Description

BUMP ME ON RADICAL

Radical makes it easy to connect with the people around you!

Based on your network of friends, Radical will show you a list of people at the same place as you and how you're connected. You’ll be able to view their profile (photo, first name only, bio), any mutual friends that you share, or other things you might have in common. Send a bump to someone that interests you and if they bump you back, you can start messaging each other.

The app is free to use and only available on iOS

"I was at this bar in LA and opened up the app for the first time. What surprised me was the number of people that shared mutual friends or friends of friends with me. I'm a confident person, but this made the experience of approaching new people a lot more fun/comfortable."

"I really like the bump feature. I noticed this women at the same event and that she shared some mutual friends. She was with a big group of people and they were in conversation, so the timing felt off to approach her. I bumped her on Radical, a few minutes later she bumped me back, and we started chatting in the app just like that. We ended up connecting after the event for a drinks and talked for hours"

"I was traveling on break and was bored at the airport. After opening up the app, I saw that the girl next to me shared around 30 mutual friends. I asked her how she knew all these people and we found out that we lived in the same neighborhood growing up, literally 15 houses aways! She ended up being really cool and we're now good friends"

OUR MISSION

Today’s social networks are addicting, weaken our relationships, and hurt our overall mental well-being. We spend more time watching the lives of others versus spending time with the people around us. Our mission at Radical is provide a product that inspires people to go out into the world to connect with friends, and make new ones.

Social thus far has been a love-hate relationship. With Radical, it's all love.

BEAUTIFUL DESIGN
We've created a simple to use and well designed product that highlights what's important - the people around you.

DISCOVER
Radical will show you a list of people at the same place as you (or nearby). We’ll highlight members that are connected to you in some way (i.e. mutual friends, friends of friends, hometown), towards
the top of the list. Once you leave that place, the list of people there will disappear and change to other people that are nearby.

BUMPS
Bumps make it easy to get someone's attention. If you bump someone and they bump you back, the ability to message them will unlock.

**Keep in mind that we only notify other members of a bump if it comes from someone that’s within three degrees of friendship i.e. friends of friends, therefore we recommend adding more friends to expand your reach

FRIENDS
Radical organizes your list of friends by how far away they are from you at any given moment, without sharing their direct location with you. We'll notify you and your friend when you're nearby one another, creating a moment of serendipity to meet up. It's by far one of our most loved features!

COMMUNITIES - Invite only*
This feature represents a group of people that have something in common that's a bit more exclusive. Great for neighborhoods, organizations, social clubs, and more. This feature is currently invite only*

CHAT
Message with friends that are nearby or with new connections made in the Discover or Community section

PICS
Sometimes a photo or video is worth a thousand words. Send a visual message to friends to share what you're doing and where, with the hope that they come meet up.

WE LOVE BATTERIES
A lot of location based apps can drain your juice. We know battery time is sacred! Our app is state of the art and intelligently uses minimal battery power. We use less battery power than most popular social networks

What’s New

Version 3.0.4

Minor improvements and bug fixes. Working on some big updates that will be released very soon!

We're happy to announce the launch of the all-new Radical!

future of social media!!

This app is the future! I love everything this app stands for… promoting real interaction with your friends and peers as opposed to spending hours on social media, starring at a screen.

I live in LA and I was walking around Melrose the other day only to be alerted by Radical that my one of best friends was super close to me! We were able to meet up for a quick coffee then got back to shopping.

I also love that with the “bump” feature you can see who is interested in chatting with you and from there decide whether or not to pursue a conversation with them. It’s uch better executed than other social & dating apps.

Lastly, I love the sleek look of the app and how easy it is to use & understand! It took me maybe 5 minutes max to start using the app when I first downloaded it. It’s a very simple and smart concept! I’d recommend to anyone looking for more positivity and human interaction in their life… 10/10!!!

HATE THIS

I go to UCLA and they’ve been on campus hiring “influencers” to post on their IG and Snap stories and throwing events to try to get us to use their app (with the requirement being you have to “bump” a certain # of people to gain admission).

I was curious and decided to download it and I regret it in a big way. They send SO many notifications and also infiltrated my contact list. I now get text messages from them without ever giving them my phone #! (They actually programmed a phone number in my contact list without my consent). On top of that, they sent messages to everyone in my contact list without my permission. Disgusting!

Beyond the invasiveness, no one I know actually uses this seriously. They’re either getting paid by the company, or are “using it” to get free stuff. Don’t bother unless you want them taking over your phone.

Developer Response ,

Hi Lala,

We’re sorry to hear you’re not having the best experience. We’re a little confused by this review. The only notifications you’d get is if someone bumped you (which is a request to connect), if a friend sent you message, or if you received a friend request. With regards to texting your entire contact list, that would be impossible.

Our mission is all about inspiring people to go out into the world to connect with friends and make some new ones. It looks like we’ve failed you. If you’d like, you can send me an email at hi@radical.co and I’ll personally respond to it. I genuinely want to get your opinion in order to (1) do right by you and (2) create a better experience.

Sincerely,

Raad
CEO, Radical

ears r ringing ,

Great new app!!

Radical is a great new app that helps people interact with each other. Although it can be easily used as a dating app it also is so beneficial for making new friends!! If you were to move to LA it would be an easy way to see if you have any mutual friends or friends of friends in the area. It is super easy to use and fun to check out different people’s profiles. A MUST DOWNLOAD!!

Thank you 🙏
