Free dating apps: Mobile dating sites in comparison

Free dating apps for Android and iOS are abundant in the Play Stores. But not all are recommended. We compare five of the mobile flirt portals. Which single exchange offers which possibilities? In our practical tip you can read which app you are using.

Dating app "Badoo" for free flirts

The online dating service Badoo is also available as a Badoo app for Android and iOS. So you have the dating portal with you on your smartphone.

• The average age of the dating service is 20 to 35 years. At 52 percent, slightly more men are active than women (48 percent).
• Registration is completed quickly and you only have to enter a few personal details. Nevertheless, you can freely design your profile and fill it with as much information as you think appropriate and necessary.
• The potential flirt partner can be found on Badoo using a search with various filters. The chosen one can be searched not only for external and character traits, but also with regard to hobbies and other interests. This detailed search enables singles to quickly find a counterpart with similar interests.
• You can write and read all messages in the free version. In addition to this variant, there is also a paid account that gives you more functions. For example, you can see who added you to favorites, contact new members first, and refine your search. Premium membership is available from around 2 euros per month, but is not absolutely necessary.

Love exchange Lovoo with area search

The Lovoo app can be used to search for potential flirt partners in the area.

• The registered people at Lovoo are on average between 18 and 35 years old. With this app too, the proportion of men at 55 percent is slightly higher than the proportion of women at 45 percent.
• Immediately after the short registration, you can use a compass to control the people in your area who are also registered with Lovoo and get to know each other quickly in real life.
• Since you can start immediately after registration, the profile is initially only provided with the most important information. If you don't just want to look for a potential flirt partner in the local area, you can also check your Facebook list and find out which remote Facebook friend is still single. However, this information does not have to be correct, because what matters most is what your friends have given on Facebook.
• In the free version you can send and receive messages to other members. There is only one restriction here: If the potential partner has activated chat filtering, you need a VIP membership. This costs from around 6 euros a month and also enables you to send virtual gifts.

Flirt app Jaumo with optional Facebook link

The Jaumo app has around 2 million German users and is considered a popular dating app. What makes Jaumo special:

• On average, Jaumo members are 20 to 35 years old. At 57 percent, the proportion of men in the single exchange is significantly higher than the proportion of women.
• You can log in to the app quickly and easily and then deactivate the notifications in the settings. If you fill out your profile, you can optionally link your Facebook profile. This saves time and gives your dating partner security. However, you also pass on a lot of private information. New at Jaumo: The provider shows on its own security page how many fake profiles have been detected and deleted.
• The search is very simple and you can start right after you register. When you contact us, you will see the last time your candidate was online. This way you can decide whether it is worth contacting them. This saves a lot of time because you do not have to contact every person who is no longer active at Jaumo.
• The app can be used free of charge. Optionally, you can book an ad-free VIP access. It costs around 5 euros per month.

Tinder for dates, flirts and more

With the Tinder app you can find dates close by. Why the app is worthwhile:

• On average, Tinder users are quite young at 18 to 25 years old. After a simple registration via Facebook or mobile phone number, you can design your profile freely and individually. This takes little time, especially if you choose to use the Facebook link. In this case, the app loads all the data required for your profile creation.
• The search is also easy. With a swipe to the right you indicate your interest, with a swipe to the left you demonstrate the opposite. Only when both people express interest do you have a match and can write messages.
• In the free version you can use Tinder fundamentally. If you want to unlock additional functions, you need the premium version. These are available from around 3 euros per month.

Dating exchange neu.de with attention to details

The single exchange neu.de is mainly known from the Internet. But there is also a neu.de app for Android and iOS, with which you may find your dream partner.

• On average, the registered users at neu.de are between 30 and 50 years old. This means that the average age is significantly above the usual average of the single exchanges. The proportion of men is also somewhat higher at 57 percent.
• Registration is a bit more time-consuming because many details are asked. For singles with serious intentions, this query is just right. The profile is particularly detailed and meaningful.
• The search on the neu.de app is also significantly more extensive. There are many features that can be used to find the potential partner. But this also reflects the quality of the results, because most of the candidates will meet your expectations. Then all that's left is data. Even singles from the immediate vicinity can be tracked down with the app.
• The only drawback: the app hardly offers any free functions. For example, contacting and many other features are not possible without the paid version. The app is in a bad position compared to other dating apps. There is a paid membership at neu.de for about 20 euros per month.

Conclusion: dating apps for different needs

Every app has its own app: Badoo is sometimes suitable for people interested in flirting, Lovoo is interesting for those who want to get to know each other quickly in real life. Jaumo, on the other hand, proves to be a real help when it comes to quickly finding a potential partner. Things look different at Tinder, because the single exchange is primarily sought for quick dates and flirts. At neu.de older semesters who are looking for a serious bond are in good hands.
