HOW DOES SKIP WORK?
Step 1: Set custom deal breakers
Step 2: Find someone you like on the app, or hand out a Skip Date Card in person
Step 3: They like your profile back and you match
Step 4: They must pass your deal breakers at 100%
Step 5: They complete and pass a background check*
Step 6: They propose a date
Step 7: You confirm a time and location or suggest a new one
Step 8: Go on the date
Step 9: Leave anonymous reviews
BACKGROUND CHECKS*
- Require a match to complete a background check before meeting.
- Results valid for 12 months, no need to repeat for every date.
- Users who complete a check receives a profile badge.
Skip partners with Checkr to offer background checks. These checks require SSN verification, helping reduce fraud risk compared with name-only screening. Screening may include, where available:
Sex offender registry
- Searches registries from all 50 states, Washington DC, and US territories.
Global watchlist search
- Searches a comprehensive network of domestic and international government watchlists for criminal history.
National criminal search
- Searches county records that queries up to 900 million public records.

*NOTE ON BACKGROUND CHECK REQUIREMENTS
- Availability depends on match type and user settings.
- For eligible users, the background check requirement setting is enabled by default, but can be turned on or off.
- Background checks help reduce risk but do not verify identity or guarantee safety.
- Who can require a background check depends on match type and the user’s selected experience. In women seeking men matches, women may require men to complete a background check before proposing a date, men cannot require a background check from women in this match type. In other match types, the ability to require a match to complete a background check is available only to users who choose the “screen others” experience.
*SKIPS DEFINITIONS: “Ghosting” means a user stops replying in chat, leaving the other person without clarity on whether things are continuing. “Bots” means automated chat messages not sent by a real person. “Unsolicited pics or D*ck pics” means photos sent in chat without consent, often inappropriate. Skip does not offer in-app chat, so these issues do not occur within Skip.
Update: Children question was updated with more options. Also fixed type of relationship wanted. Still open is Marital status being missing. I raised my review one star, since I have not been able fully use the app yet- there is no one nearby to match with. Thanks! ********* Original review: The type of relationship wanted and children questions have some big holes. Not everyone wants marriage or casual combined with long term. All three should be separate or allow multiple choices. “have kids - don’t want more” should be written as “have kids, would welcome partners children” or additional children be a separate question that allows for single parent reality. Also, no marital status field. I will want to know if someone if never married, separated, divorced or widowed.

Uses iPhone camera when it shouldn’t

So far I haven’t used this app enough to get a sense of it. But a word of caution — notice that green dot at the top of your screen? This app uses your iPhone camera while you’re scrolling. It’s literally spying on you. Easy way to turn it off is to head to Settings and turn off camera access after you do the profile verification.
Developer Response
Hi, thanks for sharing your feedback. Just to clarify, Skip does not use or access your camera while you’re scrolling. The green dot you noticed only appears during the one-time profile verification step when you choose to confirm your identity with a selfie. We take privacy and safety very seriously and want to reassure you that Skip does not spy on users while they scroll with their camera. Best regards,The Skip Team
Not thought out too well

First off, whoever designed theUI/UX for this app, should be fired. In an attempt to [what I can only imagine is] to be different than other apps, Skip has hit multiple blunders.Whereas EVERY other app is designed in a way that when you swipe up to view more information about someone you’re potentially interested in, Skip says “no, let’s make that action pass on someone” lol. Why?Secondly, a HUGE part of connecting on dating apps is chatting and making sure your potential date is not a RAGING LUNATIC first before meeting then in person. Skip has forgot an important step in establishing compatibility in an attempt to sidestep…ghosting? The whole premise is “can’t get ghosted if you never chat”. It’s silly.
Disappointed on launch day.

I personally loved the idea, For many reasons… but the wait for it to launch was disappointing. It’s possible it’s early on, but there seems to be many older women on there. Almost like ex moms. Nothing wrong with that, but it just shows there are not many users yet. The whole no swiping is fine, but scrolling down is the same thing imo. The bad thing about launching and it just being mediocre after all the hype will show a lot of ppl abandon the app. I’ll give it a month and see how things progress. But whoever made the business decision to launch before gaining lots of users messed up, imo. What is the parent about ? That was overhyped too
