DateHookup Dating app review: browse tons of singles in your area looking to chat and meet someone

Introduction

If you’re looking to meet or simply chat with singles in your local area then this iPhone and iPad app is well worth checking out, with all of the content and features available completely free of charge and the developer claiming that thousands of new singles are joining every day.

This is basically a standard, C- or B-grade iPad and iPhone dating app that isn’t so different from any of the countless other examples of this kind of development within the Social Networking category of the App Store.

Based on what I’ve seen of the user base so far, I wouldn’t get your hopes up so quickly in terms of finding true love on here, but if you’re looking for a “bit of fun,” or you just want to chat with a few people to get a feel for what kind of characters you can expect, I don’t see any harm in doing so.

Be Sensible, Be Safe

In the interest of full disclosure, I would like to include an excerpt from a review of DateHookup Dating - Free Singles Dating Chat, Online Dating Personals App! that a user has left on the iTunes description page, which reads as follows:

The best iPhone apps for hookups

“Do not waste your time or your safety!!! 70% of profiles on here are fakes, scammers, transvestites, parolees & ex cons posing as women, or pimps promoting prostitutes or soliciting online. You will find profiles of fake women with 1 pic in different areas who coincidentally have only the same 1-2 thug friends who built the profile. For your safety if you choose to use this app use common sense, if its too good to be true it probably is, and protect yourself using these tips; if the applicant avoids direct questioning or proof that they are in fact real move on.”

Always Confirm the Identity of Other Members

Unfortunately, this appears to be quite common throughout the world of online dating. Given the negative feedback I’ve seen, and the apparent integrity of many of the members, I would strongly urge you to exercise caution and common sense.

The best approach when using this kind of app and finding yourself in doubt is to ask the user to provide a photograph of them holding up a piece of paper with your username written on it. That way you can, at the very least, verify their identity.
