You can relax, Tinder users, because you have cried your last tear over accidentally swiping left on the potential person of your dreams.
After months of teasing the general public, Tinder rolled out its brand new premium features, Tinder Plus, on Monday. Among the new features is Passport, which will allow you to change locations and search potential matches in other cities or countries. So if you're about to head out to Fort Lauderdale for spring break, you can peruse all your possible options before you even get on the plane. Nice.
The company also finally heard your cries of agony about accidentally swiping the wrong way for that person you're pretty sure was your actual soul mate. According to the company's blog, you'll now get another chance to make the right decision:
Rewind lets you take back your last swipe. If you accidentally swiped left on someone you want to get to know, they're no longer lost in the Tindersphere forever. Now you can get him/her back with the touch of a button.
Plus, for all of you who simply cannot be tied down to a few dozen or so people, Tinder Plus will also feature unlimited liking. Have fun with that!
But the change that is drawing the most attention is a pricing structure for Tinder Plus that would cost more for users who are over the age of 30. TechCrunch described the model as similar to Uber's surge pricing but for dating.
[Tinder Plus] costs anywhere between $9.99 and $19.99 in the United States, depending on the age of the user. That's right. Tinder Plus costs $19.99 for users older than 30, while it costs just $9.99 for folks who are younger than 30.
In an email to Business Insider, a spokesperson for Tinder explained that the reason for the difference is simply because the Youngs are a little more cash-strapped.
"Younger users are just as excited about Tinder Plus, but are more budget constrained." Rosette Pambakian explained. "[They] need a lower price to pull the trigger."
So fear not if you are young and "budget constrained" but still want to enjoy the many emotional highs and lows of meeting people on one of the world's most popular dating apps. They've got you covered. Now go forth and swipe.
