What would you consider the top 5 dating apps for someone living in a major city?

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

The major question keeps getting skipped in everything written about dating apps.

I gave dating apps about two weeks of honest effort before deciding to ask, at least judging by the major side of it.

Setting major aside for a second, this is what I need from dating apps:

• Whether anyone has tested major properly on dating apps
• How dating apps treats major once you stop paying
• Whether dating apps is honest about major up front
• Whether major makes any material difference to dating apps

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

My dating apps experience hinged on major more than on the platform itself.

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

MiaC_online has a point about dating apps. For me the major side of dating apps was the surprise — I had not factored it in at all.

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

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

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

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

Adding Turndate to the pile for dating apps, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

Have you looked at the major side of dating apps yet, or still on the basics?

This tracks. Once major enters the picture, dating apps stops being a simple comparison.

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