“Does My Crush Like Me Back?” … Now There’s an App for That
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) May 04, 2018 -- Remember the crush on that special one, whom you never approached?
Maybe you were too shy, or just not sure that the feeling was mutual, and didn’t want to jeopardize the friendship. Only if there was a way to know, or a friend that you both told secrets to, and knew when the crush was mutual… well, ‘Rapt’ is here to help!
The name, Rapt, literally means interested and fascinated. It is basically a matching algorithm, and works like this: download the app from the App Store or Google Play, then sign up for free, and secretly ‘mark’ or ‘tag’ that very special one (or ones) from the phone’s contact list. "Now, you’ll just have to wait!" If the other side marks you on Rapt too, you both will be notified with a ‘match notification’.
“Till the time is right, your secret is safe with us!” says Afshin Tajian, the Los Angeles based founder of the company who holds a Master’s Degree in electrical engineering from the New York University. “The idea came to me when I realized that traditional match and dating websites and apps are all doing the same thing, which is introducing some strangers to each other… what if your best match is someone you already know and like?” adds Afshin. “I’ve been involved with a number of organizations for the youth and singles. I know them very well, and their tendency at times to keep certain feelings secret, without sharing or acting on them. This is where Rapt comes into play”.
The user can mark someone by having a phone number or email address from her or him. So, no more need for secret crush quiz, guesswork, or making a rumor and hoping it turns to reality!
The user can mark up to two contacts for free, credits can be purchased inside the app to make additional marks. The user can also invite others from the phone’s contact list to download the app. “Inviting someone to download the app might soon replace the traditional asking out!”, Afshin says, “when you invite someone to download the app, they’d know what it means… that you’re going to mark them on the app and you’d really like them to mark you too!”
Rapt was recently released in the US and a few other countries, and received instant good reviews from users and review websites. The title of the app on the iTunes App Store is ‘Rapt Secret Crush’, and on the Google Play is ‘RAPT: does my secret crush love me back?!’. The application’s website is http://www.myrapt.com, and the company can be reached at [email protected] for questions or inquiries.
A user who recently used Rapt and was just matched with his longtime crush told us “there can’t be a higher excitement than the time I got the match notification on Rapt… this is the moment that you finally know your crush loves you back!”.
