Tinder is the classic swipe-based dating app — Like, Nope, or Super Like one profile at a time from a card stack. Profiles feature up to 9 photos, a bio, written prompts, and lifestyle tags covering everything from relationship goals to sleeping habits. Free users get basic filters (location, age, gender) but nearly all advanced discovery filters require Gold or higher.

What Users Say
Tinder remains the default dating app with the broadest reach. The core swipe mechanic is unchanged, but the feature set has expanded: Double Date (beta) lets friend pairs match together, Passport mode enables global location switching, Tinder U targets students, and Matchmaker lets friends suggest profiles. Photo verification with a blue checkmark is available, plus a unique Photo Verified Chat mode that restricts messages to verified-only. The free tier is functional but limited — likes are capped, and Gold unlocks the bulk of useful discovery filters (bio required, interests, lifestyle tags, family plans, and more). Three subscription tiers (Plus, Gold, Platinum) layer features progressively, with Platinum adding priority likes. Spotify integration shows top artists on profiles. LGBTQ+ signals include Pride stickers and relationship-type tags, though dedicated features weren't visible. The app leans casual but supports serious intent through Looking For tags.
