The Tinder blue star means Super Likes that you can use to show interest in other Tinder users. When you use Tinder Super Like on someone's profile, they will get a blue star with your profile in their matching list.
Another way to send a Super Like to a profile is to tap on the Tinder Blue Start on their profile in your Tinder match list. On the other hand, when you receive a Super Like, you will see a blue star next to that person's profile.
Tinder reports that a simple Super Like feature increases your chances of to match by 300% compared to the traditional swiping mechanism.
Super Like is a premium feature on Tinder that lets you express your likeness to the other person before she decides to swipe right your profile. The Super Like feature gives you an upper hand on Tinder as the blue star will notify them that you are interested in them, and you used your limited Super Likes to get their attention.
All free users get one free Super Like, and Tinder Plus and Gold accounts get five free Super Likes.
The Tinder green heart is used to express your interest in another profile. It's similar to swiping right feature without dragging your fingers on the screen.
We prefer swiping right or left instead of using the green heart icon. But it's all about your preference.

The blue star appears when you send or receive a Super Like. Finding a blue star on Tinder is easy, as you can find them at numerous places.
On the Tinder Discovery Screen, if you see a profile picture with blue shady background and a blue star, it indicates that that person Super-Liked you. You can also offer Super Like by tapping on the blue star or swiping up the profile.
A blue star will also appear on your Tinder Match list. In the match list area, you will get a blue star next to all the profiles that you Super Liked or those who Super Like you.
Tinder Gold users get 10 Top Picks daily, and the free users get one Top Pick daily. When you open your Top Picks screen, you will notice blue stars directly on several profiles. You can tap and super like them, but these blue stars work the same way as regular blue stars in your swiping deck.
Using these blue stars will cost you money, and you will lose a Super Like from your five free daily likes when you send it to your Tinder Top Pick.
It's best not to spend money on buying more Tinder Super Likes as it is hardly possible that you will match with the profiles on the Top Picks.

Getting a Super Like is a massive achievement on Tinder. So, pat yourself for creating such an attractive profile. Now here's what you can do next:
Check what type of person they are. Do you guys have similar interests or hobbies? Consider whether he will make a good match with you or not. If you like that person, it's safe to consider swiping right at them.

Everyone gets limited Super Likes, whether a free user or paid subscriber, so it's best to use them carefully. Use Tinder Blue Star, aka.

Just keep your profile updated, use good photos and your precious Super Likes wisely, and there's no way you won't get a good match at the end of the day.
