The only reason I didn't try this is because when you use these apps it shows up as "so-and-so is using relationbook" and I don't want everybody to see that. I know there's a way to hide it, but I never trust that it hides it completely.

Used it for less than 3 minutes, got more than 10 "Share with your friends!" pop-ups that if you hit "no" on forgets the action you were trying to perform before it showed the pop-up. Very annoying.

I see that friends are showed twice when they are in a relationship with another friend of you.<p>So if I have two friends: A and B, they're listed twice like:<p>A is in a relationship with B B is in a relationship with A<p>Bit redundant imo.

FYI: Facebook's legal team really frowns upon any domain name that uses xxxxbook.xxx - you should expect to hear from them soon.

This is restoring a feature that existed in circa 2005 Thefacebook. You could easily browse your friends in various relationship states. Many more people would actually set their status as "Single" back then too. Nowadays, in my friend circles, most single people just don't broadcast their relationship status.

Does anyone else find this quite a creepy concept?

Nice weekend project. Fortunately for mankind (unfortunately for your app,) it seems most people (as scientifically sampled by my friend list) do not consider Facebook the canonical representation of their relationship status.<p>An ex-girlfriend who recently was married still has her status as single (not making that up.)<p>Personally I never have, and never will, assign a facebook status to my relationships unless I am married.<p>Interestingly, the once popular "open relationship" status now has zero takers in my friend list.

Is <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/15/thedatable-launch/" rel="nofollow">http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/15/thedatable-launch/</a> the inspiration behind this ?

Nice idea and great execution, congrats. I tried it for a while and I already discovered some friends who got married (and I was not aware of it) and some other friends who are not divorced.<p>I would love your web app even more if it would provide me with a list of updated events. I don't check FB very often and it would be lovely to just use your service once in a while and see, in a glance, who got married, who got divorced, etc.

Thank you for the preview of the app given before connecting with Facebook! I wish more applications which require connection to another service did this.

I also have the same issue with it crashing. Safari on the iPhone (5.1.1)<p>- Starts to load Friends<p>- Screen goes to black as the app is terminated<p>Also, it does not load at all on Chrome for iPhone (the main site loads, but nothing happens after you click on the "Lets Go" button; besides opening a new tab).

Unfortunately, this web app reliably crashes Mobile Safari on my iPad 3. Perhaps the logic is done clientside over the set of all my ~1000 friends?

Nice job, and in particular it looks great. Is the design a template or did you make it from scratch? If so where did your inspiration come from?

you mis-spelled RelationBook as RelatiobBook in the authorization dialog

This is cool. Now add age and sexual orientation filtering!

It keeps crashing Mobile Safari (5.1.1) for me.
