Introducing Oorsee The free app built for South African expats! We know that moving to a new country can be tough, especially without a familiar support system. That's where Oorsee comes in—helping you connect with like-minded individuals and easing your transition abroad. If you've been away for a while, we understand how isolating it can feel. Oorsee offers a space to share your experiences and find comfort by joining our diverse range of groups where fellow South African families are ready to support and relate to your journey. For those eager to help new expats, our platform lets you share valuable tips and guidance, making it easier for others to settle into their new homes. Love organizing social events? Oorsee’s event creation tool lets you plan and promote activities like family hikes, picnics, or a good old-fashioned Braai, making it easy to build connections.

At Oorsee, we believe in the power of connection and community. Join us today to start your expat journey with the support you deserve!
WUD

WUD turns "what's everyone doing tonight?" into a one-tap answer — for you, your friends, and their friends too. Post what you're up to in the next few hours — coffee, gym, surf, dinner, gaming, anything at all. Your friends see it instantly. Their friends see it too, if you want them to. Anyone in the circle can tap join. No algorithm chasing strangers, no endless scroll, no plans that die in the group chat. Just real people, real plans, today. HOW IT WORKS Open WUD and you'll see what your friends — and their friends — are running for the day. Tap any plan to RSVP, react, or jump into the per-plan chat with everyone going. Tap the + button to post your own: pick a category, say what you're doing, choose now or later. Done in ten seconds. Not sure yet? Float the idea instead. "Anyone keen for dinner Friday?" Send it to a few friends, see who's in, lock it in as a real plan once enough say yes. MEET YOUR FRIENDS' FRIENDS The best people you don't know yet are one degree away. Post a plan publicly and a friend-of-a-friend can see it the moment any of your direct friends joins — that's how new circles form. Want it tighter? Flip the plan to friends-only or to a specific squad. You decide who sees what, every time. FEATURES • Today's feed of plans from friends + friends-of-friends • One-tap join, with confetti when you commit • Per-plan chat — messages, photos, polls, emoji reactions • Floats — soft proposals before you commit • Squads — named groups so the right plan lands with the right crew • Live Now — flip yourself live for an hour and let friends find you • Pings — one-tap "anyone bored?" broadcasts • Smart suggestions for your mornings, your big nights, and what's starting soon • Add any plan to your calendar with one tap • Push notifications you can quiet per category PRIVACY You control the audience on every single plan. Public means your friends and their friends can see and join. Private means only your direct friends. Squad means only the squads you tag. No public timeline open to the whole internet, no algorithm trying to keep you scrolling, no data sold. If you add a phone number, it's hashed and used only to match contacts who are already on WUD. WUD is for spontaneous plans with the people you actually know — and the ones you're about to.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WUD at none against Oorsee's 6. WUD also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
