Last month, we brought you an insight into selected 8 dating apps and sites.  If you missed it, HERE it is again.

2015 didn't go by without some new dating apps croping up on us.  Here are 3 unique ones and their offerings

Hinge


Released in  2013 and been in several countries globally, the app has matched more tahn a million people up,  however, probably at the time of this writing, waiting for the 1st Hinge wedding.  Hinge works by showing profiles of single people nearby, and only matches you with friends of friends or third -degree connections.

It was reported in the news sometime in May 2015, that almost 500 men left the dating app when the company behind the app revealed that it had introduced a new feature which informs users whether a prospective date is already in a relationship, by publishing details from their Facebook information.  This feature enables users to catch potential cheaters.  Good job Hinge !!!


The League


This app here is  de-la-creme of dating apps.  An elitist and highly selective dating app for successful singles is surely not meant for everyone.  It prides itself as the 'Tinder for Elites'.  The app was launched in San Francisco early 2015, and is gaining wide spread globally.

It's hard to get into the app - the only way is by applying to a long waiting list of over 100 000.  Potential joiners are screened and selected based on their education and professional history. Once you're part of the league, its members receive five new matches everyday at 5pm - the 'happy hour'.  The app is linked to LinkedIn the professional networking site

Fliqpic


A video dating app which allows real time and text chat.  Users swear it's a lot better as you can see the person you're matched with , chat and see if chemistry develops.  It helps to eliminate potential 'catfish' and you can get to know the matches pretty quickly
