A few years ago we said there was an app for everything and today we can say there is a Tinder for everything, even for choosing what to watch on TV. Of course, there is also A Tinder for Christian datingand the result is a fairly high-quality app.
Niche apps aren’t always quality, but Salt, the Christian dating app, stands out by being well-tailored for its audience and allowing you to do basically the same thing you can do on Tindermeet people who, in this case, will surely have at least one thing in common: faith in a Christian church.
Getting started with Christian Tinder
Technically you can use Tinder or any other dating app from the perspective of a good Catholic, but you’re inevitably going to encounter a bit of everything. SALT is a Christian dating app with which you can meet -according to official figures- about 10,000 single ChristiansThe app currently has more than 100,000 downloads on Google Play and its average rating is quite good, 4.6.
Using the app is pretty straightforward, with the first step being to create an account using your email address or with the invaluable help of your Facebook or Google account. Before proceeding, you must agree to Salt’s values, which are pretty simple: be kind and respectful to others, making the platform a place where people feel honored and accepted. I wish Facebook had such simple terms of use.
Next, it’s time to enter the basic data for your account, which ranges from your name to your date of birth, where you live, whether you are a man or a woman, and the open question of How would you describe your faith?This text will be highlighted on your profile, and while it allows you to enter a short text, you can technically use it to write whatever you want.
The app asks you where you live, but just like Tinder It is based on your location to show you profiles around you and within the range you choose in the options. The location you indicate is displayed publicly on your profile.
The profile is very special
With the basic data ready, it’s time to fill out your profile to make it interesting to other single Christians and get matches, or matchesThe profile must meet a series of requirements to be published, from including a couple of photos to answering a series of questions, some of them about your faith.
On a broader spectrum, you can indicate whether or not you have children and your marital status (single, separated, divorced or widowed), Which Christian church do you identify with?your height, and whether you smoke or drink. These questions are optional.
What you will need answer a couple “chapter answers” to your profile. These are basically open-ended questions like “we’ll click yes…”, “if I could be another nationality, I’d be…” or “you’ll often find me…”. You can choose which answers you want to respond to, but you’ll need to include at least two.
These questions are divided into various categoriessome more personal and others more faith-focused, and are sprinkled throughout your profile for potential dates to peruse and decide whether or not to give it their all.
Looking for Christian dating
Profile ready? Then it’s time to find your match. From the app settings you can choose if you are interested in View profiles of men or women, maximum distance and ageSome options such as profile visibility or making your profile private are only possible upon payment.
SALT Premium It’s a subscription that costs around €17.99 per month (€74.99 per year) and gives you similar benefits to paying for Tinder: you can see who likes you, your profile is shown to more people and with more priority, you can review all the people you’ve already seen and you can activate private mode.
Otherwise, SALT is not much different from Tinder. You are shown a procession of profiles and you choose whether you are interested or not. Instead of swiping back and forth, you have more Christian ways of doing it: the arrow means no and the heart says yesYou also have the option to send a message directly.
If you are lucky and the interest is reciprocal, you will have a new coincidencewhich is a match but in pure Spanish. In this case, you can start a chat with that person to get to know each other better.
SALT is one of many niche Tinders, although it stands out for have more quality than other clones and adapt to its niche in a subtle and unforced way. Whether you find your soul mate in the app or not, that depends on God’s plans. You can download SALT on Google Play.
