Here's a list of 10 best hookup apps of 2019 which you can download right now to have some casual affairs or flings whenever you want to. Reality check: Though many apps are free, premium versions of apps with more services cost money, and monitors and smart bassinets are extremely costly. For example, the Snoo costs $1,595. Huckleberry has a free version but its signature feature, predicting when a baby should nap, is only included in paid versions. When it comes to online dating or hook up apps, Tinder is one of the most popular free apps among youngster’s which doesn’t need any introduction, it’s one of the best dating application you can find on the internet but well every application has something new to offer and it stands out in its own way, this app has over 50 million user.

What helps us with this is the wealth of gay hook-up apps that are available all over the world. But these apps are about more than just flings and friendship; they’re also completely necessary in some countries you’ll visit in order to find out more about the gay scene.
Sure, you might prefer to try out gay saunas while traveling, but in countries where homosexuality is seriously frowned upon or outright illegal and is pushed underground, there is no way of connecting with the gay community apart from gay hookup apps. Places like India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Turkey all have a vast gay network, but it’s almost impossible to find if you are just walking the streets.
Using apps like Scruff, Grindr, and Hornet is your way to tap into the gay scene of wherever you are and find secret gay bars, underground parties, and other events. As a word of warning, if you are traveling somewhere where LGBT rights are not great, make sure you get a secure VPN on your phone to protect your privacy (and, in some places, unblock these apps).
Even if it’s not your thing at home, you will definitely want to download one (or more!) of these apps when traveling to help you discover not just new people, but new things, on your adventure.
Oh, and sorry ladies – this one is for the boys only. You’ll be better served by these lesbian dating apps.
In this article we will cover...
Grindr
Grindr is the most well-known and most-used gay app all over the world, which is why if you’re only going to get one, it should be this one! It’s a social networking app that picks up on your phone’s location to show you anyone who might be ‘of interest’ nearby (they have to be on the app too, of course!).
When you log in, your grid will show you pics of people nearby, in order of distance – so if you’re feeling lazy, you’ll know who to tap on first! Once you tap, you’ll see a profile and have the opportunity to chat and exchange more photos. It’s banned in some countries, like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, but where it’s available, there’s a good chance much of the gay community will be using it.
Taimi
Elevating the game is Taimi, a newcomer designed for gay men seeking real connections. It’s the first app that essentially combines free gay dating opportunities with a gay social network to provide you with endless opportunities to effortlessly and swiftly form quality connections – so not just hook-ups, but something more substantial – or just friends and expanding your network. Because surely it’s not just us that occasionally pines to for new gay connections which don’t involve sex?
We also love that Taimi is focussed on the security and safety of its users with special verification and authentication systems to keep fake accounts out. There is nothing worse than a professional catfish, right? And there is also the possibility of creating groups where users can launch discussions, organize events, cooperate and collaborate with NGOs. This is the social network aspect, and we are obsessed with it.
There is also a collaboration with The Trevor Project, meaning users can contact Trevor immediately from their profiles and the possibility of making video calls, meaning Taimi is one of the best gay apps currently out there! So get downloading now to form quality connections, stay safe, and share without being judged!
Scruff
As you might guess from the name, Scruff is the slightly rough-around-the-edges version of Grindr, developed for those guys who like a little, well, Scruff! It’s free and good if you want to filter down your options a little bit. The users tend to be that bit more masc and a little older than on Grindr, although, with its growing popularity, there are plenty to choose from.
Like its main rival, Scruff tends to be used more for hook-ups, although there is also a match option if you’re looking for a date. You can scroll for nearby and around the world, so you could always set up a meet-up in your destination in advance. It hasn’t got quite the same mass range as Grindr, but that does mean it flies a bit more below the radar in LGBT unfriendly countries, so it is less likely to be banned.
Hornet
While there are a lot of similarities between Hornet and Grindr, the newer Hornet works much more smoothly, with less of the irritating ads that pop up on Grindr to get in between you and your new piece of eye candy. There are also more photos, so you can check that profile pic isn’t just an anomaly!
