## What is Giggle?

ABOUT THIS APP

Giggle brings a new dimension to your Social media and networking experience. Join the growing community of women for conversation, connection and fun! 

Made for Women by Women. Connect on Giggle about the latest Issues, politics, gossip, news and more. Promote your business and or yourself, find accomodation and roommates, connect privately to discuss your most intimate thoughts - all with mutual consent.

Join the conversation

Giggle Talk is a public feed for women to use their voice to be heard on social media on a global scale. Create a profile with a unique username, post opinions, start conversations directly onto a feed seen by all Giggle Talk users to have maximum exposure. (“No voice is too small to be heard”), or just surf the feed and popular hashtags to stay up to date (no profile necessary). You can verify your unique username should you wish to clearly establish your credentials.

Every post requires a “hashtag title” to turn the feed into forums. Post facts, opinions, photos, GIFs and noteworthy links to enhance the conversation. Tag @users into your post or reply to initiate further conversation. To have a quiet experience, opt to not allowing @ tagging on your profile.

Making Giggle work for you

Giggle has nine “private” platforms - 3 for business and 6 soul categories. Here you create a profile, which can be used as a private web page. You can create as many profiles, in as many categories as you need. A swipe and match system is used to easily find who and what interests you. Swipe left for no interest, swipe right to connect. Mutual consent is established by both parties swiping right. You can share your profile outside of Giggle or promote it on a Giggle Talk Hashtag to increase your exposure. 

Micro Groups

An experience unique to Giggle, women are able to search and wipe through profiles to create private micro-groups of up to six, where everyone joins based on mutual consent, a common purpose and can enjoy the journey of connection. 
 
Private Message

Giggle has a private message service for the exclusive use of users in the business and soul categories. Once a match or connection has been established (called a giggle) a private message channel is opened to chat with everyone involved in the giggle.

Build an engaging profile

*Create your Giggle Talk profile with a photo, description, location and any information about yourself you wish to share.
For business, don’t be afraid to promote yourself and what you do. Use your company logo or an image of yourself, tell your customers what you and your business does. Use the geo locator to promote where your customers are for maximum rewards. 
For our “Soul” categories, tailor each profile to what you’re specifically looking for and make Giggle provide solutions for you. You can connect locally, in a specific location or globally - it’s your choice. 

Premium Upgrades

Premium upgrades apply to the Business and Soul categories only.

Use “Peek” to see who is interested in your product, service, room or personal request. This will tell you who has swiped right and create instant matches, further streamlining the choice process!
Use “Slide” to allow users to immediately message you. Perfect for business (Gigs, Roommates & Travel). Use Giggle as your own personal directory, where women from all around the world can contact you!
Use “Invisible” to remain completely private and reveal yourself only to those that are of interest to you. Your profile will only be seen by profiles you swipe right on first.

### 5/5 — 5 for Sall’s strength to face the mob

*2023-03-09*

In short, the app is a great concept.  In practice, it’s buggy to the point of not working.  I don’t know what goes on behind the scenes when making an app, but if Giggle just needs more money in order to hire someone quality developers, I wish a campaign could be launched to do that.  Women need this service- services cost money.  No one works for free, and a lot of work needs to go into this.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-02-01, version 1.13*

They insist the app is only for women. Then call everyone “girls” and block people who they arbitrarily decide aren’t female. With ZERO ability to contest it. Disgusting. This is not OK. This is horrific.

Editing to add that the app ceo brags on Twitter about how she can “effortlessly tell the biological sex” of anyone, and that if someone “violates their terms and conditions” (by not appearing feminine enough, I assume) she personally deletes and blocks the person from the app. 

That’s what happened to me. 
I passed the selfie AI test, and about 45 minutes into using the app I suddenly was unable to use it at all. Every attempt to log in was answered with a failure message. 

I am not trans. I am a cis woman. But I guess I’m too ugly for this app. 

Extremely insulting, at the very least. And when I began to discuss this with the ceo on Twitter she called me a troll and blocked me. 

She claims she can “always tell”
This is blatant discrimination. 

This app should not be allowed on Apple at all.

