# Zoe

> Zoe (zoeapp.co) is a free dating and social app for lesbian, bisexual, and queer women: 7.2M+ registered users, a 4.5-star rating, and apps on iOS and Android. Its key differentiators are Photo Verification and Private Mode for safety, plus a swipe-based match-and-chat experience built specifically for queer women, not a general dating app with an LGBTQ+ filter added on. This site is Zoe's marketing and content hub: what the app does, direct download links, a blog on lesbian and queer dating, an LGBTQ+ glossary, and self-reflection quizzes. Content is written and reviewed by the Zoe editorial team for queer women researching dating, relationships, and identity.
