Collaborative Dating Apps

The 'Wingman' Dating App That Lets Friends Pick Dates for Users

— May 4, 2017 — Tech
Finding love just got a little easier with the 'Wingman' dating app that allows friends to pick users' dates for them. The dating app pulls basic information from one's Facebook page and asks users to select a few friends who are willing to take control of their profile. Featuring a similar model as Tinder, the platform allows friends to swipe, select, and send matches straight to one's phone.

The app helps daters break out of their routine dating habits by exposing and introducing them to different people, in a safe, and approachable manner. This platform also lightens the possible impact that rejection could have on the user.

The Wingman dating app is perfect for people who are too shy to use similar platforms, for friends looking to try something new, or for those looking to set friends up with a match of their choice.
