Dating apps are on the rise and Tinder is leading the movement. With the current statistics suggesting that almost 30% of all committed relationships start online more and more people are willing to give it a chance. So here are a few components you might want to include in your Tinder-like dating application for it to win over the market.
Geolocation. It’s online dating 101 as you don’t usually want to match someone who lives across the globe from you. Or add location adjustments similar to “Tinder Passport” and watch the couples from all around the world mingle without borders.
A strong matching algorithm. Tinder’s algorithm is accused of many nasty things, like giving people scores based on their attractiveness and leaving those “less attractive” ones behind. You may or may not want to invest in a more ethical / less judgemental solution for your own dating app.
Matching. The main difference that sets Tinder apart from other quite successful dating applications like Baddoo is that it’s perfectly consensual. You can only interact with the users who are also interested in you. That’s a good feature for you to consider.
Swipe surge. Tinder swipes have changed our lives forever as “swipe left” is a completely independent idiom by now. Try not to mess things up and don’t confuse your users by changing the game everyone seems to love. Swipe right on the surge!
