On the heels of their new service launch last week, Tinder has surpassed the likes of Candy Crush and Netflix to become the highest grossing app in Apple's App Store.

Last Tuesday, the dating platform released Tinder Gold, a feature which allows its users to essentially streamline the matching process. Through the "Likes You" component, people can easily see who liked them without swiping through tons of profiles. A subscription for Tinder Gold will cost you $4.99 per month, in addition to the $9.99 monthly plan for Tinder Plus. A small price to pay for potentially finding that special someone, right? 

"We know you. You live in a world where every moment counts — where speed equals success, you're always on the go, and you can't let anything slow you down. Especially your Tinder feed," the dating platform said in a statement following the roll out of Tinder Gold. "That's why we created Tinder Gold, a members-only service, offering our most exclusive features: Passport, Rewind, Unlimited Likes, five Super Likes per day, one Boost per month, and more profile controls — as well as our new Likes You feature, so that you can see who likes you before you swipe. Think of it as your personal Swipe Right concierge — available 24/7 — bringing all of your pending matches to you. Now you can sit back, enjoy a fine cocktail, and browse through profiles at your leisure."

Tinder Gold is only available for iOS users at the moment, but starting next month, Team Android will be able to join the party.
