DOWN - Hookup Dating App for ONS with Friends on Facebook

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.

Setting Up

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.

How it Works

• If you swipe up, it shows that you want to go on a date with the person, whereas if you swipe down it shows that you’d like to get down with the person. If you swipe left, it means you want to skip. This means that the app caters to casual hookups as well as serious dating
• Down allows you to be honest and direct while trying to hook up with someone. You can say GET DOWN when searching for a quick date. But if you are looking for something more serious, just mention GET DATE
• Users can contact each other by sending a message, when a mutual match occurs. This saves embarrassment. You get notifications through email or Facebook notifications, according to your settings
• Everything is anonymous, unless both the parties like each other. If not, then they will never know that you had any such feelings
• You can meet your friends on Facebook and friends of your friends and so on

Secret Admirer

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.

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.
