How can we help?

The app

What is bubbleOut?+

bubbleOut is a local social app. You discover Events around you, join Clubs built around your passions, and talk with members in the group Chat before meeting up in real life. No swiping, no feed: just outings and local communities.

Is bubbleOut a dating app?+

No. bubbleOut is not a dating app. You meet people through what you love doing: sports, music, food, cultural outings... The goal: living moments together, not finding a soulmate.

Is the app free?+

Yes, the app is free to download and use. A Premium subscription and paid options are available to unlock advanced features.

Which platforms is bubbleOut available on?+

bubbleOut is available on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).

Events

What is an Event on bubbleOut?+

An Event is an outing proposed by a user: brunch, sport, a night out, an exhibition, a hike... You choose the theme, the place, the date and the capacity. It can be public (visible in Explore) or private (invite only).

How do I join an Event?+

Find the Event through Explore or the interactive map, then send a request to join. The organizer accepts or declines. Once you're in, you join the Event's group Chat to talk before the outing.

How do I create an Event?+

In under a minute. You choose the theme, the place, the date, the capacity and the visibility (public or private). Requests to join arrive straight in the app. You accept or decline whoever you want.

Can I limit the number of people at my Event?+

Yes. You set a maximum capacity when you create it. If it fills up, you can raise it anytime from the Event settings.

Clubs

What is a Club on bubbleOut?+

A Club is a local community built around a passion: running, board games, techno, foodies, film... Members meet up regularly through the Club's Events. That's the difference with a one-off Event: a Club lives on over time.

How do I join a Club?+

Find it in Explore or through a shared link, then send a request to join. The Club admin approves or declines your request.

How do I create a Club?+

You add a name, a theme, a cover photo and a location. Then you choose whether the Club is public (visible in Explore) or private (invite link only). You're automatically the admin and you manage join requests.

What are Talks in a Club?+

Talks are internal micro-polls. Members propose outing ideas, everyone votes, and the plans that rise to the top become Events. The group decides what it does.

Explore and discovery

How does discovering Events and Clubs work?+

The Explore tab shows Events and Clubs within 100 km around you. Results take your filters into account: date, theme, members' age, gender, lifestyle, values, personality traits. No opaque algorithm: you see exactly why a Club or an Event is suggested to you.

Can I filter Events and Clubs by theme or date?+

Yes. Advanced filters let you sort by date and theme, but also by member profile (age, gender, lifestyle, values, personality traits). You refine until you find exactly what fits you.

Is there a map to see Events around me?+

Yes. The interactive map shows you the Events happening near you in real time. You can move around freely and see at a glance what's going on in your neighbourhood or in another area.

Chat

How does Chat work on bubbleOut?+

Every Event has its own group Chat, available as soon as you're in. You can share messages, photos, voice notes and GIFs with everyone, before, during and after the outing.

Can I message someone privately?+

Yes. Outside the group chats, you can send a private message to any bubbleOut member.

Safety and profile

How does bubbleOut verify profiles?+

bubbleOut requires mandatory profile verification for every account. No unverified profile can use the app's interactive features (joining an Event, a Club, sending a message...). This step makes sure you're interacting with real people.

Can other members see my exact location?+

No. bubbleOut uses your location to show you the Events and Clubs around you, but your exact location is never shared with other members.

Availability

Which cities is bubbleOut available in?+

bubbleOut is available in Montréal and Paris. More cities are coming soon.

I don't live in Montréal or Paris. Can I use bubbleOut?+

The app works everywhere, but the community is concentrated in Montréal and Paris for now. If you want to bring bubbleOut to your city, reach out: we're looking for local ambassadors.
