Bristlr Android

App to hook up aimed at bearded men

In the last few years hipster style has placed value on the beauty of a nice beard. That which a few years ago was a symptom of male laziness, today has become a symbol of masculinity and sensuality. Bristlr is a social network that aims to contact those that have beards with those that are looking for a partner with a beard.

Bristlr connects those that have beards with those who wish to caress them.

Tinder for bearded men

The first thing this app asks is whether you have a beard. As of that moment, you will have to create a profile with your likes, to indicate what you are looking for, and try to be as precise as you can. And get on with the flirting!

The basic idea of this tool is good, but this application doesn't have a very attractive design, especially compared to all the other similar options. Besides, its functioning is slightly different. Here, the deal is not to slide profiles to the left or to the right. You will simply see a list of people according to the profile you have set and you will have to hit the X or the heart. If both of you like each other (that is to say, if both hit the heart reciprocally), you can have a conversation.

What's more, the profiles of the users run a bit short. You only see bits of information like their age, location, approximate distance, the last time they were online and whom they would like to meet.

Likewise, the app includes a section to vote for "beards", and others that show you who has pried into your profile or who likes you. For that purpose, you will have to go through the checkout counter and invite the developers to have a coffee or two.
