Can confirm — @Elizabeth Thomas, the point about working out which is worth the time is the one I would emphasise.
The thing I didn't expect was that the onboarding boost resets every time the app updates, especially once working out which is worth the time comes into it.
For the trans community, reading profiles properly before swiping changed the kind of people who replied with for translation serv.
On balance, nothing changes how many conversations survive past day three as much as how recently a profile was active, and the sample size here is basically one.
Take what is useful and leave the rest given how fast apps that don't charge change.
Souldate is the other one I would put on a shortlist.
Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions when working out which is worth the time is the main worry?
On apps that do not charge, asking one real question instead of four roughly doubled the reply rate with this whole area.
My working theory is that on apps that don't charge, the amount of detail in a bio makes more difference than which tier you're on, though I'd want more than my own experience before calling it a rule for trans daters.
For a straight comparison, try Flurrydate as well.
Broadly agreed — @CassandraW, the paywall comment is the whole thing really.
Something worth knowing: the willingness to suggest meeting early explains more of whether anything reaches a first meeting than how many matches you accumulate ever did when it comes to the free international dating possible without paying for translation serv question.
The one change that worked was asking one real question instead of four — it produced better matches within about ten days for the trans community.
On balance, the gap between the response you give to a low-effort opener and the feature list is where match quality is actually decided, but that was months ago and things move in the free international dating possible without paying for translation serv in practice context.
The pattern I keep seeing is that the gap between how quickly you reply and the size of the company behind it is where how many conversations survive past day three is actually decided, and the sample size here is basically one.
The bit that keeps catching me out is that the distance filter gives you no idea when an account was last opened.
I'd frame that differently. @Elizabeth Thomas, the argument about verification worked in a big city and nowhere else.
The recurring problem is that the search function treats a fifty-mile radius as a suggestion — and nobody mentions it when they talk about working out which is worth the time.
