More young people are souring on swiping, even as dating apps maintain a stranglehold on hookup and dating culture. You can use them reluctantly or enthusiastically, but for single folks, it's hard to resist the gravitational pull of the best dating apps.Once upon a time, finding love required going forth into the world and \"putting yourself out there.\" You could ask a friend to set you up, look for other single people at bars, or rely on good old-fashioned luck to find true love (or a quick fling). But nowadays, dating apps let you find a match without leaving your couch.\n SEE ALSO:\n \n The dating app glossary: The A to Z of terms you need to know\n \n \n \nNo matter how you feel about dating apps, you can't deny that many couples now owe their relationship to online dating. A 2022 survey from the Pew Research Center found that out of nearly 6,000 respondents, one in 10 partnered adults (those who were married, in a long-term relationship, or living together) met through a dating app. For adults under 30 and members of the LGBTQ+ community, 20 to 24 percent found their partner on the apps.A dating app for every desireWith so many dating apps, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. While Match Group (Tinder, Match, Archer, OkCupid, Hinge, Plenty of Fish, and The League, among others) continues to dominate the market, you don't have to limit yourself to just one brand when looking for the best dating app. We encourage you to download a few different apps to figure out what you like and don't like (kind of like dating, we guess?).\n SEE ALSO:\n \n How to stay safe on dating apps\n \n \n \nFor example, First Round’s On Me (FROME) is a newer app that's gained popularity for its date invitation feature. Choose a drink, date, time, and venue, and the app will send a personalized invitation to your potential match. Once a date is confirmed, it's locked into both users' calendars, and the in-app chat feature is activated 12 hours before the date.Other apps like Pure cater to people open to ethical, non-monogamous relationships or threesomes. There really is something for everyone, including more traditional dating apps like eharmony, Facebook Dating (think Tinder Lite, for your grandma), and Christian Mingle, which swap endless scrolling for compatibility quizzes and faith-based connections. The best dating apps of 2024To find the best dating app for men, women, LGBTQ users, and folks looking for serious relationships, we swiped, and swiped, and swiped. We put free dating apps through their paces, but also signed up for premium features. We filled out dating profiles and asked our own writers and editors to try these apps in their personal lives. Through hands-on testing, customer reviews, availability (all are available on the App Store or Google Play), privacy checks, and overall user-friendliness, we feel confident we've found the most reliable dating apps.Good luck, babe.","datePublished":"2024-10-21T10:00:00+00:00","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","url":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/","name":"Mashable","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/images\/mashable-logomark.png","width":2400,"height":2400},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mashable\/","https:\/\/twitter.com\/mashable","https:\/\/flipboard.com\/@Mashable","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/mashable\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/mashable"],"description":"Mashable

Group) is a popular dating app for singles who aren't afraid to share their opinions on social and political issues. With 22 gender identities and 12 sexual orientations, OkCupid welcomes people of all gender identities and orientations.</p><p>Plus, with the option to list your pronouns, you'll be more likely to be addressed correctly.</p><h3><strong>Why we picked this:</strong></h3><p>OkCupid is great for people who value inclusivity, want to express themselves authentically, and enjoy a meaningful connection. The site's commitment to offering 22 gender identities and 13 sexual orientations and allowing users to choose their pronouns makes it a welcoming space for all.</p><p>If you're a non-monogamous user, you'll only be shown to — gasp — other people interested in non-monogamy. These are only a few features that give OkCupid a better understanding of the modern dating landscape than its other longtime competitors.</p><p>Users can answer deal-breaker questions about hot-button topics like politics and vaccines to weed out incompatible matches. The algorithm that matches users is based on how similarly they responded to questions during sign-up, giving users a compatibility score and details on where they disagreed.</p><p>According to Michael Kaye, the app's Director of Brand Marketing and Communications, OkCupid used generative AI (ChatGPT) to <a href="https://mashable.com/article/okcupid-chatgpt-questions" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">update its matching questions</a> at the beginning of last year.

