The Gay UK Issue 3 Marriage | Page 84

THEGAYUK APRIL/MAY ISSUE 3 2014 TECH SESAME I love recipes, I love reading cookery books, I even, on occasion, make things from these books too. And sometimes it’s even edible. This app is incredible. The reason for this? It's simple - you do the work, you choose what recipes you collect, what recipes you file, and you can file in a multitude of ways. The app allows you to make that list and keep it - using it whenever you're out and about. It also allows you to edit the recipes, so if you find a shortcut or want to adapt something to personalise it, you can. It’s kind of like having your own ever changing library in your iPad, allowing you to edit, adapt, collect and enjoy your food! ∎ JACK’D, the fastest growing gay app in the world among young gay men, today released the findings of a community survey conducted amongst its users in the United Kingdom. With same sex marriage legalised on March 29th in England and Wales, Jack’d surveyed its community - 80 percent of which are 18-30 years old -on their impressions of marriage and love in modern times. Users in the UK were polled using an inapp survey, which revealed that younger gay men tend to be more optimistic about getting married at some point in their life, compared to older gay men. Of those polled, 62 percent of gay men aged 18 to 25 stated they would be open to getting married to another man, whilst only 45 percent of those 26 years and above saw marriage in their future. ∎ Review by Chris Jones MOPP Cutting edge UK cleaning company, Mopp, today announced the launch of their iPhone app, which helps you book and pay for a trusted cleaner online or using their smartphone in just 60 seconds!
