COLLAGE : THE RELATIONSHIP BUILDING APP WHERE YOU ARE MORE THAN JUST AN IMAGE Collage is the relationship building app designed with the neurodivergent community in mind. Collage's mission is to assist the neurodiverse community in finding friends, romantic partners and/or hookups.  Collage's unique matching scheme encourages connections based on interests rather than an image. When you make a match, you and your match will receive a collage of each other's interest BEFORE you receive their picture. If you both select to move forward with the connection, you both will then see each other's photos and video. The app also has several "community" rooms where you can chat with other users and make connections outside of this matching scheme. SAFETY AND SECURITY Collage was created around safety and protection for you. During registration, there is a background check for every user. You will also submit a video of yourself describing why you would like to join Collage and each user will be manually approved to join. Other security measures were added into the app including reporting and blocking features and keyword flagging. SUPPORT AND "TIPS" Collage is dedicated to the success of the relationships that you are building on and off the app. Support is included within the app. Support areas include but are not limited to: How to pick a profile picture, How to start a conversation with another user, How to identify if a user is interested, How to be yourself when building a connection and more. Workshops will also be offered to provide more support to users who are interested. SUBSCRIPTION INFO The app is free to download and you will receive a 1 month trial when signing up. After this trial, the app will be $3.99 per month. TERMS OF USE: https://app.collageconnections.com/terms-and-conditions
