Reviews for Skout - Meet, Chat, Go Live

Update: Now I can't stream other people's live stream without this error message" An error occured while trying to join". The problem I am having is responding to messages, then having to refresh the inbox only to see my responses aren't updated. In other words, my messages aren't sending to the recipient.

All of sudden, I cannot login to my account. When I tried to login earlier, it would always freeze and refresh, never letting me into the app. Finally, after attempting for two day, I got in. I chose to log out at the end of my session, and now I as I try to log back in with my email, it tells me I have an error, cannot login, OR it thinks I'm signing up for a new account! Of course I can't sign up for a new account with the same email I'm trying to log in with, so now I'm stuck. Good job.

WORRIED ABOUT MY PRIVACY!!!!! Wasn't satisfied with the app so I tried to delete it, wasn't able to because of some issues with my email so I just deleted my photos from the app & log off. Just happen to log back on today & my pictures were REUPLOADED without my permission! They literally make it impossible for you to delete your account I will be taking legal actions!! This is NOT a contract why does signing up take 30 seconds, but deleting the app is a whole strenuous process?

The forced update was not worth it. The filter doesn't work/doesn't work properly. I constantly have to verify my profile. The same profiles show up in the same order on "Near Me" even if I change the distance, ethnicity, age, etc. Only one picture is viewable in a person's profile and that's the profile picture. Garbage.

Love the app but it logged me out after having it a day and now I only get error messages when I try to log in. I've tried to create a new account with different log ins, even tried on the computer. Nothing. I made some friends to help during a tough time and now I can't contact them. It sucks. I contacted customer support. Haven't heard back.

I don't know what's going on with the app. It's been almost a month since I've been on Live. I can't even be on live with my house wifi anymore. I have to be on my phone data to be on it. Its terrible now. I might delete my account and go to Meetme instead. Someone needs to fix the problems with the apps. Especially I've been getting messages from spammers.

The app will no longer allow me to sign in.. it started as a minor inconvenience, having to wait a long loading screen, to an infinite one.. uninstalling and reinstalling honestly wasn't that big of a deal.. but now I can't even login because the database fails to read my information. I'm honestly not very invested in dating apps, so I was expecting to be surprised that anything worked in the end.. and alas, it did not. It's definitely not a terrible app.. be brave and ask someone out instead.

I got blocked right after signing up. The app kept on refreshing and showing the splash screen (showing the Skout logo) but would not let me do anything else. As an app developer myself, I recognize the urgency in finding and fixing these bugs. Instead of waiting for users to send an email to your support, debug the app by trying the sign-up process yourselves. You'll see what many people are talking about. Also, please fix those account-blocking issues as well (including mine).

Update: Idk what they did to the app but I hate it now🙄 I don't even like to use it every time I clear my wedges and close out the app I have to log in again. it's a app😤 you shouldn't have to log in every time you use it!!!! I don't like that it automatically chooses your location doesn't matter if it's correct or not and then it has to be approved for it to be changed... U can't really post statuses you can just look at other people's accounts like and match with people or go live

Nice update that breaks everything and nothing works, can't log in, none of your emails will work but old account still is there. App looks like a clone of every other one now, along with the app stripping all connecting with people from around the world, forcing more boring swiping which was more optional in the original. Another great thing is now it shows accounts that haven't been online it years! And no way to see who is online anymore. Bring back the old version.

Horrible app! Constant error notifications trying to sign on. Then switched to wi-fi and was able to get a profile, and upload pictures (which were approved immediately), and start chatting...but within half an hour I was suddenly locked out of the account. No response from Support, so I uninstall and reinstall. No dice, sure enough I get a notification that my account has been blocked. Now I cannot delete my pictures that I feel like they hijacked. Terrible experience, complete time waste. :(

I really want to like this app. It's easy to use, the ui is simple and functional. It's a great way to meet people in your area easily. BUT, it's flooded with bots. Usually they're simple chat bots who all use the same opener "Hi!" However, I nearly fell for a scam being pushed by a girl with a convincing profile. Thankfully I didn't fall for it, but it was close. Skout could be great, but they need to get their bot problem under control. If they could, it'd be my go to chat app.

Horrible update!!! Can only see the main picture on someone's profile. Can't unblock people in case you change your mind. Doesn't list what state people are from. Can't access livestreams. Have to pay now to see who looked at your profile. It's essential for this option to be free because us girls need to be able to block the same creeps who repeatedly bother us. Don't update meetme please!! It's fine the way it is!

If I could give this app a negative number, I would give it -5. I tried signing up with one email. When that didn't work, I tried my other email. I tried for several days to log in, but each time it denied me. Now, both my emails are blocked for violating the apps terms and policies. I couldn't even get logged into the apps, so how could I have violated their terms and policies...deleting app now!!!!

New update sucks, takes forever to go through a supposed 99+ icebreakers. I've never had that many messages before the update. Makes me think people I previously blocked are no longer blocked. I also don't like that the icebreakers only show age, not location, which makes me have to look at profiles I wouldn't normally look at just to see their location since I don't do long distance. Will give it a couple days but may end up deleting the app since it is not as user friendly in my opinion.

Not enough local profiles every "match" either isn't a match to what we are looking for or are more than 500 miles away. If I could, I'd give less than 1 star if I could! That and the fake profiles are too numerous to count. As soon as you block one another pops up with the same picture but a different place. Do not waste your time or money on this app!

Lately it's been more buggy than usual. Often when I open it, it just gets stuck attempting to log in. The only fix is to uninstall and reinstall it. Developer you got any comments on this? Aside from that, the app is ok at best. Lots of scammers and bots. But also some real ppl. But there's so many different reasons why ppl use this app, it's not very likely you'll find someone who's looking for the same thing you are. Messaging is free. Location filter works ok but not when playing stack.

Looking for a dating or hookup app? Keep looking because this app is neither. It exists to funnel users to "free" chat and live vid - and all require credit cards lol. This is not a complaint about the number of connections, it's that with every connection the other person gives you their email address, with links to guess what. If you're into paid chat, great, this is an app for you.

Can't distinguish who is near compared to who is on the other side of the country. There is no order of distance for profiles. When filtering to state, doesn't work. Profiles 1000 miles away still show. If putting a picture up, you can't crop out your face. If I want someone to see what I look like, I'll decide when to do it. How about fixing your app to see who is closer without going thru every profile you see...

Very disappointed in this app. My first problem was that it put male as my gender when I'm a woman. Luckily, the support team changed it for me. I'm an introvert & joined Skout since it was recommended as being a place where you could find / make friends with people with shared interests and even book clubs. Not true! There's no way to search for people with shared interests. It only goes by location and who's currently online. Plus the user interface is very rudimentary & not easy to navigate.
