Tinder

What is Tinder like? The model of this online app for blind dates is simple: it gets people who like each other together, thus reducing the risk of embarrassment. The app finds potential matches based on their proximity to you. You just have to swipe right if you like someone or swipe left to say “nope.”

 You see the photos of users who live near you and select those that you’re interested in. What happens when you like something on tinder? If the person you have chosen feels sympathy for you too, then you will continue to communicate directly within the app. Later you may even go on a real date. To start a good conversation on Tinder, make sure that your first massage is friendly and confident. Do not just say “Hi.” Try to impress your match somehow.

 The app has Instagram integration so that you can access other users’ Instagram profiles. The feature Common Connections allows you to see whether you have mutual Facebook friends with a match—a first-degree connection on Tinder. The second degree means that you and your match have two separate friends who happen to be friends with each other.

Starting 15 November you can edit or add more information about your gender on Tinder profile. It proves that everyone is welcome there. The gender options include, for example, transgenders, gender non-conforming users and the option to write in your own term.

Usability 9/10
