This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

After I got banned for no reason or explaining on the chat app Skout. I decide to look at the app permission and I found that skout breaking the privacy in extremely way.
skout app reading SMS and Kmart. Reading phone calls and stats / identity. Reading thee see accounts. reading devices imei.
Some one must stop this app and prevent breaking the privacy and fooling people under chat name. Why would a chat application. Read my calls or read my mms? Reading accounts and break privacy. It can record everything on your phone even all your passwords. imei number of your device. Stop fooling people with this app under any readjustment. Hope some one busted them soon after brewing the privacy of million of devices till now

I wish this app would warn you or tell you what you did wrong and give you a chance. They literally blocked me for no reason didn't tell me why and it's like I'm banned for life it's complete and utter [censored]! I had diamonds and Friends and now they're all gone thanks a lot.

I got blocked for no reason. I don’t even know what I did wrong. I tried to get on one day and it said I was blocked for breaking the terms and services.

As someone who was instantly deleted from meet me first. Reason being, I was speaking to a gentleman who was telling me he never meets anyone because they are all prostitutes. I replied and said I wouldn’t know because I don’t ever talk to any girls. I simply asked him, “they literally ask for money for sex?” He said no they say right before meeting that they need money for their time. I was INSTANTLY booted. I emailed corporate immediately. I tried to explain what happened and knowing they have software that flags certain words, also that I am a well known stylist/ makeup artist in Orlando for over 20 yrs.., They weren’t interested. I’ve been on meet me for probably 4 years. I find if highly irresponsible to delete someone’s complete social circle during a pandemic where if you are on the app you are most likely single, which means you are probably home alone. For some people this could be absolutely devastating. I wish they cared about the people who use their app. They need a better system. Oh and by the way, less than a week later I was in the middle of a conversation on their sister company SKOUT and they deleted me the same way but this time they cut me off the app and said I need to change my password!?! Never in my whole life have I ever had a dating app do this. I had already “ certified” my pic. So it asked me to do this again, certify my pic. No problem what do I care. Talk about shady. I kept getting an error message followed by an email stating that I wasn’t the same
Person... lol... I’m the kind of person to move on from things and I feel like this app is a lot of catfishes and bots etc. I would never beg for anything from
a dumb app. With no clear systems to
to protect their members. What if I was getting to know someone I really liked. I don’t need someone with a power trip and a major chip having any control over these issues. Ok Cupid has been interesting and I always like
Good old POF... Please if you get booted, have some dignity and don’t beg for anything. Also when You see people leaving messages here a lot are deleted
And if you see a message like “customer has been contacted and reinstated”, it’s a lie. They don’t care. My friend had that next to her complaint and
It was Absolutely not true.. Good Luck...

Well I liked the site, minus the guys messaging nasty things. I reported them and skout blocked me for violating their terms...so it's ok for men to harass me because of my preferences? I did not violate any terms I just defended myself. I never went to anyone's profile harassing them, they came to my page as if they were entitled to me. Smh Skout needs to do better with protecting their users from this type of behaviors.

I don't know what happened everything is going good and just one day everything fell off the face of the Earth I got a bunch of negative complaints and comments and rumors coming to me from people over something they don't know nothing about their own business these people walking around these place and save all kinds of obtrusive things diminishes customer face clientele and love with personal business if business is strong enough to survive that it will never lose. How's this business going to go about all the hardship it's customer has went through cuz it's been pretty frustrating dealing with everybody else's [censored] and not being contacted or seen for the support from this business but I still love this business I just want to know when are you going to take care of this
