Gay Cruising Site Squirt Launches Its First Mobile App in U.S.

MONTREAL—"For more than 25 years, Squirt.org has been one of the most trusted and enduring platforms for gay, bi and curious men to meet—without filters, algorithms or apologies,” a company representative said. “Now, one of the longest-running names in queer connection is officially going mobile in the United States.” Launching nationwide today, following a soft-launch in the U.K. and Canada, the Squirt mobile app brings the platform’s direct, community-driven experience into a streamlined, app-store–compliant format—while staying rooted in real-time connection, global reach and “unapologetic cruising culture.” “Squirt was built by and for queer men long before ‘dating tech’ was a category,” the rep continued. The new app connects seamlessly with Squirt.org, meaning users aren’t dropped into an empty grid or forced to rebuild community from scratch. “Squirt has always been about making connections simple, immediate and stigma-free,” said Andrew Nolan, head of dating businesses at Pink Triangle Press. “The app brings that same philosophy to mobile—without losing the culture or the people who made Squirt what it is.” Squirt App features include: • One shared account across app and web—log in once, connect everywhere • Cross-platform messaging with Squirt.org members • A fully populated “Guys Grid” from day one—no “ghost towns, no waiting” • Push notifications so users never miss an opportunity  • Search and chat anywhere in the world • 10 free days of “Fan Club” access for new members   While the launch version of the app is PG-rated to meet app-store requirements, Squirt emphasized that this is “only the beginning.” Future updates, including one-on-one video chat, are already in development. “This isn’t just another guys-on-a-map app,” Nolan added. “It’s a mobile extension of one of the largest, longest-running queer meetup communities in the world." The Squirt app is available in the U.S. on Google Play Store as “SQ Dating—Gay Chat & Meet.” Learn more at sqdating.com.
