Have you downloaded Victor Valdes' new dating app? It's called Hola! and wants to challenge Tinder's empire

Forget about Tinder, the future of meetings online is called Hola! This is at least what the Barcelona former goalkeeper Victor Valdes hopes for his new app. In a video published on his Twitter account (that you can watch here) Valdes explained in the detail his app's vision and mission.

The app - currently in its beta phase - has been made by the Autonomous University of Barcellona, will be available both for iOS and Android and it is, as Valdes explained, "a way to break the ice."  

The app wants to create a visual code, based on a color and on the message "Hola". It works this way: when you meet someone you like, you open the app, and Hola assigns you a casual color. Now you can show it to the person you're interested in, and
that person can find you on the app and start a conversation. If it seems you a bit complex, you're not alone.

But if Valdes believes in it, why shouldn't we?
