There's Bumble, Coffee Meets Bagel, Happn, Grinder and plenty of other smaller apps.

But far and away the bulk of dating app traffic goes through a Match property.

Unfortunately dating apps are an area where popularity does matter. Few are going to stick around on a largely empty app.

I was banned from Tinder about a year into the pandemic. I would sometimes idly swipe over that year to pass time but wasn't having conversations. I can only conclude that something in my profile was misunderstood.

They will not explain why, but I am now banned from all Match owned properties. That more or less leaves Bumble. At least until Match owns them.

If you're in Europe, thanks to GDPR, you have the right to get the data that led to your ban, as well as the right to correct such data (and thus, potentially, appeal).
