Why Happn Is Your Essential Spring Vacation App

Spring Break checklist: ID, new swim gear, friends—and Happn.

Happn is the most natural dating app out there right now, and for good reason: every time you cross paths with another Happn member during the course of your day, whether on the street or in a store, in a restaurant or bar, at the gym or a show, that person shows up in your feed. Hit "like" on their profile and, if they've liked you too (and it HAS to be mutual... no need to worry about stalky randos), you can start texting each other right away!

But as genius as this idea is when you're on your home turf, it might be even more valuable during your spring escape plans. Think about it: You're surrounded by potential boyfriends or girlfriends, all of whom are also looking for someone special, but your break is too short to spend all your time figuring out who's actually interested in meeting you.

With Happn on your phone, you not only know that the cutie you noticed on the beach—or at the club or even on the plane ride down—is available, but also that they noticed you too. And unlike other dating apps, Happn gives you a sure-fire ice-breaker right from the start: Make a joke about wherever you both were! The new voice feature is an added bonus as well, letting you send embedded recordings with your messages (up to one minute in length, so you can keep them short and sweet!).

No matter where your spring trip may take you—beaches, skiing, cities, resorts, islands, other counties—there will surely be plenty of Happn members there waiting for you—the app recently passed the 12 million-member mark, and will likely hit at least 30 million by the end of the year.

So download Happn right now, set up a profile (it takes just a few seconds; you can grab photos from your Facebook) and you'll be ready to turn those chance encounters into something real.

Happn is available on Windows phone, iPhone and Android.
