While you can view our asexual dating site on your mobile browser, we do understand the benefit of an asexual dating app. Visitors have often asked us “are there dating apps for asexuals”? The answer is yes! But unfortunately there are some downsides. Let us explain.
Dating apps for asexuals: the downside
There are a few dating apps for asexuals out there, but not many asexuals have found them yet. Meaning the userbase is small. There’s another issue that asexuals on the AVEN forums have rightfully pointed out. With asexual users being across these different apps, it’s hard to find/see all asexuals out there. So unless you subscribe to all apps and websites, it might be hard to find the person you’re looking for.
However, with the asexual community getting more attention thanks to asexual activists like Yasmin Benoit, the number of asexuals joining the community are growing. That’s why we want to help you and the asexual community in any way possible. Even if this means you’re leaving our dating site to use a dating app instead. From one asexual to another: we want you to be happy! So without any further ado, here are the top 3 suggestions when you’re looking for the best dating apps for asexuals.
ACEapp
This ace dating app is currently the only dating app for asexuals that was specifically made for this community. It was released in 2017 and has well over 10k downloads. With both positive and negative comments, it’s up to you if this app will work for you. (Edit: this asexual dating app has been offline for a few months now)
ACEapp update:
On March 8th (2020) a data leak was discovered where users risked a leak of their real name, username, picture, country, and location if they logged during that time. More information about this can be found here.
Update as of 25th of March 2020:
“They did do a rollout March 9th, which was misleading to the users, since the issue was not fixed nor does it require a rollout to fix it. We just checked it Monday, May 25th Pacific Time and the issue has not been fixed at all”

Update as of June 13th, 2020:
“We want to inform you that all the data on ACEapp is completely safe and only authorized users can request and view the data. We recently launched our new update on 4th June in which we have used a new database and a secure environment.” – Rishav Saxena, ACEapp
OKCupid
When you’re thinking of the best ace dating apps for asexuals, OKCupid should be on your list of options. The app has been focusing more and more on all the different (a)sexual orientations.
Important Note: As of the lastest update in july ’20 the option to search for asexuals, demisexuals and graysexuals has been removed.
If you want to see who likes you (before you liked them), want to send a message before someone liked you back, or want to search in incognito mode, you’ll have to pay. Pricing starts at $9,99 if you pay for three months, and goes up to $19,99 if you want to only pay for one month.
Bumble / Tinder
Another suggestion on the list of dating apps for asexuals is for those who are out and are not afraid to show themselves on dating apps as an asexual.
With very limited options when it comes to dating apps for asexuals, the best option to reach as many people as possible, is to join general, well known dating apps and mention your asexuality in your profile text instead.
Alternatively you could use sites specifically made for everyone on the asexual spectrum.
Asexuals.net App
Users have asked if asexuals.net also has an asexual dating app. The answer is no, not yet. We will look into the possibilities of this next year, if/when the community grows bigger. Until then, you can also use our asexual dating site on your phone. Simply go to asexuals.net in your browser on your phone, or sign up right away, and start matching.
Whatever apps and websites you end up using, we hope you find your match. Whether that is an ace friendship, or more!
Hi, everyone,
This is Rishav Saxena working on ACEapp for 3 years.
We truly appreciate your concern about the data breach on ACEapp.
We want to inform you that all the data on ACEapp is completely safe and only authorized users can request and view the data. We recently launched our new update on 4th June in which we have used a new database and a secure environment. All the confidential data like password, email, authentication tokens are secured using SHA-2 cryptographic hash functions.
No one can read any data outside the application without any proper authentication. All the previous REST APIs are no longer functional.
Thanks
Let us know if you still find any such issue.
Aceapp claimed it is a feature, and while we do not believe anyone should store data this way and do not find it safe we have released all of it to let users make up their minds. https://youtu.be/TR6ONycYC5M
Also, we are going to be updating our article to explain that a simple computer program could download every profile image from the website without having to know your profile in minutes.
That would be great. That way we can stay updated! Thank you.
Thank you very much for putting it in the article. We are not shocked, we’ve seen security holes go 3 to 10 years without being fixed. We were hoping for more, but from a legal standpoint we know there isn’t much that can be done, since the gentleperson lives in India.
Hi,
They did do a rollout March 9th, which was misleading to the users, since the issue is not fixed nor does it require a rollout to fix it. We just checked it Monday, May 25th Pacific Time and the issue has not been fixed at all. Thank you so much for informing your readers about this danger. I appreciate it more than you can imagine. If you want to see the issue, please email us. We don’t think the way to see it should be public to the masses.
Thank you for your response on this. That’s very helpful. I’m shocked it has been two months and the issue is still there. I’ve updated the article with your input. Let me know if you’d prefer this to be taken out.
