Say what you think. Talk with people who share your interests. BLAB. is a small social network for saying what you think and reading people who care about the same things you do: your work, your music, your films, your sport, your day. No bought followers, no ads chasing you around and no algorithm deciding what you see. TWENTY-EIGHT WORLDS Every topic has its world, with its own color and its own people: Developers, Photography, Music / DJs, Fitness, Startups, Marketing, Video games, Sports, Food, Wellbeing, Film and TV, Travel, Books and comics, Pets, Money, Design and art, AI, Work, People, Daily life, Technology, Home, Fashion and beauty, Cars and bikes, Creators, Learning, Science and Outdoors. Nothing to join: you go in, read and post wherever you like. An answer can sit in two worlds at once. POST YOUR WAY Write what's on your mind and add a photo, a GIF, a link, your location or a poll. Pick a tone if you like: Confession, Roast, Unpopular opinion, Idea or Advice. Quote any answer with your take and choose who can reply: everyone, people you follow or nobody. CHECK-IN Talking about a film, series, book, comic, game, dish, drink, album, podcast or place? Tap Check-in, find it and attach it with your stars. Its cover shows in your answer, and anyone can open it or save it in Raved. AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, THE DAILY CHALLENGE Every day there's one question, the same for everyone, in case you want a spark: "Confess something you do but never admit." Answer it or skip it; it's an extra, not a duty. FIVE WAYS TO REACT Like, That's me, Brutal, Useful and Saving this. Long-press to see what each one means. What you save shows up in your profile. See who reacted and how. FOLLOW WHO INTERESTS YOU The Following tab shows only the people you follow. Every Sunday, "Your week" sums up your answers, reactions, readers and new followers. And if you like a bit of competition: the ranking by world, by country or among the people you follow, and Recommendations, what people have rated and their average score. SMALL ON PURPOSE No intrusive ads and no ad tracking. Today shows what people post, newest first and your languages up front. Nothing is pushed to keep you scrolling. · Report or block anyone from any answer or comment. · Mute the words you'd rather not read. · Translate what's written in other languages with one tap. · Share any answer, or your profile, as a link, an image or an Instagram Story sticker. · Export everything you've written, or delete your account for good, from the app. · Light or dark mode, your choice. SPONSOR A CHALLENGE Brands propose a one-day challenge from Settings → Sponsor a challenge or at blab.day/sponsor, and choose where it shows: one country, up to five or worldwide. We review it, it's paid in the app and it runs for 24 hours with the logo, a link and a "Sponsored by" label. The brand gets a report with reach, answers and reactions. Never who took part. BLAB. PRO — optional Short video and polls in your answers, and a PRO badge next to your name. Pro and sponsored challenges are what pay for the servers. Everything else is free, always. BLAB. Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your App Store account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
