Dating apps are mostly a solitary effort, with users swiping on prospective soulmates from the comfort of their own couch. Ship, a dating app that lets single people involve friends in the matchmaking process, may change that. The Match Group and Betches Media have now released an Android version of Ship, which lets users swipe for their friends and discuss profiles in group messages. With Ship, users can invite their friends as well as parents, siblings and especially wise roommates to join a "crew". Members of the user's crew can swipe on dating profiles on their behalf.
