iPhone
See where the city is alive right now. Check live venue vibes, connect with other groups out, and make plans with real people — all in one app.
Wave shows you where the city is alive — and helps your circle connect with other circles out doing the same thing.
Whether you're planning a brunch, a bar crawl, a festival day, or a spontaneous meetup, Wave gives you real-time visibility into where the energy is happening right now.
WHAT WAVE DOES
PULSE — See the city live
Live crowd data from 250+ venues across Atlanta, updated in real time. Know which spots are busy, which are warming up, and which neighborhoods are buzzing. No more guessing where to go.
DISCOVER — Group-to-group connection
Your friend group finds other groups out doing the same thing. Connection comes first. Whether you're at a bar, a brunch, a day party, or a festival, find groups on your wavelength and build real rapport.
WAVES AND CHATS — Start the connection
Wave at a group you want to connect with. If they wave back, you're matched and can chat. Where it goes from there is up to you — some chats stay conversations, some become hangouts, some turn into real friendships. No swiping, no pressure.
SCENE — Moments from the city
Share photos from what's happening around you. Your Moments show up in the Scene tab, where people across the city can see what's going on in real time.
BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
- Verified profiles: every user confirms their identity with phone verification and a selfie check, so you're always meeting real people.
- 21+ only: Wave is built for adults, not teens.
- Group-first: Wave is about your circle connecting with other circles, not one-on-one dating.
- Privacy-focused: Wave never shares your exact location with anyone. You decide if and when to disclose where you are during a chat.
PERFECT FOR
- Bar crawls and pub events
- Brunch meetups
- Music festivals and day parties
- Sports games and watch parties (World Cup 2026 ready)
- Visitors exploring a new city
- Locals looking for something new

Scene, full screen
Photos from people out around you now open in a full-screen viewer.
Swipe through the moment, see who posted it and where they are, and
wave without ever leaving the photo.
New here? Start with a walkthrough
First time on Wave, you'll get a quick tour of how it works — where
groups live, how to get out there, and what to tap first.
Know when someone joins
When a new member joins your group, you'll hear about it the moment
it happens instead of noticing later.
Fixes and improvements
• Smoother onboarding — we fixed a gap that could strand you partway
through, and we're clearer up front about what happens to your
selfie and why we ask for it.
• Waving from Scene now confirms only when the wave actually sends.
• Polish across the app.
