Dating a girl that looks like a celebrity

A Tinder spokesperson said that Tinder doesn’t allow automated scraping of its API, and that they “contacted the developer to inform them that the app is violating our terms, and we have been told that they will address the issue.” Ahrens would not confirm that Tinder asked his company to stop using its API, but said, “we’ve been having very a productive conversation with them.”

A rep from Plenty of Fish (Tinder, Match, and Plenty of Fish are all owned by the same parent company, but operate separately) said that it was trying to get Dating.ai removed from the iTunes app store. “That’s news to me,” said Ahrens.

Ahrens and his business partner say that Dating.ai is acting in an affiliate capacity and compared it to the innovation of airfare booking sites. “Priceline and Expedia freaked out airlines at first,” Ahrens said. “Users like innovation. When they did 'name your own price,' our users are doing 'name your own face.'”

Right now, the future of Dating.ai seems unclear. Ahrens and his business partner would only say that they are looking forward to working with the dating apps; Tinder, Match, and Plenty of Fish tell a different story. For now, the app is still up in the app store and still pulling Tinder profiles. We’ll update if anything changes.
