Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Blendr was an online dating application based on geosocial networking for Android, iOS and Facebook. It is designed to connect like-minded people near to each other. It was created by Joel Simkhai and patterned after his previous app Grindr[1] which is instead aimed at gay men.[2] Blendr claims to be "powered by" Badoo[3] but largely appears to be the same service. As of 2022, it had 200 million users worldwide and requires users to be over the age of 18.[4]
