This Dating App Matches Users Based on Their Netflix Viewing History
Katherine Pendrill — July 24, 2015 — Lifestyle
'Netfling' is a new dating app that matches individuals based on their Netflix viewing history. If your idea of a perfect date is curling up on the couch with your favorite Netflix movie or TV show, this app may just be for you.
The Netfling app uses the same interface as Tinder, but with a Netflix-inspired twist. The app gathers data from your Netflix account and figures out what your most watched films and TV shows are. The app will then present potential matches based on those who share your taste in pop culture. The idea behind the app is that since binge watching has become such a key element of modern relationships, why not connect potential mates based on their favorite shows?
While there is much more to compatibility than a shared love of television, this app may be a good way for movie aficionados to connect with like-minded individuals.
