2NIGHT: Meet Singles Tonight

MEET TONIGHT, NOT SOMEDAY.

2NIGHT is the dating app for the evening you are actually free. Say you are going out, see who else is out near you, and meet tonight — instead of texting for three weeks and never leaving the house.

MATCH. CHAT. GO OUT.

Switch yourself on when you are up for it and you appear to the people nearby who did the same. Ping the ones you like, chat when it is mutual, and make it real the same night. Nobody is in the Tonight feed by default, so everyone you see chose to be there.

PLANS — A FIRST DATE THAT ALREADY HAS A PLACE AND A TIME

Post a plan: a rooftop at seven, a table with a spare seat at nine, a walk on Sunday morning. Pick the place, the time, the category and how many people it fits. Or open the list and join someone else's. It is the easiest first date there is, because you both already know where you are going.

SINGLES AND NEW PEOPLE NEARBY, AT THE DISTANCE YOU CHOOSE

Drag the radius where you want it: 5 km free, 15 km on Gold, 50 km on Platinum Black. Look at your own street when you are staying local, or at the far side of town when you are heading there anyway. The server honours the same number the slider shows.

CHAT WITH NO LANGUAGE BARRIER — FREE

Tap a message written in a language you do not read and it is translated on your phone. No server in the middle, no charge, included on the free tier. Send a video message of up to 30 seconds instead of typing. Staring at an empty box? The app drafts an opener, or a reply, on your device, from what is really on their profile — for you to edit. Nothing sends itself.

SQUADS — GO OUT TOGETHER

Bring your friends. See who is ready, who is late and who is in, and turn a match into a night out.

SAFETY IS NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT

Block and report sit on every profile, every message and every plan, and the server does the enforcing, in both directions. A status carries an end time and runs out at 5 AM, so you are never left discoverable by accident. 18+ only.

FREE, GOLD AND PLATINUM BLACK

Silver is free and usable on its own: 15 pings a night, 5 km, plans, the Tonight feed, chat, translation, video messages and icebreakers.

Gold takes the nightly ping cap off, widens the radius to 15 km and adds Travel Mode, so you can set your city before you land in it.

Platinum Black goes out to 50 km.

Gold and Platinum Black are auto-renewing subscriptions. They renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Google Play.

You must be 18+ to use 2NIGHT.

WHO USES 2NIGHT, AND WHAT FOR

Singles who want a date tonight instead of a three-week text thread. People who have just moved and want to meet people nearby and make new friends. Two friends going out who want to meet another pair. Travellers who want to see who is out in a city before they land in it.

You choose what you are open to — dating, friends, both, or networking — and only people who switched themselves on appear. There is no catalogue of accounts last opened in March: if someone is in the feed tonight, they put themselves there tonight.

Free to use, with chat translation that runs on your own phone. 18+.
