Swipe Buster lets people check if their other half is active on sites like Tinder – but is it healthy, or right, to spy like this?

Cheaters beware – a new website is promising to blow the lid on casual affairs and sexy hook-ups.

Swipe Buster allows people to check to see if their other half (or boss, ex, neighbour or best mate) is active on dating apps such as Tinder.

So far, it’s only running in the US, but experts predict the technology will be hitting our shores soon. For a $5 fee – about £3.50 – users can search under the name, age, and location of anyone to see if their profile pops up.

Tinder has taken the online dating scene by storm since it launched in 2012. It’s been credited with more than 10 billion matches, but it’s also been accused of providing a dream platform for married cheaters.

Swipe Buster uses complex computer code to search dating profiles, and the anonymous creator claims his aim was to educate about the risks of sharing personal data.

But is it healthy to spy on your partner? And if you could find out if they were cheating for just a few pounds, would you? Or should you?
