Texts back before the filter coffee gets cold.
Okay but which coffee spot? Asking for science.

Safety first, vibes second
Everyone here is who they say they are.
Look around as much as you like. Before you show up in anyone’s deck or send a message, you verify. That’s the deal, for everyone.
Live selfie check
A quick liveness check on your phone makes sure the face in the photos is the face holding the phone. Bye-bye, borrowed pics.
Work badge (optional)
Want to show you actually work where you say you do? Verify with LinkedIn or your work email and get a badge. Totally your call.
Why Pookeez
They charge for it.
We don’t.
On most dating apps, the good stuff sits behind a monthly plan. On Pookeez, every feature is free for everyone. No paywall around anything.

Questions? We’ve got the tea.
Is Pookeez really free?
Yes. Chatting, matching, filters, read receipts and incognito are all free. Super likes, boosts and seeing who liked you are free too.
Why make it all free?
Because nobody should have to pay to be seen. Same features for everyone, no matter what’s in your wallet.
What happens to my Aadhaar details?
They go straight to our licensed eKYC partner, who tells us only whether you’re verified. Pookeez never stores your Aadhaar information.
Do I have to verify right away?
Nope. Sign up and explore first. You’ll verify before you appear to others or send a message.
