1. happn
An app called “happn” is gaining a lot of traction.
Basically, when you walk past another happn user on the street, their profile pops up on your screen. This gives you the perfect icebreaker to chat with a passing hottie…and who knows where that first conversation might lead?
The Telegraph notes that, unlike a lot of other dating apps, Happn hails from France. The Telegraph notes:
“‘happn,’ the newest, hottest dating app, is so surprising. It has come not out of Silicon Valley, or London’s fast-growing equivalent (the so-called ‘Silicon Roundabout’ on Old Street) but out of Paris. Since its launch in France five months ago, happn claims to have garnered 150,000 users. And within five weeks of launching in the UK, 25,000 people have signed up.”
This formerly Francophone app is starting to pick up more and more English-speaking users, making this a great time to check it out.

2. Lick This
Watch a guy try the Lick This app in the hilarious video above.
Lick This is a web app, rather than an iOS app. The app aims to train users in the fine art of oral pleasure. Users simply visit the app’s website from their mobile device, and practice their oral skills by licking the screen. The web app provides a number of “exercises” a person can try. It sounds a little gross, which is why some people suggest wrapping your phone in plastic wrap beforehand.

3. LinkedUp!
Learn more about this app in the video above.
LinkedUp! got a lot of press during its recent launch, with many press outlets referring to the app as “Tinder for professionals.”
Now that the app has had some time to mature (and flesh out its user base), the experience is a lot more enjoyable. If you’re looking to date someone in the same industry as you, this LinkedIn spin-off is worth checking out. Just remember that old adage about dipping your “pen” in the company ink.
