There are two approaches to mobile dating: that is flirting via mobile sites and flirting via smart phone apps:

Zoosk, after Badoo, is the second-largest social dating site in the world. Already claiming around 30 million current members, Zoosk’s popularity has literally exploded in the last few years.
Ever since the relaunch, the Zoosk App is something that we found to be more than just successful.
The Zoosk Mobile App of course allows you to search your local area and surrounding environment. There are also great member profiles to be found, as well as plenty of opportunities to strike up a conversation. Another interesting aspect of the App is the ZSZM Matching System. Based off scientific principles, it aims to take your data and find the best match for you.
Available in multiple languages, the Zoosk App is really a great thing to have on the go. Now you can flirt and date wherever you are!
The EliteSingles.com.au app is therefore the same matchmaking site… just in your pocket!
EliteSingles.co.uk app grants users access to over 1,800,000 UK singles. Available as both a website and a dating app, around 30,000 new members join the service every week in order to find the person of their dreams. Another appealing point about EliteSinglesi s that 71% of their members are university graduates.
PARSHIP.co.uk is one of the leading matchmaking websites in Europe and now is trying to accomplish that in UK as well. Millions of singles have already completed the 30 minute psychological questionnaire and are receiving suggestions for suitable partners day by day, either via web or iPhone App. There are also around 11,000,000 singles on the site.
While the Parship.co.uk mobile app is certainly handy for keeping in contact with your matches on the go, doing the test can be a little tricky with a handheld mobile device. As a result, we would suggest that you do the Parship test on your laptop or desktop computer! It'll give you more time to relax and think about the answers.
EHarmony opened its doors to the UK in 2008, and since then has gathered over 2,000,000 members. An online dating service that focuses heavily on compatible matchmaking, the eHarmony app offers singles the option to communicate with their matches while on the go. EHarmony believes itself to be a "relationship site, not a dating site" so there is very much a heavy focus on finding a serious partner.
AgeMatch focuses on “age gap dating” where older men and women are looking for younger singles to date. In essence, this particular dating app focuses on the fact that age is little more than a number and is therefore not a factor in choosing a partner. The app is available for iOS.
With over 1,000,000 members, the service offers singles the chance to connect with others and look at Daily Moments. Dating here can be for fun or a lot more serious: it’s up to you and the potential partner you choose to deal with.
Formerly known as AYI, FirstMet.com is the new face of this mobile dating app and its not terrible!
Beginning as a humble Facebook dating app in 2007, FirstMet.com has now grown into a mobile app with more than 30,000,000 users. Don’t worry if you have an old AYI account, you can still use it!
There is an "Are You Interested?" feature where "matches" will be proposed to you, based on your location, mutual friends and interests. Users can register and login to FirstMet via Facebook. This of course means that you don't have to spend a lot of time creating your profile or thinking of something clever to write.
Another great aspect of FirstMet is that there are a lot of ice breakers available. Writing a first message to a potential therefore doesn't have to be difficult!
One of the newest and fastest growing trends in online dating is the rise of mobile dating, and one of the big players in this area is Skout. According to its website, Skout is one of the biggest global mobile networks designed for meeting new people. It is a location-based social network, and has over 5 million users, and using your mobile device, you can meet new friends at a neighbourhood bar, at a concert or on vacation in Europe. Skout has members in over 100 countries.
What makes Skout interesting is that it is both an online portal and a mobile app, which is available for both iPhone and Android devices. Creating a profile is quick and easy on both platforms.
One of the fun features on the mobile version of Skout is the “Shake to Chat”, where you shake your phone and you then are connected completely randomly with another user. After 40 seconds, the profiles of the chatters will be revealed to one another.
The mobile app interface is smooth and intuitive which makes looking for someone much easier and fun.
POF.com (also known as Plenty of Fish) is well-known as being one of the biggest free online dating sites in the world and offering over 2,000,000 singles in the UK. It only makes sense, then, that POF offers an app for mobile users. Exactly like the desktop site, it aims to provide you with a list of accurate profile matches so that you can find someone who fits to your needs and desires.
As a mobile dating app, Grindr can be seen as one of the biggest for gay men in the UK. Founded in 2009, the app is still successful today and in fact many other apps have followed in its wake. At the moment, Grindr.com boasts 4,500,000 members. One of the biggest features is its location-based service, allowing gay men to find a hookup in their nearby area.
Shirtless selfies and "dick pics" are, however, a common standard on this app. It doesn't mean you won't find Mr. Right, however if this is your main goal then an online dating agency is probably a better bet!
**ATTENTION**
Blendr has merged with Badoo. To find out more, check out our Badoo review.
Blendr.com (powered by Badoo) is the new location-based social networking experience for those who want to get to know new people close to them.
You can adjust your settings so that you'll be informed when someone else with the same interests is close to you.
Blendr uses award-winning technology and real-time functionality to unite users looking for ways to discover new people with common pursuits and backgrounds. Worldwide there are 250 million registered profiles on Blendr.
You can search and browse users by location, filter by interests, check-in to venues and see who and how many other Blendr users have checked-in, private conversations...
The downside is that right now is just for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch), but you can connect also via the Facebook app. This means you can access it from your computer or other mobile devices as well.
The good thing is that you can decide how much or how little of your location to reveal via the privacy settings.
Tinder is the latest in a long range of different mobile dating apps. Having taken the world by storm in 2012, the app is constantly growing. In some ways, it has been described as a mere hookup app., though it does have around 50 million worldwide users. Tinder itself is relatively easy to use, though. There are no real profiles, apart from your Facebook page which the app uses. This makes Tinder something of a 'hot or not' game.
Happn is an app that is designed to help those who cross paths find one another. It is a unique idea and one that links directly to your Facebook account, much like Tinder. With over 500,000 downloads, this app is growing steadily.
Heralded as a "feminist" dating app, Bumble is unique in that women have to send the first message. With over 1,000,000 downloads, it is slowly gaining popularity and in some cases is seen as having a little more substance than it's competitor, Tinder.
Although originally thought for straight couples, Bumble is open for everyone to use (same sex matches are also allowed). Furthermore, it's not just for dating: you can also use the service in order to make new friends!
