Need a hug right now? This app can help you get one
Need a hug? Now you can get one anytime, anywhere.
A new app called Cuddlr helps you find people near you who are up for a cuddle.
While snuggling with a stranger does sound pretty strange, it's probably useful for when you're sad, alone and in desperate need of a human touch.
But it's all strictly platonic and those who try to get frisky risk being rated badly.
Users get to scroll through a list of people and choose someone they would like to cuddle with.
Here's the tricky bit: The other person has got to want to cuddle with you too.
If you're already down in the dumps, getting rejected by a stranger for a hug is probably going to make you feel a whole lot worse.
(Cuddlr is only available in the Apple app store.)
