TalkCity Discover screen with the day's schedule by area

You know that party you love, but only found out it happened after seeing the photos?

Or that bar you go to, but never knew had live music every Wednesday?

The schedule was out there. But Instagram didn't show it, you didn't check the ticketing site, or you simply didn't know where to look.

The problem isn't a lack of options.
It's not knowing what's happening.

TalkCity brings together the schedules of Belo Horizonte's bars, shows and parties in one place, organized by day and area.

Screen with parties and shows, music styles and artists
02

Got there? Check in through TalkCity

At the venue, tap Entrar agora (Enter now). The app uses your location to check that you're really there. Anyone who isn't there can't get in, and can't see who is.

03

You're already in the right place.
Now meet who's there.

While you're at the venue, you show up for the others who checked in, and you see who they are. Outside of it, nobody sees you.

when to show up.

the venue check-in radius at 300 m, the app knows you've left
The radius

To check in, you have to be there.

When you tap Entrar agora (Enter now), the app reads your phone's GPS once and checks that you're inside the venue's radius. Each venue has its own: at most bars it is between 30 and 100 meters, and larger for big spaces. The venue screen shows the radius before you check in. Nobody can check in from home.

After you check in, the app only checks your position again while it is open. If you're more than 300 meters from the venue, it knows you've left and takes you off the list.

Your location is never read in the background, and TalkCity does not keep a record of where you go.

There is no profile search on TalkCity.

Nobody can find you by typing your name, and there is no gallery of people to browse. The only way to show up is to check in at a venue, and only those who checked in there see you, while you are both there.

Location only while the app is open

It is read to confirm you're at the venue and to list venues nearby. Never in the background, and with no history of where you've been.

You only show up where you checked in

And only for people at the same venue, while you're there.

Your presence ends on its own

When you leave, when you move away from the venue, or after 6 hours, whichever comes first.

Chats only with people who accept

A Talk only becomes a conversation if the other person accepts, and the same goes for the Talks you receive.

Verified phone

Every account confirms a mobile number by SMS, which cuts down on fake profiles. The number is never shown to anyone.

Block and report

At any time, from the person's profile or the chat. TalkCity is for adults 18 and over only.

FAQ

How each feature works.

Nothing found. Write to suporte@orbitverse.io and we'll get back to you.

What's on

How do I find something to do tonight?

On the Descobrir (Discover) screen, the day's schedule is shown by area. Tap a music style to see only venues with that style, or an artist's name to see where they'll play.

What are favorite venues?

On TalkCity you'll find events of every style, for every taste. Saving your favorite venues is what makes the app yours and shows you first what you can't miss: favorites appear ahead of the others in the lists.

On the Free plan you can save up to 5 venues. On Intermediate and Premium, as many as you like.

What is "Mostrar que vou" (I'm going) for?

So your friends know your plans: which bar, show or party you're going to. That makes it easy to meet up there.

How to mark it: in a venue's schedule, tap the three dots next to the event and choose Mostrar que vou.

How your friends see it: in the Talks tab, your photo gets a colored ring, like a story. Anyone who taps your photo can choose Ver próximos eventos (See upcoming events) and see which event, where and when. The same option is on your profile and in your chat.

Who sees it: only your connections. Nobody else finds out.

Can I send a venue's schedule to someone?

Yes, in two ways:

• The whole schedule: on the venue's page, tap the paper plane next to the schedule title. It goes as an image you can send through any app.
• A single event: tap the three dots next to it and choose Enviar para um amigo (Send to a friend) to send it to a connection in TalkCity, or Compartilhar (Share) to send it as an image through another app.

A place I go to isn't in the app. What now?

Write to suporte@orbitverse.io with the venue's name. We'll review it and add it.

Does TalkCity work in other cities?

For now, only in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

At the venue

How do I check in at a venue?

Open the venue's page and tap Entrar agora (Enter now). The app uses your location to confirm you're there.

Why do I have to be close to check in?

Because each venue's list only makes sense with people who are really there. When you tap Entrar agora, the app uses GPS to check that you're inside the venue's radius. Each venue has its own, between 30 and 100 meters at most bars, and the venue screen shows it before you check in.

Nobody can check in from home or appear at a venue they're not at.

Why can't I check in?

The most common reasons:

• you're still too far from the venue: get closer and try again;
• location is set to approximate: TalkCity needs your precise location. On iPhone, go to Settings → TalkCity → Location and turn on Precise Location. On Android, go to Settings → Apps → TalkCity → Permissions → Location and turn on Use precise location;
• on the Free plan, you have already checked in somewhere today. Unlimited check-ins come with Premium.

How long do I stay checked in?

Until you leave, until the app notices you've moved away, or for 6 hours at most. When that happens, you get a notice and stop appearing on the list.

If you're still at the venue, just tap Entrar agora (Enter now) again. Going back to the same venue on the same day doesn't count as a new check-in on your plan.

How do I leave a venue?

On the venue screen, tap Sair do local (Leave). You stop appearing for others right away.

What is the status?

A way to show how your night is going to people at the same venue: 😎 Curtindo (enjoying), 🍺 Tomando uma (having a drink), ✌️ Good Vibes and others, plus a colored mood dot. It's optional.

People and chats

What is a Talk?

It's your introduction message to someone at the same venue. They only read your message if they accept the Talk.

If they accept, you become a connection and can chat freely.

How does "Tenho interesse" (I'm interested) work?

Nobody finds out that you marked it. Only when the other person also marks "Tenho interesse" on you, you both get a notice in Talks and can start chatting.

If it isn't mutual, nothing happens and nobody is notified.

How do favorite people work?

Mark someone as a favorite and get notified when they arrive at the same venue as you, or if they're already there when you arrive. They don't find out they were favorited.

Favoriting people is part of the Premium plan.

What are connections?

The people you already chat with, because a Talk was accepted or the interest was mutual. You can remove a connection at any time from the person's profile.

Someone bothered me. What do I do?

On the person's profile or in the chat, tap Bloquear (Block): they can no longer see you or talk to you. If needed, also tap Denunciar (Report). Reports are reviewed by TalkCity's administration.

Privacy and account

Who can see my profile?

People at the same venue as you, while you're there, and your connections. There is no people search: nobody can find you by typing your name.

Does TalkCity track where I go?

No. Location is only read while the app is open, to confirm you're at the venue and to list venues nearby. There is no background tracking and no location history.

Can I check in without showing up?

Yes, with Premium's visibility tools: you can check in without appearing on the list, or appear only to one gender.

But you still have to be there: nobody can check in from outside the radius, not even on Premium.

Why does the app ask for my phone number?

To confirm there's a real person behind every account. The number is verified by SMS and is never shown to anyone.

How do I delete my account?

In the app, under Configurações → Excluir conta (Settings → Delete account). If you no longer have the app, follow the instructions on this page.

Plans

Is TalkCity free?

Yes. The Free plan shows today's schedule, lets you check in at one venue a day, see who else is there and send unlimited Talks.

Every new account gets 30 days of Premium to try everything.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Through the store itself: on iPhone, Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. On Android, Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal.

What is the 24h Premium Pass?
