ThirdPlaces is the app for everyone who wants to meet real people in their city. For those who want to expand their circle of friends, better organize existing groups, or simply find connection. Not chatting online — but actually going out and meeting in person. No swiping. No matching. No dating app. Hiking, cooking nights, game nights, coffee walks, bowling nights, museum visits. Together with people who share the same interests as you. WHAT IS THIRDPLACES? The term “third place” comes from sociology. It refers to the space beyond home and work — the third location. Cafés, parks, sports clubs. Places where real connections are formed. ThirdPlaces brings exactly that to your smartphone. FEATURES MEETS Create a Meet or join one. Spontaneous or planned. Coffee walk tomorrow morning, cooking night next Friday, hiking on the weekend. BUBBLES Your community based on interests. Photography, hiking, book clubs, yoga.

Explore, tidied up The map is no longer its own screen – it now lives right inside Explore. New: overview pages per section and a dedicated page for official spaces. The same cards everywhere Spaces and bubbles in My World now show what they show in Explore: type, level and how many members are near you. For events you can see how many are going, how many are interested and how many groups are heading there together. Light theme reworked Cards stand out more clearly from the background, counters are colour-coded, and the logo adapts to the mode. ### 1.62.0 — 2026-07-22 What's new in Thirdplaces DISCOVER & EVENTS • New Events tab: events nearby or across the country — filter by date, category and distance, sort by "Soonest", "Newest" or "Popular". • "Interested" and "Going" right on every event, with counts — plus "X groups going". • Multi-date events now show the next date and every date in the details. • Share events by QR code or link and go together.
