Tinderfor iOS

Tinder offers a platform to scroll through available matches online. By looking at a couple of pictures and reading a short bio, people can swipe one way or another to show that they’re interested in meeting up.

Matchmaking made easy

A mobile dating application that allows you to search through potential matches. You will receive a notification If there is a mutual interest.

Take the hassle out of meeting new people by using this app. Tinder allows you to swipe through profiles, to see who is single and ready to mingle in your area. You can swipe left on your phone screen if you are not interested, right to show interest, or up to use a super like which tells the person you’re really interested. The other person only knows how you swiped, if you both swiped right, and match.

If you find someone who appeals to you, you can click on their photo and see more images that they have uploaded to the app. You will also be able to read a short paragraph on their character.

Online dating apps like Tinder allow you to make a connection. The rest is up to you. Tinder uses your exact location and attempts to match you with people close to you. You can change things like genders of people you want to match with, age range, and distance from your current location. When building your profile, you can import photos for Facebook or your mobile device, which is a nice touch, and you can also display your Top 5 Spotify artists. By connecting your Insta account, you can display more pictures, than just the standard eight on the profile.

If there is a match, either party can begin sending messages and depending on who you match with, there can be a witty one-liner, a super generic hey, or something crude. Another issue with Tinder is that pictures may be several years old, so the person you matched with may not look like the person you are going to link up with. Another problem commonly experienced is bots. In this context they’re a sort of in-app ad that matches with you if you swipe right, the bot then makes a super generic dialogue then offers a third party service that cost you money.

Where can you run this program?

The Tinder application runs on version iOS 12.1.2 and later versions.

Is there a better alternative?

Yes. Although this is a great app in its own right, and more or less pioneered the genre of meet up apps, there aren’t a lot of protection from creeps. By using an app like Bumble, if a female doesn’t message you back within 24 hours, then you unmatch.

Our take

Overall, Tinder is a great app to put yourself out there, and it normally leads to you meeting some pretty interesting people. Although there are alot of people that will rub you the wrong way, overall it’s pretty great.

Should you download it?

Yes. If you’re looking for a way to find someone for a short term fling, or maybe something with a little more substance, then this is a great program to download.
