"I don't understand why you would use Bluetooth if there's already wifi everywhere. Aside from that, there's not much to do, and not much members around. But I guess the app is promising, just need to improve it a little bit." -Susan, 29

Our field test
★★★★★ 2.5/5
"At first, I was just intrigued on what it is all about. But when I used it, it seemed kind of fun. Although there are a lot of times where I don't see members on my Nearby list. I'm lucky one time to meet one, and even luckier because I am now going out with that person." -Clarence, 32
Design & usability
The app is only available on iOS devices at the moment of testing which limits the members who can join. The design is dark-themed, having a black background, and burgundy-like details. App Store requires devices with iOS 9.0 or later for the latest version to work. It also doesn't have a desktop version.
Cheekd is not very complicated to use. Even new users wouldn't have a hard time navigating it.
Special features
As mentioned, Cheekd is a very simple app that has minimal features. However, this one feature makes it different from other apps out there.
Finding people 1
Bluetooth Technology
This app uses Bluetooth to connect members and notify them when there's a fellow member nearby. Even without the internet, it will work. Although chatting can only be done when you already are connected to wifi or your data services, it still supports the app's motto "Never miss a connection" since you will always get an alert when a member that fits your criteria is withing the 30 feet radius.
Final results
3.0fair
“Cheekd is an upgrade of the traditional business card exchange. However, the app in general still needs a lot to improve. The only special feature is the Bluetooth technology, which sends out a notification if there's a member around the area. As advanced as it may sound, it actually is not very different from the GPS or location services. Finding a member nearby is not very easy as well since the app has a limited number of members. It is still worth a try since you can download it for free and you don't need the internet to make it work. Also, it is not complicated to use. But for easier access to other members, you might want to consider other Dating Apps that we have reviewed.”
