iPhone App Store only, checked November 5, 2026. Google Play and web availability are not covered.
The lookup covers the iPhone App Store only. Google Play and web availability by country cannot be checked this way, so an app with no Singapore listing above may still reach Singapore through Google Play or a browser. AdultFriendFinder, Facebook Dating, BeNaughty and Sniffies have no iPhone app to look up, which leaves their Singapore status open; the page on browser-based dating sites covers that group.
Best dating apps in Singapore in English-language search results
The first Google results page for Singapore for "best dating apps in singapore" holds eight results, with four ranking lists and two forum pages among them. One result sits on a Singapore domain, two carry a 2025 or 2026 date, and none is an app-store page. Local-language queries were not run, so the results cover English only.
Tinder is named four times in those results, and Bumble and Coffee Meets Bagel once each. Tinder and Bumble both have a Singapore App Store listing. Coffee Meets Bagel does not in the November 5 lookup, which makes it the one app in the results that the store check did not find. A ranking list can still name an app that the iPhone store lacks, since the lookup says nothing about Google Play or the web.
Eight results and three app names make a thin picture. For a wider ranking with no country filter, see the best dating apps overall and our hookup app ranking. The App Store lookup, the local rules and the search results on this page are national; pages for individual cities sit under city guides.
App store age checks under the IMDA code
The Code of Practice for Online Safety for App Distribution Services, issued by IMDA, took effect on March 31, 2025. It requires designated app stores to put in place age assurance measures so that people under 18 are blocked from the highest age-rated apps. Per The Star, a store that does not comply risks being blocked in Singapore under the Broadcasting Act. Allen & Gledhill's note on the Code says IMDA issued it under section 45L of the Broadcasting Act 1994.
The Code reaches dating apps through the stores. The Star reported on January 16, 2025 that IMDA's announcement named the dating app Tinder as an example of an app that people under 18 must be blocked from downloading. The official MDDI page, a parliamentary-question reply dated February 18, 2025, does not name dating apps. It says the Code does not mandate a specific method, and that facial age estimation is one allowed measure. The duty sits on the app stores.
Biometric Update, a news site and so a secondary source, reported on April 2, 2026 that the first compliance deadline for the app store rules had arrived, and that the Code mandates age controls on downloading apps for dating services or pornography. The article lists the methods each store offers. Apple uses credit card data or a government ID. Google Play relies on account activity analysis, with a selfie, an ID or a credit card as fallback. Microsoft and Xbox, Samsung Galaxy Store and Huawei AppGallery are covered too.
The article gives the deadline as a Tuesday, which matches March 31, 2026, while other reporting seen in search excerpts says April 1, 2026, so the date is left at April 2026 here. The pages read do not explain the gap between the 2025 effective date and the 2026 compliance deadline.
Dating app prices on the Singapore App Store
No Singapore App Store price row is on record for any app, so this page gives no Singapore price. A price from another country's App Store does not tell you the Singapore amount or currency. Google Play and web prices are not covered either. Countries with rows are listed under how dating app pricing works.
Local apps on the Singapore App Store
The Singapore local list holds eleven apps. One is marked local: Omi, whose listing title is in Chinese characters, with 1,474 ratings on its Singapore listing. That is the highest count in the list, just ahead of Instinct: Casual Dating App with 1,465. Casual Dating & Flirt - Kasual has 1,002 ratings, Bumpy - International Dating 847 and Flava: Casual Dating & Chat 175. The other six show no rating count, and all ten apps besides Omi are marked international. Four listings carry Spanish or Portuguese titles, and the title of Muzz reads "Where Muslims Marry".
Omi has 96,249 ratings on its Taiwan listing, a count covered on the page for dating apps in Taiwan.
