Are you worried about dating a relative? Get this new app to make sure you don’t

If you’ve ever wanted a way to make sure you don’t unwittingly date one of your family members then a new app has been released just for you.

The piece of software was developed in Iceland to make sure you and your potential partner are not from the same family tree.

The Islendingabók app allows you to test how closely you’re related to your date by simply bumping your phones together.

The Android programme includes information on 720,000 people and will hopefully help the users avoid the possibility of inbreeding.

But it unfortunately came too late for one person who left a message on the app’s website, declaring: ‘If I’d had this in earlier, maybe I would not go home with my aunt.’

So as the tagline for the app says, make sure you ‘ bump the app before you bump in bed,’ otherwise you could find yourself in an awkward situation with a long lost relative.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

"Show me your phone and I'll show you mine."

I’d heard that Icelandic women are frigid.

Dating your relatives? Is that a big problem outside of San Francisco and members of the Religion of Pieces?

When you live on an isolated island whose population is a bit less than the Akron, Ohio metro area, yes.
