Squirt, a long-running platform for gay, bi, and bi-curious men to meet, has announced it is “officially going mobile in the United States” with the launch of the company’s first mobile app for the U.S. market.
“Launching nationwide today after a soft-launch in the UK and Canada, the new Squirt mobile app brings the platform’s famously direct, community-driven experience into a streamlined, app-store–compliant format—while staying rooted in what made Squirt iconic in the first place: real-time connection, global reach, and unapologetic cruising culture,” the company said in a statement released this week.
In the statement, Squirt said that “unlike newer apps built around swiping, gamification, or influencer aesthetics,” the Squirt platform was “was built by and for queer men long before ‘dating tech’ was a category.”
The new mobile app “connects seamlessly with Squirt.org,” the company said, meaning “users aren’t dropped into an empty grid or forced to rebuild their community from scratch.”
“Squirt has always been about making connections simple, immediate, and stigma-free,” said Andrew Nolan, Head of Dating Businesses at Pink Triangle Press. “The app brings that same philosophy to mobile—without losing the culture or the people who made Squirt what it is.”
Listing the app’s distinguishing characteristics, Squirt said the app features:
- One shared account across app and web — log in once, connect everywhere
- Cross-platform messaging with Squirt.org members
- A fully populated Guys Grid from day one—no ghost towns, no waiting
- Push notifications so you never miss an opportunity
- Search and chat anywhere in the world, not just nearby
- 10 free days of Fan Club access for all new members
Squirt said that while the version of the app at launch is “intentionally more PG-rated to meet app-store requirements,” the company emphasized the current version of the app is “is only the beginning” and that future updates, which will include features like 1:1 video chat, “are already in development.”
“This isn’t just another guys-on-a-map app,” Nolan said. “It’s a mobile extension of one of the largest, longest-running queer meetup communities in the world.”
The Squirt app is available in the U.S. on Google Play Store as “SQ Dating – Gay Chat & Meet.”
