Catch of a Lifetime vs Tinder
in Asheville, NC
Tinder is built to keep you swiping. Catch is built to get you outside with a group by Saturday.
In Asheville, NC
Asheville, NC is the Blue Ridge Parkway, Pisgah National Forest and the French Broad River, with Mount Mitchell — the highest point East of the Mississippi — less than an hour away — real trailheads, not just a market. It's one of the first metros Catch of a Lifetime opens in.
The short answer
Tinder is a mass-market dating app organised around swiping through profiles, with its most-wanted features behind a subscription. Catch of a Lifetime is an outdoor social platform organised around activities: you join a tribe for what you actually do outside, talk in its campfire chat, and meet on a real trip. Choose Tinder if you want the largest possible dating pool in a city. Choose Catch if you want people to hike, fish, climb or paddle with — dating optional.