### 1/5 — Can’t even use the app!

*2023-01-09, version 1.13*

I downloaded the app, and when it came to verify my phone number, I resent out the request several times nothing. So a few days later I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and try it again absolutely nothing please do not waste your time with this app. It’s a piece of crap! apparently what people are saying about the app is true because the developers have obviously made it so you can’t even verify your phone number to get on the app.

### 1/5 — This is a cult

*2023-01-05, version 1.13*

Don’t let the good reviews fool you. This is a fake feminist app. In truth, this app is just a space where TERFs can gather and hate on people. They are racist, sexist, transphobic and bigoted. They want to imprison socialists and establish a satanic fascist government. And on top of it all, they are paedophiles. I am dead serious. These TERFs will stop at nothing to devour the flesh of stillborn children. They are crazy wicked evil, and they are aroused by the suffering of humanity. They don’t care about women’s rights, or even human rights. All they care about is the destruction of mankind. Listen to the song “Blasphemian” by Infant Annihilator and then look up the lyrics. Those lyrics are a perfect representation of who the TERFs really are. But while they may be evil, they cannot stand against us when we have the power of love and Jesus on our side. Do not let the TERFs poison you mind, leading you astray from live real and progressive ideas.

### 1/5 — Cis woman here… you guys are weird

*2023-01-05, version 1.13*

Cis means I was born a girl and I’m still a woman (so what you all of you view as “true female”) and I still HATE this app. The user base will dismiss any opposition as “male”. This is why people don’t take us seriously. You’re all crying wolf while upholding the patriarchy and outdated ideas of “what it means to be a woman”. Being a woman to me goes far beyond having a vagina but congrats to you for dumbing down our experience and continuing to oppress. Garbage people, garbage app. I support women's rights not women's WRONGS. And you all are WRONG.

### 2/5 — Wish this were a better app

*2022-07-29, version 1.13*

I really want to like this app but it is just way too buggy for me to recommend. Error messages pop up way too often and swiping tends to have some lag that forces me to quit and restart the app. Plus, it keeps showing me people who are way too far away from me to have meaningful interaction with. I’m assuming this is the result of a small user base. The app just feels way too bloated with too many categories especially since it doesn’t seem like it has a ton of active users in the first place. I feel like it could use some trimming down. As it stands though, I find it really unusable which is a shame.

### 2/5 — Fantastic AI

*2022-07-26, version 1.13*

I’m a trans woman, and was immediately approved for access after downloading. Thanks for building such an inclusive app!

Discussions on the app are about 5-10 power users commenting on everything/posting everything. The app crashed 4 times in the span of my first 15 minutes browsing it, and there’s obvious issues with the facial AI. Good luck picking up a gender critical mass of users to launch a new social network!

### 3/5 — Terrible UI

*2022-07-07, version 1.13*

I like the idea. Every other app that caters exclusively to women eventually gets turned into something different. 

But the UI is terrible. Tinder is successful because the UI is simple: See something you like, swipe right. See something you don’t like: Swipe left. Do you want to see your profile? Click the pencil. 

It took several minutes to locate the option to edit my own profile, and I found it by accident. I like to see what my profile looks like to others, but that option doesn’t seem to exist. 

These are relatively small fixe that can make a user’s experience better.

### 1/5 — Kinda funny kinda weird

*2022-06-16, version 1.13*

They use AI to track whether or not you’re female and can make an account, I wanted to test the strength of this. I’m a trans man and it wouldn’t let me join even though I was assigned female at birth and my cis mother who was born a girl and still female couldn’t join either (and we actually look nothing alike, like she has long straight blonde hair softer face etc where as I have very short hair and facial hair etc) just very peculiar how gender affirming it’s been for trans people despite the intent being to discriminate against trans women and how weirdly dehumanizing and judgmental it is towards cis women. That is all.

### 5/5 — Most negative reviews are from men lol

*2022-05-08, version 1.13*

If you take the time to read through the reviews you’ll find it’s mostly men whining because they can’t get in. Ha! The app is a little confusing but it’s so wonderful to have a space like this just for women!
