TWU students create dating app for the iPhone

Posted by admin on Nov 9, 2010 in Arts & Culture | 0 comments

We’ve all heard about the application craze Apple has created for iPhones and iPads. Now there is an app that can guarantee you are not being boring and predictable when attempting to wow your woman. Trinity Western University’s Jason Ballard and Josiah Peters invented an app to help with the predicament.

Let’s face it: the old dinner-and-a-movie routine is getting old, overdone, and unoriginal. Girls want to be wowed and appreciated on our dates; spontaneity is key. Enter: “The DateBank,” the solution to all your dating worries.

The DateBank is Ballard and Peters’ first iPhone and iPad app, featuring countless romantic and original date ideas. You select your style of the date (e.g., traditional, chatty, playful, outdoorsy, artsy, at-home, adventurous), your budget, and the time of day, and boom: a list of incredible dates come up with full description of each, as well as a list of exactly what you’ll need to make it happen.

This all started with two guys on a mission to bring life back to dating. Their goal was to create a spectrum of creative and affordable dates that could be used for either the low-budget university student, or the wealthy married couple. DateBank will help any couple, whether you are going out for the first time, or you’ve been married for years. “Dating can get formulaic after a while, but there are ways to inject creativity into your relationship” says Peters, the 25-year-old designer. As a girl who has always been a hopeless romantic and has high standards for an extraordinary date, I can confidently tell all of you men out there that every option in the DateBank will sweep your lady off of her feet.

This app is a must-have. Rated 5 stars in the app store, the DateBank is a practical and affordable tool to spice up your romantic relationships. After experiencing the DateBank first hand, James Blackmen says, “This app is practical and so fun. I love the wit and humor, and my wife and I look forward to each date. This is a must-have app for anyone who is dating or married.” If you are looking for new date ideas, and want to surprise your special lady, make sure to download the DateBank for your next date at www.datebankapp.com.
