Wingman Apple iPhone app lets you check-in to location – there’s Foursquare integration- and it lets you know how many other single people are at the venue. Or, at least how many single people with the Wingman app are at the location. The goal is to make a connection via the app and then move that over to the real life. Additionally, there could be huge issues with privacy, particularly if some creepy guy just wants to stalk one of the ladies who enters the bar. Yeah, it may be a bit sexist of me to automatically assume the dudes are the ones who will cause problems but whatever – We know the truth. It looks like there are some features which could help mitigate the creep factor. When you check in with Wingman, you get an anonymous message which says someone at that location wants to mingle. You then get to choose from a series of photos and if you like the person’s appearance, then you get to chat via the mobile program. The Wingman Apple iPhone app is free and it will be launching in Seattle with some drink specials at certain locations.
