Tinder Unauthorized brings the dating service to Windows Phone

Many companies still ignore Windows Phone due to its low market share. It's a little unfortunate, but awe-inspiring as well to see how "rogue" developers take it to themselves to fill the blanks. One such programmer is Brian Hamachek, who decided to single-handedly bring Tinder, an online dating service, to Windows Phone. His creation, Tinder Unauthorized, basically clones the Android and iOS Tinder apps onto Microsoft's mobile OS.

Tinder Unauthorized lets you view a "stack" of photos of people nearby who might be of interest to you. You can Like or Pass on their photos, assess the situation further by viewing friends and likes you have in common, and start messaging. The app uses the same Tinder network as the official iOS and Android versions.

The app is free, open-source, and has no advertisements. Currently, it's waiting for approval in the Windows Phone Store. Meanwhile, users with developer unlocked WP devices can already side-load Tinder Unauthorized. It's available from the link below.
