Tinder Reviews 2019

Download the app and sign up using your Facebook profile. This will pull through your age, location and a few profile pictures (these can be changed if you want to use something different), it also means you’ll be able to see if you have friends in common with other users, which is a nice feature that can help foster meetings away from the app and also give you a talking point if you do meet up.

Once you’re decided on which photos you wish to use, write out a short bio, choose an age range between 18 and 80 and choose the distance within which you wish to search. Once that’s all done (shouldn’t take more than two minutes) you’re good to start swiping. To indicate that you are interested in a user swipe right and if not interested you swipe left, if you swipe right for someone and they return the compliment then that is what’s called a ‘match’ and you are now free to message them - pretty straight forward and one of the reasons why the app is so successful. 

Tinders Like Limit - Tinder has a limit to the amount of 'likes' you can dish out in a 12 hour period. Reports are that it is around 100 and when I tested it, I got to 104 over the period of a few hours. If you hit the limit, you will need to wait 12 hours for it to 'reset' back to 0.

Tinder is free to sign up to but now offers 2 paid versions, Tinder PLUS and Tinder GOLD.
Being a gold user allows you to immediately see who has swiped right for you without having to browse through the app’s many users, as well as a few other features which we have outlined below. There’s no doubting this to be a very useful feature but for the extra cost, I'm not convinced.
In my honest opinion Tinder gives you more than enough to work with without having to resort to its paid features.

If you sign up to Tinder gold, you will get the additional features listed below:

If you sign up to Tinder plus plan, you will get the additional features listed below:

*potential savings are based on 6 & 12 months @ the 1 month charge

You have the option to sign up to pay for the extra features of Tinder every month, every 6 months or every 12 months. You will be charged the full amount and can cancel anytime you want. Be warned, if you sign up to 12 months and cancel after 1, then you don't get your money back.

TIP - PLEASE cancel your auto renew if you choose to sign up as you will be charged automatically at the end of your subscription period.

Tinder will prove popular just about anywhere in the UK, so no matter where you are you’ll never be short of potential matches, irrespective of sexual preferences. When signing up, you just need to input your search range and the app will show you all matches in that area.

There’s no getting away from the fact that many people use Tinder for hook-ups, each to their own of course, but if you are looking for something long-term then just make sure and establish expectations early on in the conversation – it’ll save a lot of time.

Try not to judge anyone too harshly for looking for a casual relationship (so long as they go about it in the right way of course). Tinder is very popular amongst millennials (source) many of whom are very career focused and simply don’t have the time for a serious relationship. Likewise, don’t judge anyone looking for ‘the one’ – everyone deserves to find it.

Always do your utmost to stay safe on any dating app, trust your gut and never meet anyone you have even the slightest concerns about. If someone is sending you inappropriate messages you have the option to unmatch them and in extreme cases report them to Tinder. The Facebook feature may provide some level of security, so if you feel necessary, do some digging before meeting with anyone - everyone does it! 

Tinder is the leader in the mobile dating scene and so I wanted to compare it to their closest rival to give some evidence based comparisons and to provide you with an alternative. 

The one true contender to the swipe format at the moment is Bumble. You can see the main differences above or if you are interested, then you can read my in depth Bumble review to help you choose the app that suits you best.

You can download the Tinder app on android or apple, they have also released a desktop version if you like to waste some time at work, I mean during your lunch break! 

The best way to get in touch with Tinder is through one of their social accounts, emails and postal address will be very slow to reply and we couldn't find a phone number to use, please update me if you find one.
