Common Buzz.
Everything you need to know about the community layer.
Do I need to share my GPS location to use CityBuzz?
No. Unlike other local apps that track you in the background, CityBuzz is privacy-by-choice. You manually select the city or neighborhood you want to see. We believe you should be able to check the pulse of a city without being followed by a map.
Is CityBuzz available in my country?
We are launching globally in Q2 2026. Because our system is based on user-selected cities rather than complex GPS geo-fencing, you can join the Buzz anywhere from Tokyo to New York on day one.
How do you keep the "Buzz" from becoming toxic?
We use a "Community-First" defense. Users who consistently share helpful updates earn "Reputation Points," which gives their posts higher visibility. Toxic behavior is flagged by the community and buried by our velocity-based filters.
Can I use CityBuzz if I’m traveling?
Absolutely. Switch your view to any major city globally to see what locals are talking about right now—from hidden street food to transit delays—before you even leave your hotel.
Is there a cost to use the app?
The core CityBuzz experience is 100% free. We are committed to keeping the community layer accessible to everyone. The "Pulse" will always be free to browse.
