I don’t think the bar is that high.
It accepted me saying I was one if the top 10% but it didn’t actually ask me anything? I am intelligent as an individual, but you wouldn’t know that from the questions they ask.
Completely Flawed
I will preface that I was "approved," so I’m not just bitter. I downloaded this app because I thought maybe there'd be some kind of fun IQ test I could try to "win," but evidently "intelligence" is simply determined by whether you went to a highly ranked school. No quiz at all! There were only like 8 options for professions and none of them was remotely related to what I do (design), nothing remotely creative at all. There was also a category where you choose hobbies and you were just supposed to select a standardized test. I suppose you're just supposed to select the one that you have taken, but I don't think you were able to choose more than one and I'm not sure why a standardized test would be considered a hobby. There wasn't a way to indicate your score or anything so I guess you're just showing off the fact that you've taken the LSAT or something? The ad I saw said it filtered only "smart people." Inherently that's already problematic, but I signed up out of curiosity and to see if I'd make the cut. The description once you're inside the app "meet ambitious people," is much more accurate, because clearly this is catered to corporate yuppies and finance bros. I suppose the notion of choosing an app that "filters only smart people" should already be an indicator that it will be full of obnoxious yuppies, but warning if you are at all interesting or creative or intellectual, or believe intelligent people could have gone to city college(!), this probably isn't the app for you... also you are not able to proceed with creating a profile unless you sync all of your contacts...

Paid membership
Be more transparent about the fact that it’s a paid membership. You sign up and invite friends then get hit with the purchase. Sure it could be worth it but I didn’t appreciate not being up front.
Response from developer
Thank you so much for your feedback. To clarify, it is $100 a year only for gold access membership, you can opt out and access the app with some limits and that is completely free. Please feel free to email us at hello@clockoutapp.com if you want to chat directly, thanks again.
Can’t access
Was looking forward to try gaining access, but currently living and working in Tokyo with no available US, nor UK phone number to use for the app. Maybe someday.
Clockout review
I absolutely love the Clockout app. It is super cool and innovative. I’d like how there are meet ups in your city with like-minded individuals. Doesn’t feel as intimidated as other networking apps.
