The candiDate dating service connects conscientious singles looking to meet someone who shares their politics. The app uses your opinions on today's hot button issues (such as abortion, guns, gay marriage, the environment, foreign policy, the economy and your views on different politicians) to connect you to like-minded matches. Republicans, Democrats, Tea Partiers, Independents, Greens, conservatives and liberals – all are welcome to use the nonpartisan app.

The native Android app was developed by HelpsGood, an award-winning digital agency, and is powered by Rock the Vote's easy-to-use voter registration system with political data sourced from Vote Smart, the premier non-partisan, citizen-driven organization devoted to voter education. Google Play just featured the app in its New + Updated section.

"candiDate is like Tinder or OkCupid for people who are truly passionate about what matters most," said HelpsGood CEO, Michael Bellavia. Addressing some of the controversy around dating exclusively within political lines, Bellavia added, "You can always change some of your answers to reach across the political aisle. We're hopeful candiDate can connect people who care deeply about core issues and bring more people together in 2015."

As covered by The Daily Beast, Meghan McCain, Take Part Live and Red Alert Politics, the candiDate app is available for free on Google Play and can be accessed via candiDate's official website, Facebook and Twitter social media accounts. If you are successful in love, tweet @candiDate_app with the hashtag #candiDateapp.
