Safety first

A safe space to make friends, between women

Verified women only

Every new member is selfie-verified and approved by a moderator before she can access the app.

A picnic in Prospect Park

Bring a blanket and snacks — sunny Brooklyn afternoons are made for new friends.

A museum day at the Met

Explore a new exhibit together, then keep the conversation going over lunch.

A book club in Williamsburg

Pick a book, a café and a day on the calendar, and let the group grow from there.

FAQ

Your questions about GirlsConnect in New York

Is GirlsConnect available in New York?

Yes. GirlsConnect is available across the US, including all five boroughs of New York City. The app uses your location to show you women, groups and outings near you. Our US community is still growing, so what’s on near you changes from week to week — and you can always start your own outing.

Is GirlsConnect really for women only?

Yes. GirlsConnect is reserved for women aged 18 and over. Every new member takes a selfie when she signs up, and our moderation team reviews it before she can access the app. That’s what keeps the community genuinely women-only.

Is GirlsConnect free? What does Plus add?

Yes, GirlsConnect is free: signing up, getting verified, discovering women near you, joining groups and outings, and chatting. A free account includes 10 likes a day, 1 superlike a week, and lets you host one outing at a time for up to 5 people. The optional Plus subscription (bought through the App Store or Google Play) adds unlimited likes, 10 superlikes a week, shows you who liked your profile, and lets you host larger outings, several at a time.

Can I host my own outing in New York?

Yes. Create an outing in a few taps — what, where, when — and women nearby can join. Each outing has a dedicated chat so attendees can organize together. A free account can host one outing at a time for up to 5 people; Plus removes those limits.

Is my information safe?

Your data is never sold. Your precise location is never shown to other members, and the exact address of an outing is only visible to registered attendees. You can report any profile, message or outing in one tap, and delete your account at any time. Details in our Privacy Policy.