women (and <a href="https://mashable.com/article/bumble-nonbinary-users-message-first" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">non-binary users</a>) in the driver's seat. The app's unique selling point from the beginning was that women have to make the first move, so if you're a woman who's tired of receiving unsolicited messages from men on other mainstream dating apps, Bumble could be the solution you're looking for.</p><h3><strong>Why we picked this:</strong></h3><p>Unlike most dating apps, Bumble flips the script, putting the power to initiate contact in the hands of women and non-binary people. This unique feature helps filter out unwanted messages and creepy encounters they often face on other dating apps.</p><p>In April 2024, Bumble released an <a href="https://mashable.com/article/bumble-revamps-the-first-move-opening-moves-and-other-features" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">“Opening Moves” feature </a>that gives women and non-binary people the option to choose a prompt question or create their own message. According to Bumble CEO Lidiane Jones, this was done to alleviate the “exhaustion” many women felt with the “current online dating experience.”</p><p>The app also updated its Dating Intentions section to include “ethical non-monogamy” and “intimacy without commitment.” The 24-hour time limit for responding to matches before they disappear is still in place to encourage engagement and prevent ghosting. And you can still use Bumble Bizz and Bumble BFF to expand your professional and social networks.</p> </div> <div class="py-6 mx-2 border-t-2 border-gray-100"> <div class="flex justify-between

people who are tired of endless swiping on other dating apps and prefer a more curated selection of potential matches. It's also great for those who are looking for a serious relationship, as the app's algorithm focuses on quality over quantity and encourages users to take the time to get to know each other before meeting in person. (Think of it like Elite Singles without the pretentious air.) </p><p>The app's "Ladies Choice" feature empowers women to make the first move and only receive messages from men they've liked. </p><h3><strong>Why we picked this:</strong></h3><p>Grabbing coffee is the <a href="https://mashable.com/roundup/best-dating-sites-for-introverts" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">low-pressure date idea</a> that lets you skip trying to choose a dressy-but-not-too-extra outfit for a concert or a restaurant. Coffee Meets Bagel is like the "grabbing coffee" version of dating apps, aiming to bring an easygoing atmosphere to folks who might just be a little rusty. The now-successful <em>Shark Tank</em> bust is one of those rare dating apps that <em>actually </em>gets decent feedback on Reddit. Every profile shown to men has already been okay-ed by the women, so the chance of getting unsolicited messages from creepy guys (or the worry of being <em>seen</em> as creepy) is less likely.</p><p>Each day, you'll receive anywhere from five to 21 curated matches depending on your gender, preferences, location, and whether or not you're a premium member. The algorithm curates these "bagels" based on your preferences and the bagels you weren't hungry for in the days prior. If you're in the mood to search more once you've gone through suggested matches, you can always check out more users nearby under the "Discover" tag. </p> </div> <div class="py-6 mx-2 border-t-2

Unlike other dating apps, HER is not just an afterthought or an add-on for queer women. It's a space that centers their experiences and allows them to connect with other like-minded people in a fun and meaningful way.</p><h3><strong>Why we picked this:</strong></h3><p>If you're a queer woman looking for love, chances are you've had your fair share of frustrating experiences on heteronormative dating sites. Between straight people looking for threesomes and creepy men pretending to be women, finding a safe and inclusive space to meet potential partners can be tough. That's where HER comes in. Designed by and for queer women, this award-winning app offers a refreshing alternative to mainstream dating sites.</p><p>With a rapidly growing user base of over 4 million, HER is quickly becoming the <a href="https://mashable.com/roundup/best-dating-apps-for-lesbians" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">go-to app for queer women</a> who want to expand their dating pool beyond their existing social circles.

Instead of swiping right or left to match, the app uses geolocation to connect users with nearby guys.</p><p>While the abundance of users can be overwhelming, it also means that there's a large pool of men ready to chat and more. Most users just looking to hook up will tell you that they're not trying to make small talk, and that warning may come in the form of a dick pic.</p><p>That's not to say it's not for relationships — a lot of men do meet their forever person on Grindr — but on the surface, it's a tool for quick, casual encounters. If you're seeking something more serious, you can adjust your filter to look for "dates." Keep in mind, though, that this will significantly decrease the number of potential matches. Grindr is especially useful for men in small towns with a limited queer population as they are more likely to find a connection here than on other dating apps like Tinder or OkCupid.</p><p>That said, in <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/video/grindr-ceo-talks-plans-ai-221903836.html" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body" title="(opens in a new window)">a recent interview</a> with <em>Yahoo!

