LoginIt's still feels like you'll find a more authentic or long-term connection compared to other dating apps like Tinder or Bumble. The constant innovation in features, like voice notes on profiles, makes the dating experience feel more exciting and realistic. It requires the perfect amount of effort, not too much that you feel exhausted going on it but enough that you know people are taking dating more seriously. Honestly, the envy that we get when we hear that someone met their partner in real life is bad. How do people do it? Even worse are the people who claim 'I wasn't even looking' and then end up engaged two years later. But for those of us who haven't managed to find our other half in real life, we've had to turn to dating apps like Hinge. And safe to say, since I downloaded the app, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. There have been some good dates and there have been some awful ones, but the main thing is: there have actually been dates.
Hinge has tried its darnedest to fix online dating. Is the real problem us? Its user base and revenue are growing rapidly, making executives at its parent company, Match Group, speak of it in quarterly earnings calls as they would a favorite child they do, after all, have many, including Tinder, OkCupid, The League, Plenty of Fish, and Match. Hinge is not the biggest dating app in the US; that crown still belongs to Tinder, with Bumble as the runner-up. While Hinge lacks, uh, penetration in rural areas, experts say, it is hugely popular in large cities. It has reached the top of the app download charts in several European markets, where it launched more recently.
