About this app
HINGE, DESIGNED TO BE DELETED Hinge is the dating app for people who want to get off of dating apps. With profiles that show your personality through text, photos, video, and voice, you have unique conversations that lead to great dates. HOW WE GET YOU OFF HINGE When it comes to online dating, people are so busy matching that they’re not actually connecting, in person, where it counts. Hinge is on a mission to change that. So we built an app that’s designed to be deleted. Here’s how: * We quickly learn your type. You’ll only be introduced to the best people for you. * We give you a sense of someone’s personality. You’ll get to know potential dates through their unique answers to prompts, as well as information like religion, height, politics, dating intentions, relationship type, and much more. * We make it easy to start a conversation. Every match begins by someone liking or commenting on a specific part of your profile. Our latest feature, Convo Starters, offers personalized ideas inspired from someone’s Prompt answers and photos to help you spark engaging conversations from the start. * We want you to feel confident about meeting people in person. Selfie Verification makes it easier for daters on Hinge to ensure that they are who they say they are. * We ask how your dates are going. After exchanging phone numbers with a Match, we’ll follow up to hear how your date went so we can make better recommendations in the future. The app is free to use. Members looking to see everyone who likes them or send unlimited likes can upgrade to Hinge+. To access additional features, including enhanced recommendations and priority likes, we offer HingeX.

App doesn't work. Met and went on dates with lots of girls, still no girlfriend. 2/10
you get like 5 swipes every 24 hrs.... lame
othe than the issue with notification its all good
Nickle and dime for simple functions. Poor filtering and fake profiles. Wate of time.
You put so much information into your account.Just to find out that it's only seeking money from its users awful app
subscription scam
don't know why I'm not getting any match
well I think this app is one of the best , I met a nice girl here so the app is really good. This app is probably the one that you can believe.
Great application for meeting the right person, if you're single would highly recommend you find your soul mate on hinge
depressing experience. nobody talks. I see the same 50 people even if I say no to them. Hinge does nothing to help you, but instead does everything to keep you hooked. Make all questions require a video response. membership is not worth using. fat too expensive for very little, or nothing at all, in return.
This app is inclusive on surface level only. If you're LGBTQIA+, don't bother. You tell it that you're gay, and 9 out of 10 profiles it shows you are straight men.
meh. I get a few matched. nothing great. the terrible thing is - the distance! it says a 100+ miles. it is inherently clear it stopped at 100, if not maybe 150. I live in a remote city in AK. this is not the lower 48 where a 2 hour drive your elsewhere. please make the distance unrestricted- some people DO drive/fly the 350+ miles to see people. I know i have seen people do it. so - gonna download tinder. which sadly is full of fakes. but at least gives an unlimited distance.
