If your relationship has reached its natural end but you can't bear the thought of seeing someone's face crumple as you tell them it's over, then we've found the app for you.

Rather than swiping right or left to choose your next hookup, Binder allows you to choose your next dumpee. Simply input your chosen victim's name and phone number and Binder will do the rest for you.

"The Internet has made it super easy to find the special someone," say the app's creators. "Binder makes it just as easy to get rid of them too. With one swipe we take out all the pain of chucking your other half."

The "rest", according to a few brave souls who have tested the app out, involves a text with the message "Sorry, you're binned" plus a VERY blunt phone call from a Scottish man who will sing a song about how it's all over. 

While the app is available for download on both iOS and Android in the UK, it has not hit Ireland yet so us poor souls will still have to carry out our break ups in a more traditional fashion for the next while.

Much as we would love to imagine that Binder will be a new revolutionary move in the world of online dating, the fact that it's sponsored by Scottish lager company Tennent's suggests it could all just be a bit of fun.
