About this app
Yubo, from Twelve APP, is a social app for meeting new people rather than dating: you swipe through people who are online and share your interests, and the pitch is making friends from anywhere in the world, with the tone of a hangout rather than a network. Tags sort people by what they're into, such as gaming, beauty, sports, music or dance, so you can find others in the same corner. Chat covers everything from talking about your day to singing or dancing, as the listing puts it. The developer says safety tools are built in throughout, and that the main features will always be free. Optional Yubo Power Pack and Yubo Elite Pack subscriptions, sold weekly, monthly or for three months, add extras, with prices varying by country and shown in the app.
Yubo: Chat Meet & Make Friends: the full guide
What the app is
Friendship, not dating, is the stated purpose. Yubo, from Twelve APP, shows you people who are online right now and share your interests, and you swipe to connect. The pitch is making friends anywhere in the world in the register of a hangout rather than a professional network or a romance app.
Tags sort users by interest: gaming, beauty, sports, music, dance and so on. Chat ranges from talking about your day to live singing or dancing. The developer says safety tools run throughout, and promises the core features stay free. Power Pack and Elite Pack subscriptions, billed by the week, month or quarter, add extras.
How it works day to day
An evening on Yubo is a swipe session through people online at that moment, filtered by a tag or two, with a match leading to chat. Live streams are where the energy is: someone is singing, someone is dancing, and people drop in to watch and talk.
It moves quickly and the social pressure is low because nobody is pretending to look for a partner. Friendships form in group conversations as much as one-to-one. The paid packs presumably add visibility or extra swipes, though the listing doesn't say what they contain; prices vary by country and appear in the app.
Why people look for it
Loneliness, mainly, dressed up as curiosity about meeting people abroad. Yubo's audience skews young and is looking for a social space that isn't school and isn't a dating app. The live component appeals to people who want to perform or watch. With 100K+ ratings at 4.5 it has a large base, and the 17+ rating means searchers should note it is an adult-rated product.
Look and feel
Four screenshots, one fewer than most entries, likely showing the swipe cards, a live stream and a chat. Expect a bright, youthful interface with full-screen profile photos and bold tag chips, in the style of consumer social apps. The Social category covers a lot of ground; Yubo sits at the playful, visual end of it.
