apps that organize the appointment directly

Our attention is the most precious good for the apps that we have on the mobile. Instagram and Tiktokthe Chatbots of AI… Virtually any app wants to hook us and appointment apps were not going to be less. Tinder converted the search for a couple (or what arises) into an infinite swipe with endless profiles to do Match. However, it seems that the format of offering the more options the better is being exhausted and there are more apps that opt ​​for the contrary: take control and decide for you.

The app decides. Until recently, most appointments opted for the Tinder format, but recently new proposals are emerging with a different approach: instead of being the user who spent hours sailing, chatting and looking for their Match Perfect, it is the app who takes control and decides for you. It sounds good, although as they count on the New York Timessome are stopped.

Breeze. “A match means an instant appointment,” Breezean app developed in Holland that has already made the leap to more European countries (in Spain not yet) some areas of the United States. Every day, the app sends you a selection of people who may like it and, if you match someone, the app will check the availability of both and arrange an appointment. If you do not accept appointments, in the end they freeze your account. There is not everything left, they also focus on security verifying all users and ensure appointments are carried out in bars that are associated with the app. Breeze is free, but if you get appointments you will have to pay.

Near. Oriented to gene generation, the approach of Near It is finding appointments with your friends’s friends. As? Forcing you to share all your contacts if you want to join. The idea is that quotes occur between people with nearby circles, not among strangers. Thus, those mutual friends can give you information and corroborate that your link “is trustworthy.” With this idea, close wants to end practices such as Ghosting since “your reputation is at stake.” It is only Available for iPhone.

CUFFED. This app is committed to exclusivity. In Cupd you can only have one match at the same time so that both people are only chatting with each other and not with several at the same time. There are more, only the members can enter and that is only achieved if the app accepts you or if you get a referred code. Once inside, you are obliged to pay the premium subscription, whose prices go from 14.99 to $ 79.99.

The Tinder format loses bellows. Having many options is not always good. In apps such as Tinder or Bumble it is easy to get tired of reading profiles, keeping empty conversations and even having appointments. The use data confirmed it: last year we talk about Tinder was losing usersespecially those who paid for Tinder Plus or Gold. After nine years of growth, In 2024 Bumble began to lose users. It seems that the trend is clear.

‘Dating fatigue’. Appointment apps face what is known as ‘Dating fatigue’or what is the same: that it gives you laziness to link. According to data from a Survey by Forbes78% of US appointment apps users admit to being tired of using them. Before a model that seems to be starting its decline, the new models such as those of these apps have an opportunity to highlight. Or even The not so new.
