Social dating iPhone app AreYouInterested.com has announced a raft of new features. 

The service, run by SNAP Interactive, aims to make real-time communication between users easier with the new features. 

Now at version 3.3, the AreYouInterested.com app update adds real-time notifications for when a compatible match is nearby, which the company says makes it easy to meet potential dates in real-time. The new Spotlight feature allows users to purchase a slot to be featured in other users deeds, so they are more prominently displayed. 

The app also allows users to employ the iPhones front-facing camera, so that you can take and send pictures to potential matched while you live-chat with them. 

“In order for a mobile dating app to be compelling for the user, a large number of members are required to ensure there are enough matches when a user conducts his or her search,” said SNAPs President and CEO, Clifford Lerner.

“With an install base of 46 million to draw from, AreYouInterested.com has achieved the necessary critical mass of users and we believe is therefore poised to be a leader in the emerging mobile dating space.”
