Web Date Info

DatingDNA.com has one of the most popular dating applications at the app store.  Their dating site is relatively low in traffic, but very smooth and functional which is why I think this site/app is one to watch.  The site and iPhone or iPod Touch app is completely free, or you can pay for the “PLUS” app for $4.99.

The unique aspect of Dating DNA is every users receives a number (DNA number) which indicates dating preferences which is in turn used to match users.  I think they’ve found a way to create a matching system that doesn’t feel so tired and played out.  The app allows you to search, contact, and view other members based on their DNA, or just simply search by location.  You WILL need to register on their website first to be able to use this app.  The registration doesn’t take long, but is necessary.

I haven’t had much time to play with this app yet.  My only concern with Dating DNA and their app is the low traffic they’re seeing.  I cannot imagine that they can compete with some of the larger sites right now.  I do believe as time progresses they’ll start picking up in traffic and membership simply because they have a better site and app than most.  I’ll be reviewing Dating DNA soon to see how they stack up and if we should expect to see them around in the future.

Speeddate.com currently has the most popular dating application for the iPhone or iPod Touch! Speeddate.com announced this application was coming out prior to Valentine’s Day of this year, which has since gain in popularity. The site is geared towards speed dating and what a way to enhance its reputation by creating a user friendly and fun iPhone app.

The Speed Date App allows non-members to become members very quickly. Simply create a profile and even upload a picture directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch. After you’ve become a member, you’ll be able to flip through profiles around your current location. If and when you find a match you’d like to chat with, you can send them a flirt or a wink.

Now you can’t use all the features of the site with the application, which isn’t really expected seeing as you’re on an iPhone/iPod Touch, but the functionality is very good when compared to other dating site apps.  There is one setback to the Speed Date App, and that’s if you really want to be able to communicate with members, you’ll have sign-up for full membership, which is a pricey $59.99/month.  I’ve reviewed quite a few online dating sites, and that’s very high.  Especially for their relatively low traffic score, but that’ll be covered very soon on a full review of the Speeddate.com.

So in conclusion, the Speed Date app is great when compared to the other top online dating iPhone/iPod Touch apps, but in order to really utilize the site, you’ll have to shell out some money.

The Hot or Not iPhone App was released earlier this year and has quickly become a top dating/rating app in the app store. The application is free for all iPhone or iPod Touch users. You simply download the app, and you can begin rating users, messaging them, or even upload a picture from your phone to be rated my other members.

Hot or Not is probably the most popular picture rating website out there and it’s no surprise they have a great app available for their mobile members. A great feature of their app is you can sync with your existing account at Hot or Not.

Hot or Not has certainly taken a simple concept and made it better with their proprietary application available at the Apple App Store today.

Match.com has come out with a very useful iPhone application that allows its members to date on their iPhone or iPod Touch anywhere they have a connection. The application has only received a 2.5/5 rating at the Apple App Store which surprises me.

The stand out function of the Match.com iPhone Application would have to be the GPS single locator. It allows you to see what singles are available around you at any given point in time. This is a great way to find the singles that are truly within your vicinity. This can be a little more information than you’d like to share, so you do have the option of not enabling this feature.

Some of the features are not available with this application unless you have a paid Match.com membership. The main feature you’ll be missing out on is the ability to email members. So if you don’t have a paid membership, I doubt you’ll be able to get very far in your communication with members if you’re unable to email each other.
