Iceland Dating App

Iceland is a country on an island in the north part of the Atlantic between Greenland and Europe. Iceland only has a population of 320,000 which means for the most part every Icelander is related to everyone else to varying degrees. While it would be fun to say you are related to the singer Bjork it can make dating a bit of a headache. You don't want to find out that your current boyfriend or girlfriend is a not to distant cousin.

The people who brought Icelanders Íslendingabók (which means 'The Book of Icelanders') that contains the family tree information of over 720,000 people born on Iceland, have a new Android dating app which hopes to solve the problem of dating someone who you didn't realize is a close relative. The app is also called Íslendingabók. Both people need the app and all they have to do to activate it is bump their phones together. This plays right into the apps slogan which is "Bump the app before you bump in bed". Once you have bumped phones the app they takes the users names and creates a family tree based on the database. With the family tree you can then see how closely you are related to the person.

The app Íslendingabók is currently in beta and can be found on the Google Play store.
