Apple has introduced a new phone app called iGaydar which will debut in summer of 2012.
Apple has decided to do the iGaydar app since it’ll be another fun app for their iphone users to enjoy. For those who aren’t familiar with the new app, the term gaydar refers to having an intuitive ability to determine a person’s sexual orientation.
By having the iGaydar app, users won’t have a hard time wondering if the person they’re trying to get with plays on the same team or not. Apple believes that it’ll be a big hit for their LGBT fan base.
However some iphone users aren’t too keen with the idea of having the iGaydar app. Mary Smith, a grad student, believes that some apps such as iGaydar are not meant to be made.
“I think the new iGaydar app is silly and dumb to make. I mean sure there’s nothing wrong with making fun new apps, but I just think it won’t suit well to the religious crowd,” Smith explained.
Toni Vargas, a Music major, loves the idea of having an iGaydar app. In fact, Vargas says sometimes it’s pretty hard to go out and try to hook up not knowing which girl is a lesbian.
“I mean I have zero gaydar so most of the time I end up hitting on straight chicks and it’s pretty embarrassing afterwards. I know for sure with this app at least I’ll be hitting on chicks that I know aren’t straight,” Vargas said.
The iGaydar app will be available as a free download later on this summer.
