What are the most common dating apps used by people in their 30s?

Would appreciate honest takes on dating apps — including from anyone who thinks it's the wrong question.

Nobody writing about dating apps seems willing to say plainly when something isn't worth the time.

So far I've tried the obvious route with dating apps and got nowhere useful, and common is where I would start looking.

Concretely, for dating apps, these are my criteria:

• Whether dating apps is honest about common up front
• Whether common makes any material difference to dating apps
• Whether anyone has tested common properly on dating apps
• How the common experience on dating apps compares month to month

Particularly interested in the common side of dating apps if anyone has been there.

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

The common element is where people get stung with dating apps, so check it before anything else.

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

There is a version of dating apps that is about features and a version that is about people, and they give very different answers.

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

Someone recommended the Turndate forums to me during my own search around dating apps and it was better than I expected.

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

Datingfly's free tier is what I ended up using while working through dating apps — not perfect, but the free tier is real.
