“For women who travel, or have relocated to a new city, a like-minded social circle is now quickly within reach.” - The New York Times

"I think about my first VINA date, and remember that we have plans to hang out the next day. I tell my friend yes, she should use it. Yes, to women everywhere. What do you have to lose?" - PAPER Magazine

Hey! VINA is the social discovery app just for women. You can tap into wherever you are in the world (or in your life!) to meet up with friends when you travel, move to a new city, transition life phases, or simply want to grow your social circle. Friend finding made safe, easy, and fun. Yay!

How Hey! VINA works:
— SIGN UP WITH FACEBOOK OR INSTAGRAM - we use this to confirm your gender and find people who you should know

— TAKE QUIZZES - we use fun and festive personality quizzes to help you find people who you will be compatible with

— JOIN A COMMUNITY - join a community to find friends who specifically like what you like and live like you live

— SWIPE RIGHT TO MEET - anonymously swipe right to indicate who you want to meet right now, and swipe left to skip people you're not ready to meet or aren't interested in

— GET INTRODUCED - once you have a match, you get introduced to a new potential friend. We make it easy to meet with a personalized intro from Olivia from VINA

— MEET UP - Use our handy Plans feature to post a private invite to meet up or make a public invite to invite everyone in your area to join... the most important part is meeting up IRL!

— KEEP IN TOUCH - you can add your matches and facebook friends to your VINA List to group chat, make plans, or all kinds of stuff

— BECOME A VIP - match faster and easier by upgrading to VINA VIP! You can now upgrade with a paid subscription to preview who swiped right on you... more premium features to come soon, too!

What’s New

Version 4.0.1

I’ve always been the one to say the first Hey
Have to swipe and skip a hundred million times
Had to get it better to know just what you like
Now I’m updatin’

You say update like I have never heard before
I’m indecisive but this time I know for sure
I hope that we’re not the only one that feels it all
Are you updatin’?

— SEE YA INSTAGRAM LOGIN - Facebook is no longer allowing apps to use Instagram as a means of logging in. We’ve implemented an account recovery process to allow you to get access to your profile that you’ve created with Instagram.

— As always, getting rid of (lady) bugs and (party) crashers!

If you ever have trouble with anything email us at hey@heyvina.com

This update song is brought to you by Dua Lipa, “Break My Heart”

Few suggestions

- One thing I did notice is that blocking someone doesnt work?
- Also, there is no block list so you cant even go to see who you’ve blocked/ unblock someone (if blocking them was an accident).
~ Example: it showed me my Facebook friends who are also on vina. I simply wanted to block one bc even tho I have her on Facebook I dont want her as my vina or for her to see me on there. I want NEW friends. So I blocked her (or so I thought) but when I go to the “add vinas” section on my profile SHE IS THERE under Facebook friends. I shouldn’t even be able to see her. I go to click on her profile to block her and my finger slips and I make her my VINA.. but no biggie I’ll just undo it, right? I go to her profile to block her and it gives me the option to..It will kick you off their profile like you’ve successfully blocked them but they are not really blocked. ~

- ALSO would be nice to see all the “Hey’s” you sent. To also have the option to take back our “hey” would be great too!

Inauthentic

The personality quizzes use a lot of #girlboss language and aren’t clear about what you’re choosing. One question was forcing me to choose between “yass queen” and “slay” for affirmations and another assumed all options for travel were these big expensive places. I was misgendered constantly even after it asked me who I was. There’s no option to be okay with friends from any gender, but specifically there’s no option at all to be non-binary looking for other non-binary people. I was connected instantly to a group of 5 but only one person spoke beyond a hello and I wasn’t sure the other people were real. The app has a real millennial, rich girl, sad minimalist aesthetic but no questions or connections that mean anything. I felt like I was at a company party for an abusive #ladypower start-up. This app doesn’t really seem like it breeds the kind of community I’d be comfortable with, but honestly any women meeting up from this don’t seem like they’ll have very genuine connections either. Also, TERF vibes. Why only advertise to women and non-binary people and continue to call the non-binary people ladies? Why emphasize the female empowerment aspect over a woman’s personality? I’m all for my and your rights but at a certain point it feels like something else is going on.

Have patience y’all!

First of all, the app is FREE. Don’t want to pay for the extra features? Don’t’! Nobody is making y’all! No wonder some of y’all don’t have friends you’re stubborn and ungrateful lol The developer of the app need to make their money too! I for one find the app very interesting. After downloading it last night I already matched with someone and we’ve been chatting. I feel like this app is brilliant and has soo much potential. You can plan dates, it even GIVES you IDEAS for dates, horoscopes and cute quizzes to take. Mind you, the. App. Is. Free. It’s also beautifully designed. Ive only dreamed of an app like this but never knew there was such a thing. One thing I will say is that it would be great if the app had more promotion like an add on Instagram, Facebook or even a commercial to get more people to use it. However so far I’m grateful and look forward to meeting new friends. Thank you developer for caring about us women that find it hard to make friends! You definitely took your time with this one 💕
