About this app

Hinge, the online dating app designed to be deleted



Welcome to Hinge, the online dating app for people who want to go on their last first date. With profiles and prompts that show your personality through text, photos, video, and voice, you have unique conversations that lead to great dates. Additionally, in 2022, we were the fastest-growing dating app in the US, UK, and Canada. Whether you’re looking to start dating with intention, or you’re unsure about your dating goals, our goal is to help you go on your last first date.

Hinge is built on the belief that anyone looking for meaningful connections should be able to find it. By inspiring intimate, in-person connections, we aim to create a less lonely world. With detailed profiles, meaningful likes and a nobel-prize winning algorithm, dating & relationships are at the core of everything we do.

Hinge is about fostering real relationships built on compatibility and intention. By encouraging thoughtful interactions and helping daters express who they truly are, Hinge makes it easier to find matches who share the same values, goals, and relationship intentions. Whether you’re looking for love or a lasting relationship, every feature is designed to move you beyond casual chats and into meaningful connections that lead to something real.

Hinge is helping to make queer dating a safe space, with LGBTQIA+ specific prompts and a Match Note feature that lets you share information with your date before they match with you. Our safety centre also allows you to block offensive language from incoming likes, and we’ll automatically hide comments we think could be disrespectful.

HOW WE GET YOU OFF HINGE

When it comes to online dating, people are so busy matching that they’re not always connecting, in person, where it counts. Hinge is on a mission to change that so we built a dating app that’s designed to be deleted:

💌 We quickly learn your type. Tell us your relationship type and dating preferences so that we can help introduce the best people to you.

💗We give you a sense of someone’s personality. You’ll get to know potential dates through their unique answers to prompts, as well as information like religion, height, politics, dating intentions, relationship type, and much more.

💘Every match begins with someone liking or commenting on a specific part of your profile. Our latest feature, Convo Starters, offers personalized ideas inspired from someone’s Prompt answers and photos to help you spark engaging conversations from the start.

🫶We want you to feel confident about meeting people in person and going on great dates. Selfie Verification makes it easier for daters on Hinge to ensure that they are who they say they are.

❤️We ask how your dates are going. After exchanging phone numbers with a Match, we’ll follow up to hear how your date went so we can make better recommendations.

For an app "designed to be deleted," I don't seem to have a whole lot of reasons to do so besides the fact that it doesn't work. A year in of using it, I've gotten 1 single match with someone who didn't even converse with me. Tried using Hinge+, and somehow got 0 matches total. I've used Hinge Platinum a long time ago, but paying $50 a month is steep. This app is either free, and it sometimes works, or it's not free at all.

My experience on this app thus far has been mediocre, not too bad or good, but my main issue is the fact that they just changed how the standouts feature works without saying anything. You used to be able to browse standouts at your leisure, but now you get one look at the list and then can't see them anymore. I just casually looked through my list without sending any likes or roses and was abruptly told that I have to wait 14 more hours to see standouts again.

I paid for a 1 month sunscription for $50. The app gives me one "Discovery" match a day that I can actually interact with, all other profiles require you to buy roses to be able to interact at all with them which cost additional money. It's the worst money grab app I've seen, and I've started forgetting to even check it for my 1 match each day bc they're not good. It's a huge waste of money, and I've only been on it for 6 days.
