Find something on. Go together.

Yes. Vesica is free to use.

No. Vesica is for making friends through things to do. You meet people because you’re going to the same event, never by browsing profiles or being matched, and there’s no one-to-one chat. Every chat belongs to an event.

A hosted plan is made by a real person in the app. Their avatar (or their business logo) is on it, they’re in the chat, and they choose whether anyone can join or people ask first. A public event is something already on around Brisbane, from Brisbane City Council and City of Moreton Bay listings and Ticketmaster. It has no host in the app and links out to the real event. Its group chat opens once two or more people are going.

For a public event, the chat opens once two or more people tap “I’m going”, so you’ll know someone else is in before you head out. On a hosted plan, the host is already going.

Only people in the same event or chat see you: your first name, your real photo, your bio if you wrote one, and the messages you send there. A host also sees your real photo when you ask to join their plan or join its waitlist. Everyone else only sees your drawn avatar, unless you choose to show your photo to everyone. Avatars come with the latest version of the app. There’s no way to browse or search for people.

Vesica is 18+. Hosts verify their phone number; nobody else is checked. Meet in public, tell a friend where you’re going, and block and report anyone who makes you uncomfortable.

Yes, it’s coming to Android too. The Android version is in testing on Google Play now, like the iPhone one.

For now it covers Brisbane and nearby Moreton Bay suburbs like North Lakes, Redcliffe and Caboolture.

There’s no date yet. Follow @vesica_app and you’ll hear when it opens.
