unusable app. The app looks like it was made to run in Windows 98. It was pixelated and grainy. I kept getting a friend request that even after accepting was popping up saying I had the same request. The few "meetups" I saw were just getting drinking and smoking cigars. Also kept getting event reminders for some online seminar BS

Description
They struggle with doing it alone.
Dad Tribes was created to bring fathers back into community.
This app helps dads connect with other fathers who live nearby, have kids around the same age, and share similar hobbies and interests. Instead of endless scrolling and social media noise, Dad Tribes is built to help men build real friendships and get together in real life.
No politics.
No negativity.
No addictive algorithms.
Just a community of dads supporting each other and raising strong families.
Find Dads Near You
Our map helps you discover other dads in your area who share similar hobbies, interests, and stages of life. Whether you're into fishing, golf, fitness, gaming, or entrepreneurship, you can find other dads nearby who enjoy the same things.
Your privacy is protected. Locations are randomized so your exact location is never shown.
Join Local Group Chats
Connect with other dads in your city through topic-based group chats. Talk with other fathers about parenting, hobbies, careers, and life.
Some popular conversations include:
• DIY projects and home repairs
• Cars, trucks, and builds
• Fitness and training
• Outdoor adventures
• Parenting advice
• Local meetups and activities
Discover Events for You and Your Kids
Dad Tribes chapters host free events where dads can bring their kids and spend quality time together while meeting other families.
From park meetups to outdoor adventures, these events are designed to strengthen families and friendships.
Built for Real Life, Not Screen Time
Unlike traditional social media, Dad Tribes is designed to help you spend less time on your phone and more time with people in your community.
This is a place where dads can:
• build friendships
• support each other
• share knowledge
• strengthen their families
Powered by Local Businesses
Everything inside Dad Tribes is funded by local businesses that support fatherhood and family. Their support allows the community to remain completely free for dads.
You may see local businesses highlighted on the map or supporting local events in your area.
Launch a Dad Tribes Chapter
If your area doesn’t have an active Dad Tribes chapter yet, you can help bring the movement to your city and build a stronger community for local fathers.
Fatherhood was never meant to be done alone.
Join the Dad Tribes movement and connect with dads in your community.

definitely a great idea and great app! the new updates have really made the app useful and easy to use!
Put two of my email in and tells me in vaid yet another app for dad's doesn't work like the rest
This app offers no actual useful functions other than already trying to sell advertising. It's a pin drop map of other people in the area (and very few at that) then a big link to encourage someone to buy an advert. The few features they have often don't work, you're better off joining a local discord or Facebook group to find other dads. Competitions are all AI images so wouldn't shock me if the entire app is vibe coded slop.
Amazing app, Absolutely Amazing Group 10/10 I recommend.
this thing barely even functions
Every time I open the app, it just freezes and kicks me out! Good idea if it actually worked.
Great app to link up with dad's in my area! looking forward to building solid friendships with fellow dads! Iron sharpens iron!
I absolutely love this app! dads have a place to connect and find friendships again!
can't even set location. poorly made app
