Two new mobile applications that do make the difference and stand out

We all should admit that dating online at free dating websites usually takes much of your free time and is a bit difficult, especially for newcomers to this sphere, despite the fact mobile dating apps today become more suited for seeking flirting and long-term relationships.

Anyway, if you even get your match, swiping right on your smartphone, there is no guarantee that you will find someone for dating as many people use dating apps just for fun and talking about nothing. So, if you are still going to find your life partner via the dating applications, you might be interested to have a look at two apps that position themselves to make online dating more traditional. So of all the possible alternatives there are, particularly…

An app, which uses matches of your visual interests

The mobile app Twine Canvas, designed and launched by SourceBits, takes the advantage of the Visual Web service to make collage canvases in users’ profiles and group people by interests. In case two members of Twine Canvas like each other’s collections of pics, the app automatically shares the pictures in their profiles.

As its developers claim, Twine Canvas was created as “an anti hook-up app”, so its aim was rather to assist people in their self-expression, so that they could meet interesting people. Like with the other dating apps, invites can be either ignored or accepted. In case both members accept the match, they can begin chatting. Twine Canvas application allows it users to go directly to conversation, suggesting topics for discussion, based on information from their profiles. That actually contributes a lot to erasing the awkward moments during the first contact. Twine Canvas works only under iOS at the moment, but the company is going to launch it on Android as well.

New opportunities for blind dating with Grouper

If you want to go on a blind date, but don’t know how to overcome your shyness or sense of awkwardness, then new Grouper app might possibly help you. Designed as a “social club”, the application can arrange drinks between two groups of friends: three men and three women; three guys and three guys and so on.

Grouper uses your Facebook account to match you with other people, using information about your age, profession, hobbies and lifestyle. At the same time, it doesn’t reveal the names or information on the people who you are going on a date with, so you have a surprise when you get to the spot. Grouper was originally a web-based app, but it is now available for iOS as well.
