## What is Dive Chat?

Built for the real world, Dive Chat is the all-in-one digital home for real world communities across the country. Fitness clubs, sororities and fraternities, youth groups, student organizations, housemates, families use Dive Chat to streamline communication and ensure that every member knows of the group's next upcoming event. Make Moments Happen!

→ Groups: The Home for Your Community
• Groups on Dive Chat have a shared calendar that any member can add to.
• Members get automatic reminders about upcoming events inside the group.
• Create unlimited topic-based subchats inside the group to keep conversation organized.
• Find every photo, video, poll, link, and form that has been sent inside the gallery.

→ Subchats
• Within your Dive Group, subchats are dedicated to topics where you talk with friends, plan the next hangout, and send polls, photos, videos, and GIFs.
• Subchats can be open, private, or for announcements-only where only admins can send messages. Everyone in the group can create a new subchat, but only admins can automatically add everyone.

→ Dive Events
• Create an event with all the details and collect RSVPs from the people you invite.
• Friends without the Dive Chat app can RSVP on the web and stay updated via text message.
• Share events with a link or directly to your Instagram Story, Snapchat Story, and Dive Groups.
• Create graphic event covers with templates and effects.

→ Reactions
• Really like a message? Wanna clown your friend? React to messages with any emoji you want. Them spam the reaction to show how you REALLY feel. Can you reach the spam react limit?
• Create a one-of-a-kind emoji reaction from any image in your photo library! It’s like magic.
• Claim the top spot in the group reaction leaderboard by having the most reactions in the group!

→ Profiles
• Capture an expressive two second animated profile image!
• Express yourself by writing a bio!
• Set a nickname for each chat you’re in! Go crazy, go stupid.
• In college? Rep your school and grad year for all to see.
• Add your birthday so your friends get reminded and can see your star sign.
• Choose to show your phone number and email to people you share a group with, so friends can call, FaceTime or email you easily.
• Link all your socials so friends can find you everyone on the internet (Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, Spotify, Apple Music, Snapchat, Venmo, and CashApp)!

→ Share with Friends
Invite friends to your groups and events by sharing the link, scanning the QR code, or adding them from your contacts.

→ Classic Group Chats & DMs
• Not every group on Dive Chat needs multiple subchats — create the classic group chat you know and love with the built in fun of events, Spam React, nicknames and more!
• DM people who are in your groups, who you attended an event with, or who are in your contacts.

→ Our Privacy Commitment

### 5/5 — A MUST USE APP!!!!!!

*2024-02-25, version 2.5.55*

I love the social features and emphasizing in-person connection. The app is fun and also useful 🤙🏼

### 5/5 — Way better than groupme

*2024-01-30, version 2.5.51*

My fraternity started using Dive Chat instead of GroupMe and it is vastly better. The app runs so much smoother. It feels natural to use. Most of the chapter was skeptical at first because change is hard, but we all are very impressed!

### 4/5 — A godsend for my friend group!

*2023-12-15*

We were using basic iMessage for the longest and it was so annoying to create separate GCs for every topic (e.g. a single concert or stargazing group for repeat events). plus POLLS! we can finally have easy agreement/headcounts on dates that work for events!

I do wish there were some extra features:

* Hide events you have declined - seems like an easy filter. I don't want to see all the events I can't/don't want to go to on my Dive calendar. I also don't want those events to go onto my synced Apple calendar.

* Pin events to a specific channel - e.g. pending stargazing events could be pinned to the stargazing channel so they're easily found by members (similar to attachments being accessible from the chat's info).

* Chat on event pages - there's already a feed on events for responses and people can write comments there; I wish we could also converse on the event itself apart from those responses. It would help with figuring out logistics for an event with just attendees, rather than having all of that conversation in the larger chat.

* Share event administration - I've made events on behalf of others and wish I could "pass it over" (at least I haven't found a way to do it...) or share it with another person.

All around, love this app! It's been a big answer to my groupchat prayers 🤙

### 5/5 — Makes event planning so easy and fun!!!

### 5/5 — SO much better than groupme!!!

*2023-10-16, version 2.5.43*

if you use groupme for anything, do yourself a favor and download this instead! better interface, so much easier to use and way better for events and messaging. highly recommend!!

### 5/5 — The app you NEED for planning get togethers 🎉

*2023-10-16, version 2.5.43*

I absolutely love the Dive Chat app! It has become my go-to platform for planning events and get-togethers. The user-friendly interface keeps me coming back, and it has significantly surpassed my experience with GroupMe, Slack, and Partiful. If you're looking for a top-notch app to coordinate events, Dive Chat is the way to go!

### 5/5 — Great for rec sports leagues

*2023-10-11, version 2.5.43*

My soccer team introduced me to this app and it works perfectly for what we need. Plan events, create chats and get to know a community in real life. Love it

### 5/5 — FUN app

*2023-09-11, version 2.5.41*

Love using Dive Chat! It’s super easy to message between groups and plan events. It’ll even auto-generate event suggestions based on messages. Love the real-time react feature as well.

### 1/5 — so buggy

*2023-09-10, version 2.5.41*

i love this app but recently it has become unusable!! tapping on a chat rarely works and i constantly have to exit the app to try again

### 5/5 — OBSESSED!!!

*2023-08-09, version 2.5.39*

For every event I’m having from here on out I’m using Dive Chat! It’s so easy to send out to everyone and I love seeing all of the interactions. Me and my friends have a group chat on the app now too and it’s so fun and helps us stay organized!
