You connect with up to 6 people for 24 hours to discover people you'd like to meet. During this time, you can express who you are by recording photo/video moments occuring in your daily life and get to know each other through pearing up by answering questions or taking on fun challenges.

Once you identify someone interesting that you want to know, send a Pear. If they send one back before the 24 hours is up, you get Peared Up and become friends. As friends, you get to stay connected, chat directly and continue following each other's story.

If you're unable to find anyone and all your cards are still awaiting users, this means there is no one available that currently matches your age and distance preferences. Try increasing your preferences so a broader range of users can find you.

Since we just recently launched, there's a possibility that there is no one around you just yet. Please be patient and help us spread the word as we continue to improve the app with new updates, improvements and fixes.

Pear strives towards developing and nurturing a healthy balance of people you can connect with.

A Pear is a token of friendship that lets people know you want to be friends with them. The other user will not see who sent a Pear unless they send one to you too.

Each person gets a total of 6 Pears. When Pears are "Sent" or become "Peared", they become unavailable. To free up the Pears, you can unpear from a friend or wait for sent Pears to return when the other user didn't send one back to you within the 24 hours.

You can chat directly when you both pear up and become friends. If you aren't friends, you can only express who you are through your story, sharing moments, answering questions and taking challenges from connections.

Friend Status is a way for you to be more mindful of the friends you make. When you become friends, your status will be indicated by the Pear icon and color. To improve your friend status, message each other regularly everyday. If you lose contact, your friend status will fall and eventually disappear. Will your friendship grow or disappear? Build a streak and see how far your friendship can go.

Pear is about expressing who you are raw in the moment. It's a little space you share with 6 people which is why its important the content you share is something done within the app. NOT to be mistaken with any content you share elsewhere. It also ensures that people aren't catfishing and faking their identity so you can rest assured.

When you are pearing up and getting to know your connections, it provides a way for all your connections to learn more about you when you otherwise would not have known.
