Texts from Dobdob

I keep getting texts from Dobdob

Someone picked you as their snitch. Tap the stop link in any of our texts and you'll never get another one, from anyone on Dobdob.

What's a snitch?

The person who hears about it when someone misses a promise. Nobody gets told anything until they've said yes to being a snitch, and they can stop whenever they like.

Does my snitch need the app?

It's better if they have it: flops land in their Mates tab and they can reply. Without it, Supergrass users with a UK mobile snitch can have flops sent by text instead.

Promises and flops

I flopped but I actually did it

Tap the flop on Today, or find it in History (You tab, then the clock at the top), then tap Appeal. You can appeal up to a week back.

Can I take a break?

Yes. Open the promise and tap Pause. A pause lasts up to 7 days, then the promise comes back on by itself. Going away? Settings, then Holiday mode, pauses everything at once.

Can I cheat by changing my phone's clock?

No. Dobdob's server keeps the time and decides what counted. Your phone's clock doesn't come into it.

How do I get mates onto my board?

Open the board, then People. Invite mates sends a notification to mates already on Dobdob. Send a link shares the board by text, WhatsApp or anything else. Nobody joins until they've seen the rules and said yes.

Reporting and blocking

Someone posted a bad photo

Open the photo and tap Report this photo. We look at every report within 24 hours. You can also block the person from their name.

Someone's name or messages are out of order

Tap them (in Mates or on a board), then the ⋯ button, then Report. They aren't told it was you. You can block them from the same menu.

Close my account

In the app: Settings, then Close my account. Sign back in within 30 days to change your mind. After that, everything's deleted: your account, promises, results, photos, snitches, mates, boards and replies.

Can't get into the app? Email hello@dobdob.app from the email address on your account and ask us to close it. We'll do it within 7 days and tell you when it's done. Some records are kept for longer where the law needs them: numbers that asked for no more texts (so they're never texted again), and anything unlawful we've had to report.

Something's broken, or I've got an idea

Settings, then Send feedback. Or email hello@dobdob.app. We read all of it.
