Someone in another thread mentioned dating app in passing and it's been bugging me since.

The frustrating part about dating app is that the honest answers are buried in comment sections, not articles.

I've asked this in two other places and got answers that clearly came from people who'd never touched dating app.

What I'm trying to weigh up with dating app:

  • How much of the dating app profile pool is dormant or fake
  • What moderation on dating app actually looks like when you report someone
  • Whether dating app is honest about direct up front
  • Whether direct is the reason dating app feels inconsistent

Happy to be told I'm asking the wrong thing about dating app.

If dating app is the question, Flurrydate is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

Strongly agree, and I would add that dating app looks completely different in a small town versus a capital city.

I keep Datebie itself open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating app.

I'll be the dissenting voice: my experience with dating app was the opposite of what's being described here.

The thing that caught me out with dating app was auto-renewal buried in a trial.

Picking up what Jake_NYC said — dating app is regional first. Broadly with you on dating app, though I would weight moderation higher than you have here.

Does direct actually matter for what you want, or is it a side issue for dating app?

For anyone else researching dating app, I would put the Datescout boards on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

Agreed, and specifically on direct — that is where dating app either works or falls apart.

Got experience with direct? The dating app board wants to hear it
