5 Best Dating Apps For 2016

It’s become really normal to ask out people and meet them through the social networking dating apps and despite this fact, you ask anyone using them, the first comment that comes out is that it sucks. The reason for it being oodles of app out there in the App Store and only a lot of them are worthy of spending time. The common subjective of each app brings them to a tight spot where they find it hard to offer the users something unique and appropriate which could help them stay in the game.

We have handpicked 5 of the best dating apps which would end up finding a decent date for you however what we can’t promise is that you come across an unwanted pic or a complete loser, most of the dating apps are flooded with such pornographic content. Let’s check out each of these 5 apps.

1. TINDER

The first of all is hands down Tinder. The app which requires you to log in only through your Facebook account. Extracts all your personal information related to your interests and makes them public. It also allows you to link your Instagram account with the Tinder profile. With this basic setup, it then asks for your preferences in the discovery section where it allows you to choose who you see and the distance and age group within which you want to see the people around.It basically uses your Facebook profile to choose profiles which have mutual friends or some common interest with you. You can then either choose to swipe left (Reject) or Swipe Right (Like) on each of the picture that comes up. The game goes on until someone on the other side ‘Swipes you Right’ and when the interest is mutual the app allows you to exchange message. It’s all your talent there on. The app has the most interesting interface in the lot and setting up the profile is painless, which makes it quite interesting. Hence, it is the most popular dating app around and you should be sure enough to find every next kid in your block on the app.

2. OKCUPID

This second app in the category does not require a Facebook profile linking and allows you a create a username and fill out a long profile or else you could sing up using your Instagram profile. There are a set of questions that you need to answer for yourself and also fill in potential answers for you match. This above set up creates a percentile score and finds matches for you based on your compatibility. You have the option of making your answers public or private.You might find the interface cumbersome and in case you do, just use the quick match option which makes things easier for you. It’s agreed that OkCupid has more cons than pros however the app offers more insights into your potential partner. The free version of the app allows you to only see five most recent visitors to your profile.

3. HINGE

Almost similar to Tinder the app offers some other features as well which makes it superior to Tinder. It depends on your Facebook friend list to find your matches. It connects you to friends of friends and not just shows you your mutual friends but also shows you the things in common and it does this by making you answer a couple of questions and the interface of this question answer sessions is just like Tinder, if the answer it ‘No’ just swipe left and if it’s vice versa then swipe ‘Right’.The app offers a human touch which lacks in most of the app, in case you want to know more about the match you can ask your friends in common. Considering this, I believe that this app is not just any other hooking app, it if a more of a dating experience. There are less chance that you will end up coming across any unwanted photos or any pornographic experience. The app restricts you as well and it might happen that you run out of matches wishing 10 minutes of the usage of the app.

4. BUMBLE

Once again, the app builds on similar lines of Tinder just with some restrictions like after a match the girl should text the guy first and is not possible otherwise. So it becomes difficult for guys to connect with the girl unless the girl initiates, other than this the app offers guys a chance to an extent the period of 24 hours by another 24 hours just in case they expect to hear from the girl. In case the association is of the same gender, either of them can message first. This app also requires you to sign up using a Facebook account and hence is prone to more and more scams and spams, you will come across more unwanted stuff.The profiles are concise and by swiping up on a picture it offers you more pictures of the person, unlike the Tinder where you get access to the Spearlike feature in a similar way. The idea of designing the dating app keeping women in mind which would actually be used by the men also pays off. The app clearly states that it users are prohibited from using pornographic content and should respect the other person they come across. This gives the app a sense of maturity and cleanliness. The code of conduct is not such clearly specified in other apps and this makes it stand out in the lot.

In case you liked a person whom you did not want to, no worries, just shake your phone and it gets undone.

5. COFFEE MEETS BAGEL

Coffee Meets Bagel or CMB what is generally called, also allows its users to bet on their Facebook profile. The apps allow you to set up your profile and then sends you a ‘bagel’ per day. By Bagel they mean a potential match, then you have a period of 24 hours to like or pass the Bagel, in case you like it and the person has also like you, you can chat privately. The chat room will expire in eight days irrespective of the fact you guys had a chat or not. The app also allows you to explore and use some other functions after you earn ‘Beans, which you can buy outrightly or by recommending apps to your friends. Apart from the cute name this app has, the app offers an exciting chat for eight days under the pressure to exchange numbers as the chat ends after that. So you guys ova got just 8 days to impress your date and exchange numbers.You can upload up to 8 profile pictures for yourself and it might happen that the Bagels offered by the app may not share the same interest as yours. We used the app and found out it be a bit glitchy at times and we expect it to create a better experience with coming updates.
