Meet GalPal, The Newest Friendship App

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCLA chapter.

GalPal is a new friendship app that helps connects people. It’s like tinder, but instead of dealing with annoying guys, it helps you meet new people and make friends with similar interests. We use technology for everything else, might as well use it to meet new people and create platonic relationships.

Here’s some more info on the app:

“Centered on building real, meaningful, supportive relationships, GALPAL is not for hookups or cringe-worthy first dates. GALPAL is the first app of its kind, created to help foster friendships and acceptance independent of sexual orientation. The app opens the door to a relationship devoted to friendship not sex, loyalty not heartbreak, GALPAL is about trust and mutual support, ultimately aiming to develop stronger alliances between the gay and straight community.”

We met with the app’s creators and learned about their inspiration for creating the app and how it all works.
