Tinder makes it so our generation flirts remotely. It's convenient and fun for many, but can make the average trip to a bar quite dull as the stools fill up with smartphone-screen bingeing regulars.

Trovi can change that. Esperanto for "find", Trovi allows you to see who desires to talk/hang/flirt in YOUR bar, coffee shop, or place where socialization is the norm.

It's easy, open the app and select a profile picture. Throw your first name on a card and let Trovi know if you're available to chat with new people.

Now Trovi will show you the main screen, a carousel of other users with their single profile photo and first name. Look for that person in your current venue, get up, and go strike up a conversation. It can't be that hard.

"Hey, Jen? I saw you on Trovi. And I have to ask, are you my appendix? I don't know what you do or how you work but I feel like I should take you out."

Throw that phone away! But, not really, we still want you to know who wants to be hit on.
