edit

With over ten million users globally, Skout is the leading location-based mobile application that enables users to instantly connect with one another based upon proximity.

Founded in 2007, the free app became a game-changer in the space by combining revolutionary GPS technology with icebreaker features that allow singles to conveniently flirt, play, party, find a date, or make new friends in real time. Users can quickly search for other users, view profiles, or chat with the tap of a button. With exciting new features constantly being introduced, Skout continually strives to connect people nearby or around the globe.

As the most-reviewed and best-rated app of its kind, Skout values the safety of its users and take user privacy very seriously. Skout never provides users’ exact location or personal information without their permission.

Skout is available on Android and all iOS devices, including iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android tablets.
