HOW DOES IT WORK? 

The mobile dating service looks at its users step count by gathering data from the iPhone's in-built Apple Health app.

The real-time step counts of the app's users are displayed on their dating profiles.

Lime then suggests potential matches based on how people's walking habits match up.

If users are interested in a match, they can then send them one of three 'Go' requests, including 'go out for a coffee', 'meet up now' or 'grab a bite'.

'Lime gathers users' daily Steps information and analyzes the data to match users with potential dates who live a similarly active or sedentary lifestyle.'

The San Francisco-based developers said the app could help single hearts weed out dates that are dishonest about how much they exercise.
