Anyone used the new 'whos near' app on site? A bit stalkerish or useful swinger aid? Hurts out for me. I could just turn it off I know.

I don't get the "Hurts out for me".

I think it is no different from doing a search and seeing who is close, so doesn't bother me

I think its a good idea, you already search who's in your area mostly anyway so if you find someone round the corner everyones a winner

Anyone have an iPhone 4s and has tried to use the feature? I activated mine but this message accompanied it:

Permission denied. Although you have turned ON the feature on the website, you have denied the site permission to ask your phone for its location. To use this feature you need to allow the website permission to use your location.

Any ideas how to do the above lol x

Thanks in advance x

For the iPhone you have to go to settings, then location data, then turn on Safari and it will then work through the mobile app...

I'm usually shit at things like this I sound slightly techy their !!

No because it tells you who is currently near you not who lives near you

Well what a bloody joke, 5 miles! That's hardly narrowing anything down is it?

I'm feeling a bit of an idiot now that it looks like I've bought this duct tape and chloroform for nothing! Grrrrrr!!!!!!

Yea your pretty blessed in that regard, it's a shame the lord channeled all his talent on your block button and not as much on your tact, personality....etc etc etc

Might give it a try seeing as there's some places I think 'where the fuck is that' and then realise they actually don't live that far away so are still local.

Obviously people who live in the big cities and recognised places probably don't really need it anyway.

Just a novelty, you cannot filter in it so get everyone rather than those you want to meet. Give it a week and people will stop using it.

Or only 3 females who are using the new feature, not everyone will be on their mobile and even if they are not everyone will switch the feature on.
