There are more examples of apps just like this that came before (this is the only one that comes to mind at the moment), the only way I would be remotely interested is if they figured a way to solve the inherent problem of selecting all/some of your friends as crushes to see who had you as a crush, and then what happens when someone legitimately adds the person who was just checking everyone's crushes.

I've heard that this is a problem with real-life speed-dating as well.
I guess speed dating is always a conflict between making the most sincere matches, and making sure everyone has fun.

If that one person says "yes" to everyone, no doubt their intentions were to game the system, but if they avoid attendees going away thinking "no one liked me", then they've actually benefited the event's success.
