With the advent of smartphones, apps for almost everything started popping up. In fact, mobile apps have been available since 2008 either bundled with the smartphone or available for download through app stores. That was one amazing step in the world of dating as well since dating sites can now offer apps for their respective sites, sending updates directly to their subscribers’ smartphones. Now, we all know Asia is a majorly tech savvy world, and Asian dating has never been easier with these apps. Now, here are a few apps that are popular, particularly in Asia that you might want to try. These apps are known to be legitimate, Asian-centered, free and best of all, popular amongst Asian ladies.

Hey

Hey is a popular Korean dating app that went Intercontinental in 2013. This app is particularly popular amongst women since the app picked three matches for you each day and sent to you every 10 am. You are then given 24 hours to act on the match by asking them out for coffee or dinner. Once both parties have OK’d the match, a conversation can begin. It has no browsing, no searching, and no unsolicited chats. That makes it so appealing to Asian women. The best part is, it is free to download on both iOS and Android.

AsianDate

Asian dating sites have long been available online. One of the first and still standing sites in Asian dating is AsianDate.com and is now available in a mobile app downloadable directly from their site, for FREE. The best part of this app is that it allows you to connect with women from all over Southeast Asia like the Philippines, China, Thailand, and Vietnam. This app makes it easier to get in touch even on the go. Also, AsianDate has put in place a strict anti-scam policy that does not tolerate scamming and makes it super easy for users to report abuse to give you peace of mind while you search for the perfect match.

Peekawoo

This is another unique approach to dating apps that originated from the Philippines. It is a gamified and fun way to meet new people. The approach to this app is where interested parties are asked to answer a questionnaire or a mini quiz. They have to score a minimum of 3 out of 5 for you to be able to chat privately or to begin the conversation. This is more lady-friendly as men will have to spend a little extra time to get to know them first, plus it reinforces the courting first culture of the Philippines. Peekawoo is available on both Android and iOS.

Paktor

Heard of Tinder? Here is the Asian alternative originating from Singapore. It employs similar functionality and looks (somewhat) to the US app. This makes Asian dating a little more westernized but not too much. It still allows for women to have control over who gets to talk to them as she needs to like their profile back first. Much like Tinder, you swipe left you don’t like the guy and swipe right if you do. It allows for more casual dating, but it’s a great place to start meeting Asian women in a less constricted sense.

Whatever app you chose, just remember that it has to give you what you need, it has to be safe, and it has to be reliable in terms of functionality for you to get the best experience out of online dating or, maybe, in this case, mobile dating.
