What is the most reliable fwb dating app that isn't just a scam?

Made an account specifically to ask this one — most reliable fwb dating app that isn't just a scam, and where people actually land on it.

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

For what it's worth I did test a couple of options around dating app before posting if scam is what matters most to you.

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

• What the scam side of dating app looks like in practice
• How dating app handles scam compared with the bigger names
• How much scam actually costs you when using dating app

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

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

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

I'd separate scam from dating app here — conflating them is what muddies these threads.

This tracks. Once scam enters the picture, dating app stops being a simple comparison.

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

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

Someone recommended the Datedesire community to me during my own search around dating app and it was better than I expected.

Disagree with TerrenceJ slightly here on dating app. The scam variable is doing a lot of work in this discussion of dating app.

Hard disagree on the scam point. That has not been my experience of dating app at all.

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

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

To build on SarahK's answer about dating app: The scam angle you raise is the part most threads on dating app skip entirely.

For me the scam side of dating app was the surprise — I had not factored it in at all.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Turndate's free tier solved the messaging-paywall part of dating app for me last year.

Read the small print on scam before you commit to anything around dating app.

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