If earlier you had to visit cafes, bars, discotheques or clubs, you can do it today without leaving home or even anywhere in the world, installing an appropriate application on your mobile device. Consider the best applications for dating on iPhone and Android devices. At the same time we will determine their pros and cons in terms of using and obtaining a concrete result.

The best dating applications: distribution by subject

Every person who is going to find his soul mate or just acquaintances, initially there are some goals that he pursues. And their diversity can be quite large.

Some use the best dating applications as virtual clients, allowing you to just talk about anything. Others try to go on a romantic date. The most desperate seek for fleeting encounters for one-time intimate relationships.

And for each topic today you can find a huge number of programs that presuppose settings according to specified criteria.

Social networks

Social networks are the most popular means of communication in the Internet community, however, setting the search conditions is somewhat limited. And basically everything here boils down only to finding your friends and virtual communication, creating your own publications, etc. Although, if you install special messengers, supplementing the main programs, you can also agree on something more serious than just chatting in the network.

Naturally, grants in this area are applications like Facebook, Twitter, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and many others.

Specialized Services

More targeted are the best applications for dating (iPhone, "Android" -device is used - without a difference) in the form of special services, sometimes reminiscent of even "Russian roulette".

Such programs are similar to many popular Internet resources, which appeared at the dawn of Internet technologies development, but became more subtle in customization. In terms of partner search, the best apps for dating and chatting sometimes work as a random choice. That is, you just need to click on a special button, confirming that you liked the person.

What is even more interesting, in many of them, initial registration may not be made. It's enough to use an account created in one of the popular social networks.

The most famous mobile programs

The first in the list will be applications for dating and communication, offered to users by the shops and services of AppStore and Google Play (Android Market).

If you specify a search, in the results among the most frequently installed there will appear programs sorted by popularity (rating). Most often dominated by the following:

• Badoo;
• Top Face;
• Mamba;
• LovePlanet;
• Date-me;
• "Photostrana";
• Zosk et al.

Consider the best applications for dating (Android-version, iOS-modifications or any other) in more detail, especially since they work quite the same, regardless of the operating system used. Let's stop at the top three.

Badoo

In the "Best Dating for Dating" category, the Badoo applet certainly takes one of the leading positions. The service is a social network, where you can get acquainted either by the principle of random selection, or (if the user's location is specified or geolocation is enabled on the device), find people near the current location or the location indicated at registration.

Interestingly, Badoo is not only available as a stand-alone program. He has a link to Facebook. "Facebook" users very often invite their friends to make friends.

The interface of the application is quite simple, but when you meet some potential partners, you can not write a message (the program offers to buy VIP status). In addition, the number of exhibited "likes" is limited. The exhausted limit will resume automatically after 24 hours.

One of the drawbacks is that you can see who came to your page, but you can see who you liked - in any case (again, you need to buy a VIP-status). But in your preferences, hobbies, dating goals or the age of the prospective partner, you can put anything. To do this, there are many templates and partitions.

TopFace

The TopFace application is another branch of Facebook and VKontakte, and by popularity it is not inferior to Badoo. Here the dating system is the same.

But this service is rather related to what is commonly called "Face from the cover." Basically here there is only an estimation of photos though to write messages to the liked person too it is possible. In addition, there is the ability to view visitors, users who added you to the "Favorites", find out the location of a person with tracking on a geographic map, etc.

Mamba

The best applications for dating can not do without one more favorite - the service Mamba, which, unlike the previous ones, is already a specialized service intended solely for the search for partners by interest, and not for the evaluation of users by the photo.

There is a full-fledged search system with a choice of several criteria (the purpose of dating, age, hobbies, location, etc.). Annoying interlocutors can be blocked by adding to the "ignore" -list, adding people they like to your favorite contacts, and so on.

If you are added to the list of ignored users, it will be impossible to write to the interlocutor. In addition, some users set special restrictions on certain parameters. Accordingly, you can write to them only after purchasing the same VIP status for money. The program also warns about the inadvisability of sending messages to users who have in the archive more than fifty unread messages. Also, the system issues notifications about new users recently registered in the service, depending on the settings that the user is currently using.

What is most interesting, on its basis, even such services as "Dating Mail.Ru" or an analog of "Yandex" are built. All of them have the same interface and work on the same principle. Therefore, when registering at least one of these services, you can access another using a previously created account. You can also enter by entering a login with a password, used in social networks.

Applications for dating with foreigners

It's no secret that many of our compatriots and compatriots would like to get acquainted with foreigners. Naturally, goals can be completely different, however, according to statistics, most often this is due to marriage (with subsequent travel abroad), a trip to another country as a tourist or assistance in finding a job.

The best applications for acquaintance with foreigners on iPhone or Android are quite diverse. Of the most popular one can distinguish the following:

• Down;
• Tinder;
• Yep !;
• WouldLove 2;
• JustLunch;
• Pure;
• Lovetime, and so on.

Some applications for dating with foreigners on an iPhone or Android-device are designed exclusively to search for sexual adventures (Down), others provide for a quick search for a partner for communication (Tinder), the third are for the business area (JustLunch), the fourth are full dating services for all Cases of life.

And, of course, we can not ignore the recently released mobile application Couchsurfing Travel App for Android and iOS platforms, designed for all those who like to travel.

The essence is that in any country of residence you should get acquainted with a person who is ready to provide accommodation for tourists free of charge. When registering, the user indicates that he agrees with this item and at any time can accept the guest (usually for a day or two).

Service is very useful for those who travel the world, for example, hitchhiking or with a minimum amount of money. But there you can leave comments about the visitors or the host party, which automatically raises or lowers the level of confidence in them.

There are no restrictions on searching or writing messages. The search system can work in two modes: manual and automatic. In the first case, the country or city is assigned by the applicant for housing, in the second, the location service is activated on the mobile device, and the search system itself will determine all users of the network in the specified location. Additionally, you can use a filter to display only those users who are currently on the network.

Instead of the total

It remains to add that not all the best dating applications were considered here, because the popularity ratings for download and installation are initially determined by the system itself in specialized mobile services. On the other hand, users do not stay away, but their preferences are completely different. Nevertheless, even on the basis of virtual markets, it can be concluded that the use of this or that service is convenient (in any ranking the best applications for dating and communication are sorted by the number of downloads).

Messenger programs such as ICQ have not been specially introduced here, as many believe that such applications are just morally obsolete, although they are very actively used as add-ons (like Messenger for Facebook).
