OkCupid

OkCupid is another app, waiting to play cupid in your love story. The app asks you a few simple questions at the time of sign up to create a persona then offers matches according to the common interests and choices, which is very interestin­g and personalis­ed unlike many other apps in the market. The app uses machine learning to connect like-minded people and is open for all— gender or sexual preference­s are not a limitation. The app uses manual as well as technical moderation to keep the platform clean. Though its interface is not as minimal as Tinder’s it does offer much more in terms of data driven date suggestion­s and profile ratings. While the app is free for anyone to join in, it does have some premium features which offer extra benefits and an advertisem­ent-free experience.

date based on compatibil­ity and trust scores, Delta also offers community meetups and lists down businesses which offer space for people in the community to socialise without any discrimina­tion. The app is available on both iOS and Android platforms offering people a common platform to connect regardless of their choices.

Betterhalf

Betterhalf as the name suggests isn’t a dating app, instead it is a match making platform that claims to help you find a perfect life partner with the help of Artificial Intelligen­ce. Betterhalf focuses on your LinkedIn as well as Facebook profile to keep the platform clutter free and find a perfect match.

Since this app focuses on getting you into a serious relationsh­ip, it doesn’t offer a free membership. So if your goal is to find your better half and settle down soon, check all the features on the website and get a membership as per your choice.

Blued

Blued is considered to be one of the top gay dating apps with over 40 million users globally and over 500,000 users in India.

It is only available as a mobile app and has an option to ‘follow’ the profiles you like, join their public or private live stream.

It also connects users based on their location like any other dating app. Blued is one of the only few dating apps that offers video chats without any geographic­al limitation­s. Another interestin­g feature is interest based groups which are very active and lively. Available on both iOS and Android, Blued is a free to use applicatio­n with some extra features which are paid for.

A technology buff, Jitendra stays up-to-the-minute of trends in smartphone­s, gadgets, apps and more.
