Inner Circle is a curated members community for people who live ambitious, interesting lifestyles – and want to date people who move in the same circles. Built on the belief that opposites don’t attract, everything starts with two important questions: What are you interested in? And where do you spend your time? Our community is niche by design, and not everyone will be accepted. Each application is reviewed by our membership team to curate a community of people with shared lifestyles and who move in the same circles. Once approved, you'll be a guest in the community and can earn access to features like messaging by inviting friends. Alternatively, you have the opportunity to become an Inner Circle member through a paid subscription. As a member you’re part of something bigger, with full use of the app to connect with the community, as well as invites to events. You’re not for everyone, you’re for someone. --- T&Cs --- Inner Circle is a subscription-based app and members who want to access all the features, or set different preferences, can subscribe for a membership. The membership price is clearly displayed within the app. We offer weekly and monthly subscriptions, plus 3-month and 6-month deals giving discounts on the monthly price. Please note that the price may vary per country, and is subject to change without notice. Inner Circle is free to download and limited features can be used without a subscription. Payment will be charged to your iTunes account. Your subscription will automatically renew, unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can switch off auto-renewal at any time after purchase by going to your settings in the iTunes Store. If you choose not to subscribe for a membership, you can simply continue using and enjoying Inner Circle for free.
