iPhone app investigates dates

Bellevue, Wash. -- A Washington state company has unveiled an iPhone application allowing users to run background checks and net worth calculations for prospective mates.

Intelius, an information commerce company in Bellevue, said its new iPhone application, Date Check, allows users to find information about their dates by plugging in their names or cell phone numbers, ABC News reported Thursday.

The program's Sleaze Detector checks criminal records for charges, including drug possession, assault and battery, drunken driving and sex crimes. Its Net Worth option searches information about property value and home ownership, as well as checking social networking sites for information on employment and education.

"Date Check is like having a private investigator in your purse," said John Arnold, Intelius co-founder and executive vice president of business development. "Letting a stranger into your life is a huge risk, and in the age of Internet anonymity, a simple online search isn't enough to tell you everything you need to know. "
