Bente is easy to use, with a cool kind of neon city lights-type feel. I can do everything from my phone when I’m out, and it works just as well when I’m traveling. It’s also helped me make a few solid networking connections through its community features. The games are enjoyable too, with a little extra touch you don’t get on other meetup apps. Simple, dependable, and great for meeting people on the go. Saying “goodbye” to thoughtless swipes and “hello” to meaningful connections.
Developer Response
Hi TayRay27, this review made our entire week! 'Finally' is exactly what we strive to hear. We are thrilled you dig the neon aesthetic and the games, we worked hard to make Bente feel different from the usual boring apps. But mostly, we are so happy to hear you’ve already made solid networking connections. That is the goal: real people, real places, and no thoughtless swiping. Thanks for taking Bente with you when you travel! 🌃 – Bente Team
LOVE the safety features! 🩷

Considering every other IRL meet up app I’ve seen doesn’t have the safety of its users in mind, Bente feels very refreshing. Having ID verified profiles adds a very necessary layer of security and authenticity for the users, which is a MAJOR plus. Personally I do not like an app openly sharing my profile and location to every and anybody, (risking being stalked) so I will definitely use Bente to meet. I also love how versatile this app is, it really has something for everyone.
Great Concept!
DiggyHop
This app has a great amount of potential, lots of potential to help with businesses and collaborations and even as a dating app. Everyone has to verify their account with an id and face scans which helps tremendously with security and safety of everyone associated with the app.
Developer Response
Hi DiggyHop, thank you for the fantastic review! We are so glad you see the potential in Bente for both collaborations and dating. You hit on our biggest priority: safety. We built the ID verification and face scans specifically to ensure that when you connect with someone here, you can do it with total confidence. Thanks for being an early part of the community! 🚀 – Bente Team
Really Cool Idea

I love the concept of this app, I could definitely see this change the social scene for the better, if enough people join. Looking forward to making new local friends & maybe some collabs on here. 🙏🏼
Developer Response
Hi sehopkins96, thank you! We love that you share our vision for a better social scene. You are spot on, community is everything.

Improved chat, profile photos, settings, and map visibility. More accurate online and venue activity status, plus level-up celebrations.
