Maybe the Tinder like category of apps (which this seems to fall under) should rather be called something like "hook-up apps"? Or am I being old-fashioned for not thinking this can be called "dating"?

Well. It depends on many factors. It depends what people do after they meet with this new relation.

But is the app still involved then?

Hm, I would call it dating app. It is like any other form of organised meetings for single people (I guess, never been to one). Real relations come out of it (I know such couples), as well as one night stands (been there). I don't know definition of word hook up, but I think it mainly relates to one night stands.
