Pidge is the app for dating and formal swaps, made only for Cambridge students. Get three pidges a day, or a place at another college’s formal hall. Everyone is verified with a @cam.ac.uk address and photo ID.
You need a @cam.ac.uk address to get in. No one outside the university can join.
Everyone gets three a day, so each one you send is a choice rather than a reflex.
Hosting a guest at your formal earns you a visit to someone else's, so every swap goes both ways.
Everyone confirms they are 18 or over with photo ID, and every photo is checked before it goes up.
“What’s missing is something designed around how Cambridge actually works.”
The app
Dating on one side, Formals on the other, and one switch between them.
Dating: a few new people in your pigeonholes each day.
Formals: offers from other colleges, and the ones you host.
Host a formal: guests, date, time and dress code.
Agree the details in a chat, then accept and book.

On iPhone? Leave your Cambridge address and we will email you when Pidge is on the App Store.
No spam. An email when there is testing to join, an email at launch, and nothing else.
Leave any time. Unsubscribing deletes your details entirely.
An app for Cambridge students with two sides. Dating gives you three pidges a day and 48 hours to talk when you match. Formals lets you swap places at formal hall with people at other colleges.
No. Turn Dating off in your profile and nobody is shown you and you are shown nobody, while Formals works exactly as before.
Host a guest at your college's formal and you earn a visit; spend a visit on a place at someone else's. Everyone starts with one. You agree the date, guests and dress code in a chat, and it is booked when one of you accepts the details the other sent.
No. The price is whatever you and your host agree, and you pay each other directly. Pidge never takes a payment for a formal, and a visit cannot be bought or sold.
Students at the University of Cambridge who are 18 or over. You need an email address ending in exactly @cam.ac.uk, and you confirm your age with photo ID.
Yes. Pidge Gold is optional and gives you more pidges each day, shows you who has pidged you, and puts your profile in front of more people.
Not yet. It is on Google Play now. Join the waitlist on this page and we will email you when it reaches the App Store.
