SinglesAroundMe: Heterosexual Grindr

Posted on February 20, 2012

Singlesaroundme logoDAILYMAIL.CO.UK – Feb 17 – SinglesAroundMe is assisting more face-to-face meetings, replacing chat-up lines in bars with messages from the GPS-enabled app. Launched in 2010, 550K messages were sent between singles all over the world last year alone. Most of SinglesAroundMe's users are between the ages of 25 and 50, with the USA home to nearly a quarter of a million downloaders. The potential of the gay market is not lost on the founder, and two months ago he launched GaysAroundMe – more squarely aligned to compete with the likes of Grindr.

    Take a look at the reviews for the app. Not very good at all.
    Application being buggy – does not load and often crashes.
    Good idea… poor execution.
