Gay Dating Apps vs. Cruising Apps

Dating apps focus on profiles and conversation; cruising apps focus on place and timing. Here's how they differ and when to use each.

Dating apps: people first

Dating apps center on profiles, photos and messaging. They're good for getting to know someone before you meet.

Cruising apps: place and time first

Cruising apps center on where people are and what's happening now — maps, check-ins and spontaneous plans.

Combining both

HUNTR combines both: profiles, Hunts and chat for dating, and a moderated community map, HUNT NOW and hosted groups for spontaneous plans.
