Hookup App: HookUps.co.uk on Your Phone
Nothing to download: it runs in your phone's browser and sits on your home screen like any other app.
The hookup app that's already on your phone
Straight answer first: there's nothing to download from an app store. HookUps.co.uk runs in the browser your phone already has (Safari on an iPhone, Chrome or Samsung Internet on Android), and once it's on your home screen it opens with a single tap, like any other app.
That has its upsides. There's nothing to install, nothing to update and nothing eating into your storage. Start a chat on your phone at lunchtime, pick it up on your laptop that evening, and your matches and messages are where you left them, because it's the same account in every browser. It works on a tablet too.

Swipe on the bus, message from bed

Right on the people you like, left on the rest. VIP members can rewind a swipe they regret.
Daily matches
New suggestions every day, weighing distance, age range and what people are looking for.

Chat rooms
VIP members can drop into members-only chat rooms or start a private group chat with up to 50 people.
Who likes you
VIP members can see who has liked them, so a keen match is easy to spot.
Posts and polls
Share a status update or a photo, comment on posts and join in with polls and quizzes.
The full list is on the features page, and the hookups near me page explains how distance shapes your matches.
Keep it to yourself on a shared phone
A hookup app on a phone other people pick up needs a little thought. These settings and habits help keep it between you and the people you're talking to.
-
Just a username
Other members only ever see the username you pick. Your real name and your email stay out of it.
Pick one your friends and colleagues wouldn't link to you.
-
Your town, not your street
Your profile names the nearest town you've picked. Your address, and wherever you happen to be scrolling from, stay off it.
Nothing on it points to your front door unless you put it there.
-
A private tab
Open HookUps.co.uk in a Private tab in Safari or an Incognito tab in Chrome, and it stays out of your browsing history.
You'll log in each time, which is rather the point.
-
Log out when you're done
On a shared phone, log out at the end of each session and leave the home-screen icon off.
A work phone belongs to your employer, so think twice before using one at all.
Tinder, Feeld or a site that's 100% hookups?
Tinder and Feeld are download apps. HookUps.co.uk runs in your browser and does one thing, casual sex with no commitments, so nobody has to guess what you're there for. Our side-by-side pages, HookUps.co.uk vs Tinder and HookUps.co.uk vs Feeld, go into the detail, and there are more on the comparisons page. If you're new to the idea, start with casual sex dating.
Your hookup app questions
Is there a HookUps.co.uk app to download?
There's nothing to install. HookUps.co.uk works in your phone's browser, and once you add it to your home screen it opens with one tap, the same as an app.
Does it work on every phone?
It works in any up-to-date browser on an iPhone or an Android phone, and on tablets and computers as well. Your profile, matches and messages are the same whichever one you pick up.
Will anyone know I'm using a hookup app?
Not from the site: other members know you by a username, and your profile names a town, not a street. On the phone itself, use a private tab, skip the home-screen icon if others use the handset, and log out when you're finished.
Is HookUps.co.uk a sex app?
It's a casual sex dating site that works like an app on your phone. You swipe, match and message adults near you who want hookups rather than relationships, then decide between you when and where to meet.
