About this app

Flare is the LGBTQ+ app for dating and meeting people near you - built
safety-first, so you can be yourself without worrying about who's watching.

🌈 WHO'S ON FLARE
Gay, lesbian, bi, trans, queer and nonbinary people, plus couples looking to
meet others together. Whoever you are and whoever you're into, you decide how
you show up and who gets to find you.

❤️ MEET PEOPLE NEARBY
See who's around you on the grid, filter by what matters to you, or swipe when
you're in the mood. Tap to break the ice, match, and take it from there.

⚡ OPEN - WHO'S FREE RIGHT NOW
Flip yourself to "Open" and see who's up for something now, tonight, or soon -
coffee, drinks, a date, or just company.

🗺️ A LIVE MAP OF YOUR SCENE
Explore gay bars, queer venues, and community spots around you, see where things
are busy.

🎉 REAL MEETUPS
Join meetups and gatherings hosted by people in your community - or host your
own, approve who joins, and keep the location private until you're ready to
share it.

💬 CHAT THAT PROTECTS YOU
Photos, voice messages, reactions, and replies - plus private albums you
control. Share an album for a limited time, see when it's opened, revoke access
anytime. Screenshots of private content are blocked, and if someone tries,
you'll know.

🛡️ SAFETY ISN'T A PREMIUM FEATURE
• Age verification on every account
• AI-assisted photo and content moderation
• Block and report anywhere, reviewed by real people
• Watermarked private media that traces leaks
• Stealth options for when discretion matters

💜 DATING AND FRIENDSHIP, YOUR WAY
Here for gay dating, a lesbian or trans community that actually gets it, a queer
night out, couples meeting couples, or just friends who understand? Flare works
the way you want it to, and you can change your mind whenever you like.

Flare is made for the whole LGBTQ+ community - every identity, every letter,
everywhere on the spectrum. Zero tolerance for hate, harassment, or
discrimination.

Flare is for adults 18+ only.

Some features are enhanced with Flare Plus and Premium subscriptions. Flare is
free to download and use.
Safer LGBTQ+ dating — chat, live map, real meetups and verified profiles.

Data safety

Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
  • This app may share these data types with third parties
    Device or other IDs
  • This app may collect these data types
    Location, Personal info and 8 others
  • Data is encrypted in transit
  • You can request that data be deleted

What’s new

New accounts could get stuck on the welcome screen: adding a photo did nothing and the name field kept clearing itself. Both are fixed, and a photo is no longer needed to finish signing up - add one whenever you feel like it.

The Me tab and the settings screens have had a tidy-up too, so their icons match the rest of the app.
