## What is Plura?

Bloom Community is now Plura!

Featured on Cosmopolitan’s “10 Best Poly Dating Apps”, and Men’s Health's “The 9 Best Polyamorous Dating Apps”. Plura flips the script on the painful hamster-wheel of online dating and gets you to the date before the swiping.  

**Dive into Exciting Adventures:**

Plura is the go-to app for queer, growth-oriented, and alternative people to find their people. Dive into a world full of exciting opportunities as you meet a diverse group of friendly and open-minded people. Whether you're looking for fun dates, new friends, or cool events, Plura is your go-to place for new adventures.

**Choose from 1,000 monthly events** :

On Plura, you will find the events hosted by the top communities in your city: parties, workshops, munches, picnics, happy hours, jams and so much more. 

**Make sure you have an epic night:** 

See who’s coming to the event, and match, and make plans to catch up at the venue. Walk into the event recognizing a few friendly faces and jump straight into connection.

**No more lost connections:** 

Have you met someone you vibed with? Find them on Plura, match with them, and deepen the connection. Our data shows that matching after an event happens 10X more than with traditional swiping. 

**Find people who align with your values**

At Plura, we're a welcoming community that encourages you to be yourself and connect with others. We hope that all the people you meet on the platform are continually working to become better at consent, more skilled in communication, and prioritize inclusion over fear. 

**Consent**

At its best, consent is an ongoing collaboration between two or more people in constant verbal, physical, and emotional dialogue about what each other needs to willingly, safely, and pleasurably engage in an interaction with one another. Consent must be affirmative, competent, informed, unprepared, specific, and ongoing.

**Communication**

We express our interests, needs, and boundaries, which creates a shared space to connect and play. We choose discomfort over resentment and speak out when things don’t feel good. We equally invite people to communicate their experience whether it’s positive or negative.

**Inclusion**

To invite everyone to express themselves, organize, and connect, welcomed, and celebrated. Plura will not tolerate any sort of sexism, racism, transphobia, fatphobia, or ableism. Creating an inclusive and welcoming space requires work on all of our parts, especially those who have benefited from unequal power dynamics and move through the world with more privilege.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal App!

*2026-05-28*

I am so very grateful for the fabulous folx that created and continue to care for Plura. Having a safe space to find poly events, people and performances make my heart so VERY HAPPY! 

Thank you for an incredible app that makes every day brighter!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. We’re grateful to have you in the Plura community and so happy the app has helped you find people, events, and experiences that bring you joy.

### 4/5 — Where are the African, Blacks and Caribbeans?

*2026-04-08, version 2.27.0*

Need to add culture filter for those looking for neo-soul kinky Friday freaks. Other than that I like the events!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-02-05, version 2.21.0*

For all the reviews that I seen here, I said, let’s give a try and see. I was excited to get to meet other people in this app. but this moment I have not met anyone locally in my town. Every day. They say is a new pic for me. In my area but there’s no one there I put a different ZIP Code to see What load up but nothing I wanna be using this app anymore once my membership ends up in two weeks

### 2/5 — Waste of time for dating

*2026-01-20, version 2.20.0*

The app is great for showing you events, but is terrible as a matchmaker. Do not reccomend for dating purposes

### 1/5 — Low-grade dating site.

*2026-01-17*

Do not use this site. They charge too much money a month for what they actually give you which is nothing compared to other Internet dating sites. 

They're behind the times as well in my opinion compared to other dating sites.

90% of the women that I communicated with were scam artists/bots. I contacted customer support and they did nothing about it. Their policing is terrible.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry the experience did not meet your expectations. Plura is a community app, and we take reports of scams and fake accounts seriously. While we cannot share actions taken on other members’ accounts, reports are reviewed by our team and appropriate action is taken when needed.

### 1/5 — Not recommended

*2026-01-08, version 2.20.0*

Like most “sex positive” sites and dating apps. Full of lookist racist gals who won’t give you the time of day unless you look like a movie star.  Also, a LOT of fake profiles and AI pics. Nope

### 1/5 — Lack of notes.

*2025-12-27*

I do not like the fact that Plura will only provide a Limited amount of notes per week that I can send to a potential match. This needs to change. I am paying for this and there should be an unlimited amount of notes for all paying members. it’s not only cheap but it’s very disappointing.

I’m paying less money per month on Match and I can send an unlimited amount of messages to other members. It should be the same for Plura.

I would love to speak with someone from Plura and guide them on how they can make this site a lot better because it has limitations it also has a lot of scam artists on it. Very annoying!

### 1/5 — Basically pay walled?

*2025-11-17, version 2.16.0*

There are 3 people who’ve “budded” me however they never show up in my daily 5. Been well over a month without my ability to choose to bud them back. 

Feels like this is just a tactic to force you to buy the premium membership…

### 1/5 — Worse than useless

*2025-09-18, version 2.14.0*

If you’re a free user, the app only shows your four people a day. I’m a lesbian and have it set to show me only women, yet half of my “picks” for the day have been men the past three days.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-09-05, version 2.13.0*

They will remove your account if you speak up your mind about anything that they don’t like. I won’t even bother wasting my time again. Just wanted to inform all the newbies
