App-based matchmaker – Tinder – continues its monetisation offensive with the launch of a paid-for version, allowing users to ‘undo’ the dreaded accidental left-swipe.
The feature is available in the UK for £7,99 per month – and rolls out next month in the US, allowing users to sweep up the accidental swipes, as well as unlocking the proximity-based selection service which will allow users to explore other cities with the “Passport” feature.
A Tinder spokesperson told Tech Crunch: “Both of Tinder’s mobile apps recently received updates on the respective app stores where the feature was mentioned in the app’s update text – hinting at an imminent arrival.
“However, Tinder says that Plus is not yet being enabled for end users in the US at this time – and the app’s update text descriptions will be edited to reflect this. Instead, the dating service says its US launch is still on track for a mid-to-late March time frame.”
It’s already launched in the UK with a price of £2.49