What makes Hornet so great for gay travelers is the community features that help users network beyond dating. You can follow people for updates, see events and stories, and search for things happening near you; it’s a good insight into the local gay scene. It’s getting bigger and bigger all over the world, particularly in Latin America, so in many countries, you might have better luck here than Grindr.
Planet Romeo (previously GayRomeo)
It started in Gay Berlin and has now spread around the world and, while heavy on the hook-ups, also enables users to find friends, dates, or learn more about LGBT issues. It aims to be a safe and friendly environment where you can live your queer life to the fullest.
The app is free, and it just takes creating a quick profile to get you in touch with tonnes of guys all over the world. You can filter down a lot, so your feed won’t get full up of people who don’t get your heart racing and save your favorites. It’s popular in Europe so next time you travel there, download this first!
Blued
Wait; what? This is the largest gay social network in the world? You’d be forgiven for thinking it was Grindr, but in terms of users, Blued pips it to the post. Why? Well, it was developed in China, and the majority of its 27 million users are there. Internet censorship is rife in China, and Blued is a way of getting around the banning of sites like Grindr.
Its founder is a former policeman and committed to LGBT rights, and we love that the network is now in partnership with Hornet. Like its partner, it’s all about creating a safe community, with verified profile features, the ability to go live with followers, and group conversations. For this reason, it’s great to tap into the gay community where you’re traveling, particularly if you’re in Asia.
Tinder
OK, we know that technically Tinder isn’t a gay hook-up app, but hear us out. Although it might have been set up as a Grindr for straight people, there are now lots of gays using it; just set your preferences and enjoy the wealth of choice there. It skews a bit more towards dating, but you’re not limited to that.
The clear advantage for gay travelers is that Tinder is less likely to be banned as it doesn’t have the association with homosexuality that triggers censors in oppressive regimes. You have to match with someone before you can message, but we’re sure you will – after all, you’re so cute!
Growlr
Calling all bears, or fans of bears; this is the gay hookup app for you. The network stretches worldwide, so if you’re lucky, you can find local bears wherever you’re traveling, who might give you an insight into the bear scene there – especially if there isn’t a local gay Eagle bar.
There’s private messaging, and you can also send pics, of course, and voice messages. We’re not going to lie, it is a little bit clunky at times, but there are up-to-date bear run and bear bar listings, so it can be useful for planning a night out when in a new city. Businesses might even use their Growlr HOT! Spot feature to give app users Pro features.
Jack’d
This works in a similar way to Grindr and Scruff – you get matched with someone who catches your eye, and then the two of you take it from there. What makes it a bit different is its aim of avoiding bigotry and negativity that can be found on other apps, and there is subsequently more diversity here.
You can search by ‘scenes,’ including bears, muscles, relationships, friends-only and more, then find people with similar interests. If you’re traveling, hopefully, your match will introduce you to that scene wherever you are!
Surge
Surge is another like-Tinder-but-not app that proves useful when traveling again because it dodges the censors due to its generally low profile. It’s open to all and very easy to use, so it’s a good choice for a gay app novice! And on Surge, you can both like people to match, or ‘power like’ that extra-special someone!
It’s most popular in the big cities in the States like New York, Los Angeles, and San Fran but is growing worldwide. The app actively encourages people to use it when traveling and wants to create a community worldwide, so why not be part of that?
Chappy
Marketed as the gentleman’s choice among gay hook-up apps, Chappy looks sleek and boasts features that rule out crossed emotional wires. On a sliding scale, choose whether you’re after Mr. Right, Mr. Right Now or Mr. Who Knows – you’ll then get matched with someone looking for the same thing.
Well, if you’re traveling, it’s going to be more about the ‘now,’ right? It’s also got added security like an alert if someone screenshots your image and a compulsory picture of the user’s face, so it’s a great choice for people looking for a safe space to hook-up. The disadvantage when you’re traveling? It’s not got the widest range, although if you’re heading to the UK, it’s perfect!
