About

This is an app that is to help you find your type of people and make friends. You are able to specify what type of person you want to be friends with and what they can do for you. Bumble talks about how having a strong community is key to a happy, healthy life, and it doesn't matter whether you are in a romantic relationship or not. You create an account, build your profile, then start talking to others and potentially move to the real world.
