Free Dating Site In American In 2016
America is more addicted to dating apps than ever.
New research from the Pew Research Center shows that in the past two years, the percentage of US adults who had used a dating app tripled. But that doesn't mean all dating apps are created equal.
App analytics company Applause recently completed a study of 97 dating apps to see which ones were meeting user expectations. To qualify, an app had to have more than 2,000 reviews across the App Store and the Google Play store.

Applause found that, in general, the most popular US dating apps trailed other apps in quality by 23 points (out of 100). That's a big difference, and perhaps indicates that people take out their dating woes on the apps they use.
But regardless, there were stark differences between popular apps like Tinder, OkCupid, Bumble, and Hinge. We have previously reviewed the major dating apps from both a woman's and man's perspective, but we were surprised which apps did the best in an analysis of user reviews. In particular, Hinge, one of our favorites, did not fare well.
Here is America's ranking of 11 popular dating apps, as measured by Applause:
Hinge's innovation was that it only matched you with your extended social network — friends of friends. The app presents you with around a dozen matches a day for you to swipe yes/no on.
Download Hinge (iOS, Android)
Grindr's mission was to help gay guys meet up, quickly, wherever they were. It quickly became a smash hit, and recently sold a majority stake to a Chinese gaming company.

Zoosk recently had to lay off a third of its staff after being crushed in the market by apps like Tinder. It has features like photo verification, which lets you confirm that your photos are actually you.
Download Zoosk (iOS, Android)
Match was one of the original online matchmaking services, and bills itself as having made the most dates, relationships, and marriages. It is definitely for a crowd that is more serious about finding a lasting partner.

Lulu isn't a traditional dating app, but rather, a girls-only app that lets women rate men anonymously. The men, who are all guys the women know via Facebook, are rated on a scale of one to ten. Their profiles are automatically pulled in when the women they know access Lulu.
Lulu (iOS, Android)
Down is an app that just, basically, shows you who wants to 'get down' with you. It's more explicitly focused on just hooking up than most dating apps, though it has the option to 'get date' or 'get down.'
Download Down (iOS, Android)
Tinder was the app that set off the dating app craze. Its iconic interface lets you swipe yes/no on a series of potential dates. New updates have rolled out features like the 'Super Like' and have put things like your job and education on the front of your profile.
Download Tinder (iOS, Android)
Bumble works like Tinder, you swipe yes/no on a series of matches. But its innovation is that women have to be the ones to message first. This is meant to prevent them from being bombarded with gross messages from guys.
Download Bumble (iOS, Android)
Coffee Meets Bagel shows you only a few matches per day, and aims at a more measured experience. No frenetic swiping or 'game' features, just a few quality matches per day.
Download Coffee Meets Bagel (iOS, Android)
Happn is the hopeless romantic among dating apps, though the concept can sound a little creepy at first. When you open it on your phone, you're greeted by a collection of other users with whom you've physically crossed paths with throughout your day.
Download Happn (iOS, Android)
OkCupid uses a comprehensive profile and a series of questions to determine what 'percentage' you'll match with someone. But on its app, the interface functions much like Tinder, letting you swipe yes/no to people around you.
