5 hookup apps and sites deemed legit by users

Mashable - Sat, 05/23/2026 - 00:00

When it comes to hookup sites and apps, reputation is everything. A company can buy all the advertising it wants, but if it doesn't deliver the goods, then word of mouth alone can spell the end for it. 

In the dating app world, lots of contenders have come and gone. Just a handful have stood the test of time, and those that have survived have done so because the word got out that they work. In other words, they deliver on the promise of a hookup and possibly a little more. 

If you're new to the world of online dating, or don't know which app to trust, here's a rundown of five hookup platforms that are extremely popular among their own users, along with a quick guide on what makes them so special:

Tinder

Tinder is obviously super popular. With some 75 million monthly users across 190 countries, Tinder is still the go-to app for swiping your way to a fun connection.

It's also well worth a premium subscription, since that unlocks unlimited likes, profile boosting, and the ability to swipe through singles across the world, which makes planning your future vacation or spring break fling that much easier.

SEE ALSO: Adult Friend Finder vs. Tinder: How they compare as hookup apps

And if you're one of the many people complaining that Tinder isn't working for you, do us all a favor: Spend some time and energy taking quality photos of yourself, in good lighting, rather than mirror selfies or grainy, low-res photos pulled from Facebook. That goes a long way to making Tinder "work" again. 

Grindr

The largest gay dating app in the world continues to improve, having recently achieved the milestone of 15 million active users. If you're in the LGBTQ community and looking for some short-term fun, Grindr should be your first foray into the world of app-based hookups.

Standout features for fun-seekers include a grid-based location system, which shows you exactly how far or close your potential hookup is, as well as the ability to drop a geo-tagged pin in the chat, sharing your location with your would-be fling. We're also a big fan of the Taps feature, which enables some suggestive, non-verbal flirting and makes breaking the ice easier than ever.

AdultFriendFinder

AFF has been around forever — 30 years to be precise — and there's power in longevity. It's arguably the horniest hookup site with mainstream appeal — all you have to do is spend a few minutes browsing the homepage, replete with naked photos and live webcam shows, to understand what we mean. 

Sure, it isn't perfect. You have to wade through a lot of inactive or fake profiles, for example, and some of the best features are locked behind a paywall, but if you spend some time exploring the site's free public areas, from the webcam shows to the discussion boards, you'll quickly see why it's endured for three decades.

SEE ALSO: 3 AdultFriendFinder features exclusive to paid users

As of 2026, it boasts about two million weekly active users, most of whom fall into the 30-38 age category, so if you're feeling a bit too old for Tinder but too young for SilverSingles — or you're just very horny right now — give AFF a try. 

Pure

If you haven't heard of Pure, you're not alone: The app is a darling of the younger crowd, having recently become the most-used app among Gen Z, and it's easily the most unconventional app on this list. 

Designed specifically for hookups, Pure features enhanced safety features, including both age and photo verification, as well as something they call Safety Signal, a feature that enables users to share the place and time of their meetup with a trusted third party, helping everyone involved feel more secure.  

When it comes to matchmaking, Pure users get three photos and a 350-word bio, as well as a dedicated Turn-Ons section, where you can list your kinks, including everything from types of communication to wax play. And if you really want to take a gamble on a fun time, you can test your luck with their Devil's Bones feature, which randomly connects you with another Pure user in a voice chat. 

Feeld

Feeld is beloved by its users for offering a safe space for queer, polyamorous, and kink-based dating and hookups. It's been around for over a decade, having been established in 2014, but it's undergone explosive growth in the last few years, as more people discover its charms every day. 

If you're looking for a nonjudgmental space to explore your kinks, and perhaps especially if you and a significant other are testing out ethical non-monogamy and want to find partners with similar interests, Feeld should be at the top of your list. Its Constellation feature, for example, links your profile with up to five other member profiles, allowing people to see your profile when they search for couples or groups.

And while Feeld does employ a carousel-style swiping system, the left and right swipes don't automatically like or dislike a profile. In fact, unless you actively hit the like or dislike button, the same profiles will continue to show up in your search, encouraging you to spend more than a few seconds evaluating prospective matches. It's a refreshing change from the usual mechanism that can lead to swipe fatigue.

