## What is Dad Tribes?

Most dads don’t struggle with fatherhood.
 They struggle with doing it alone.
Dad Tribes was created to bring fathers back into community.
This app helps dads connect with other fathers who live nearby, have kids around the same age, and share similar hobbies and interests. Instead of endless scrolling and social media noise, Dad Tribes is built to help men build real friendships and get together in real life.
No politics.
 No negativity.
 No addictive algorithms.
Just a community of dads supporting each other and raising strong families.

Find Dads Near You
Our map helps you discover other dads in your area who share similar hobbies, interests, and stages of life. Whether you're into fishing, golf, fitness, gaming, or entrepreneurship, you can find other dads nearby who enjoy the same things.
Your privacy is protected. Locations are randomized so your exact location is never shown.

Join Local Group Chats
Connect with other dads in your city through topic-based group chats. Talk with other fathers about parenting, hobbies, careers, and life.
Some popular conversations include:

Discover Events for You and Your Kids

### 3/5 — Needs a ton of work

*2026-07-01*

I don’t want this to be Facebook or any other social media junk. But it needs a ton of work. I just updated the app, and I’ve got the spinning wheel of death. I saw there were comments after a post I made, and I can’t read the whole messages because if I click, it goes no where. I think this app could be amazing, a place for just dads to just do what most dads don’t… talk and give/get advice. But because I’m still super new to it, I don’t want to give up on it. I’m going to shut my phone down and restart. But I’m going to give this a few more weeks because I want to see how this can/or I can be an encouragement. I hope this is a “more to come” update process, but right now, it’s also not very simple to navigate. I’m hopeful that this can build, and be something amazing. I hope also it’s just my end and a reset will do it. Also hoping for a better back and forth chat setup as well. Here’s to the future on this app 👍👍

### 5/5 — Love Dad Tribes!

*2026-06-24*

The Dad Tribes community is so awesome. I’ve met so many great dads by attending local meet ups and events

### 1/5 — Poor support.  Low security.  No one to contact.

*2026-05-29*

There isn’t much to this app but it has my info. 
Upon seeing some visitors, I tried to understand support or any admins.  There are none available.  No way to get help or alert security.  

Don’t waste your time here if you value your info.  And your kids info.

### 5/5 — New Great Connections Made

*2026-05-15*

This App has been personally life-changing for me. I didn't realize how much I needed a band of brothers around me. I highly recommend downloading this App. It's absolutely free and there was no underlying catch. I find that honorable.

### 3/5 — Math equation

*2026-03-31*

Trying to sign up but every time I try to register it keeps telling me to please enter the right answer to the question on the math equation? For example it Shows 3 - 4 ? I type in 1 

Am I missing something?

### 5/5 — Connecting points

*2026-03-26*

Seems to be getting better with each update. Great to connect with other dads everywhere.

### 2/5 — Good concept, functionality needs work

*2026-03-24*

I am here for this but the app will not let me set my location. I have quit the app, restarted my phone, it will not let me save a location though.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-03-20*

This app is great! Just being able to connect with other dads close is cool, but all the different stuff to do is really cool!

### 1/5 — Scam, wanted 9500

*2026-03-19*

Asked me for $9500 to start a local chapter of dad tribes.  I’ll never support this group.

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2026-03-16*

Great for dads to attend events network and make friends!
