8. Skout
We know that Skout is considered as a dating app, but there are few things about it why we think it should be on our list of 16 apps for meeting cool people and making friends near me. It has a 100 million users all over the world and some neat features like Shake to Chat. It’s like rolling the friendship dice. After you shake your smartphone, the app will randomly connect you with someone who did the same thing and give you an opportunity to chat. It can be someone from your neighborhood or someone on the other side of the planet.
