The app lets you select your exes, and can then constantly scan your area for social media checkins – and warn you if you need to make a hasty exit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is most people’s worst nightmare – bumping into an ex in a bar or restaurant.<\/p>\n

However, a new app aims to solve the problem using the plethora of social networks that allow users to check into locations.<\/p>\n

The split app can warn if an ex is nearby – and give you the best route to get away.<\/p>\n

The app was created by Udi Dagan.<\/strong><\/div>\n

‘The idea for Split was born on a frustrating night, about a year ago, when I\u00a0 ran into my ex-girlfriend in a bar,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘After a few awkward minutes, I\u00a0 hurriedly gathered my friends out of there and into another pub down the street, where I literally bumped (that\u2019s right, SMACK!) into another ex\u2026 Not a good night.’<\/p>\n

He said the evening gave him the idea for app to avoid it happening again.<\/p>\n

‘We all have people in our lives we\u2019d rather not meet by chance, in various settings and for different reasons.<\/p>\n

‘Whether it\u2019s social, work-related, or family, it\u2019s rarely about disliking the person, and more about sparing ourselves (and them) those awkward, embarrassing situations that arise from the different types of relationships between people,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘During the process of designing the Split app and defining its implementations, it was really interesting to see how people reacted to the idea of an app that\u2019s primarily targeted at avoiding other people: At first, most would twist up their face, and say something to the effect of \u2018not very nice\u2019 and \u2018antisocial behaviour\u2019.<\/p>\n

‘But then, when I gave examples of different situations where it could come in handy (my favorite is still \u2018imagine running into your parents on a first date\u2019), all of a sudden a lightbulb went on and some sort of revelation was noted \u2013 \u2019Oh, I see… That\u2019s actually pretty useful!’<\/p>\n
