We value your privacy—your data is never sold, and there's no paywall anywhere in our app. Have fun, and stay safe.

Profile Creation: Having friends with the same personality is no fun. Our differences are what make life exciting. We strive to make each interaction exciting by allowing people to share their story during the hangout! With this in mind we connect people based on what they are into.
We have the most advanced profile creation system available. By asking users to pick categories first then activities then answer the necessary details about those activities. This gives you the ability to pull the right person for you, out of thin air!

Search: Our search bar is unique to us. In plain english say exactly who you want. ex. a student who studies finance that wants to grab dinner tonight. No other app can transform that statement into something that is valuable to you. We can. By using ai this query will attach to a number of diffrent traits that other users have put in their profile, giving you a list of people who match what you searched.

Profile: Allows you to see and edit the things that you picked during the profile creation process. Events will also display here, you can opt in or out of these events giving us an idea of how best to prepare for them.

Messaging: we have all of the features of a standard messenger but have added a feature that allows our users to find the best spots in town to eat, drink, and have fun! You are able to see the other users general availability and pick a time that works for both of you.

Post hangout survey: This will display when you first open the app after attending an event. This will give us an idea of if you went to the restaurant or event that you said you would. These questions allow us to estimate how much we are helping our partnering restaurants and event centers.
In addition to this it will give us a good idea of the users on our app. Any users that receive low marks from others will show up in less searches and if they are reported they will be banned. We want to maintain the best possible environment in our app for the safety of our users and their information.
