14 DAY TRIAL // Speed Date.com is known as the world’s first and largest fast-dating website. The site recently announced the release of a new dating application to suit the iPhone’s platform. The app allows users to meet and instantly connect with singles using their smartphones.
The BusinessWire.com relates that the application is considered to be a big step forward in the online dating industry, being a pioneer in delivering instant notifications once the emails have been picked up. It also facilitates unlimited browsing of a huge amount of photos and profiles worldwide. SpeedDate Mobile is downloaded onto an iPhone or iPod touch and single users will be a finger-slide away from millions of other singles’ profiles. They choose a match and start email conversations or sharing visuals. Specific filters have been defined inside the application and users can narrow their searches based on different keys, such as age or location.
The singles can manage their contacts and update their profiles from their personal iPhones, as the SpeedDate Mobile is fully integrated with SpeedDate.com. The main purpose of such a product came up with the company’s aim to extend a quick and easy concept for local/global matchmaking. Even more, the app’s format eliminates the long, annoying questionnaires or dating surveys and encloses the matchmaking process in the hands of the dater through live interaction, once the connection has been made.
“The online dating industry continues to be one of the few bright spots in our current economic climate, boasting steady growth month over month,” Dan Abelon, co-founder and president of SpeedDate.com, points out. “Now consider that over 172.4 million smartphones were sold just in the last year alone and the potential of mobile-based dating becomes clear. SpeedDate first brought live speed dating to the Internet, and after listening to our users’ desire to expand to smartphones, we have now delivered a mobile app for dating singles on the go.”
SpeedDate Mobile is compatible with iPhones running OS 3.0 or later and with the iPod touch.
