What is Tastebuds?

Tastebuds is a dating and social networking website for music lovers to connect with people who have similar musical tastes. You complete a profile indicating the type of music and songs you are into, and Tastebuds matches you with people in your local area who like the same music. The app only alerts you if you have matched with someone if both people have liked each other. 

You can create an account on Tastebuds or sign-up using your Facebook account. You can also pay a premium subscription to remove ads, send and receive private messages, and use the incognito mode, which allows you to hide your online status.
