Good questions

The short answers.

When does Waimz™ launch?

Waimz™ is live now on the App Store and Google Play. Download it and see who's around you today.

Where is Waimz™ available?

Everywhere the App Store and Google Play reach. Waimz™ shows the people, communities and places near you, and fills out as more people join.

What is free on Waimz™?

Discovery is free and unlimited, including Map, List, Discover and Radar. Free members can start 30 new connections per month. Replies and incoming chats are always unlimited.

What does Premium include?

Premium includes unlimited new connections, including connections with people inside Communities, plus featured placement in Discover, Instagram on your profile, Incognito, Travel mode and a verification badge. It costs $19/month after a 7-day Apple introductory trial and auto-renews until cancelled.

How is Waimz™ different?

Most apps are a grid built for one thing. Waimz™ gives dating, community, and places-to-go equal weight: your whole queer life, not a swipe deck.

Who's it for?

LGBTQ+ adults, 18+, across the whole spectrum: gay, lesbian, bi, trans, non-binary, queer, questioning.

Is it safe?

Safety is a shared responsibility. We build the tools: selfie verification, block & report in every chat, incognito, hide distance and discreet mode. And we moderate with a mix of tech and real people. But no app can vet everyone or control what happens offline, and we don't run background checks. Meet in public, tell a friend, trust your gut, and read our Safety Tips.

Your people are out there.
Let's go find them.

Dating, community, and the best of queer nightlife, all in one app. Live now on iOS and Android. 18+.

Waimz™ is for adults 18+. Read our Privacy Policy.
