New dating app Once matches users based on their heartbeat

PanARMENIAN.Net - They say you should follow your heart in the dating game, and this app helps you do that literally, Digital Spy said citing TechCrunch.

Once for iOS and Android devices has added support for fitness trackers so users can see which matches really get their blood pumping.

The application makes use of the sensors inside Fitbit and Android Wear devices to determine which potential dates you're most physically attracted to.

It's a tactic previously adapted for Tinder by a group of Apple Watch developers - although it turned the dating app into a completely hands-free experience.

Aside from its clever use of fitness tech, Once differentiates itself from the likes of Tinder and OKCupid by offering a "slow dating" experience.

This essentially means that the service fixes you up with one match per day, so the more discerning daters can take extra consideration before breaking the digital ice.

Once is now available to download for iOS and Android devices in the UK, France and Spain.
