 Everyone knows someone who met their "forever person" though online dating but just like dating itself, finding the right site for you can take some trial and error. The VIEW SITECollective, host of the largest independent mobile data marketplace, crunched the numbers to recommend a few sites based on the number of users. “We have data available on more than 7.5 billion devices,” says Jake Courtright, VIEW SITE lead manager. “As part of this data set, we have 'app graph' information on these devices, which is essentially the list of apps installed on these devices. We took a look at all major dating apps in the Google Play and app stores, and then identified five apps that have the most installs within our data set.”





But because not all of us make decisions based on numbers alone, we also rounded out this list with a few other options that may suit your specific situation. Some of these cater to LGBTQ+ people, users of a certain age, Black or BIPOC users, those with specific interests in common and others that might not find their perfect date on one of the most popular apps. Whether you’re looking for a casual fling, a rebound to get over a breakup or your next long-term relationship, you can start by downloading one of these dating apps.
