An app that allowed users to find nearby women who had "checked in" on a social network has been withdrawn by its developer after complaints.

Russian developer i-Free removed its Girls Around Me app which used publicly available data from Foursquare.

 

 

Foursquare, a location-based social network, has already revoked the app's access to its data.

A company representative for i-Free said the reaction to the app was a "serious misunderstanding".
