After 25 Years as a Cornerstone of Gay Cruising Culture, Squirt Launches Its First Mobile App in the U.S.
For more than 25 years, Squirt has been one of the most trusted and enduring platforms for gay, bi, and curious men to meet—without filters, algorithms, or apologies. Now, one of the longest-running names in queer connection is officially going mobile in the United States.
Launching nationwide today after a soft-launch in the UK and Canada, the new Squirt mobile app brings the platform’s famously direct, community-driven experience into a streamlined, app-store–compliant format—while staying rooted in what made Squirt iconic in the first place: real-time connection, global reach, and unapologetic cruising culture.
Unlike newer apps built around swiping, gamification, or influencer aesthetics, Squirt was built by and for queer men long before “dating tech” was a category. The app connects seamlessly with Squirt.org, meaning users aren’t dropped into an empty grid or forced to rebuild their 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.”

While the launch version of the app is intentionally more PG-rated to meet app-store requirements, Squirt emphasizes that this is only the beginning. Future updates—including 1:1 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.”
