Put the "social" back in social media.
Most apps keep you scrolling. PingPal gets you out the door.
Post a ping — a real-time invite to do something, somewhere, soon. Nearby people see it, request to join, and you meet up in real life. No followers. No feed. No performative posting. Just real people, real plans, real experiences in your city.
And it's not just individuals. Local businesses, venues, run clubs, bars, markets, and event coordinators use PingPal Pro to post real-time pings for their community too — 5Ks, speed dating nights, live music, pop-up markets, fitness classes, and more. PingPal is where your city actually happens.
How It Works
Set Your Intentions
Choose what you're looking for — friendship, dating, fitness, networking, or casual hangouts — so you're connected with people on the same wavelength.
Post a Ping
Going for a walk? Want to grab coffee? Hitting the gym? Post a ping with what you're doing, where, and when. Nearby users who are interested request to join — you approve who comes.
Browse People Nearby
Explore the People tab to discover locals with shared interests and intentions — and decide who you'd like to connect with before making a move.
Discover What's Happening
Browse the map and feed to see pings happening around you right now — from individuals and businesses alike. A bar hosting trivia, a run club hitting the trail, a pop-up market opening in an hour. If it's happening in your city, it's on PingPal.
Chat & Coordinate
Once someone joins your ping, you're connected in-app to sort out the details. No number exchanges, no awkward DMs.
Meet Up & Earn Kudos
After the meetup, leave kudos for a great experience. Kudos build your reputation in the community — the more you have, the more people trust you.

Connect with people you click with, form groups, and plan the next one.
