Looking for a partner and can't find one? It would help if you considered using a dating app. Software developers have managed to solve the problem of match-making two consenting adults by creating an online platform for people to meet. As of September 2019, Tinder, one of the most popular dating sites, recorded a whopping 7.86 million users in the US alone. This shows that online dating is rapidly becoming a custom all around the world. So if you haven't been introduced into the system, here are the top five best online dating apps on the internet.

Tinder:

This is the most popular dating app you can find on the internet today. It is estimated that over 50 million people worldwide use Tinder. The app is said to have a wider reach, and as of 2019, Match Group reported an average of 5.9 million subscribers on Tinder. This number is widespread over 190 countries, and the app is also available in more than 40 languages. The app has even brought about several marriages in the USA. However, it's not completely without shortcomings. It's estimated that many tinder users already have a partner, and about 12% are married.

Bumble:

This app is the second most popular dating app, with a user count of about 55 million. Like Tinder, Bumble is also very well known in the US. What really sets Bumble apart from other dating apps is the fact that it lets women make the first move once a match is made to avoid too many messages. Women generally prefer Bumble because of this feature. Even men love it too as it gives them an assurance of someone being onto them, and it also saves them the stress of having to initiate a conversation every time.

OkCupid:

This app operates differently from other apps and is also very popular, especially in the US. In total, OKCupid has more than five million users. The app asks you several questions to determine how well you match with any of its users. It also creates several gender identities and sexual orientations for its user to choose from. This grants users a degree of specificity which increases the chances of being match-made with the exact kind of person you're looking for

Match:

This is also a very popular app, but it's mostly used by relatively older people. According to research by Survey Monkey, roughly 60% od people between the ages of 45 to 65 looking for a serious relationship prefer Match to Tinder. The app is free, but if you want special benefits, you'll have to pay for it.

Plenty of Fish(POF):

This app used to be the most popular app with a huge 90 million user count. The app is still quite popular, and it's known to be the fastest when it came to users connecting. You're more likely to be engaged in your first chat within 24 hours of signing up. The app found out that about forty-four percent of female users turned out to be single mothers and that they find partners 10% faster than the average user.

Here's the best way to sum it up, if you want to connect on a romantic note with someone on the internet, you should definitely consider one of these dating apps. Even if you prefer the old fashioned way, nothing stops you from giving these online platforms a try.
