An Insider Look at Happn

For starters, Happn is a free dating application available for download on the App Store. It creates a basic dating profile for you by linking with your Facebook account. There is no need to worry about privacy because the app will never post anything on your Facebook timeline.

The best iPhone and iPad apps for dating

After hooking up your Facebook with Happn, you can now add additional information on your dating profile including the age range and gender of singles that you want to meet.

The app will automatically track your location and will find the places you’ve been at. It will also look for other Happn users whom you’ve crossed paths with. The profiles of these users will be displayed on the app’s timeline with names, photos, professions, and age.

Happn allows you to look at the profiles of singles on your timeline. If you find someone interesting, you can like him or her by tapping the heart icon. You can only send personal messages if the person you liked also liked you back.

You can send a Charm if you want someone to notice you. Women get free Charms but the guys have to buy premium Charms when they used up their free allocations.

The best iPad apps for hookups

The app offers an easy to use interface with a clean timeline. It allows you to customize your profile in any way you want so you will look good on other people’s timelines.

Happn offers impressive privacy features. It will never broadcast your exact address and current location. You can also look at the profiles of other users and remain incognito even if you’ve already liked them. Most importantly, members cannot send private messages to you unless you liked them back.

One of the best features of Happn is the Charm tool. You can use Charm to woo other users and to let them know that you’ve liked them.
