Try to make lingo a bit simpler, I think most people won't get through all the complicated explanations:

> Catching up with Facebook friends has never been this easy or straight forward before.

This does not mean anything to me, does not deserve main spot.

> Download the app to see what all the fuss is about

Maybe go with "Download the app and start meeting friends for real", emphasize what is it actually about.

> Life's too short to sit around at home

This should be at the top of the page

> Skuuddle helps you be the most socially proactive version of yourself.

I can imagine people with blank expressions when they read this. I would re-word that to "Go out and meet people, a lot", ok, maybe not that simple, but you get what I mean.

> Skuuddle helps you turn your acquaintances into friends.

"Skuuddle helps you turn your virtual friends into real ones."

And so on.

It's like tinder minus the fucking, got it.

Maybe that should be their tag line.

> Catching up with Facebook friends has never been this easy or straight forward before.

It already is easy and straightforward, you can do it right on Facebook itself!

How many of us actually catch up with our facebook friends who are not already part of our friend circle? Yet, your facebook friends list is already packed with people who you know (some well. some not so well). So it's a great place to start to expand your social circle and do stuff with people outside your usual groups of friends. The point of the app is to get people to meet up face to face, and your phonebook/facebook contacts are a good place to start, right?
That's really helpful feedback. We're going to rework the content on the website and make it simpler, more straightforward. Cheers.
