About this app

With over 100 million members, happn is the dating app that lets you find everyone you have crossed paths with; the people destiny has decided you should meet. Like the profiles that catch your eye, get a Crush and most importantly, get together!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

When you cross paths with another happn user, their profile appears on your app. Did someone catch your eye? Like them secretly. We promise, the person will never know, unless they Like you back. Do you want to stand out? Send them a SuperCrush. Now you can send a message before you even get a Crush. And if the Like is mutual, then the Crush is yours! Now you can chat, and we’re counting on you to make that first message memorable. Show off your writing skills!

The happn app is free to download and to use. If you would like access to more features, you can switch to Premium by purchasing a subscription. With Premium, you get access to the list of people who have Liked your profile and you can send SuperCrushes to your favorite profiles so you’re sure to stand out.

CRUSH WITH CONFIDENCE

The happn app is based on the principle of reciprocity: you will never receive a message from someone you’re not interested in. At happn, confidentiality is our priority: your location is never visible to other members, only the places you crossed paths with them are shown. Your geolocation will always be active for happn to show you the users you’ve crossed paths with.

MEET WHEN YOU'RE READY

Never sure when you should ask your Crush on a date? Afraid they might say no? Or are you sick of the pressure when someone asks you out too soon? No more stress. Now you can tell us when you're ready to meet, directly in your chat with your Crush. We'll let you know when they're ready too.

I used this app about a year or so ago and it was bad, but I wanted to give it a shot once again. I got a discount for 50% off and decided to give it another chance. Since I paid for it, I matched with at least one person a day. The only problem is that each one of them are FAKE. And they're super easy to spot, but Happn doesn't do ANYTHING to prevent them. They do not have a "verified profile" feature and let anyone register with any fake photo. Tragic! Don't waste your money like I did!

Hello Fernando, I understand the importance of using a safe app without fake accounts. Your safety is our top priority. We implement profile certification, advanced technology to detect fake profiles, and a 24/7 moderation team. You can also report suspicious profiles directly from the app or contact us at support@happn.com.

Firstly. Notifications are terrible. It posts notifications to check out profiles just to open the app and tell you there's no one in your area. But if someone messaged you, good luck getting a notification. Secondly. The matches here are mostly scams. Two of my matches have completely changed their profile pics to completely different women. Another one was offering escort services. The rest haven't responded. Probably because they didn't get any notification. Definite buyer's remorse

I paid for the premium service and my account got suspended suddenly. I did not even receive an email or any other form of intimation. If an account is being suspended, a reason should be provided or an investigation needs to be done at the very least. Also, the fee for premium has not been refunded even though I paid for 6 months and used less than 2 weeks. This is frustrating experience. Also, I've come across lot of fake profiles in the app.
