According to sources Tinder wore the crown as the top money-making app at the App Store, according to rankings posted online by market data firm App Annie on Friday. Meanwhile Tinder, which made its debut five years ago, lets people swipe left or right on, profiles to indicate those that they like as possible date partners.
Moreover the dating application's ascension to the top came quickly after it announced this week the worldwide roll-out of a new 'Gold' service with features including the ability of subscribers to see who out there has 'liked' them. Accordingly Tinder Gold was described in a blog post as a 'members-only service, offering our most exclusive features: Passport, Rewind, Unlimited Likes, five Super Likes per day' and more.
Tinder said Tinder Gold made its debut at $4.99 a month, and was to be
available on Android-powered smart phones in a month or so. Meanwhile Tinder
introduced a 'Plus' subscription service in 2015 that freed users of a daily
cap on the number of 'swipes,' and has pursued ad revenue. Further Tinder,
owned by a Match Group subsidiary of IAC/InterActiveCorp, boasts some 50
million users and is reported to be valued at several billion dollars.