Traveling is a time to get out of your comfort zone, right? So download a hook-up app and get exploring!
DaddyHunt
Recently redesigned, this is a mobile social networking app for gay/ bi/curious Daddies and those who admire them. Billing itself as a place for ‘real’ men with no attitude, there are over 3.8 million men on the Daddyhunt App.
The app seeks to help its audience connect both in and out of the bedroom, and provide a platform where you never have to lie about your age (or anything else) to meet other men. No more age filter or perpetually turning 39 – silver foxes can finally feel proud and valued as authentic, natural men rather than needed to put a ‘fake self’ out into the world.
We found a lot of the men on Daddyhunt are looking for more than a hook-up, but a real-world connection along with a hot steamy night isn’t exactly a bad thing. And to be clear: the sugar daddy/sugar baby transactional relationships (involving financial exchanges) are forbidden on Daddyhunt. This is a place to just be who you are, not have to pay for what you want.
Adam4Adam Radar
Adam4Adam is one of the oldest online gay dating websites devised for men to meet other men “for friendship, romance, or a hot hookup”. And while they dragged their heels, they now finally have an app!
Primarily used in the USA, many of us will be familiar with their website and its popularity with closeted servicemen or politician types – and we did find the app continues this trend. It isn’t Adam4Adam’s fault, but worth noting as in this day and age, many of us simply don’t have time for institutional homophobia’.
Yet another option to find a date, chat, friends, casual fun, or more with unlimited profiles in five different grids based on your location. We did, however, like their Plan-a-Trip feature, which lets you show your travel plans in advance. Perfect if you are the organized type and want a hook-up ready when your flight lands. Who knows, they might even meet you at the airport.
BoyAhoy
BoyAhoy claims to be a global network for meeting gay men, but its popularity is definitely rather confined. If you are heading to spots like Seoul or Busan in South Korea, Egypt, Nigeria, or Istanbul in Turkey, you’ll want to try it out, however, as it is the ‘go-to’ local app there.
Instantly meet like-minded men near you and expand your social network with the tap of a button. Find a party, make new friends, or look for a hot and steamy hook-up anytime, anywhere. Most features are available on the free version, but in order to use the wink bomb, which allows you to send multiple winks all at once to various users, you’ll need to go premium. Likewise, the travel feature does not seem to work particularly well on the free version.
This app is also a sister app to meet me. We say Anchors Away!
9MONSTERS
9monsters is a very unusual gay social app arising in Japan with a limited central focus on the Asia-Pacific. Like many things from the land of the rising sun, 9monsters is just a little weird and bizarre. Something like Grindr meets Pokemon.
Mainly, the app has three unique functionalities – a breeding system, auto-translate messaging, and spot-jumping. “Breeding” is a straightforward social system where you find a guy you are interested in, then select “Breeding” to find your type, which category/monster other users think you belong to, and who likes you.
You can then use the auto-translate feature to chat, or the spot-jumping to appear anywhere in the world without GPS being required. This means that before heading to places like Osaka or Tokyo, you can connect with other monsters there beforehand. Download it now and give it a go. What have you got to lose?
HOLE
The most primitive of gay hookup apps, and honestly – that often all you need. Open HOLE, and you are literally one tap away from an insanely hot experience. Just publish precisely what turns you on, and the Hole will help nearby people match with you who have the same desires and kinks.
It’s gay cruising for the modern era, and easy to set up meetings anywhere, anytime. Once someone is interested, the app gives you one hour to get to know each other (or each other’s needs) and determine where to meet. No back and forward. Quick, simple, effective.
VGL
A gay dating app designed for twinks, twunks, jocks, and pups. VGL has over 1 million gay men in their 20’s and 30’s, and is very much aimed at the millennial market. Imagine Instagram and Grindr all in one. You can browse and message as many guys as you want – for free, and then follow guys you like to get a better sense of them before you meet.
As you can imagine, a lot of guys on here are only interested in growing their own following, but you can always try your luck. Their hottest profiles page is particular … mouth-watering. And there are no ads. EVER.
