How does Freakit work?

As mentioned on his Instagram account, to use Freakit, the user must take a personality test that is made up of four questions. As a result of these four questions, it will be known which anime character you look like, which will be shown to other users when you start swiping.

If the taste is reciprocal, the app will display the phrase ‘It’s a UwU’which will be a signal for both parties to start chatting.
