Best dating apps in Germany

Which dating apps have a German App Store listing

A store check against the German App Store on November 5, 2026 found listings for sixteen reviewed apps, among them Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Feeld, Grindr and Pure. Ten smaller apps are listed as well, including Taimi, Hornet, 3Fun and The League.

The same lookup found nothing in the German storefront for Coffee Meets Bagel, Match, Zoosk, Fling, OurTime and Doublelist. A store check is one iTunes lookup against the iPhone App Store, so Google Play and web availability are not covered, and a service not found there may still serve Germany. Nine browser-first services have no iPhone app to look up: AdultFriendFinder, Facebook Dating, NaughtyCharm, KinkyPeopleMeet, SparkMeets, BeNaughty, Flirt.com, Sniffies and Poliamoris. Dating sites without an app download covers that group.

Best dating apps in Germany on local ranking lists

The first Google Germany results page for "best dating apps in germany" holds eight results. Three are ranking lists, and one of those three sits on a German domain. Bumble is named four times, Tinder twice, and Hinge, LOVOO, Feeld, Grindr and Badoo once each. The search ran in English; German-language queries were not run.

The hookup query, "best hookup apps in germany", returns four lists, again with one on a German domain. Tinder, Bumble and Hinge are named three times each, and Badoo, OkCupid and Feeld once each. Bumble and Tinder sit near the top of both queries; Hinge reaches that level only on the hookup one.

Lists on German domains are scarce in these results: one per query. The ranking with no country filter is on the best dating apps overall and the hookup-intent one on the hookup app ranking. Berlin has its own city page, other cities are under dating apps by city, and the parent page is apps by country.

Age checks in Germany: the KJM page

Under section 4 of the Jugendmedienschutz-Staatsvertrag (JMStV), pornography online may be offered only to adults through an age verification system, according to the KJM page on pornography supervision. The KJM and the state media authorities enforce the rule with fines, prohibitions and, as a last resort, blocking orders to internet access providers. On April 30, 2025 the administrative courts in Berlin and Neustadt upheld blocking orders against porn sites.

That page concerns pornography providers and does not mention dating apps. The search found no source that applies the JMStV to a dating app, and no app is named in these sources. The page gives no date for the rule itself, so April 30, 2025 is the date of the court decisions it lists.

Canceling online under section 312k

Section 312k of the Civil Code (BGB) requires a website that lets consumers conclude an online contract for a paid ongoing service to show a termination button labeled "Verträge hier kündigen" or similar. The button leads to a confirmation page with a final "jetzt kündigen" button. If the buttons are missing, the consumer may terminate at any time without a notice period (statute text).

The statute names no dating apps; it would reach a dating subscription that can be concluded online. Its page gives no start date, and July 1, 2022 comes from IHK and e-recht24 pages seen in search results. The general steps for ending a subscription are in how to cancel a dating app subscription.

Dating app prices on the German App Store

Every price here is an iPhone App Store row for Germany, in EUR, and each app appears at its cheapest listed row. Only some listings state a billing period.

On the German App Store the lowest listed rows are Grindr at EUR 0.99 (titled "Sonderangebot", German for special offer, no period stated), Badoo at EUR 1.99 ("Paket mit 100 Punkten", a pack of 100 points) and SCRUFF Browsing Pro at EUR 3.99. At the other end, the German iPhone listings put eHarmony Basic and Ashley Madison Preferred at EUR 29.99 each, Plenty of Fish Premium at EUR 19.99 and OkCupid Premium at EUR 15.99, none with a period stated.

Three rows state 1 week on the German App Store: Hud Premium at EUR 8.49, Pure Membership at EUR 9.99 and Feeld Membership at EUR 10.99. The happn subscription is EUR 14.99 for 1 month on the German App Store, so a week of Feeld is listed below a month of happn. Tinder's lowest listed row on the German App Store is "3 Super-Likes" at EUR 11.99. Hinge+ is EUR 12.99 and HER Platinum EUR 13.99 on the German App Store, with no period stated for either. DOWN's German iPhone row is titled "Down Supercharge Weekly Sub" at EUR 4.49, although the listing states no period. Google Play and web prices are not covered. More price pages sit under dating app pricing by app.