This Japanese hybrid sedan makes the Honda Accord look overpriced

How-To Geek - Fri, 05/22/2026 - 22:30

Hybrid sedans have become increasingly expensive, with many automakers charging thousands extra for better fuel economy. That’s what makes Toyota’s midsize sedan so impressive. Despite now being offered exclusively as a hybrid, it remains competitively priced while delivering the kind of efficiency figures that many rivals simply can’t match without a much steeper price tag.

Tesla recalls thousands of Model Y SUVs over missing sticker

Mashable - Fri, 05/22/2026 - 20:34

As far as the many, many Tesla product recalls go, this is one of the more innocuous ones.

Reuters reported that the U.S. ​National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a recall for 14,575 Tesla Model Y SUVs in the country due to the lack of proper signage on the vehicles. Specifically, there is supposed to be a sticker labeling how much weight a Model Y can safely carry, but the SUVs somehow made it to the streets without one. Tesla will take back the recalled Model Y vehicles and install those weight certification labels, per Reuters.

SEE ALSO: Someone drove a Tesla Cybertruck into a lake to test 'Wade Mode.' It didn't end well.

The justification here, obviously, is that people could potentially load up their Model Ys with too much stuff, leading to accidents. It should be noted, however, that there were no reported incidents directly attributable to the stickers' absence before this recall. It seems to have been merely a precautionary measure.

Tesla has been the subject of several product recalls several times in the past. Earlier this month, the NHTSA recalled more than 200,000 Tesla vehicles due to a glitch with their rearview cameras. A separate recall, also this month, affected Cybertrucks due to faulty construction with wheel rotors. Teslas have a bit of a reputation among gearheads for not always being the most tightly constructed vehicles, and stories like this probably don't help that reputation.

Don't turn your old PC into a DIY homelab: This tiny board is the smarter choice

How-To Geek - Fri, 05/22/2026 - 19:31

If you're looking to get into self-hosting and want to build your first home server or NAS, an old desktop PC might seem like the best starting point. It's cheap, relatively powerful, and offers great storage and upgrade options. While it's not a bad choice, there's a much better middle-ground today that combines the efficiency of purpose-built NAS hardware with the flexibility of a desktop PC, without the downsides of either.

Apple iOS 27 could leave iPhone 11 users behind

Mashable - Fri, 05/22/2026 - 18:50

Every big iOS update from Apple inevitably phases out support for some older iPhone model. It sounds like the iPhone 11 might be next.

That's not 100 percent confirmed yet, but a leak from tech tipster Instant Digital on Weibo suggests it might be the case, according to 9to5mac. Instant Digital published a list of every iPhone model that will support iOS 27 when it launches later this year, and four models stood out for their absence:

  • iPhone 11

  • iPhone 11 Pro

  • iPhone 11 Pro Max

  • iPhone SE (second generation)

SEE ALSO: Apple TV to live broadcast MLS match shot entirely on iPhone 17 Pro

That means if you have any of those iPhones, you might not be able to keep current when iOS 27 launches, presumably alongside the iPhone 18. That doesn't mean your iPhone 11 will be totally useless or anything; Apple continues to support older OS revisions with minor security updates and whatnot. But if you want all the newest iOS features, you'll probably need a newer iPhone.

The good news is that Apple very recently launched the budget-minded iPhone 17e, which will stay current with software updates for years to come without breaking the bank. If you don't feel like upgrading to a flagship phone, that might be the way to go.

Audi’s Q9 aims to replace the Cadillac Escalade as the new standard of tech luxury

How-To Geek - Fri, 05/22/2026 - 18:45

When the first Cadillac Escalade rolled off the line in 1999, it did something no other vehicle had done quite so boldly: it turned a full-size SUV into an unapologetic status symbol. In the years since, the Escalade has been the best-selling full-size luxury SUV in North America, earning a place in American pop culture, from hip-hop videos to Hollywood productions, that no other SUV has come close to matching.

Stop using "fake" tables in Excel—they're breaking your data

How-To Geek - Fri, 05/22/2026 - 17:30

Most Excel spreadsheets don't fail because of bad formulas—they fail because the data was never structured properly in the first place. What looks like a table is often just a formatted grid, and that difference is where problems start.
