When users instead see mostly inactive profiles, limited discovery, hidden features, and barriers to messaging, it becomes difficult to understand why a new or existing user would stay. ### 2/5 — Bullying on app and threatening others *2026-07-08, version 229.1* The bullying online as well people being threatened should need to be blocked for life ### 1/5 — Ripped off *2026-07-08, version 229.1* I paid for my subscription and they didn’t even give me the premium I paid for which is a joke ### 2/5 — It’s so slooooow! *2026-07-05* After about 1 minute, the app becomes unbearably slow and freezes a lot. There are also lots of ads lately. Also, why is my profile only showing me Filipina matches when I am living in Japan??? That’s strange. **Developer response:** Hi there! We’d like to learn more about the issue you reported. Please contact us at support@skout.com and our Support Team will investigate. ### 1/5 — Drug addicts paradise *2026-07-05, version 229.1* This app is rife with drug addicts either asking for drugs or offering drugs , reported it to skout but they do nothing . ### 1/5 — What is this Soviet Russia *2026-06-30, version 229.0* So my profile is going to be banned in 72 hours unless I submit a photo of me and my ID but you can have all these other clowns with blank profiles stay gfys ### 1/5 — Can’t see near ppl *2026-06-26, version 228.1* 1 ### 1/5 — Terrible Development Management and steam *2026-06-25, version 228.1* The developers seem more in tune with creating one of the worst battery hogs while providing some of the worst video of social media platforms. To top it off they seem to be able to add multiple bugs with each update and are completely inept at actually fixing any bugs they introduce.To top it all off, they try to charge users for features that other apps provide for free while making it substantially inferior. HD video for example- oops never mind, they removed that subscription feature and claim it’s free to everyone. ### 2/5 — Rude and useless *2026-06-20, version 228.0* This app has gotten like tagged the men are rude and disgusting on here they love to pick on women and bullied them for no reason this app is full of envy men that don’t want a good looking decent woman or just to meet wow I rather recommend uninstalling this rude useless app!!! ### 1/5 — App is wack *2026-06-20, version 228.0* Live chat is wack no viewers and bots be bugging out banning ### 1/5 — So many sugar daddies to choose from *2026-06-16, version 227.1* All trash. No real people, or if they’re real, they’re just creepy. ### 1/5 — WhT *2026-06-15, version 227.1* I installed now its not work when I reach to photo then no next so fix this issues ### 1/5 — The app is broken as hell *2026-06-11, version 227.1* I send messages that just end up disappearing, maybe 1 in 10 messages go through. Please sort it out. Very frustrating considering I’m paying you for premium AND you get notifications for everything’s EXCEPT new icebreakers?? SO DUMB ### 1/5 — Dying company *2026-06-09, version 227.1* The company is failing so much they had to merge users with Tagged. The only thing that willl save meetme and skout is if they pay streamers 5% more than they were originally being paid to make them return from streaming on other platforms such as kik and TikTok. To recover their viewers/gifters they need to unban all deleted accounts and allow free speach except for violence and nudity. Doing this is the only way this company has an opportunity to recover because it took itself too seriously during covid and became too woke. I still see people being banned for no reason it’s ridiculous. This is an app for adults that are t allowed to behave like adults. A change is desperately needed. ### 1/5 — Threating me with court order and biometric identification *2026-06-08, version 226.1* It is unacceptable ### 1/5 — Not real profiles *2026-06-07, version 226.1* You definitely need to be careful. There are some people who would just lie about their age or just wanna hook up for sex. ### 1/5 — Misjudged *2026-06-06, version 226.1* Wrongly accused ### 1/5 — This app rips people off *2026-06-05, version 226.1* I have been a member for a while now and I have auto renewal turned on with Apple Pay and they decided to rip me off and they won’t even give me my money back I guess I will just go contact Apple and tell them what this app did and see what they will do to this app and see if apple will give me my money back since SKOUT won’t 😡😡😡😡 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Full of drug addicts and drug dealers *2026-08-27, version 233.0* This app is rife with drug addicts and drug dealers , reported it to skout directly and they dont care they expect us to do their work and report them NOT MY JOB . ### 1/5 — Fake people *2026-08-19* Not good using **Developer response:** We understand that receiving a message from a profile that doesn't appear to be a real person can be frustrating. When you report spam we take action and track patterns that help us prevent more abuse in the future. If you reported a profile and it's active after 24 hour, send an email to support@skout.com so we can investigate further. ### 1/5 — Wrongful account deletion *2026-08-14, version 231.0* Deleted my account for doing nothing wrong ### 1/5 — Battery consumption *2026-08-12, version 231.0* I would like Skout to take this into consideration and update the app where it doesn’t consume so much of battery life it’s ridiculous it takes about 2 hours for it to consume 80-100% of battery please do that as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — TheMeetGroup took a risk and failed *2026-07-31, version 231.0* It is the risk that a company spends real money fixing something its customers never thought was broken, then spends the next few years paying for it. This is exactly what happened ever since they started implementing the new interfaces in late 2024. These apps were so alive, now it’s just a bunch of offline profiles. ### 1/5 — Unstable *2026-07-22, version 230.1* I have been affiliated with this platform and it’s affiliates for years. The app causes your phone to overheat, the app itself crashes, and the app features bug out consistently. They “fix” the issues like playing whack a mole. They poorly fix an issue and another one pops up. Go to TikTok or bigo, don’t come here. ### 1/5 — I’m new *2026-07-20, version 230.1* Got 9 years behind my belt with streaming hope I enjoy it and get established ### 1/5 — Not the best app *2026-07-16, version 230.0* Over the past few years I’ve been on here. The app has gotten worse. Lots of glitches. People allowed to continue illegal activities. No support system unless your vip. Even while being a VIP their support is trash. ### 1/5 — Hi *2026-07-11* The new update of skout is terrible near by function is not good at all ### 1/5 — tons of scammers *2026-07-10, version 229.1* tons of scammers and old profiles ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good dating app *2026-06-11, version 227.1* Nice place to meet loving people ### 5/5 — ก็ดีนะพบปะผู้คนเยอะ *2026-06-07, version 226.1* หาง่ายดี ### 5/5 — Bien *2026-05-21, version 226.0* Veo que avanzan ### 5/5 — SKOUT *2026-03-12, version 221.0* Well organized ### 5/5 — Love *2026-03-07, version 220.1* The app it’s cool ### 5/5 — ดีมาก *2026-02-25, version 219.0* ดีมาก ### 5/5 — Skout *2026-02-15, version 219.0* Absolutely amazing ### 5/5 — Skout *2026-02-04, version 218.0* Görüntülü görüşme yapamıyorum ve bu bir türlü düzelmiyor lütfen bunu düzeltin b ### 5/5 — Lhemon *2026-02-03, version 218.0* Lhemon ### 5/5 — İyi tezgah Girerseniz çıkamazsınız *2026-02-02, version 218.0* Profilimi silmek istiyorum e posta gelmiyor fotoğraflarımı silemiyorum kurtulamıyorum uygulamadan --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