Recon
The world’s most popular gay hook up app specifically focussed on fetish. Recon was originally just an online website and has now added this app that is entirely free to use. It’s one of the best ways to approach like-minded men wishing to indulge in fetish – something which can be difficult on other gay apps.
There is also news and articles related to fetish play, fetish events in popular cities, and a cruise function to let a guy know you’re into him.
Feeld
Not a gay app, but worth a mention for couples who are looking for a third. Or vice versa. Previously named 3ndr, Feeld is a location-based app that offers a space for the ‘open-minded couple and singles’ interaction’.
We did love how inclusive the app was to all sexual & gender identities and were surprised to find it had over 2 million members worldwide. If you are looking to dabble in this kind of hook up, Feeld makes it easy.
Squirt
Primarily a hook-up website, Squirt was ground-breaking in its day and provided an uncensored online hub for cruising globally from its base in liberal Toronto. As a sign of the times, they now have released a mobile site – but technically no app as it is completely uncensored and not permissible in the app stores. This should tell you what to expect.

No judgment from us, but be careful if using when traveling as information can be out-of-date and public hook-ups/cruising is illegal in most countries.
Best Hookup Apps 2019: Hookup. This is one word that has changed in definition many times in the last few decades.

So, without further ado, we present the 10 best hookup apps of 2019 that you can use right now. The question is not which of these apps you can use (you can, of course, use all of them).

Best Hookup Apps 2019
: Thumb Rules to Remember
Before we list the ten best hookup apps, we should let you know that there are some thumb rules which must be followed when using the best dating apps. Some of them are:
- Always arrange a meeting at a private place. Use public transport whenever you arrange a meeting. Having your own transportation is also a good idea.
- A bit of a background check on the person you are going to meet (on Twitter, Facebook etc) wouldn’t do you any harm.
- Inform some of your friends whom you are going to meet and where.
- It is best to speak on the phone with your date before you arrange a physical meeting.
- If there are any inconsistencies between who the person said he/she is and who they really are, avoid any further contact.
- A brief fling is good as long as you go by your gut instinct.

10 Best Hookup Apps of 2019 (The Evergreen List)
Hookups are as old as human history itself, only that modern technology has made it far easier. With that in mind, and with your smartphone by your side, here is the list of the ten best hookup apps of 2019.
- Tinder: Tinder is universally acknowledged as the app which started an entire genre of such apps. Tinder boasts of having successfully arranged more than 20 billion matches. It introduced a generation of people to swipe left or right, depending on whether or not you liked the potential match. Swiping left means you like someone. The mantra of the app is simple: Swipe. Match. Chat. Date.
Pros: Has the biggest database. Has some of the best features. A more premium paid version arranges for password protection and other suitable features. Get up to five Super Likes every day and one boost per month with the paid version.
Cons: Has a lot of fake profiles.
2. Blendr: With the simple philosophy of ‘Chat, Flirt, and Date’, Blendr has received a lot of attention in the last few months. It asks to be linked to your Facebook profile and has a lot of single men and women up for some wholesome fun. This is also one of the best free dating apps and the more info you add to your profile, the more info you receive in return. Arguably it is one of the best hookup apps ever developed for our generation.
Pros: Easy to use and free for iPhone users. Has around 180 million users. Decent user interface. Ideal for 20-something youngsters who want no-strings-attached fun and entertainment.
Cons: Again, a lot of fake profiles. Has a lot of advertisements which can be annoying.
3. Tingle: Tingle is a chatting app first and a dating app later. Onboard is the ‘like’ feature which means that two users must first ‘like’ each other to send text messages, pictures, and, should you so desire, voice and even video calls. The chat service means that you need not display your personal number to everyone.
Pros: Safe and effective. Useful for harmless flings. Ideal for youngsters.
Cons: Some male users we came across can be real perverts.
4. Disckreet: Disckreet is one app which is recommended as one of the best apps for dating for Apple users. You can share your intimate and secret photos without any worry. Both partners have to enter their passcodes separately for the photos/messages to be able to access these secrets. Ideal for those who wish to be romantic but only in private.
