Apps Twoo offers desktop and browser applications for your computer, and phone applications for Android, IOS and Windows Phone. Desktop application sends you a notification when you receive a message, someone likes you, you get a visitor and so on. It is a intrusive and sometimes will malfunction. Android App is a little slow and offers the same functionalities but on your phone. 11

Problems If the website was mine, what would I do to improve it? When presented with a person from a different town, show the distance between that town and mine. If I am looking for a girl to have a relationship, don’t show me a married woman who wants to make friends, we might be compatible as people but we are not looking for the same thing. 12

Controversy Complaints where received by users about the Twoo spaming them and their contacts with s without their consent. This will some scare people away since they might not want some people in their enviroment to know they are involved in this kind of site. However it might be the reason the website expanded so quickly and why it receives so many daily visits. 16

Conclusion It is for free, you can give it a try and you have nothing to lose. If you really depend on it you will end up buying a premium account, and then it is not free anymore. Possibly will work better in a big city where you have more users around you. 17
