Happn


Happn helps you discover people you’ve crossed paths with and would like to find again. Saving you from missed connections, the app works like this. Every time you cross paths with someone in real life, their profile will show up on your timeline. You can check out profiles on the timeline whenever you want and you’ll be able to see the number of times you’ve crossed paths with someone, as well as the time and place of your last encounter. If you like someone, they won’t find out unless the interest is mutual, but you can also choose to be noticed by sending a Charm. When you’ve both liked each other, you now have a Crush and you are free to start a conversation.
