SANDPOINT — These days, love is in the App Store.

According to Statista, 47 percent of online users have met, or know someone who has, met a romantic partner on a dating website or app last year. And the most popular place to “swipe right” to find your true love? Tinder with 15.83 million people connecting through the app in the past six months, according to data generated through the Kochava Collective, the world’s largest independent mobile data marketplace.

In distant second was Happn with 5.64 million users followed by Meet Me with 2.08 million users, Plenty of Fish with 1.33 million and bumble with 765,000.

In announcing the data, Kochava officials said they were inspired to analyze the data to see what apps were the most popular because so many relationships do get their start online, be it a web service or app. Statistics show over 25 million people regularly use dating apps and that number continues to grow year over year.

Kochava, the leading mobile data attribution platform and host of the largest independent mobile data marketplace, the Kochava Collective, has compiled stats on the Top 5 Dating Apps over the last six months. So, whether you’re single and ready to mingle or looking for true love, here are the top apps to download:

The information about which dating apps are the most popular was generated by analyzing data collected as part of the Kochava Collective, the largest independent mobile data marketplace with over 7 billion connected devices.

The collective is based on independent networks and Kochava’s customers, primarily its enterprise customers. The data is used to track whatever the customers choose to look at. In addition, its Freeapp Analytics — a free version of Kochava’s basic tools — opens up opportunities for smaller companies creating a new app or game but don’t have a budget. In exchange for using the products for free, they give the company their data, Kochava officials said previously.
