Pinch Helps Expand Your Social Circle Through Some Neat Matchmaking

Posted by Jennifer Allen on July 11th, 2014

iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad

New to the App Store is Pinch, a dating app that hopes to make finding your perfect match more fun and that bit easier than it was before.

By using your Facebook friends, it enables you to browse friends of your friends before 'pinching' them to get in touch, all with the blessing of your mutual friend. The fun part comes from being able to ask a series of 'and/or' questions to get the idea of what kind of things that person enjoys most. It's simple but potentially quite fun.

Pinch is out now on the App Store and it's a free download.
