Thanks jmtame. FriendsTonight is similar with some key differences - you don't need to be single - mixed groups and odd numbered groups are okay (2 women vs 5 men and women) - it's free - all chats and likes disappear at the end

Great point dhimes! Not everyone that uses the app necessarily has to be "on the prowl". I definitely was thinking about people in their early 30's and how hard to meet new people at that age. If you have any ideas how to tar

Hey swah- do you want to develop apps for home country or for the US? I used to have an android version- but it was so difficult to maintain two code bases. Also it's very difficult to make (decent) money in the app store just by selli

Thanks! It's not just for groups of guys and girls- mixed groups can meet as well!

That's true- but I think it would've made the app even more difficult to work. Maybe it's a feature I can add when I have more users. However FriendsTonight will show you if you have any mutual facebook friends.

That's a good point- but I'm hoping FriendsTonight can be the icebreaker to meet in the real world. The rest is up to you. :)

Hey morgante, You can use FriendsTonight as a single person, but really would prefer you to use it as a group (it's more safe and less awkward). Have you ever been out with a few of your friends and tried to meet new people (either rom

Great article leoplct- I definitely read this article and it influenced the way I designed my app. FriendsTonight can't force you to meet new people, but we try to make it as less awkward as possible by making it "groups meeting g

Yep, it's the same concept, but different implementations. For FriendsTonight, we really want people to be spontaneous. So all likes, matches, and chats disappear at the end of the night.

Thanks wangjii! I'm still figuring that out, but I know it involves a lot of hustlin' on my end.

Hey willow9886, thanks for your comment- there's plenty of dating apps, but there aren't too many apps for you to meet new people in real life. I really enjoy meeting new people, but I'm in a committed relationship, so it&#x2

Hey jetpm- I totally agree. I wish we had an android version, but it's too hard for me to manage two codebases at once. You can leave your email at http://www.friendstonightapp.com/#download in the android request sect

Thanks vonklaus- you're completely right- it is very similar to tinder and grouper- however FriendsTonight has a few main differences 1. We're about meeting new people in groups, not dating- I actively tried to reduce the "da

Thanks uniclaude! You definitely hit it nail on the head about meeting up in groups- it's a lot less awkward and safer. FriendsTonight is less about dating and more about meeting new people- I envision it as more like meeting new peopl
