Full description

Live, don't just like. Up for a coffee or Saturday's concert, but nobody to come along right now? That's most of us. Hardly anyone organises anything, so everyone waits for someone else to make the first move. On BuddyMe that move is already made. People near you have plans, and you say "I'm in". Not a dating app, no swiping, and chatting is free. Over 100,000 members in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. How it works The feed shows which activities people nearby are up to. If something appeals to you, tap "I'm in" and you're in the group chat. That's where you settle time and place and then meet, anywhere from two to eight people. In a group that small you actually talk, unlike at an event with fifty strangers. No newsfeed, no followers: BuddyMe is built so you close the app and go out. And if nothing fits, open a Loop yourself and show what you're up for. "Up for coffee this week" is enough. Whoever feels like it joins. You decide who's in A Loop is open to everyone or to women only. If you'd rather see who's coming first, set it to "On request". Who is BuddyMe for? Anyone new in town, anyone looking for activity partners because their own friends have little time right now, anyone who wants to meet like-minded people for a hobby. Women looking for a new best friend, and couples who want to meet other couples. Studying, with kids or retired, in Berlin, Vienna, Hamburg, Graz, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Zurich or a smaller city. Expats and newcomers welcome, and there's room for queer friendships too. The most common Loops are coffee, walks and hiking, board game nights, concerts, sports, gaming and going out. Your safety Photo verification and moderated profiles. Others only see your city and a rough distance, never your exact location. Contact details are blocked in chat; you share them when you meet. Block and report anytime. Free and Premium Browsing, joining, opening Loops and chatting are free, so you can make friends without paying for it. Premium moves your Loops up the feed and shows you who viewed your profile. BuddyMe is available for Android, iPhone and in the browser at app.buddyme.me. BuddyMe. Meet new people, make real friends, do more together.

What's new

If a message doesn't send, BuddyMe now shows you which part held it up. Talking about Instagram and other apps no longer gets blocked. My Loops shows how long your Loop stays in the feed, and you can post any expired Loop again. Plus clearer messages throughout and better stability.
