Reach - Internet Best Friends

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Reach - Internet Best Friends is a social media app designed to connect strangers who share common interests so they can become internet best friends. When setting up their account, teens choose topics of interest (music, sports, technology, fashion, etc) and then join specific groups (for artists, programs, and such). They then specify their age group (13-17 is the youngest, with groups up to 55+) and gender. They also share their hometown and where they currently live and create an account by connecting to Facebook or sharing their email address. They can share their photo, bio, and favorite emojis. That information, along with location and groups joined, matches them with potential internet best friends (IBFs). Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy polices frequently change.
