Our app within Facebook: http://apps.facebook.com/bangwithfriends/

DOWN uses social apps to help people strengthen relationships in the offline world through honest interactions. Based in San Francisco, our mobile and online development teams put together groundbreaking apps that are changing the way people discover relationships in a mobile world.

Users anonymously select their Facebook friends and friends of friends who strike their fancy and the secret is only revealed when that person also selects the user.

1. Sign in with Facebook: So you can see your friends (don't worry - it's anonymous and discreet)!

2. Pick the friends you want to get down or get a date: We will only show your friends that you're interested if they are too!

3. Message Each Other: Once we know you're both down, we'll send you both a notification- when and where is up to you!
