Explore new ways to date with these 3 apps

Tired of the same old swipe? These dating apps are here to break the mold. Whether you're after friendship, love, or something that defies labels, each app offers its own twist on finding your next great connection – matching through music, sparking missed connections, and creating space for encounters that might not tick the usual boxes.

The right match might be in your playlist. On Turn Up, your favorite songs and artists help you find others who are on the same wavelength. Share your music preferences, sync Spotify to find others who share your taste, and connect over past or upcoming concerts. Break the ice with music quizzes – or create your own to see if you’re really in tune. Choose between friends or dating modes to meet people nearby through music-driven profiles.

Designed for those who color outside the lines, Feeld allows you to self-identify using over 20 gender identities and sexualities. Use the Constellations feature to link your profile with up to five partners, complete with labels like partner, lover, friend, and beyond. Available in more than 20 cities, it’s a space to meet people who share your desires.

What if that stranger you passed was looking for you, too? Happn helps you reconnect with people you’ve encountered in the real world. You’ll see their profile only if you’ve crossed paths – and they’ll only know you’re interested if the feeling’s mutual. Feeling bold? Send a SuperCrush – a special alert to express interest even if you haven’t matched. Before you meet, set up a chat or video call to make sure the vibe is right.
