Finally, there's an app to help you decode your match's messages

We've all done it: asked our friends to help decipher messages from people we are interested in dating. But do you ever wonder if your friends are just telling you what you want to hear? Well, now there's an app that will tell you how it really is.

WittyThumbs was created by the new dating-focused startup Hermes. It's designed specifically to help you figure out what your online matches are actually saying and how you can improve the quality of your responses.

It's fairly simple to use. All you have to do is upload a screenshot of your conversation and share it with their community of users and experts. They will mark it up with analysis and pointers for better communication. All of this will hopefully improve your game and lead to more face-to-face interactions.

For those in need of more in-depth attention, there’s a premium option that lets you instantly chat with a dating expert one-on-one. (This starts at $30 for 30 minutes of advice.) Don't worry, it's all completely anonymous. Those seeking advice create usernames and blur out any identifying info in the chat, such as photos, locations, or real names.

So is this really something we need? It can sometimes be tricky to decipher someone's tone when you've never talked to them IRL. And you might think you're coming off as super chill when others are reading your messages as rude or disinterested. Getting a second (or third or fourth or fifth) pair of eyes on your interaction can be incredibly helpful.

But it goes both ways. There's no guarantee that WittyThumbs users will have a better read on your match than you do -- that person could just be incredibly bad at communicating. And getting coached by experts on how to phrase your messages can only get you so far. What happens when you're actually out on a date and they're not with you?

Also how many messages are you getting that are really that complex to unravel? If not even two minutes into your conversation, your Tinder match is asking for nudes or sending you unsolicited dick pics, it doesn't take an expert to figure out what is on their mind.

If you're not getting any love beyond the screen and you want a little help, this might be the app for you. Otherwise, maybe don't waste too much time trying to unravel the hidden codes of messages from people who can't be bothered to be clear. There are plenty of fish in the sea.
