A New App Called Blue Wants To Hook You Up With Verified Twitter Celebs

Dating apps catering to exclusive clientele are becoming an increasingly prominent part of the industry. The League may be the most famous example, but there’s also Inner Circle and the mysterious Raya. Even Tinder has gotten in on the game with Tinder Select, a secret, members-only version of the app for its top users.

Loveflutter is the latest company to jump on the elite bandwagon with a new premium version of its app, called BLUE. BLUE promises to admit users into an exclusive world full of “celebrities and other Twitter blue tick holders” - in other words, you can woo Twitter’s hottest verified singles, providing you too have that little blue check by your name.

In a world overrun by YouTube stars and Instagram influencers, BLUE may sound like a ploy to appeal to today’s social media-obsessed singles - and in some ways it probably is - but it also serves a genuine purpose: safety.

“In an era of catfishing and fake identities, authenticity is key, which is why we’re leveraging Twitter’s world-class verification system to make dating safer,” explained a company blog post announcing BLUE. “With nearly 200k accounts verified by government-issued photo id, Twitter’s blue tick community is the largest pool of 100% real users online, anywhere.”

By dating only amongst other verified Twitter users, you know you’re talking to a real person. Plus, easy access to a match’s Twitter profile provides more information about them than a profile ever could. Those in the public Twitter eye may be especially grateful for the opportunity to swipe amongst a ready-made community of like-minded singles who know the value of privacy and authenticity.

Loveflutter knows being a social media celebrity is a full-time job, so it will soon be launching a dating concierge service just for BLUE members. The BLUE Concierge will arrange handpicked introductions and discreet dates in your city’s most intimate and exclusive venues. Details of the members-only benefits of BLUE Concierge will be released soon, along with a monthly subscription fee.

For now, Loveflutter will be testing various price points to determine the final number. BLUE is currently free for the first 1,000 founding members to join in each major city. The premium service will launch first in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, London, and Tokyo. More cities will follow.

BLUE is the latest phase of Loveflutter’s integration with Twitter, which began earlier this year with the introduction of tweets on profiles. To test it out, download Loveflutter available for iOS or Android at their respected stores and sign up with your verified Twitter account. You’ll be notified when to update your app to the premium version.
