There are a lot of dating apps in the App Store. To stand out, some app makers target very specific niches. These are the most notable niche dating apps.
Niche Dating Apps
In order to be as successful as possible, many dating apps try to appeal to as many people as possible. Another strategy is to focus on a very specific group. These apps are a good example of that.
1. Hater
Tired of all that gaiety and fun on other dating apps? The Hater app connects you with people who hate the same things you do. People who walk slowly? Clippy from Microsoft Word? Crocs? Find the person who thinks exactly like you so you can grumble about the same things undisturbed.
2. Bristlr
If the man of your dreams has a beard, then Bristlr is the place to be. Here you will only find bearded guys. The beards are given a star rating, so you only find the best beards. So do you often have itching on your cheeks and do you have to rub them against something? Then you know which app to download.
3. High There!
If getting high is important to you, you may want to share that with your future partner. Then High There! for you. Pluses for the pun in the name of the app. The App Store reviews are also worth checking out: “I get the same four people over and over, and a dealer harassed me. This dating app is dead, as is my love life.”
4. Bro
Are you looking for a brother? A brittle? A bro master? For friendship or sex? Bro, then Bro is the app for you. Give a fist bump to your favorite brogrammer, GI Bro, preppy bro or hipster bro and who knows, you might discover your ultimate bromance.
5. Raya
You can only participate in Raya if you are rich and famous. To enter, you must be referred and your application must pass through a committee of 500 people. You don’t have to be a movie star, but you do have to have something ‘extra’. A scientist at NASA or a painter is also good. Only eight percent of the people who register are admitted.
6. Veganific
This dating app is for vegans only. So you don’t eat animal products and you absolutely do not want your partner to? Then you must have this app. Using the app is not cheap with a subscription of twenty euros per month. “As if being vegan isn’t expensive enough,” someone grumbles in the reviews.
