Online Positioning Dating Apps

Find Singles in Your Area with the Singles Around Me App

— January 20, 2014 — Tech
The Singles Around Me app offers the answer to concerns about people knowing your exact location as well as user privacy. Its new feature, Position-Shift allows the individual to decide whether or not they want to use their current location or shift to a location close by.

The Singles Around Me app allows users three different location options: you can either hide your location, show the exact location or "shift" the location to somewhere close by. You can choose between one mile, two, five, 10 or more. The Feature gives the user full control to decide if they want people to know where they are located.

SinglesAroundMe Vice President of Media Relations Hattie Sellick told Mashable, "In a world where we are forever tracked, [Position-Shift] gives the user the ultimate option to displace their location for the sake of privacy while remaining visible and accessible to those individuals or apps they choose."
Trend Themes
1. Location-shifting Apps - The emergence of Location-Shifting apps, such as Singles Around Me, presents opportunities for developers to create innovative ways for users to protect their privacy while still participating in geolocation features.
