No longer hooked on Hinge? Sick of gadding about on Grindr? Well, if you’re on the hunt for a new dating app with a new twist, say hello to [3nder](http://www.3nder.us/), the service that promises to provide “threesomes made easy.” Before you get too excited about all the _ménage à trois_ that awaits you: this app is still in its [funding stage](https://angel.co/3nder).
