About The Author. Hayley Matthews Editor-in-Chief. Like Follow Follow. Whether you hate it a little or hate it a lot, it's a rite of passage for most of us. Best for queer women. The Good. Free version: Yes Paid version: And queer women basically have one: Thankfully, HER is a non-offensive, user friendly app good for folks seeking long-term relationships as well as those who want a more, uh, temporary arrangement. Aside from a dating app, HER also acts as a sort of Facebook group for the queer community: Go to local events, find new LGBT movies to watch, bash the government, and connect with anyone who shares a post you like.

The site doesn't assume that all of their users are cis women and allows folks to identify as genderfluid, non-binary, and otherwise. Details to remember: HER is totally free to download.

Accounts are verified and linked to people's Facebook profiles, so you're less likely to find fake profiles and trolls. Users have to be incredibly selective about their words and corny jokes.

It can sometimes take several message before you realize the person you're speaking with is way too into Harry Potter. Check it out here. Best gay app that hetero folks also use.

Tinder Free version: Yes Tinder Plus: More than 50 million people use Tinder monthly, and not all of them are straight dudes hiking mountains. Queer and trans folks head to Tinder because its dating pool is colossal. The app worked with GLAAD, the cast of Transparent , and trans activists to make sure it met the diverse needs of the trans community. The users contended that they were removed from the site after male trolls submitted multiple false complaint reports.

That's more than most apps its size, which typically offer a grand total of Tinder is free to download. More than 50 million people use Tinder , and chances are you're going to see someone who you work with on the app. Because of its popularity, Tinder is the app people love to hate. This doesn't mean the haters don't have a point, but in general, the quality of people you find on Tinder is no better or worse than you'll find anywhere else.

2. AdultFriendFinder

Have faith! Best for men looking for a relationships. Chappy Free version: Yes See Details.

Chappy is the latest app to cater to the relationship-seeking crowd among gay men. In , Chappy was introduced in three major cities: Los Angeles, London, and New York. Chappy brands itself as an app that caters to three demographics — people who are looking for long term relationships "Mr.

Right" , those who are looking something more casual "Mr. Right Now" and those who don't know what they want "Mr.

Who Knows". It's unclear whether Chappy will produce longer and more satisfying relationships for me than traditional apps like Grindr. If nothing else, the app at least gives people the illusion that such a partnership is in their future. Delusions schelusions, we'll take it. Chappy is relatively small and young in app terms, so don't expect the overpopulated dating pool you might find on Grindr or Scruff. The app requires users to have Facebook for verification purposes, so it won't work for those who've rightfully abandoned the platform.
