iPhone app performs background checks on your date

Dating a new person has always been risky business. So many questions come to mind before that first date, especially if you’re meeting people at bars or through online dating sites. Intellius hopes to give singles a little piece of mind with an iPhone application called “Date Check” you can use to screen potential dates on-the-go. According to ABC News, this iPhone app has a ‘Sleaze Detector’ that scans your date’s criminal records for major things like sex offenses, assault, battery, or drug possession.  If you’re more interested in your date’s net worth, the app will tell you if the person owns a home, how many rooms it has, and even its property value.  Date Check also scans social networking sites for job status,  education background, birth date, marital status, and other crucial information needed before taking the first step. The app will be relased this fall on the iPhone but Intellius is working on an app for the Blackberry and Android platform too.  Personally, I think this is a fantastic idea, but the $40 per search is a bit of a turn off.  Girls, what do you think of this application?
