A revolutionary dating app, Wingr, built in Houston by creators Howard Edwards and Jay Cooper, looks to help bring back real connections when it comes to dating and normalizing having a wing person to back you up.
by creators Howard Edwards and Jay Cooper, looked to help bring back real connections when it comes to dating.
"It felt like we were really losing touch with a lot of the basis, which comes naturally in the dating world, which is having some type of trust, having some type of group or acknowledgment that can come into play to say, ‘Hey, you know, as your friend, we kind of may know what you like, but we also may have a different perspective of what may be best for you as well,'" Cooper said. "And I didn't see that there was anything like that available out in the dating market.
"So we wanted to take that process and build it into an intuitive way into the app to where people can now join, and we created a portal for them to be able to download the app and only to send profiles to their friends or create group chats, all the things that we're doing already, we made it seamless into one environment," he continued.
In addition to the positive feedback left in reviews, some users have even approached the creators to personally tell them how much they loved the app. As Edwards told the story, it all started after he and Cooper did some marketing photos and went out for drinks afterward. "I'm single now, and I can't tell you how many profiles I've seen for years, starting with the lingo of people literally putting in their bio, 'No one even reads this, I'm not going to fill this out,' like things like that," Edwards said.
