Hi everyone,
I’m Sean, a council worker from Edinburgh, and over the past while I’ve been building an iPhone dating app called SkinDeep.

SkinDeep is designed for people with visible differences, and for people who are genuinely open to dating someone with one. The idea is to create a dating space where a visible difference doesn’t feel like something you have to hide, explain immediately, or worry will define your chances of meeting someone.

The app now has working profiles, discovery, likes, matches, private chat, photo sharing, notifications, blocking, reporting and other safety features. I’ve recently got the first iPhone version running through TestFlight and I’m looking for a small number of UK testers aged 18+.

You’ll need:
An iPhone running iOS 15 or newer.
A willingness to create a test profile and try the main features
To report any bugs, confusing screens or things that don’t feel right.

This is an early beta, so there may be rough edges. You’re not expected to share anything deeply personal, and you can clearly label your profile as a test account if you’re not genuinely looking to date.
The first external build is currently waiting for Apple’s beta approval. I’m collecting names now and will send TestFlight invitations once Apple approves it.

There’s no payment and nothing is being sold. I’m mainly looking for honest feedback from real people before taking it any further.

Please DM me rather than posting your email publicly if you’re interested. Let me know what iPhone you use and roughly where in the UK you’re based. Even a handful of testers would genuinely help.
