Our review
★★★☆☆ 3.1
Blued, founded by a former policeman turned activist, became the largest gay app in China and one of the largest anywhere, operating in a market where visibility is politically delicate. Live streaming drives its business. Outside China and Southeast Asia its presence is limited.
Pros
- Huge Chinese and SEA user base
- Operates despite a hard environment
- Rich live features
Cons
- Limited reach outside Asia
- Streaming-first monetization
- Privacy considerations in-market
