Today, Skout is a hybrid social networking site as well as a place where young people meet, make friends, find love, and even meet up socially for a more fulfilling experience. Skout is a location-based website, and what that means is that the matches that the site gets for its users are invariably someone who lives nearby, and therefore meeting outside of the virtual world is never impossible if things do take a serious turn between them.

A grid appears with photographs of all the members who are located near you. You get to decide if you want to chat with them or flirt with them or send messages. Skout has been popularly known to be the first-ever dating application that worked based on location. It is unbelievable that a website that is less than 11 years in business has been able to garner a whopping 5.
In the next year itself, it was ready to roll out an iPad version of its application for the digitally savvy Apple fans. Skout is available to both iOS and Android users, and that is why it is the most popular dating app. Either way, be assured that the registration will not take more than two minutes on the whole.
The information required from the new members is minimal, and there is absolutely no verification of the email address. So the moment you fill up your data and click on the Submit button, you officially have an account on this superb platform.
The only negative repercussion of emails being not verified is that there may be many fake accounts. Be assured that the company takes strict note of any abuse that is reported by the members and bans them either temporarily or permanently depending on the seriousness of the abuse. Every member, irrespective of his status as a basic or a premium one can message other members on the website for free.
When a user receives a message, he or she can preview the message and decide to accept or reject it. The fallout of a rejected message is that the application will take a cue and block the user in a bid to keep you safe from spammers. Photo commenting is free for all too. Members can heart a list of profiles that they like and mark them as favorites. The live chat feature is very popular with its patrons, and you can choose to chat up with anyone who wants to.
The chronology is thus:. There may be times when you accidentally delete a message because of preoccupation or a misunderstanding. Easy no! If you are on some other dating website simultaneously or have had a history of being a member of some of them, at least, you will know that Skout has way too many features than any dating app. Most of the features are super-happy with the members, mainly because they are unique. You could sometimes end up feeling that the layout of the application both the desktop and the mobile is too crowded and unorganized.
For new users, the graphic interface and site map is going to be a bit too overwhelming. However, the confusion will settle down as you get used to its layout and determine what features you like best. The application is available on the play store for both iOS and Android users. There is a cute section where the app throws suggested profiles on your feed.
These are viral profiles, but they do not meet your location criteria. There is so much on the app that you can easily spend 5 to 7 hours daily without repeating the same thing twice in that much time.
One pet peeve with its user members is that there are far too many advertisements, and half of the time is spent only shutting down the pop-up folders that keep opening in every corner of the screen.
We do understand that the paid subscription model has zero ads, but bombarding their free users with so many ads may prove counterproductive because, honestly, who has so much patience nowadays!
That is something that they need to fix. These are most likely bots that have been pressed by third parties to capitalize on the extensive database that Skout has managed to garner.
It is usually how it is with most of the dating apps nowadays and despite the websites doing their extra bit to keep these infiltrators out. They come back in droves. They can also react as well as comment on profile pictures and mark profiles as favorites too. Messaging is completely free.
The app allows all its members to be able to see who has checked them out.
