There's bad news if you were looking for a date last night as it appears Tinder is down.

The app stopped working for thousands of users from around 8.30pm.

Website service checker, Down Detector, showed major issues across the UK, Europe and parts of the US.

Twitter was also full of users complaining that they couldn't access the popular app with one fan saying: "Why is my tinder not working.. I was on a good roll to."

Another user tweeted: "@Tinder Is your app down? Been trying to sign in for the past 2 hours."

It's currently unclear what caused the issues and Tinder's Twitter feed was not updated for over three hours.

This isn't the first time Tinder has suffered problems this year as the app crashed in September causing issues for many of its fans.

Tinder was originally launched in 2012 and has quickly become one of the world's most popular dating platforms.

As of October 2014, the app was processing over one billion swipes and producing about twelve million matches per day.

The app now boasts around 1.4 billion swipes and 26 million matches.

Tinder recently revealed its new Boost service which gives users a way to be one of the top profiles in their area for 30 minutes.

Boost can only be activated while swiping in Tinder mode but if you have Tinder Plus, you get one free Boost every week.

UPDATE:

Tinder has confirmed via its Twitter page that it had major issues last night with outages continuing for a number hours.

In fact, Down Detector was showing problems for users into the early hours of the this morning.

It appears full service has now resumed and Tinder is working as normal.
