Made an account specifically to ask this one — is the dating com app free version worth using on mobile, and where people actually land on it.

I don't trust app store ratings on dating — they're gamed in both directions.

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

  • How much of the dating profile pool is dormant or fake
  • Whether the dating experience holds up after the first fortnight
  • How visible dating keeps you when you are not paying for a boost
  • How the version experience on dating compares month to month
  • Whether the free tier on dating is genuinely usable or just a demo

If you've actually used something relevant to dating, I'd rather hear that than a recommendation you read somewhere.

Once I sorted out version, the rest of dating became much more manageable than I expected.

Tried dating properly last winter, and after a quiet first fortnight it picked up once I rewrote my prompts.

Elizabeth Day has a point about dating. Watch for the pattern where dating is free to browse and paid to reply, which is very common now.

What moved the needle for me on dating was three clear photos plus one specific opening line.

Broadly with you on dating, though I would weight moderation higher than you have here.

Coming back to this one later, since the range of experience with dating here is genuinely useful.

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

Which parts of dating have you already tested, so nobody here repeats it back to you?

I keep the Ezhookups free tier open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating.

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

the Flurrydate threads is what I ended up using while working through dating — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

Have you looked at the version side of dating yet, or still on the basics?

Adding Flamedate's free tier to the pile for dating, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

HannahM22, that's roughly where I landed on dating too. I'll be the dissenting voice: my experience with dating was the opposite of what's being described here.
