About this app

With over 100 million members, happn is the dating app that lets you find everyone you have crossed paths with; the people destiny has decided you should meet. Like the profiles that catch your eye, get a Crush and most importantly, get together!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

When you cross paths with another happn user, their profile appears on your app. Did someone catch your eye? Like them secretly. We promise, the person will never know, unless they Like you back. Do you want to stand out? Send them a SuperCrush. Now you can send a message before you even get a Crush. And if the Like is mutual, then the Crush is yours! Now you can chat, and we’re counting on you to make that first message memorable. Show off your writing skills!

The happn app is free to download and to use. If you would like access to more features, you can switch to Premium by purchasing a subscription. With Premium, you get access to the list of people who have Liked your profile and you can send SuperCrushes to your favorite profiles so you’re sure to stand out.

CRUSH WITH CONFIDENCE

The happn app is based on the principle of reciprocity: you will never receive a message from someone you’re not interested in. At happn, confidentiality is our priority: your location is never visible to other members, only the places you crossed paths with them are shown. Your geolocation will always be active for happn to show you the users you’ve crossed paths with.

MEET WHEN YOU'RE READY

Never sure when you should ask your Crush on a date? Afraid they might say no? Or are you sick of the pressure when someone asks you out too soon? No more stress. Now you can tell us when you're ready to meet, directly in your chat with your Crush. We'll let you know when they're ready too.

As others have said there's just not enough people on the app and there's a lot of fake profiles. I live in Seattle and also spent a week up in Vancouver and came across one other person on the map. This subscription is currently absolutely not worth the money. hppn's response to this review suggesting I visit more areas and keep location settings enabled is laughable. I have been all over Seattle and Vancouver with location enabled. This recommendation hppn trying to blame anything else.

Hello Ken, Happn works based on your location and real life encountering. Which means that the profiles you'll see entirely depends on the amount of real people using the app in your surrounding. We invite you to contact our support so that they can help you see as many users. We want to improve your experience and make it much more enjoyable.

Edit: I like the new updated UI, but that's it. The couple of matches that I've had don't reply, seemingly I have 4 likes yet now no profiles appear in the explore, and nothing happens if you click any of the tabs in the hub section. How do you match with people who liked you then? Is this deliberate to force you to pay? Update: 99% of the profiles are fake, absolute trash!

Hello Marco, We value your feedback. We have measures to combat fake profiles, but some may still slip through. We aim to give opportunities for connections based on mutual interest, and while some features may encourage premium membership, we want to ensure that you have a good experience overall. Email support@happn.com for further assistance.

This is probably the worst dating app that I've tried and it's jam-packed with bots. Sometimes, you'll come across 3 - 4 profiles in a row with the same set of pictures, but under different names. This is especially likely when you inevitably run out of profiles to view because barely anyone uses the app. It doesn't get any meaningful features updates, but that doesn't stop the app from trying to shove ads and premium subscriptions down your throat every step of the way.
