Are you sick of swiping right for muscular hunks (like Gong Yoo), and getting all your hopes dashed, because they turn out to be nothing more than just couch potatoes? If you are, then it’s time for you to migrate from Tinder or Bumble to Lime!

Lime, which launched last month is the brainchild of Edward Chen, and it is the first dating app that uses it user’s step count data (from Apple’s IOS Health) and suggests potential matches based on how compatible people’s walking habits are. This is great, isn’t it? Now you can finally avoid pairing up with someone who loves to head for a night run when you’d rather stay in to catch up on Korean dramas.

Here are the things that Team MyFatPocket like about the app.
Friendly Users’ Interface
We love how Lime displays the most compatible matches first, thus saving the hassle from swiping through unwanted profiles to find a match.

If you’re interested in a match, you can simply send them one of the three “Go’ requests-“Meetup now”, “Grab a coffee” or “Grab a bite”. This feature totally eliminates the agony of spending half the day thinking of a suitable pick-up-line.
Sophisticated Matching Algorithm
Unlike any other dating apps, Lime adopts a deeper matching algorithm by matching its users’ activity by time and day—are you walking more on mornings, weekdays or weekends. This not only enhances the chances of getting a match but also reduce the “unhappiness” of finding a compatible time slot to date. Imagine your date insists on going out at a timing when you usually do your walks.
Brings Back Traditional Approach
The cutest thing about Lime is it functions like a radar, showing your nearby matches and their distances to you calculated in steps. If that is not enough, it even shows your potential date’s real time step count. This encourages bringing back the traditional approach of going out and meeting your date in person, rather than just messaging endlessly and never going out.

Encourage Walking
The potential matches change according to your location, which means that as you walk, new “hunks” show up. Think of it like Pokemon Go, but instead of virtual creatures, you’re actually snagging a cute dude. If that doesn’t encourage you to do more walking, then we don’t know what would.
If you're worried about your safety, fret not, because the app doesn’t reveal your physical location, but displays and approximate distance between you and a potential hunk.