This is the place to find a local booty call who won't try to text you earlier than midnight. App rules urge you to "pretend like you're strangers afterward," making no-strings-attached the only name of the game here. This super millennial app is a sex-positive, 18+ safe space with some pretty cool art — the blueprint of the truly modern hookup app. Just be sure to communicate your boundaries in your bio.</p><p>Your selfies, bio, conversations, matches, and likes self-destruct every 24 hours, promoting spur-of-the-moment, borderline anonymous hookups. No nudity is allowed in your albums, and any photos sent in messages can't be saved. (As the dry-humored comics on their website state, "Don't talk about your problems. Problems are for therapists. Pure is for fun.") The app will ask for your phone number, but that's to make sure you're a real person. </p><p><a href="https://zdcs.link/7Yykn?pageview_type=Standard&template=roundup&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=PURE&object_type=roundup&object_uuid=00W1jLXi5PkoR986qlOV7Oi&short_url=7Yykn&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Froundup%2Fbest-dating-apps-2024" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body" title="(opens in a new window)">PURE</a> gives all the feels of a sex-based site <em>without</em> the obnoxious naked parts and porn ads everywhere.

it's for:</strong></h3><p>Heybaby is a free dating app designed specifically for people who want to start a family or find a partner who shares their desire to have children in the future. Whether you're ready to have a child now or in the near future, Heybaby is the perfect app to connect you with singles who are looking for the same thing.</p><h3><strong>Why we picked this:</strong></h3><p>Single parents shouldn't have to be worried about dropping the kid bomb on a potential date — because, with the right person, it's not a bomb at all. That's the idea behind heybaby, a dating app specifically for the huge chunk of online daters <a href="https://mashable.com/roundup/best-dating-sites-for-single-parents" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">focused on raising a family</a>.</p><p>With the children stuff given the green light by both parties ahead of time, heybaby makes it easy to move on to other fun aspects of getting to know someone. The minimalist swipe-through questionnaire dives into lots of introverts versus extrovert stuff, plus chill parenting questions like "Dirty clothes are everywhere. What do you do?" and answers like "I can't live like an animal" or "I'm neat, but I'm not a freak."While you only answer three questions at first, the more you swipe through users, the more chances you'll have to "improve your score" with them, which basically means you can answer the questions they have and you haven't. </p><p>Heybaby also has a more intensive verification process than most other apps. Once you've uploaded photos, you send another picture to the app mimicking a pose they show you so they can confirm that your profile photos are, in fact, real. Then, you wait for an email that'll tell you whether or not you've been verified. </p><p><a href="https://mashable.com/article/dating-app-for-parents-heybaby" target="_self" data-ga-click="1"

for people looking for a diverse and active dating pool. Still, unlike most other apps on this list, it's not owned by the Match Group. </p><h3><strong>Why we don't recommend this:</strong></h3><p>With such little focus on details past physique or distance, it's natural to question how the site builds any real foundations. Admittedly, something <a href="https://mashable.com/review/zoosk-dating-review" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Zoosk</a> did worked at one point, as the site keeps a meticulously updated list of <a href="https://about.zoosk.com/en/blog/success-stories/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body" title="(opens in a new window)"><u>couples who met through the site</u></a> with news of new engagements and marriages — but the latest post is from June 2020.</p><p>Still, there's no denying that Zoosk is a zombie land of dead-end profiles and somewhat boring design (that looks straight out of 2009 on its mobile version). We guess some 35 million people use Zoosk because it's <em>easy</em> — there are no long questionnaires required to build your profile, and you have free reign over how to go about approaching matches. But being on the site also feels like witnessing an identity crisis — it's hard to tell if Zoosk wants to be taken as a place for hookups or a place to find something more serious.</p><p>When Zoosk switched from a social media app to a legit dating site, it was more or less in a league of its own. Incorporating "liking" photos and having a similar look to a Facebook feed was super attractive to young, single people... in the early 2000s. The problem is that Zoosk hasn't changed much since then. </p><p><a href="https://mashable.com/review/zoosk-dating-review" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text"

Her ever-growing experience in these categories comes in clutch when making recommendations on how to spend your money during shopping holidays like Black Friday, which Leah has been covering for Mashable since 2017.</p><p>The robot vacuum beat in particular has cemented itself as Leah's main ~thing~ across the past few years. Since 2019, her expertise has been perpetually bolstered by the meticulous eye she keeps on robot vacuum deals and new releases, but more importantly, her hands-on experience with more than 25 robot vacuums tested in her own home. (This number has probably gone up by the time you're reading this.) That at-home testing is standardized through Mashable's robot testing guide — a granular scoring rubric for assessing all aspects of owning and using a robot vacuum on the daily — that Leah created herself.</p><p>Leah graduated from Penn State University in 2016 with dual degrees in Sociology and Media Studies. When she's not writing about shopping (or shopping online for herself), she's almost definitely watching a horror movie, "RuPaul's Drag Race," or "The Office."
