Need to check whether your online date is safe? There’s an app for that. It’s called DateCheck Mobile and it’s available as a free download for the iPhone/iPod Touch and Android-powered smartphones, allowing users to perform instant background checks on potential dates while on the go.
The application is actually a mobile version of the background check and people search service. With only a name, email, or phone number – the application will search for publicly available information, social networks included. There’s also the so called “Sleaze Detector” feature which scans criminal records, as well as “$$$” feature that gives users information about property ownership. That latter sounds super useful for all the gold diggers out there…
Want it? iTunes AppStore link is here, and if you own an Android handset, you’ll need to search for “DateCheck” for yourself in the Android Market. And before I let you go check out a short demo video after the jump.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
