Match.com

Tags: , , ,

Match.com is a front-end to the popular dating site on the Palm Pre. You can search for and browse profiles of other members of Match.com with this location-aware application. Signing-up to the site is free and can be done with no hassles from right within the app on your Pre. If the GPS location detection fails for whatever reason, the app falls back on your zipcode to narrow down searches. Profile information includes the last date of activity on the site, location information, photos, and other basic information that users opt to share. You can message people and track your favorite profiles from within the application. You can track interactions with other members easily through a “Connections” tab.

This app remembers your login and password so you won’t have to keep typing them in every time you launch the application. The interface is pretty clean and offers collapsible sections that really help you absorb profile information easily. The search feature is location-aware and allows you to search based on various criteria, including age range, and allows you to limit results to profiles with shared photos only. You can also narrow your search based on distance and other factors. Overall, this is a full-featured networking and dating app on the Palm Pre and the presence of messaging, favorites, and the ability to track connections makes this an excellent complement to the website itself.
