Best hookup apps for casual encounters

In this new dating era, the best hookup apps are on just about every single person's smartphone — and for good reason. You watch TV on demand (thank you, Netflix) and your food can be ordered and delivered while you sit on the couch (hello DoorDash), so why would finding a potential hookup partner be any different?

What makes a good hookup app?There's no one "best hookup app" you can use to find guaranteed partners, but you'll probably want to skip any apps that feature a 10-minute questionnaire about romance, hopes of marriage, meaningful connections, or expensive subscriptions (we're looking at you, eharmony). Instead, focus on finding a hookup site that encourages users to have spontaneous casual sex, multiple communication features (like video chat), and fully functional memberships that let you connect with others without emptying your wallet.
