Nobody likes first dates. They rarely go well. But when they do, there’s nothing more exciting than date two, when you already know there’s a real connection. What if there was a way to skip the first date entirely? Well, now there is. Welcome to LOKO! LOKO is about bringing romance back to dating by taking it back to its roots. We believe that personality and chemistry are the keys to developing a true relationship. LOKO eliminates the biggest frustrations of online dating, and helps real people make sincere connections that lead to meaningful dates. LOKO is the first video-only online dating app, and it’s the only app that holds matches accountable to meet in real life. Here’s how it works: 1. The video-only profiles allow users to make true first impressions, while also getting a stronger sense of their matches’ real personalities. All profiles must be approved by the administrator prior to going live on the app, so there's no need to worry about inappropriate profiles. 2. Once a connection is made, users have 24-hours to schedule a virtual date within the app; if they don’t, they’re unmatched. 3. The virtual date, or what we call ELIMIDATES are done through video chat and capped at 15 minutes. ELIMIDATES allow users to get a real sense of the person they’re interacting with in the safe, comfortable environment of your own home. It also means you don’t have to write a two-person War & Peace-length text novel on your phones. You’ll only agree to meet in person if you know there’s a connection that points to a meaningful first date. Once they’ve hung up, if the couple hasn’t agreed to meet or exchange contact info, they will not be able to match or communicate with each other via the app again. This is to encourage users to actually get together. Our goal is to bring matches together for the kind of magical, face-to-face first dates where you spend the entire evening getting to know each other, instead of getting acquainted in back-and-forth text exchanges. In the end its simple – its about real people making real connections! ====== Subscription Conditions: • When subscribing to LOKO, $3.49 will be charged on a monthly basis, or $1.49 will be charged on a weekly basis. • Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. • Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription. • Your account will be charged for a renewed subscription of your selected timeframe (either $3.49 for one month, or $1.49 for one week) within 24 hours prior to the end of current subscription. • You can manage your subscription or switch off the auto-renewal by accessing your iTunes account settings after purchase. • You cannot cancel the current subscription during the active subscription period. • Any unused part or time span of a free trial period will be forfeited, as soon as you purchase a subscription. • All personal data is handled under the terms and conditions of LOKO’s privacy policy.

I’d let him lay on top of me! ### 5/5 — i’m really excited to see where this goes! *2020-08-10, version 0.5.5* it looks awesome ✨ ### 5/5 — Mmm mmm good *2020-08-02, version 0.5.5* Thank you Norm MacDonald. ### 2/5 — They have something here.. *2020-05-12, version 0.5.5* ..but no one knows about it. Haven’t matched with anyone closer than 1,000 miles away. They need to advertise, terribly. ### 3/5 — Great concept but... *2020-04-11, version 0.5.5* This should be the future of dating apps. Tired of fake accounts? This fixes that. The problems with the app at this stage are too many though. No local matches simply because there aren't enough users. They need a big ad campaign to bolster the user base. All users seem to be hundreds if not thousands of miles away. The interface is clunky at best. The app is half baked. It's too bad. I think this could overtake the other big dating apps. ### 1/5 — Great idea, app was probably not ready to be released yet *2020-04-08, version 0.5.5* I really like the idea behind this app, but the execution and functionality of the app is missing the mark. All of the people that the app is sending my way are thousands of miles away. And despite my filter being set to women I am only getting male videos. I think there are a few bugs that need to be worked out here. ### 1/5 — Great concept bad execution *2020-04-07, version 0.5.5* It’s making me watch other dudes videos from hundreds of miles away despite telling the app I’m a straight man and giving them my location. Adam Corolla is trolling with this one don’t waste your time. ### 5/5 — question *2020-03-16, version 0.5.2* how long does the verification take? ### 5/5 — I only downloaded it cause Norm made it *2020-02-18, version 0.5.2* <3 ### 1/5 — Fatal flaw *2020-02-11, version 0.5.2* Just signed up for the app, it requires a birthday yet doesn’t allow you to enter a birthday lol ## Frequently asked questions about LOKO ### How does LOKO encourage real-life meetings?
