The app introduced a new way to find potential partners, based on a swipe method — right for yes, left for no. Suddenly, online dating didn’t feel as laborious. If you’re new to the dating scene or just to online dating, you might not be that familiar with this method. Don’t worry; we’re here to break it down and explain how tinder works.

Tinder is free for anyone to use, but their premium subscription plans can get a little confusing. Tinder Plus, for example, gives you:

1. Rewind: You can undo any swipe you’ve done. Ideally, this feature lets you re-swipe someone you accidentally swiped away forever so there are no missed connections. But really, you’ll probably use this to go the other way as you ask yourself, “What was I thinking?”

2. Passport: You can change your location and swipe through people who live in another area. If you travel a lot this could be useful for setting up dates ahead of time. It can also help you lie and convince people you live elsewhere if you’re into the whole “terrible person” scene.

3. Unlimited Likes: You can use a lot of “likes” (the heart symbol). Some would say an unlimited amount.

Extra Super Likes: Five per day. Super Likes are when you swipe somebody up. It lets them know you “super like” them and are desperate for their attention.
