To help bridge singles over the festive period, MeetDrinks launches iOS and Android app

MeetDrinks, now available on Android and iOS

For immediate release - Singapore, 24/12/14 - With the festive season soon to be in full swing, eligible singles can get straight to the point of dating - to meet and have drinks. Aptly named for the exact purpose, MeetDrinks is a social meet-up application that brings like-minded people closer together over a mutual appreciation for drinks and conversations.

To coincide with the merry-making season, MeetDrinks has released its iOS and Android app. With a slogan of "Better Matches, Better Times", MeetDrinks promises to match compatible urbanites in the same area on a first date.

"The holidays is the best time to meet new people as everyone is winding down and in a happy mood, " says John Fearon, co-founder of MeetDrinks. "By removing the chatter of other dating apps and focusing on people meeting up, we will bridge people closer over Christmas and the New Year period."

Here's how MeetDrinks works. First, enter a profile to indicate preferences and interests. Second, take a selfie (no uploaded pictures) for easy recognition. Third, state your general location to narrow down the search.

Then the app will allow you to choose from a list of people with similar tastes in your area. When one counterpart agrees, both will be directed to a venue to meet for drinks at mutually convenient time.

To help break the ice and confirm a reservation, you will pre-order drinks in-app. One or both parties can buy drink credits - starting from as low as $10SGD. After that, show up to meet your match.

The app is perfect for Professionals, Managers and Executives who have everything - except time to waste. Meeting new people who are in sync with their schedules and interests will be high on their priorities list.

To enhance the experience, MeetDrinks has signed up interesting and conducive venues for dates. Users will be directed to quaint locales with unique atmospheres to be in the mood. With an extensive list of bars, restaurants, clubs, cafes and more - meeting new people has never been simpler. Also, participating venues will see increased crowd, expenditure and especially so on quiet shifts.

"Online dating is a global opportunity and our niche of offering 'Better Matches, Better Times' will appeal to venues and customers everywhere," says Fearon. "We currently have people on the ground in Shanghai, Singapore, Bangkok & London."

To get the good times rolling, users can signup now to get $2.50 SGD towards their first drink. After that, they can create and forward an unique URL to invite friends to try MeetDrinks - for every signup, they will get an additional $2.50 SGD.
