At Umbrella Family Law we do more than just provide you with legal advice, we help you start your new life.
There are a variety of Apps out there to choose from, my advice, one at a time, don’t go signing up to every App or platform there is, you will get overwhelmed very quickly! Start with one, give it a go, if you aren’t finding it is working, de-activate that one and try another App.
You will find most Apps work on the ‘swiping’ method – you are presented with a profile, and you swipe left/right/up or down depending on whether you are interested in that person’s profile (be cautious when using too many Apps as a right swipe on one App may be a left swipe on another App!). Most Apps also offer free versions, and I always suggest trying the free version first before signing up for a subscription (however some of the more elusive/niche Apps will require a paid subscription to use).
So where to start?
All four are very similar and offer free subscriptions though what you get in the free subscription depends on the App. Some things to note:
- Tinder is often referred to as the ‘hookup’ App.
- Tinder and Bumble – you can’t message someone unless you both match with the other.
- Bumble – If you match with someone, the female must make the first move and only has 24 hours to do so, following which the make only has 24 hours to respond before the match is gone. However once both people have sent a message, there is no longer a time frame. It is just a way to get the women to start the conversation and ensure matches don’t just sit there without anyone talking.
