San Diego, CA (PRWEB) February 11, 2009 -- Dating DNA, LLC (www.datingdna.com), the Internet's leading free dating service for social networks, today announced their new Dating DNA Plus iPhone app with "Match Radar," available for immediate free download from Apple's iTunes App Store (www.datingdna.com/iphoneinfo).

Dating DNA introduced the first-ever dating application for the iPhone back in November of last year, and today announced Dating DNA Plus, a completely new application with dozens of enhancements, including their "Match Radar" technology. As an iPhone user moves about, Dating DNA's Match Radar monitors the user's location and notifies them of other singles in their immediate vicinity who meet a set of dating criteria.

Dating DNA users may set criteria in dozens of categories, including race, age, education, physical attributes, religion, financial stability, and many more. For example, a user could ask to be notified anytime someone is within a 1/2 mile of them, who is single, between the ages of 23 to 28, doesn't smoke, has a college degree, is at least 6' tall, has an athletic build, brown eyes, owns a home, has an upper-middle income, works in the medical field, and is Catholic.

Every Dating DNA user completes an extensive survey, covering over 300 points of compatibility. This information is then synthesized down and used by Dating DNA's Match Radar to instantly create Compatibility Scores with others nearby. Users also set a "Compatibility Threshold," which specifies the compatibility level required to be considered a "Match." To protect a user's privacy, they remain "invisible" to other's Match Radar unless that user meets their Compatibility Threshold. When users are notified of a Match, both users may choose to communicate via Dating DNA's built-in messaging system, further protecting their privacy by not requiring users to share names, phone numbers or email addresses.

"Just like everyone's genetic DNA is different, so to is everyone's 'dating DNA,'" said Kevin Carmony, CEO and Founder of Dating DNA. "Whether you're spontaneously looking for singles in the same coffee shop as you, or planning a trip across the globe, Dating DNA's Match Radar uses your unique 'dating DNA' to help you meet and communicate with hundreds of compatible singles worldwide or right next door."
