Tinder – it’s all fun and games until someone finds out their partner is swiping away looking for some side action.

Of course in the past you would have had to rely on a friend coming across your partner’s profile, which would mean an overseas trip with a touch of Tinder would be hard to police.

Until now that is, a new website set to change all that and wreck many a seemingly happy home. Over to Vanity Fair:

A new site, Swipe Buster, allows people to see for themselves whether their significant other (or boss, or friend, or ex-flame, or parent) is active on the app. For a $5 fee, users can input into a search field the first name, age, and location of anyone whom they want to check up on.

Swipe Buster subsequently retrieves the data from Tinder’s application programming interface, or A.P.I., which holds all of this information about its users. (Tinder’s A.P.I. and database are public, making it easily accessible and sortable for anyone with a certain understanding of computer code. It is common among technology companies to have open A.P.I.s, so other companies can build ancillary products around their core experience.)

Then the site displays the users who fit those criteria, allowing users to see their photos, when they logged on, and whether they are seeking out men or women.

Boom, game over – you can check out Swipe Buster’s site HERE.

So where does that leave those relationships teetering on shaky ground? How about instead of Tinder you spice things up a little between the sheets – sex toys are all the rage at present and South Africans have hopped on board in a big way.

Heck we’ll make it easy – head over HERE, you can win a hamper with all the goodies you need to delete Tinder once and for all.
