Coffee Meets Bagel

Coffee Meets Bagel (CMB) is an app to connect you with new people. To create your account you have to provide a Facebook account in order to verify you're a real person. Once your account is set up, just pick a location and indicate whether you want to meet men or women.

As in all apps of this kind, members can upload as many pics or as much info as they want. In fact, the more details you offer about yourself, the more likely you are to find someone who's interested in chatting with you.

The way Coffee Meets Bagel works is simple: you browse other people's profiles and say whether you're interested or not. If you both show interest, you can have a conversation with that person in a private chat. Otherwise you can't make contact.

Coffee Meets Bagel is an interesting alternative to Badoo, Tinder, Lovoo, and similar apps and has an elegant and simple interface. As with all apps of this kind, its success depends on the number of people who end up using it.
