Good For 300 bucks (I got it during black friday), I got exactly what I wanted - a script that I can play around with and start a site. Also, I managed to setup everything within the first month of free support, so I don't know if support changes ones the free one runs out. But yeah, they installed it for me and helped with some of the options. If I had to take a jab at this soft, it'd be complex admin panel, but with this amount of options I choose to ignore most of it and work with the stuff I need, which you learn after first few tries.

Don't use Skadate Don't use Skadate. I had been using Skadate for 8 years until the beginning of this year when I moved because they nearly destroyed my business. I had used their software quite happily until they decided to change it and my old platform would no longer be supported. The migration was terrible. It started in March last year. They took 3 week instead of the few days I was quoted. My site was down for 3 weeks! Then once it was back up it was so slow, my members couldn't get on, just buffering. A dating site that you can't log onto because it timesout ALL the time. They insisted it was our server, which it wasn't. When we gave them access to our server, they finally conceded it was their software. A plugin was supposed to be the problem and was "fixed" but it made no difference. This (December last year) was when they decided to stop answering my emails and texts (yes it was so bad I had the direct number of one of the support staff in the Kyrgyz Republic). Luckily in September I had already started looking around for an alternative platform and moved in January this year. I'm now with a fantastic company with support that is second to none. I've been working hard to get my customer's trust back and now my turnover is much better than it ever was with Skadate. Look for alternatives to Skadate, they are out there.

Tried them all - Skadate is the best I have tried them all. These are all simple pieces of software in case you don't happen to have $100,000 to develop your own dating site. I can say that Skadate is the most professional company in terms of support and the product is definitely the best among its class. I've started a site for my town and it keeps signing up users after some basic SEO.

Decidedly best I tried nearly all products in this space for my dating app business. Should have gone with SkaDate from the beginning. Solid code, great support, excellent services. That's what I call investment. Thumbs up!

Dating software with a lot of gaps For some inconceivable reason skadate really likes to upset their customers. It takes about 1 or 2 months to get your head around the admin side of the software. Once the site is up and running with active users you will start noticing a lot of unfinished or half-baked features that the users will complain about. Try talking to support about these issues and they will promise to fix it in the next release, but the fix never happens. Some people have been waiting for 3-4 years for things that a developer could patch in an hour. As it stands here are some pending issues that are on their to do list that we called out Have a read and make your purchase decision wisely. 1. Support for multilingual emails. Right now the only messages that get sent out in the language of the user are the registration confirmation emails. All other emails are in the default site language. 2. Matchmaking algorithm does not take into account the "Match Age" criteria that the user specifies during sign up. Why is the match age field there if it plays no role in matchmaking? 3. Language packs offered by skadate are poorly translated. The quality of translation is similar to that of Google translate. 4. Notification emails for Winks arrive whilst user's session is active. This results in high volume of unsubscribes. Wink emails should instead be included in the digest email similar to other notifications.
