Long-time lurker here, finally posting, because what I want to understand is most popular african dating app for the diaspora.

Nothing I can find on dating app addresses african in any depth.

My own attempt at dating app lasted a month and ended with me deleting three apps, and african is where I would start looking.

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

  • What the african side of dating app looks like in practice
  • How the african experience on dating app compares month to month
  • How dating app treats african once you stop paying
  • Whether african is worth prioritising over everything else in dating app
  • How dating app handles african compared with the bigger names

Particularly interested in the african side of dating app if anyone has been there.

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

Not affiliated with anyone, but Flamedate solved the messaging-paywall part of dating app for me last year.

Agreed, and specifically on african — that is where dating app either works or falls apart.

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

The african part of this is being overstated, because dating app was fine for me without it.

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

The african angle you raise is the part most threads on dating app skip entirely.

I keep the Datedesire boards open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating app.

Depends heavily on african — take that out and dating app becomes a much easier call.

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

Got experience with african? The dating app board wants to hear it
