Meets Bagel (iOS)

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 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”.

 

Hinge (Android, iOS)

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 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.

 

Loveflutter (iOS)

Are you tired of superficial dating profile pics? Loveflutter asks users to lead with a quirky or interesting fact about themselves superimposed over a blurred out image, which only reveals more information if you hold on the prospective match’s profile.

If the factoid piques your interest, you can drill down to discover mutual friends, matching or similar interests and other info to help you decide whether to like or pass. Loveflutter also tries to be a helpful matchmaker with its ‘Suggest A Date’ feature, which recommends quirky places nearby to hold a date from a curated list of locations.

 

Hitch (Android, iOS)

Hitch is quite an interesting application as it lets your friends set up matches for you. Yes, you heard it right.

Once users log in with their Facebook accounts, they can then match their friends together through built-in anonymous chat. All you get is the age and gender of your match, as well as the mutual acquaintance that matched you, along with a short message. If you hit it off in the chat, you can send a Reveal Request to find out more about your match. Whether you’re single and looking for a match or somebody looking to play matchmaker for two friends, there’s something for you to love in Hitch.

So pick up your phone and try your luck out, may be someone waiting  for you there.
