How many Tinders is there? In my country they's pretty much only it, none of the other apps have any users (especially in my age range).

I'm also "kinda" banned on Tinder btw - or rather, my account got in an unusable state due to some bug, or an interaction between multiple bugs. The app literally barely works. How pathetic for a company this size. I feel sorry for anyone who has to work on their code base.

Really?

In my area, single people also use Hinge, Bumble, CoffeeMeetsBagel, OKCupid, POF, Match... I'm fugly as hell but even I was able to find someone on a non-Tinder platform.

Other than Coffee Meets Bagel which I've not heard about before, those are all - like Tinder - owned by Match.

So while they may be options in some market, I'd be curious how long before they share bans between services.

I don't think the author is claiming to be banned from every dating app, and I don't think Match Group connects the profiles of users across its owned platforms, so it's not really relevant that Tinder is owned by Match Group for the purposes of what happened to the author.

-Hinge: Seemingly the only viable competitor in the college scene

-Bumble, OKCupid, POF, Match: 40+ only.

-CoffeeMeetsBagel: ?

Bumble is definitely not 40+ only at least here in Chicago.

All of these are owned by Match Group, the same parent company as Tinder.

Why not delete and recreate your account?

And get actually banned? The app is so bad that I'd rather not use it at all. Anyway, I'm in a relationship now, so thankfully I don't need it.
