Questions about Waimz™
What is Waimz™?
Waimz™ is a real-world social app for LGBTQ+ adults (18+). It helps you find queer-friendly places, LGBTQ+ communities and dates near you, at home or while traveling. Waimz™ is a brand of Humainz, Inc. and is coming soon to iOS and Android.
Is Waimz™ a dating app?
Partly. Dating is one of three equal parts of Waimz™, next to communities and places to go. Many people use Waimz™ only for friends, community and nights out. Your profile shows what you're here for, so friendship and dating stay clear.
Can I use Waimz™ just to make LGBTQ+ friends?
Yes. On Waimz™, join communities built around interests and identities, from run clubs and book clubs to parents' groups and support circles, and meet people at real-life meetups. You never have to use dating.
How do I find LGBTQ+ community when I move to a new city?
Open Waimz™ in your new city. Radar shows the people, communities and LGBTQ+-friendly places around you, and the Waimz™ city guide lists bars, cafés and community spaces in 12 cities to start with.
How can I find gay bars and queer-friendly places when I travel?
Waimz™ Places shows LGBTQ+-friendly bars, clubs, cafés and events near you, wherever you are. Before a trip, browse the Waimz™ city guide. With Premium, Travel mode lets you set your location before you arrive.
Is Waimz™ free?
Yes. On Waimz™, Discovery is free and unlimited, including Map, List, Discover and Radar, and so are Communities, Places and safety tools. Free members can start a limited number of new chats each month. Replies and incoming chats are always unlimited.
What does Waimz™ Premium include?
Waimz™ Premium costs 19 USD per month after a 7-day free trial and auto-renews until cancelled. It includes unlimited new connections, including inside Communities, featured placement in Discover, Instagram on your profile, Travel mode to change your home location and the W Premium badge.
Is Waimz™ safe?
On Waimz™, safety is a shared responsibility. We build the tools: selfie verification, block & report in every chat, 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.
How is Waimz™ different from other LGBTQ+ apps?
Most LGBTQ+ apps are a grid built for one thing. Waimz™ gives places, communities and dating equal weight. There are no swipes, likes or mutual-match gates: you see who and what is around you and start the conversation yourself.
Who is Waimz™ for?
Waimz™ is for LGBTQ+ adults, 18+, across the whole spectrum: gay, lesbian, bi, trans, non-binary, queer and questioning. Waimz™ is built for locals, newcomers and travelers alike.
Can I use Waimz™ discreetly?
Yes. On Waimz™, you can hide your distance and use discreet mode. Block and report are in every chat.
Does Waimz™ share my orientation or use it for ads?
Orientation, gender identity and pronouns are optional on Waimz™. They are never sold and never used for advertising. Read the Privacy Policy for details.
When and where does Waimz™ launch?
Waimz™ is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play and works wherever those stores reach. It fills out city by city as people join. Follow @waimz.social to hear first when your city goes live.
How can my bar, café or venue be on Waimz™?
LGBTQ+-friendly venues get a free listing in Waimz™ Places. Send a message to @waimz.social on Instagram to be added.
