Today’s generation is all about being on the fast track, be it internet speeds or dating for that matter — the main reason for the high demand for location-based dating apps. With a whopping 91 million users swiping every day, there is a massive demand for these apps. To cater to this enormous demand, new dating apps with different features and tools keep popping up.

This wide variety of dating apps makes the process of dating even more tedious as it can get overwhelming to decide which dating app to install. To make it easier for you, here we have narrowed down the choices to seven apps that could replace Badoo for you.

Tinder

Developer: Tinder | Size: 31MB (Android); 128.9MB (iOS) | Price: Free with in-app purchases. Tinder is the king of all dating apps. With almost 57 million users around the globe, Tinder processes 1.6 billion swipes each day. This high demand has helped Tinder match over 20 million people.

Tinder has a modest yet effective user interface. If you like a person, you right swipe, and if you don’t, you left swipe. You can add multiple pictures and also link social media platforms like Instagram. Tinder uses the user’s location and shows other users nearby. You can also add a brief bio about yourself so that people know what you are looking for and what your dating preferences are.

Bumble

Developer: Bumble Holding Limited | Size: 17MB (Android); 122.1MB (iOS) | Price: Free with in-app purchases.

Most of the time, dating apps get overwhelming for female users. Ladies get a lot of attention on these dating platforms, flooding their apps with creepy spams and a ton of likes.

Priyanka Chopra-backed Bumble has a fix for this issue. It allows only female users to initiate conversations. But there is a catch here; they have to start a conversation in 24 hours of the match, or else the match vanishes. Due to this feature, this app has become very popular among female audiences, with about 60% of women users.

Hinge

Developer: Hinge | Size: 18MB (Android); 77.4MB (iOS) | Price: Free with in-app purchases. If you are looking for something serious, Hinge is the app for you. Hinge’s tagline ‘meant to be deleted’ is pretty accurate as it finds people according to your personality. It uses your Facebook friends to find common connections. It also uses geolocation as an extra filter. This means that you won’t be going on a date with a complete stranger. It is excellent for people looking for something serious rather than a casual fling.

The app has a ‘your turn feature’ which reminds users to text back and not ghost their matches. Hinge has one drawback though, because of its filtering system, you get lesser people to swipe.
