ABC LOCAL – Oct 5 – Finding love the smartphone way is a trend that is definitely taking off. SinglesAroundMe says ~20K singles install the app each week. OkCupid reports 1M of its 3M users utilize the GPS feature. And HowAboutWe estimates that 1 in 4 of its online daters are now incorporating location based dating into their search for a soul mate. One of the biggest problems with GPS dating is the immediacy of it. MeetMoi, which sends profiles of people in your general location, says they never share a user's exact location. SinglesAroundMe has privacy options that allow users to turn off their location GPS or to hide their profile.
