About Tinder
Tinder is the world's most downloaded dating app with over 75 billion matches made since launch. The iconic swipe mechanic — right to like, left to pass — revolutionized online dating and remains the fastest way to discover new people in your area.
Profiles showcase photos, a bio, linked Instagram and Spotify accounts, and conversation-starting prompts. Super Likes signal extra interest, and Boosts put your profile at the top of the stack for 30 minutes. Tinder Passport lets you match with people anywhere in the world before you travel.
Free users get a limited number of daily likes, while Tinder Plus, Gold, and Platinum subscriptions unlock unlimited likes, Super Likes, Passport, and the ability to see who liked you. The Explore section features themed events and interest-based matching for more targeted connections.

User Reviews
Love it or hate it, Tinder has the most users which means the most potential matches. I've had great dates and met interesting people I never would have encountered otherwise. The Explore events add a fun twist to typical swiping.
Good for meeting new people when you move to a new city. The icebreaker prompts help start conversations. It can feel shallow since it's so photo-focused, but if you read bios, you can find quality matches. Just be prepared for some dead-end conversations.
