Starting again after 50 is more common than ever. Some of us are divorced, some are widowed and some have simply been single for a while. Whatever your story, a dating app made for your age group is often the easiest way to meet someone who wants the same things you do.

What to look for in a dating app for over 50s

Members your age: check that most of the singles are over 50, so you are not lost among twenty-somethings.
Clear, easy screens: readable text, simple menus and a short sign-up.
Safety: profile checks, a way to report or block someone, and clear rules on how your data is used.
Good value: try the free version first and only pay once you are happy with the matches.

Our top tips

Use a recent, smiling photo and say what you really enjoy, from gardening to travel. Be honest about what you are looking for, whether that is a partner, a companion or new friends. Take your time to chat in the app before swapping numbers, and never send money to anyone you have not met.
