Description
Collective is where the creative girls, gays, and theys are.
It's not a dating app - It's a Meet New People app, for new friends or new romance.
It's like a secret gay bar full of creative people hanging out, sharing art, gifs, memes, thirst traps, and more.
It's a healthier social media where people see your interests - not how many likes or followers you have.
It's a supportive community where members are kind to each other. Everyone is as cool and unique as you are. No headless torsos here.
So what're you waiting for? Come say hi

Other apps take notes
The obvious best part of this app is that it is being developed by and for queer people. Period. But what impresses me the most is the use of modern and fresh social networking tools built into the app’s interface. Features like photo folders, truly hidden like and follower count, a badge on unedited photos, etc. have made sharing content so much more enjoyable for me and honestly I wish other apps (instagram) would take notes. The app also makes it incredibly easy and enjoyable to find NEW people to follow and connect with. There is even a feature to connect with people in ur location without it being creepy and sexual lol. I feel like it is reminiscent of the early tumblr days when the gays were able to curate artistic vision boards while also connecting with like minded queer people whether they’re near or far. Loveee it.
The Future of Dating
This app fixes so many of the common problems of dating in the digital age. With most dating apps, once you swipe left or right, that decision is final. There’s no going back. That person is permanently written off from having a chance with you and vice versa. All in a split second decision. Upping your game on Instagram or Twitter can allow for people to see all of you, but it’s a popularity contest and a lot of times a follower count can be a barrier to connection with someone who you might be a match with. Collective fixes all of that. You have your profile. You can follow someone. And indicate your interest in them and change it at any time. And no one’s follower count is displayed. I really do believe that this is not only the future of dating for the queer community but the future of online dating in general.
Great App, no more waitlist
Collective is a very pleasing app to use. My biggest complaints with gay apps like Grindr, Archer, etc is the sheer amount of crude n*dity, poor UI, and ads everywhere.
Collective does all this incredibly well. The UI is well thought out and user friendly. While there is partial n*dity it’s done in tasteful ways and is accompanied by other aesthetic posts. As for ads, I don’t think I’ve seen a single ad so far.
Additionally, the biggest complaint others have is the waitlist/need for Twitter. When I joined I just gave my Instagram and waited ~12 hours for someone to verify my Instagram account. Which is far from a waitlist, and especially doesn’t match the 6 month comments.
