After months of anticipation, we’re finally able to release the brand new version of Dabel today.

Dabel has come a long way, July 2019 to be exact. Although the app has seen some changes since then, today’s release will be the biggest update so far. Dabel’s purpose on the other hand, hasn’t changed: create an open place for inclusive conversations, for anyone at anytime.

Invite-only beta test

As you might have read in one of our previous blog posts, at first we’re launching Dabel 2.0 as an invite-only beta test. Here are a few reasons in a nutshell:

  • We’re trying to keep the app stable and reliable so nothing breaks
  • We want to grow a healthy community of Dabel users
  • We’re building the most accessible social audio platform users have ever seen: better compatibility for VoiceOver users and design improvements for blind and visually impaired users

Can you still get an invite? Yes. How? Very simple. Visit www.dabelbeta.com and sign up there.

What’s new?

In 2021, 33% of users have started their own lounges. Therefore, implementing the feedback of our core users was important to take Dabel to the next step: focusing more on user relationships and a helping users find better conversations.

Some of the new features include users being able to set a Lounge Mood for an immersive audio experience and using the Lounge Themes feature to easily set up and start a lounge.

I signed up… what’s next?

First, you will receive an email from TestFlight inviting you to download the TestFlight app and redeem the beta app of Dabel.

Once you did this, you can open the app, create your profile and start Dabeling!

Need some guidance using the app for the first time? We got you covered. Join one of our onboarding lounges this week where a team member will explain to you how to use and send your feedback on the all new Dabel:

Onboarding lounges schedule

  • 25th April: 5pm — 5:30pm PT
  • 26th — 30th April: 9am — 9:30am CEST & 5pm — 5:30pm PT

Once again, thank you for your continued support. We’re very excited about the launch of Dabel 2.0 and we hope to let it evolve into the best possible version with the help of our awesome Dabel community.
