Are relationships resulting from dating apps successful? In this time and day, people use apps such as Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and many more in search for a relationship. Have you or anybody you know used a dating app before? #COMN3517
Tinder, Bumble, and Grindr are all similar apps, but they do have their differences. One app is strictly focused on finding its user a life long partner; another is controlled by women; and another is mainly focused on homosexual relationships #COMN3517
Being the most popular app, Tinder has around 57 million users around the world. According to Tinder Revenue and Usage Statistics, 95% of users meet their matches in 1 week. 85% of them say 'I love you' within the 1st year #COMN3517 https://www.businessofapps.com/data/tinder-statistics/

Despite these concerns, reasearch and statistics show that not only do some people find their significant other through virtual dating, but they are in fact more happy in their marriages in comparison to people who met offline. #COMN3517
