You’re busted… That’s a current storyline from this season’s Ted Lasso on Apple TV.

I know this story is just made up, and I don't know why you thought it would be cute for you to do this instead of just answering my question, but... I think this app would lead to a lot of problems. I'm sure it would be fine for people who are super attractive, but it's not going to work when people realize their date isn't the hottie they imagined.

Care to summarize the article. I'm not subscribed to WSJ.

Does it just say "fictional dating app Bantr"?

Does the Feeld app actually work for anyone? It stopped working for me about a year ago and is permanently broken.


Feeld works, but isn't fruitful for me.

OKCupid is.

That app matches tastes in music.

I tried The League and it was terrible - almost no one in D.C., and they weren't impressive. If I had the flexibility to date anyone in the U.S., it may have been a bit better.

Feeld is mostly for couples looking for a third, at least from what I’ve heard from friends (basically they were telling me not to waste my time on it). I wouldn’t think there would be many people on it looking for a monogamous longterm relationship, but I haven’t been on it myself yet, so could definitely be wrong!
