Tinder: The Dating App EVERYONE's Talking About...............

Tinder. Everyone is talking about Tinder. But what on earth is it? We give you the need-to-know on the new dating app that's taking the UK by storm.

Tindera simple-to-use dating app, launched in the US in September – and now it's taking the UK by storm. 

Online dating works. Fact. According to recent statistics, one in five relationships in the UK now start on the internet, and over 9 million of us are registered with a site. 

So what makes the Tinder app stand out from the online dating pack?

What is it
Tinder’s a kind of modern day 'Hot or Not'. It finds you matches based on your location, then lets you merrily scroll through pictures (no lengthy profiles here), picking the guys that catch your eye – and vetoing that ones that don’t. If you find one who’s into you too, you can start messaging and go from there.

How it works
The beauty of Tinder is its simplicity. It finds your location by GPS then links to your Facebook profile to access your info, so – your first name, age, photos (of your choice) and some of your Facebook preferences. There’s space for a short tag line, too.

It will then find you potential matches near you, (you can narrow it down by searching by age and distance). It’ll tell you if you’ve got any Facebook friends or 'interests' in common – warning: if you’ve 'liked' One Direction ironically, that will count as an interest.

If they take your fancy, you swipe right to 'like' them. If not, go left to 'pass'. If they’ve also 'liked' you – bingo. It’s a match and you can start messaging.
