Tinder has carved out a good chuck in the dating scene for many reasons and now the Glimpse Dating App hopes to do the same. But instead of connecting to people's Facebook feeds, it syncs with Instagram to make romantic connections happen. Just like Tinder, the Glimpse Dating App provides a deck of potential dates based on location.
Unlike Tinder, however, it encourages people to use nine photos, not including one's profile picture, to provide a well-rounded idea of who they are. According to the company, people are currently "telling the wrong story." Through the Glimpse Dating App, allows potential connections to go beyond the abs and duck faces that often take over Tinder profiles for more meaningful information.
