Is a prison dating app legitimate or are they mostly scams?

Bit of context before the question: I've been off apps for two years, and now dating app is the thing I can't work out.

What makes dating app hard to judge is that everyone's experience seems to depend heavily on where they live.

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

• How dating app handles prison compared with the bigger names
• How dating app handles blocking, privacy and who can see your profile
• Whether prison makes any material difference to dating app
• How dating app treats prison once you stop paying

Tell me what I'm missing about dating app.

Worth noting that nobody in this thread has agreed on dating app yet, which is itself an answer.

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

How long did you give dating app before deciding it was not working for you?

Respectfully, I think the framing of dating app sets people up to be disappointed.

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

For dating app, log in at a consistent time each evening, because activity windows matter more than people think.

Be careful with dating app: several platforms in this space make deleting your data much harder than creating it.

I'd separate prison from dating app here — conflating them is what muddies these threads.

Since we're comparing options around dating app, Datenest itself came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Datelink's free tier solved the messaging-paywall part of dating app for me last year.
