Relationship Applications, the App you need!

AS students are ON FIRE and have presented assorted apps they think are interesting to socialise, interact and meet other people, not only with romantic purposes, but basically to either contact to meet up, make friends or connect in a world where finding people with similar tastes gets easier thanks to new technologies. Let me share some of their multiple proposals. Although once more, due so shyness constrictions, many apps won't be shared. Too bad.
