Tinder CAN help you find Mr Right: Couples who meet on dating apps have stronger relationship goals

Couples who meet through smartphone dating apps are more motivated to move in together and have children, according to a new study. Researchers found that online daters have stronger long-term relationship goals than peers who hook up in more traditional ways - such as at the office or pub. Tinder and rivals such as Bumble, Match and Plenty of Fish have been criticised for fuelling casual sex. But, contrary to popular belief, spreading the net wider increases the chances of settling down with'Mr or Mrs Right', according to psychologists. An analysis of more than 3,000 over-18s in Switzerland showed couples who met on an app were more motivated by the idea of cohabiting.
