Our review
★★★★☆ 3.6
happn shows you people whose real-world paths crossed yours — same street, same café, same commute — which gives every profile a built-in conversation starter. It is strongest in dense European and Latin American cities and structurally useless in car-centric suburbs. A genuinely different discovery model that stands or falls with your city’s density.
Pros
- Real-world overlap creates context
- Big in European/LatAm cities
- Feels less random than swiping
Cons
- Needs urban density to work
- Location sharing gives some people pause
- Smaller pool than the giants
