Happn

Happn is a unique dating app that differentiates itself by focusing on real-life proximity and connections. It aims to connect users with people they have crossed paths with in their day-to-day lives.

One of the key features of Happn is its use of geolocation technology. The app tracks users' locations and identifies other Happn users who have been in close physical proximity. When two Happn users cross paths, their profiles appear on each other's timelines.

The timeline is a feature that displays the profiles of people you have encountered. It shows the time and location of the crossing, providing a sense of serendipity and giving users the opportunity to connect with someone they may have missed otherwise.

When two users express mutual interest by liking each other's profiles, it creates a "Crush." Only when a "Crush" is formed can users start a conversation and communicate with each other within the app.

Happn also offers additional features to enhance the user experience. For instance, users can purchase "Charms" to send notifications to other users to express their interest, even if they haven't crossed paths. The app also provides a "See You There" feature, where users can post their plans and activities to potentially meet other Happn users who are interested in the same events or locations.

Features:

• Crossed path-based match: The aim of the app is to match the users who have crossed paths. Its location-based mechanism allows the user to see and match the person with whom they have crossed paths recently.
• Invisible mode: This particular feature lets you be invisible for at least 8 hours. Meaning no one will cross your path on Happi for the next 8 hours. Thus, the people you crossed paths with will no longer appear on your Timeline.
• Rewind: While using the app, you might skip the profile for some reason. The premium subscription to the app lets you go back to the profile you accidentally skipped over.

Pros:

• Easy to use and sign up
• No bot accounts
• Freely available

Cons:

• No personality-based matching
• Not so popular
• Freely available
• Good features are for only premium users
