The all new genius “real life” dating app is finally here! Happn brings people up in your search results that you’ve crossed paths with, and who also have Happn installed on their phone. It does this via a GPS function running in the background. So clever!
Happn is actually a French company. See here.
You need to get out and about. For example, just walking round your block won’t get you many potential matches, but spending a day in a busy, major city will.
Happn brings up people in your search results that you have crossed paths with within seconds, and within a few hundred feet radius.
It does not alert you immediately saying you have just crossed paths with someone three feet away from you! That would be a bit creepy.
But it is not too different, then, from chatting to loads of girls and guys in a busy pub.
This is a great app for all those shy or lazy ones out there, as unlike Tinder and all the other dating (matching) apps and sites, you do have to be more “proactive.”
I’m currently using and testing Happn, and it’s great. I have tested around 30 dating sites/apps, so I know what’s good and what’s not, and Happn is one of the best!
