Break the ice this winter with Winks, the perfect way to start a conversation, say hello to your friends and favourites or just pay a compliment to somebody hot. Here’s what you need to know…

When somebody sends you a Wink you will receive a message telling you who has winked at you. Take a look at their profile and Wink back, reply to the Wink with your own message or… ignore it.

Remember: You can only Wink at somebody once every 24 hours. Winks are free and do not count against Guest limits.

To Wink at somebody… Click the Wink icon on their profile. A message will pop up on screen to confirm the Wink – you can turn the confirmation on or off in Settings. If the Wink icon is not active it means he’d rather not receive Winks.

To turn Winks off… Members can stop Winks, simply click or tap ‘Settings’ > ‘Messaging’ and un-tick the Winks option. Guests cannot turn winks off but…

If somebody keeps Winking at you and you would rather they didn’t… Kindly ask him to stop, or block him. Remember, if you block somebody you also block them from sending you messages and chatting to you.

Christmas is coming early… Look out for an exciting update for the iPhone and iPod Touch app featuring Winks, G-SPOT enhancements and sweet surprises. More news on this and more exciting developments coming soon!

★ iOS 5 compatibility
★ Fixes crash when searching
★ Fixes crash when editing your profile
★ NEW – use your voice and Siri to write messages and chat
★ Push Notifications and Red Badge fix
★ Friends & Favourites now load in full (not just those online)
★ Fixes mini crashes in Chat
★ Mail box to and from labels corrected

So, what about Siri and the Gaydar App? If you’re clutching an iPhone 4S activate Siri (Settings – General – Siri) and you can use your voice to write and reply to messages, or why not Chat with other guys with your voice instead of tapping in what you’d like to say! When you’ve arrange a date with somebody; why not tell Siri to remind you? Siri + Gaydar = the perfect match.

Coming soon:
Look out for exciting new features on their way, including Winks, G-SPOT enhancements and an extra special surprise.

The Gaydar App is available for iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS with iOS 5 and 4. iPod Touch 3rd Generation and iPad 1 and 2 in compatibility mode.

We are aware that Apple’s latest software update (iOS 5) has resulted in a few bugs appearing in the Gaydar App including the About Me and Looking For section of profiles not displaying correctly and the app ‘mini’ crashing when you attempt a Global Search.

Behind the scenes our App Development Team have been busy working closely with Apple to ensure the Gaydar App works beautifully on iOS 5 and 4. Sadly due to the complexities of the app it’s taking a little longer than expected to release an update. The good news is we are expecting an update of the app to resolve any iOS 5 issues in the next week and then, just before Christmas, even more features will be added to the app. Watch out for sneaky peeks coming soon…

Download the app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad or all three without the need to sync and join the worlds largest all male mobile community.

The voters for the pic have all won themselves a 1-week Gaydar membership upgrade:
