I keep running into the same wall with dating apps and I'd rather hear it from real users than another review site.

Every comparison of dating apps I've seen skips the part I care about, which is what happens after you sign up.

Practically speaking, for dating apps I want to know:

  • Whether dating apps is honest about metropolitan up front
  • Whether metropolitan is worth prioritising over everything else in dating apps
  • How dating apps handles metropolitan compared with the bigger names

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

Since we're comparing options around dating apps, the Datebie free tier came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Read the small print on metropolitan before you commit to anything around dating apps.

Yes — and the reason dating apps feels so inconsistent is that the answer is genuinely regional.

The metropolitan disagreement in this thread says more about dating apps than any single answer.

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

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

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

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

I keep Datewander open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating apps.

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