BALMA is the world's first app dedicated to connecting South Asian LGBTQIA+ individuals and their allies. Our mission is to foster a safe and inclusive space for South Asians who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual, as well as their supportive allies.

Created and supported by a diverse team of individuals from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal, BALMA is run by members of the LGBT, gay, trans, and Hijra communities. Our app emphasizes inclusivity and diversity, offering a wide array of features designed to enhance user experience while maintaining strict data security standards. Here's what makes BALMA stand out:

User Profiles:

BALMA allows users to craft profiles that reflect their unique identities. You can include details such as age, location, interests, relationship status, and pronouns, enabling you to showcase your authentic self.

Live Broadcasting:

With BALMA's Live broadcast feature, users can stream video content to a broader audience. Viewers can engage through comments and virtual gifts, which can be converted into cash, rewarding creators and encouraging more content production.

Chatting:

BALMA's messaging system facilitates communication through text messages, photo sharing, video exchanges, virtual gifts, and tipping, helping to nurture connections and spark meaningful conversations.

Location-Based Connections:

As a Queer social networking app, BALMA uses geolocation to help you find and connect with other LGBTQIA+ individuals in your vicinity, making it easier to establish local connections and organize meetups.

Community:

BALMA encourages a sense of belonging by enabling users to join or form interest-based communities and groups. This feature promotes LGBT+ networking, Queer discussions, and the organization of topics centered around LGBTQIA+ themes.

Video Chat:

The video chat feature on BALMA allows LGBT+ users to engage in face-to-face conversations, enhancing communication and fostering stronger bonds.

Events:

BALMA keeps users informed about LGBTQIA+ events, parties, Pride celebrations, and social gatherings in various cities, facilitating community engagement and connection-building within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Travel Mode:

BALMA's Travel Mode lets users connect with locals and fellow travelers before arriving at a destination, offering opportunities to meet like-minded individuals and explore LGBTQIA+-friendly locations. A Travel Mode icon in the settings helps indicate your visitor status.

Safety and Verification:

For your security, BALMA implements robust safety features such as user verification, screenshot protection, reporting, and blocking options, ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all members of the LGBTQIA+ community. These measures help protect against harassment and encourage respectful interactions.

Balma Subscriptions:

BALMA is free to download and use. However, premium features and services are available through optional subscription packages (BALMA Unlimited) or individual paid services (such as Gifts and Tips) that don't require a subscription.

We offer various subscription durations, including weekly, monthly, 3-month, and 12-month options, with occasional discounted prices for longer commitments. Please note that pricing may vary by country and is subject to change. The app clearly displays current prices.

Your subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your iTunes account will be charged at the renewal price within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period unless you adjust your subscription preferences.
