The biggest difference is there’s no ‘hot or not?’ style swiping.
So you’re more likely to find someone with genuine shared interests, rather than just a nice face. The idea is you can build an authentic picture of yourself, with answers, photos, details about what you’re reading or listening to and even video. You’re prompted to ask a series of questions, but you can choose which you answer.
Calling itself “the relationship app”, Hinge is aimed at those who are tired of Tinder, or just have really sore thumbs from all the swiping.
