It's always fun to share some time doing your favourite hobbies with someone who means special to you. This is why the Japanese dating platform Tapple App matches people based on similar interests.

Tapple App links people through common hobbies and interests in the platform. Currently, the site only operates within Japan, but foreigners are allowed to use as long as they are within the country. Despite being localised in nature, the app has been successful so far in bringing together singles and making these matches possible. In fact, the app is one of the most downloaded platforms in the country.

    Tapple App Real Life Review

    I have been on a few dates here. I frequently go to Japan to visit my mom, but I barely know anyone there because I grew up with my father in another country. A cousin told me about this app so I can meet new people while I am staying at my mum's, and it was great. I met new friends and they were really nice. - Sutan, 25, Chef

    It's a fun way to meet new people when travelling. I can still use it even when I'm back home, so the upgrade is worth it. But I can only meet people when I'm in Japan so I guess that's the catch. - Henry, 35, Entrepreneur

    Design and Usability

    Tapple App has a neat user interface that is easy to use even for non-tech-savvy people. It uses nice icons and colours that are easy on the eyes which appeals to women who makes up most of the membership.

    In terms of functionality, it is apparent that the site and the app is well-maintained. The functions and features works well as expected so having a great user experience is assured.

However, the location restrictions make it hard for users to continue with the service once they are out of Japan.
