Salaam Swipe is an app, set to launch in the near future, that uses a Tinder-like swipe-based motion to help Muslim users find dates. While the app uses the swiping interface made popular by Tinder, it is being positioned as a dating solution for Muslims rather than a casual hook-up app.
The app helps Muslims find single Muslims in their geographical vicinity. They can even project and search for particular denominations and political affiliations. This helps people find matches based not purely on physical attraction.
This app is designed to make dating easier for Muslims from conservative families who are discouraged from interacting with people from the opposite gender and don't find utility in apps like Tinder that don't let you search for a specific kind of date.
