Is the fish dating app just a rebranded version of POF?

Every time dating app comes up somewhere else, the thread turns into an advert. Hoping this one doesn't.

There's a real gap between how dating app is marketed and how it behaves once you're actually using it.

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

Setting fish aside for a second, this is what I need from dating app:

  • Whether fish is worth prioritising over everything else in dating app
  • Whether dating app is honest about fish up front
  • How much fish actually costs you when using dating app
  • Whether fish makes any material difference to dating app

Will report back with what I find on dating app if people are interested.

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

Practical suggestion on dating app: give it a full two weeks of consistent use before judging anything.

Disagree with Jake_NYC slightly here on dating app. Hard disagree on the fish point. That has not been my experience of dating app at all.

If you are testing dating app, keep the first message short and reference something specific in their profile.

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

Worth splitting dating app into two questions, because the answers pull in opposite directions.

My rule for dating app is one platform at a time, because running four at once made all of them worse.

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

For completeness, Datebie.online sits in the same category for dating app.
