The app brings ancient astrology to the modern dating scene, allowing singles and couples alike to quantify their compatibility using a five-star rating system. By entering their birth dates, times, and places, two people can instantaneously test their compatibility for love and marriage across seven different Vedic and Chinese astrology measures.The app’s five-star rating system generates a weighted average of the seven measures using an algorithm developed by internationally renowned Vedic Astrologer, Prasannan (http://www.prasannanjyotish.com/about/).

Love Digits also compares personalitytraits and gain insights into your compatibility across the seven Vedic and Chinese astrological measures. Following are excerpts of an interview about the app:
Q: Tell us about the story of Love Digits from its inspiration to conception. Did you notice a need gap in the modern dating world? Or is there a personal story behind its launch?
A: For millions around the world, including me, checking horoscopes for compatibility is a useful tool. However it is not easy to get a high quality reading. There are a lot of astrologers out there that range in quality: some good, some bad. Also, good astrologers tend to have busy schedules and can be expensive. I was fortunate to get connected with one of the top astrologers out there – Astrologer Prasannan (http://www.prasannanjyotish.com/about/ ). I first met Prasannan in 2004, while he was on a Jyotish consultation tour in New York, where all the proceeds went to the charity of ‘Amma, the Hugging Saint’ Mata Amritandamayi from Kerala. I found his readings to be very precise and his advice practical for modern day life.
After nearly 20 years of touring with Amma, he got married and settled back in Vancouver, Canada, with his wife in 2011. It was around this time that I first approached him about the idea for the Love Digits app. There are many dating apps in the market that help people meet, however narrowing the search to people that were compatible was hard and very time consuming. I wanted to create an app using Prasannan’s expertise to help people do just that. So I developed the Love Digits apps to bring ancient astrology to the modern dating scene.
Q: The app brings ancient astrology to the modern dating scene, allowing singles and couples to quantify their compatibility using a five-star rating system. Do you feel this app could replace the traditional “Jyotish” or family astrologer?
A: This app helps singles and couples to check their compatibility using the science of ancient astrology instantly with a click on their smart phones. This reduces the need to consult a family astrologer every time you meet someone that looks promising. However, this app only checks for ‘Love compatibility’ between partners and does not offer a full ‘life reading’, which would be highly recommended before deciding to get married.
Q: Please explain in layman terms how a couple can use this app after downloading it from iTunes or Google Play and how the app determines their compatibility?
A: By entering their birth dates, times, and places, two people can instantaneously test their compatibility for love and marriage across seven different Vedic and Chinese astrology measures. The weighted, five-star rating system breaks down as follows: 66% Vedic astrology, 24% Vedic numerology, and 10% Chinese astrology. The couple’s birth dates, times and places hold varying degrees of importance for each of the three components. The App is free to download with unlimited ability to get compatibility scores. For $ 4.99, you can upgrade and gain unlimited access to the more detailed sections. This provides access to the compatibility score breakdown and match comparison sections. Match comparison sections gives side by side access to birth charts (kundli/Jathakam) and personality traits for some of the astrological measures like Nakshatra (Indian star sign) ascendant, birth number and Chinese sign. The upgrade also includes a recommendations section for those users who haven’t found “the one” and are in need of a little nudge in the right direction.
