Actually, it uses a bit more info than that to help people match but its connectivity with the [iPhone's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-app) built-in Health app is what makes it most unique. Like other dating apps, Lime connects to a user's [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faxo) profile to gather a list of interests. However, it also calculates your [steps and heart rate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stepup) over the last seven days when determining the percentage of a match. The Lime dating app also uses location to encourage meetups. If two potential matches are close by (distance is measured in steps) a "Go" request can be sent. These requests are for simple activities, like grabbing a bite to eat or a cup of coffee. The Lime dating app is currently available as a free iOS download with an Android version coming soon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fitness-focused Dating Apps:** The trend of integrating fitness data into dating apps presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in personalization and health-focused relationships. - **Health Tracking in Matchmaking:** The trend of using health and fitness data to match potential partners opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in personalized connections and wellness-focused relationships. - **Location-based Meetups in Dating Apps:** The trend of enabling location-based meetups in dating apps creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in facilitating spontaneous and convenient first dates. ### Where This Applies - **Fitness Apps:** The fitness app industry can explore integrating matchmaking features to create a unique experience for health-conscious individuals. - **Dating Apps:** Dating app providers can incorporate health and fitness data to offer users a more personalized and wellness-focused matchmaking experience. - **Technology and Wearable Devices:** The technology and wearables industry can capitalize on integrating dating features into fitness devices, offering users a seamless experience in both areas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dating App Running Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinder-solemates-challenge.md) - [Dating App-Supported Fitness Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surf-dating.md) - [Productivity-Focused Exercise Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steppin.md) - [Fruit-Themed Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruitz-1.md) - [Gym-Focused Dating App Badges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-and-bumble.md) - [Social Media Dating Profiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/likelike.md) - [Social Fitness Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-partners.md) - [Fruit-Themed Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruitz.md) - [Fitness Buddy Finders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swolemate.md)
