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

The reviews I can find on dating app never say what the free tier actually lets you do.

My own attempt at dating app lasted a month and ended with me deleting three apps.

Where bako is concerned, these are the dating app questions I have:

  • How dating app handles blocking, privacy and who can see your profile
  • How dating app handles bako compared with the bigger names
  • Whether bako is worth prioritising over everything else in dating app
  • How quickly dating app puts a paywall in front of a conversation that has started
  • Whether dating app has real users outside the big metros

Particularly interested in the bako side of dating app if anyone has been there.

For me the bako side of dating app was the surprise — I had not factored it in at all.

Since we're comparing options around dating app, Datebie's free tier came up when I was looking at the same thing.

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

One caution on dating app — check what happens to your visibility the moment you stop paying.

Adding the Flamedate threads to the pile for dating app, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

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

Just flagging that some results you will find for dating app are review farms rather than reviews.

Aubrey Clark has a point about dating app. The bako variable is doing a lot of work in this discussion of dating app.

Going to push back a little, because I do not think dating app is about the size of the pool at all.

Test bako first, because it tells you more about dating app than any feature comparison will.

Both things can be true about dating app: genuinely free, and still not worth your evening.

Someone recommended Datingfly.online to me during my own search around dating app and it was better than I expected.

The bako disagreement in this thread says more about dating app than any single answer.
