Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from Tinder?

Instead of swiping on cards within a mile radius, shoot your shot on people you see, already know of, or meet in real life. Parrot is the first app that allows you to match from search and detect users within feet of you. It's a social network where you can send anonymous match requests to people you actually interact with and stay in the loop with moves on campus.

How can I join Parrot?

Email us! We're looking for all kinds of skillsets, including but not limited to: marketing, media, software development and strategy

Why can I only use college email?

Signing up with a university email is a short term solution for ensuring safety of users and testing on college campuses.

Is it available for Android?

No, not yet.

Ok, but how is Parrot better than Tinder/Bumble?

With several ways to chirp users, Parrot aspires to bring true ownership of the match request–allowing you to validate interest in people you're more likely going to connect with on campus. Tinder is an app where people swipe out of boredom or for a confidence boost, instead Parrot provides a solution for both students who use and who don't use dating apps.

Why is Parrot a better platform for women?

Because Parrot doesn't using swiping as the mechanism to find people, users aren't reduced to cards in a stack. At any point you can chirp and un-chirp a user. After matching, you can easily un-match (ghost), report or completely block users from viewing your profile. Because both parties have to send a chirp to each other and you're likely to interact with your match in real life, there's also no need for women to always make the first move.

Who is Parrot for?

Parrot is an alternative to dating apps – it's for the person who may be curious in validating interest from their peers in real life without having to make a dating profile or be vocal. Parrot is also for the college student who wants to know what's going on around them on campus. The concept works best on campuses in less urban environments.
