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.

Ratings and reviews

I can't find the deal-breakers. The photos zoom and crop too much. No option to contact technical support on the app. If you are going to match without messaging you need much more than just six interests and at least 500 characters for the profile prompts. Should be more than four profile prompts. I'm not going to meet with someone because we both like movies and the beach

1/9/2024: Really looked forward to using this app! I like the concept but won't let me log in with my number. I click "next" and nothing happens. I uninstalled and installed the app a few times and still doesn't work for me. Update (1/11/2024): I reached out to customer service and was able to get the app working. Scott, was very helpful! Giving 3 stars for now since the profiles have r launched yet. Looking forward to seeing how this app works!

If you like a profile you swipe left to view more. If you don't like it, you swipe up to reject; unless you've first swiped left, in which case by swiping up you'll view the full profile. The problem? The up swipe/scroll is not a 1-to-1 function: it does different things depending on whether you've swiped left first. In a digital world where swiping left has become synonym of rejection, and scrolling up/down is constantly done w/ news and social media, Skip comes as highly counterintuitive.
