When it comes to finding love, our cell phones offer infinite potential. In a world filled with online dating, everyone has their preferences. Some, obviously, are better than others. But where does Illinois land when it comes to a preferred online dating platform?

Tip: delete the app just like you delete all of your other apps BUT delete your profile first!
