Safer

I am very thankful that there’s finally a dating app that provides background checks for the men I’m looking at dating. It makes me feel safer.

Love the concept

Finally someone got it right

Fantastic

This is a new approach to dating and match matching! It’s a very straightforward process that gets me excited to go on dates to venues I’ve never been before. It’s a 10/10 for me!

FAQ

How does Skip make first dates safer?

Skip enhances safety by requiring matches to pass background checks and custom deal breakers before a first date. It also uses profile verification and date reviews to add accountability and prevent issues like bots or scams.

What are Skip's 'deal breakers'?

Deal breakers are custom criteria you set within Skip to ensure a match meets your essential compatibility requirements before you agree to a first date. Your match must pass 100% of your set deal breakers.

Can I chat with someone before a date on Skip?

No, Skip intentionally does not have an in-app chat feature. This design choice aims to prevent bots, scams, unsolicited pictures, and AI chatfishing, encouraging direct in-person connections.

How do Skip Date Cards work?

Digital Date Cards can be sent via text, DM, or link, inviting someone to view your Skip profile and like you if interested. Physical Date Cards can be handed to someone in person as a low-pressure way to share your profile.

What kind of background checks does Skip require?

Skip requires matches to complete a background check that includes SSN verification and ID review before they can propose a date. This ensures a baseline level of screening for potential dates.

Is Skip available on all devices?

Skip is currently available for iPhone and iPad users. The app is designed for Apple's mobile operating system.

How often is Skip updated?

The latest version of Skip is 4.0.31, and it was last updated on November 2nd, 2026. This indicates a recent update, suggesting ongoing development and maintenance.

What is the user sentiment for Skip?
