Which app works in your city, openers that beat "hi", and the 5 scam red flags. Free, straight to your inbox.
Is QuackQuack real, and is it worth using?
Yes, it is a real app with a real company behind it. QuackQuack has been running for over a decade and is one of the few Indian-built dating apps at this scale.
Who it suits: people in smaller cities where Hinge and Bumble have few users, and anyone who wants a second app next to Tinder. In Bengaluru, Mumbai or Delhi, Hinge and Bumble usually have more active, serious users.
What to watch: like every free app, it attracts some fake and inactive profiles. Use video calls, keep your number private at first, and never pay anyone you met on an app.

- Avoids video calls with excuses.
