For the past few years, the modern dating world has been largely ruled by an influx of addictive yet disappointing dating apps à la Tinder or apps promising to be "like Tinder BUT". But now, there's finally a new breed of dating app here to help guide the single people of 2015—without having to swipe left or right. Enter Jyst, the first-ever decoder app that crowdsources dating advice anonymously. The app lets users pose their dating dilemmas or questions that will then be decoded and advised upon anonymously by users across the globe. So instead of screenshotting every text and email from him to ask your best friend, mom, or co-worker "What does his text mean?" or "Is he into me?" now you can pose the question to an entire platform anonymously and receive real feedback.
Cofounded by columnist and author Emily Listfield and digital media expert Nadina Guglielmetti, the idea came about when the two real-life friends kept asking each other to decode texts and emails from the guys they were dating. "I was dating a guy who kept sending me the most confusing emails and I kept sending them to my friend Nadina for advice. Every girl and woman we know was doing the same. Dating, frankly, has never been more confusing," Listfield said of the inspiration behind Jyst.
Whether you're meeting people in real life or whether you're still holding onto relationship prospects via apps like Tinder and Bumble—Jyst is the perfect way to decode all the questionable dating situations you encounter along the way. Because let's face it, navigating the dating world in the modern age of social media is a feat that requires all the advice we can get.
Jyst is available to download for free here.
