What are the best sex apps that aren't just scams?

Trying to settle an argument with a friend about sex apps, so I'm bringing it here.

Nothing I can find on sex apps addresses scams in any depth.

I've already worked through the first page of results on sex apps, which is why I'm asking here.

Setting scams aside for a second, this is what I need from sex apps:

• Whether sex apps has real users outside the big metros
• How the scams experience on sex apps compares month to month
• How sex apps handles scams compared with the bigger names
• How sex apps handles blocking, privacy and who can see your profile
• What moderation on sex apps actually looks like when you report someone

Particularly interested in the scams side of sex apps if anyone has been there.

Same read from me. Everything I've learned about sex apps points back to local density.

Since we're comparing options around sex apps, the Flamedate threads came up when I was looking at the same thing.

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

Not affiliated with anyone, but the Flurrydate boards solved the messaging-paywall part of sex apps for me last year.

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

the Datedesire forums is what I ended up using while working through sex apps — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

You've put your finger on the thing nobody says out loud about sex apps.

To build on WayneT's answer about sex apps: Bookmarking this, because threads like it on sex apps are more use than any ranked list.

If sex apps is the question, Datebie is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

This tracks. Once scams enters the picture, sex apps stops being a simple comparison.

For completeness, Luvdate.online sits in the same category for sex apps.
