Question 1

How does Rally work?

Accepted Answer

Rally helps you find people to attend real-world events with. You create an event with a time and place, or browse events nearby. When three people commit to the same event, the group is confirmed and a group chat unlocks so everyone can coordinate. After the event, participants can leave feedback to build reputation and trust.

Question 2

Is Rally a dating app?

Accepted Answer

No. Rally is not a dating app. There are no swipes, no matching, and no romantic framing. Rally is focused on small groups, real plans, and actually showing up to events.

Question 3

Does Rally cost money?

Accepted Answer

Rally is free to use. Some events may require you to pay for your own ticket or entry, such as concerts or ticketed venues, but Rally does not charge fees for creating or joining events.

Question 4

What cities is Rally available in?

Accepted Answer

Rally is available everywhere, but activity depends on local users. More users in your area means more events and faster group formation.

Question 5

How old do I need to be to use Rally?

Accepted Answer

You must be 19 years of age or older to use Rally.

Question 6

How many people are in a Rally group?

Accepted Answer

A group forms when three people commit, including the event creator. Groups can grow up to eight people total.

Question 7

When does the group chat open?

Accepted Answer

The group chat opens only after the minimum group size is reached. This helps ensure that chats are tied to real plans and reduces noise or flaking.

Question 8

Do I have to chat with people before the event?

Accepted Answer

No. The group chat only opens after the minimum number of people commit. You don't need to message anyone beforehand.

Question 9

Can I bring a friend?

Accepted Answer

Of course. Just have your friend download Rally and join the event. Seeing more people committed helps others feel confident joining and makes the plan more likely to happen.

Question 10

What happens if someone cancels or does not show up?

Accepted Answer

After each event, attendees can leave feedback on whether people showed up and were good to be around. Positive feedback is displayed on profiles. Negative feedback is tracked internally and helps identify patterns of flaking or poor behavior.

Question 11

Can I edit an event after people join?

Accepted Answer

No. Once someone joins an event, the details are locked. This ensures clarity and prevents last-minute changes that could affect other participants.

Question 12

What happens if I cancel an event I created?

Accepted Answer

If you cancel an event, it will be marked as cancelled and any associated chat will close. Repeated cancellations may negatively impact your reputation within the app.

Question 13

How long do group chats stay open?

Accepted Answer

Group chats automatically close 24 hours after the event time. This keeps conversations focused and prevents unused chats from lingering.

Question 14

Who can see my event?

Accepted Answer

Events are shown to nearby users who meet age requirements and match the event's audience settings. Rally does not publicly broadcast events outside the app.

Question 15

Can I use Rally anonymously?

Accepted Answer

No. Rally does not allow anonymous accounts. All users must sign in through approved authentication methods and complete a profile.

Question 16

How does location work?

Accepted Answer

Rally uses approximate location to show you nearby events and calculate distance. Rally does not track precise location in the background without permission.

Question 17

Can I message people directly?

Accepted Answer

No. Messaging is limited to group chats associated with confirmed events. This keeps interactions tied to real plans and improves safety.

Rally is designed with safety and accountability in mind. All users must create an account using verified login methods and complete a profile. Events only move forward once a minimum number of people commit, and plans typically take place in public venues. Rally has a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, along with built-in reporting and blocking tools. After events, users review each other, which helps maintain trust and discourages bad behavior. That said, Rally does not supervise events. Users should always exercise good judgment when meeting new people.

You can block or report users at any time. Reports are reviewed, and appropriate action is taken to protect the community.
