## What is believr?

believr is where LGBTQ+ Christians come to find connection, belonging, and love.

Values-based matching
Form a lasting relationship by uncovering your personal values using our research inspired evaluation. We will then match you with people who share those values.

Community Spaces
Connect with other users while talking about what matters to you. We are cultivating a space for LGBTQ+ Christians to create belonging through meaningful conversations.

Customizable Profiles
Express yourself through your tailored profile. Want your bio to be the first? Great! Want to show off that smile? Cool! We want you to own your first impression.

Privacy Settings
Control what information you share. Nearly every part of your profile has a privacy setting so that you can share only what you want. Regardless of your journey, our primary concern is for you to feel safe and secure.

Thoughtful Preferences
Within believr, preferences are limited to age and gender identity.

Trust and Safety First
Feeling unsafe within the app? That's not okay. Safety is our number one priority, and we've made blocking and reporting simple.

Community dashboard
Our community is incredible! The dashboard is a curated space where resources will be featured to connect you to the larger community.

Direct Messaging
No winks, no likes, just straight to talking. We want you making meaningful connections as quickly as possible.

------
Also available from believr:
Spectrum - believr’s paid monthly subscription

- Every Sunday, believr will introduce you to new people to connect with via our values-based matcher. spectrum users will receive 40 new people per week to connect with while our other users will receive 7.

- We verify every user,  ensuring they are not a robot. However, spectrum users receive an additional verification, confirming they are who they say they are. This is signified by the pink checkmark on profiles.

- Hitting it off with someone in the community space?  Continue the conversation one-on-one. spectrum users will have the ability to both review someone's profile from the Community Space and direct message them.

- Your continued support fuels development and the future of believr. Thank you, spectrum users, for believing in our mission and vision. We couldn't do this without you.

- Receive insider promotions and discounts from your favorite authors, artists, and organizations. Our spectrum users get early access to new features and curated content.

- Express yourself! If a picture is worth a thousand words then a GIF (pronounced with a hard "G"; no peanut butter here) is worth at least ten thousand. With spectrum, you'll get access to GIFs within your direct messages and the Community Spaces.

We have a “pay what you can model” starting at $19.99 per month, $9.99 per month or $4.99 per month or $99.99 for 6 months (first 2 months free) or $199.99 for a year (first 2 months free).

### 1/5 — I can’t sign up, won’t take my email address.

*2026-01-05, version 2.8.1*

Every time I try to verify my email it says access denied. There is some technical issue that still needs to be worked out.

### 2/5 — Unable to join.

*2025-06-25, version 2.8.1*

I am trying to make an account but the app isn’t letting me, it has a lot of bugs that need to be fixed in order for people to even make an account.

### 1/5 — No Users

*2025-04-13, version 2.8.1*

Great idea for an app. Unfortunately there aren’t any people to match with. I even put my preferences set to any gender, the full age range, and open to friends and dating.  The app told me it had no one to match my preferences and therefore couldn’t swipe on any profiles. Great concept but needs users for it to work

### 3/5 — Slightly disappointed

*2025-02-19*

The concept of the app is amazing. Really like the idea of being able to have both face identity and gender/sexuality affirmed in the same place. Unfortunately, this app seems to not be having a lot of traffic at this time. I have tried making an account twice already at separate times in both times there seems to not be anyone on the app. Nobody is using the chat rooms, and half the people that you click on to try to message are not listed as having an account anymore. I hope they get more traffic soon.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2025-01-10, version 2.8.1*

After going though a tedious list of disclaimers (definitely caters to a woke mindset), taking a silly values quiz (that glitched out twice), there were no matches to be made.

### 1/5 — Still inaccessible

*2024-12-01, version 2.8.1*

I need larger text and the app is not intuitive to allow me to scroll down and sign up again. However, from there being only one other review from two years ago, I doubt there is a dark mode. Such a shame as there is not enough resources for followers of Christ who are gay etc

### 1/5 — Great Concept, Horrible Execution

*2024-09-14, version 2.8.1*

App looks great but barely works. As an app developer I can’t believe this app passed QA and user testing. Lots of concerning privacy issues. Lack of functionality.

### 2/5 — So much potential

*2024-04-17, version 2.8*

Such a great idea for an app. I got to the last part of setting up my profile and it won’t let me pick my values. Legit got to the last part, there’s so many parts, and it won’t let me finish because there’s no button to continue :/

### 5/5 — Determined Community!

*2024-02-26*

This app represents the determination of a whole community of amazing people wanting to make space for each other and still others who don’t have space given them elsewhere right now. By downloading and subscribing you support this effort and give the leaders resources to figure out the problems that threaten to break this community down. That’s my review and recommendation to you. A massive thanks to the developers as you continue to make this app all we need it to be.

### 4/5 — Great App but needs some work

*2024-02-25*

This is the most meaningful app i’ve ever downloaded. I met some very close friends on here, thank you so much! It takes a while to meet people you really connect with, so don’t give up right away. However, the app has some glitches. 1. sometimes it doesn’t notify you about messages or let you respond 2. sometimes it won’t let you use the keyboard 3. sometimes it won’t let you send pictures 4. every time i’ve used the app for the past few months it’s prompted me to “re-enable” settings i’ve already set up 5. occasionally it makes me restart my whole profile and deletes everything i already added, or won’t let me edit things, which is really annoying. 
some suggestions: I love meeting fellow queer christians all over the continent, but I would love to meet some within 300 miles of me every now and then
glitches and suggestions aside, if you are a queer christian, this app might just change your life for the better.
