I’ve tried, and been disappointed by, various mobile phone-based dating services in the past. Perhaps these companies can improve the experience to the point where people over 25 will actually see them as worthwhile. No phone-based app beats checking out dating site search results on a 21″ monitor, but they are great for Location-based services like Toothing.
