Down is the latest trending app for hookups, earlier named as Bang with Friends. It is similar to Tinder, whereas Tinder allows you to hook up with strangers of your area, Down allows you to have one night stands with people or friends on Facebook. You can express your feelings about people who are in your friends circle on Facebook.
It’s all about banging a friend though a lawsuit forced the company to change the name to Down. The app currently has more than 4 million uses from all over the world, chatting with each other and dating.
You can only sign up for Down using your Facebook account. The app makes use of your Facebook friends’ list, their friends and so on in order to create a match.
You don’t have to add any photos to your profile, as the Facebook profile pictures are available for viewing by a potential match. You can select from your Facebook or Instagram pictures to add to your profile.
There is no bio or profile creating option in Down. The app is a simple and basic one with few features. There are no search filters to set up.
You can also use the secret admirer option in the app to send an anonymous invite to someone whom you want to date or get down with. That person gets a message or an email, but the name of the sender is not mentioned till the receiver also clicks on Get Down or Get Date.
The paid version offers better features, so that you can get more matches and view more number of profiles. You can also hide yourself from your Facebook friends if you have subscribed for the premium version of the Down app.
Dating has now gone digital and the stigma that used to be attached to dating apps is no longer valid. Hundreds of thousands of people are now swiping left and right on dating apps to find casual sex. Down seems to be an honest and innovative dating app, making it easy to hookup. The unique aspect of this dating app is that you can be perfectly honest and state that you are interested in getting down with someone.
Down is a free mobile app but there is also a paid version that offers additional features. It has been available from 2013 and has now reached 1 million downloads on the PlayStore. It is available for both Android and iOS devices. It is a fast paced app requiring minimal effort for setting up or for using. Swiping is simple and addictive and you can quickly come up with an interesting match.
But that said, as in every other dating app, there could be fake profiles, so you need to take your chances. You need to have a big set of friends on Facebook if you want to have better matching chances. If you follow the basic precautionary measures applicable to all online dating apps, you should find Down quite interesting and entertaining offering you ample opportunities for a quick hookup.