Pros: Secret and discreet…err, we mean Disckreet!
Cons: Not available on Google Play Store.
5. OkCupid Dating: One of the older apps. It creates perhaps the most detailed and incisive user profiles so that you always know if you have met the right person. The app can be customized according to your tastes. So, whether you are a dog or a cat person, or a foodie or a Zen master, you will be able to meet your perfect match.
Pros: App is lightweight and easy to use. Great free service
Cons: Navigability is an issue.
6. Pure: As the name suggests, this free dating app is meant for short flings. Ideal for like-minded people who are looking for pure hookups and nothing else, it is a very decent app which also has one unique feature: if you are looking for a hookup or a fling in real time, it will show you who is available and in which locality.
Pros: Real-time hookups possible. Privacy guaranteed as your photo and tagline will only show for one hour at a time. Essentially the main reasons why this is on our list of the 10 best hookup sites.
Cons: You don’t have any time for a background check on the date.
7. 3Somer, earlier known as 3nder (or ‘Thrinder’), is the best dating app for threesomes. This unique app is meant for you, your partner, and another stranger, doing whatever is on your mind. We are not giving you any suggestions but you can try out this app in case you are in the mood for some polyamory.
Pros: Great app for threesome hookups. Unique interface.
Cons: Doesn’t have too big a user database.
8. Mimitate: Combines selfie-taking with Netflix. The process is relatively simple. First, the men post their selfies with what they’re currently watching. The women then imitate the selfies that they like, which leads the men to chat with their favorites. Quite a simple idea, come to think of it.
Pros: A novelty value is definitely there. Also, the interface is pretty decent. A really worthy contender to the throne as far as the 10 best hookup apps are concerned.
Cons: Loses its charm after a while.
9. Whiplr: Ideal hookup app for kinky users who are looking to have a fun time. We must understand that certain people have fetishes which need to be fulfilled.
Pros: Ideal for those who are on the kinky side, unlike many other apps which appear prudish.
Cons: Free version offers limited service. Premium/paid version can be pretty costly.
10. Her: This is clearly the best hookup app for LGBTQ community. Her describes itself as a feminist dating app and it has to be taken pretty seriously. A significant number of people are nowadays coming out of the closet and it is high time that we recognize an alternate sexual orientation. This app is a progressive one and thus makes it to our list of the best dating apps of 2017.
Pros: Not just another dating app, adds value and substance to any casual fling. Also ideal for keeping one’s sexual orientation secret.
Cons: App navigability is rather poor.
Love music? Well, we have a list of some of the best Android Music Players as well. Check it out.
Hook Up Apps Free Download For Windows 10
11. Down: Down is an app which is really free from any pretensions. This app is not for those who are looking for a longtime relationship. Instead, Down is simply about how to get laid with minimum fuss. In fact, the app is categorized specifically into two categories; one is meant for casual flings while the other is dedicated to the ones who are looking for a relationship. It is not restricted only to the straight folks out there: LGBTQ people are also welcome with open arms.
Akin to Tinder, this app also has the swipe function, only that the option is a swipe up or down. An up swipe indicates that you want to go on a date with that person. A down swipe indicates that you want to get down and dirty. It is that simple.
Pros: Has an excellent User Interface that is modern to boot. Also, the onboarding process is simple.
Cons: A limited database of users who can be accessed.
12. Coffee Meets Bagel: Coffee Meets Bagel is a unique site which can be used for a variety of reasons and also with hookups in mind. The name of the app is justified as you can use it to get laid or get into a romantic entanglement. It is a reliable app meant for like-minded people to get into a relationship. Also, it has a distinct user strategy: a man has to make the first move with the woman free to make the final relationship. In this way, this app sets itself apart from the crowd of other apps in this list of the best hookup apps.
Pros: Innovative nature is attractive. Safe and reliable from our first impressions.
Tinder
Cons: Limited number of users is unhelpful.
