Bamboo vs Bumble BFF
An app that is not in Israel's app stores - or a meetup with people here, this week?
Bumble BFF is now a standalone Bumble app: you browse profiles, wave at each other, and move on to a 1:1 chat or to Groups. It is free, but it is not in the Israeli App Store or Google Play. Bamboo was built in Hebrew for Israel, and on it you see who is coming to every meetup.
