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 a happn user, their profile appears on your application. Seen someone interesting? Like their profile in secret. We promise you, they won’t know a thing, unless they find you interesting too. Want to get noticed? Send them a FlashNote. That lets you send a message even before you Crush. And if they Like you back, it’s a Crush! Now you can chat: we’re counting on you to find the best opening line and hone your writing skills!

The happn app is free to download and use. If you want more advantages, you can subscribe to Premium. That gives you access to the list of people who have Liked you or to plenty of FlashNotes to contact your favourite people and get noticed.

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 have crossed paths with them are shown. Your geolocation will always be active for happn to show you the users you’ve crossed paths with.

Ratings and reviews

Its an interesting concept, except I have yet to find anything in the app that's actually supposed to help you find a match, other than where two users just happen to be at a given time. Also, it's incredibly slow to get matches unless you live in a city like New York or Atlanta. Matching was on all day at work for 2 days and as I went to the airport standing around a couple 100 people. For all of that time, I got 4 possible matches (none at the airport either). This app needs improvement.

Basically no one in my area using the app. You can't look for someone a certain amount of miles away or set a distance. You'd have to drive around your limit destination to scope out the area for pings. You can't take a personality quiz to help out with matching pr anything. It's basically useless unless you go for long drives. I do appreciate you being able to set a few of your favorite songs on your profile though.

In theory, this app would be great, but in practice, it is a dead end. Its major obstacles right now are two things. First, it simply doesn't load. It is always hanging on the loading screen, telling you it's getting the profiles of those you've crossed paths with, but never loads. If it ever does, you hit issue two. Second issue is that no one seemingly uses it OR the app is faulty and doesn't find the other users. Either way, it's useless compared to Tinder, Bumble or Hinge.

What's new

We did our Spring Cleaning in the app, and left our winter boots and those bad bugs in the closet!
