Add Bloom to your phone

No app store needed — it runs on your phone today, and the store versions use the same account.

Free

Venues, perks, events and meetups cost nothing. Always.

ID-verified

Government photo ID before anyone can open the dating side.

AU & NZ

Built here, for here — not a US app with a local flag on it.

What's in the app

Most of it is free. The part that isn't, we charge for on purpose — and we'll tell you exactly why.

Discover

Queer-friendly venues near you — cafés, bars, bookshops, salons, clinics. Safe-space tags, opening hours, and what members say.

Member perks

Venues put real offers on their listing. Claim one in the app, show it at the counter, they tap it used. No printouts, no codes to remember.

Events

Pride festivals, drag nights, markets and community gatherings — with dates, venues and a link straight to the organiser.

Meetups

Coffee mornings, walks, lunch tables. Small, low-pressure, and open to everyone — no verification, no payment, no swiping.

The Village & Seniors

A space for LGBTQ+ parents and people on the parenting path, and one for members over 55 with meetups made for it.

Mixer

Dating, with everyone ID-verified before they can use it. Filters that respect what you're actually looking for, and nobody swiping through who shouldn't be here.

Bloom Rewards

Show up.
Earn points.

Points come from being part of it — putting a venue on the map, walking into one, bringing someone with you. We fund them, not the venues.

Everyone on the dating side is ID-verified.

Not a badge you can buy. Before anyone can open Mixer, they complete government photo ID verification — and pay a one-off $9.99 to do it.

We charge for it deliberately. It pays for the checking, and it means the people you meet took a real step to be there. When we asked what people wanted fixed about queer dating apps, the two answers were safety and being ghosted. This is our answer to both.

Government photo ID, checked before you can message anyone
18+ only, enforced at signup
No nudity or sexual content — reported photos are reviewed and removed
Report and block on every profile
