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 another happn user, their profile appears on your app. Did someone catch your eye? Like them secretly. We promise, the person will never know, unless they Like you back. Do you want to stand out? Send them a SuperCrush. Now you can send a message before you even get a Crush. And if the Like is mutual, then the Crush is yours! Now you can chat, and we’re counting on you to make that first message memorable. Show off your writing skills!

The happn app is free to download and to use. If you would like access to more features, you can switch to Premium by purchasing a subscription. With Premium, you get access to the list of people who have Liked your profile and you can send SuperCrushes to your favorite profiles so you’re sure to stand out.

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

MEET WHEN YOU'RE READY

Never sure when you should ask your Crush on a date? Afraid they might say no? Or are you sick of the pressure when someone asks you out too soon? No more stress. Now you can tell us when you're ready to meet, directly in your chat with your Crush. We'll let you know when they're ready too.

The UI is comfortable in both looking and using, but the fun is, there's empty profile recommended to me, but this is honestly and is a really worked one, very suit to my current situation. the absent always better than the worse. at beginning it recommend a pretty one but not meet my requirement. very chill one, I didn't feel any negative which other reviews said.

I really like this one. It works smoothly and intuitively and signup is quick and easy. Also not too pricey compared to some other ones that are equally as big. Sure there is ghosting and stuff like that but you will find that on any old dating app and it’s not their fault. Can recommend for whatever you are looking for. And since signup is free you have nothing to loose

I live in a really big city. If this app worked at all, I would be getting a constant flow of new ladies showing up all the time. I have gotten zero matches where I live. In San Francisco, I matched with some old lady. Had to decline. It's bizarre that you to force us into not being able to at least setting our age preferences. I'm 44. That lady was 78.
