Love It or Leave It?
Our weekly review of the internet's verdict on the world's biggest dating apps
Updated 22 June 2026This week's movers & shakers
Well, that's anticlimactic. Nothing moved. Not a single app shuffled position, gained a point, or had a dramatic fall from grace. EliteSingles is still sitting pretty at 92/100, Tinder's still coasting on brand recognition despite a middling 7.5/10 review score, and OkCupid remains the app equivalent of that friend who's "actually really interesting once you get to know them" — except nobody's bothering to get to know them (58.4/100 says it all).
But here's the thing: a flat week doesn't mean nothing's happening. Look at the gaps. EliteSingles leads by 6 points over SilverSingles, yet Bumble (85.7) is breathing down both their necks. Meanwhile, eHarmony's sitting in 9th place with the highest review score we give (9.8/10) but a genuinely alarming overall score of 64.9. That's the real story — our reviews love it, but something about the user experience is killing it. Probably the paywall. Probably the algorithm. Probably both.
For anyone downloading this weekend: if you're serious about finding an actual partner, EliteSingles and SilverSingles are doing the job. If you want volume, lower stakes, and better app functionality, Bumble, Zoosk, and Tinder will serve you better. Just know what you're paying for.
Top 3 this week
SilverSingles
The pensioner's playground done right. 86/100 reflects solid matching for the 50+ crowd and genuine success stories. No flashy features, just dependable matchmaking. Reviews hold steady at 8.6/10.
EliteSingles
Still the crown jewel. Strong review score (9.2/10) drives the 92/100 ranking. Targets educated professionals seriously looking for commitment, not casual swipes. Premium positioning justified.
Bumble
Women control first moves, which sounds good in theory. App Store shines (4.2/5) but our 7.8/10 review reveals the fun fades fast once matches dry up. Strong at attracting, weaker at converting.
