The Urban Signals App Brings Love to Your Neighborhood

By Dena Cassella January 22, 2010

Urban Signals just took online dating to a whole new level. The Urban Signals app is a social networking, location-based mobile application that allows you to see people around you, if they’re available, interested and ready to meet up. Since Urban Signals app is a service based in real-time, you can even meet up with someone right that very moment—or you could be standing next to the readily available person of your dreams at that very moment. It’s kind of creepy, but we like it.

“Urban Signals began as an observation I continued to witness on New York’s city streets…the problem of missed connections,“ said Aubree Nichols, founder and CEO of Urban Signals. “I didn’t know what the answer was, but I knew it would have to break down that ‘urban armor’ that discourage singles from approaching someone they found attractive or intriguing.“

Urban Signals is a free download available now for iPhone and iTouch. The company says all new users are given a 1-month trial of unlimited Signals to learn how to navigate the application. After 30 days, ‘Unlimited Signals’ packs can be purchased monthly for $4.99 per month.

Introducing a virtual private network (VPN) to your everyday web browsing is a smart move for a few reasons. For starters, it’s a great way to safeguard your user data when you’re surfing the internet. Because VPNs switch you to a different network and IP address, they’re terrific for accessing region-specific content. Have you been wanting to watch a series or two that’s only available for streaming in certain countries? A VPN will let you watch these movies and shows! And one of the best parts of the VPN experience is it’s not just limited to your PC.

In fact, you’ll even be able to use one on your iPhone. Back when iOS 15 rolled out, Apple also introduced a feature called Private Relay, which can be used alongside a VPN for an even bigger boost in web security.
