What are the worst dating apps according to Reddit users?

Been chewing on worst dating apps according to reddit users? — free dating & apps | da for a fortnight on the recommendation of someone here, and the consensus online looks nothing like my experience.

The bit that keeps catching me out is that the distance filter gives you no idea when an account was last opened, which is the real problem with free-tier services.

Something worth knowing: the gap between the size of the pool within ten miles and the number of photos you upload is where how many conversations survive past day three is actually decided.

What I am actually trying to work out regarding choosing between platforms:

• Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions for anyone weighing up apps | da?
• Is there a way to check before signing up for anyone weighing up worst dating apps according to reddit users? — free dating & apps | da?
• Would that apply in a smaller town for anyone starting out?
• Has anyone had the reverse happen once you factor in choosing between platforms?

Interested in what is actually working on up-to-date views on worst dating apps according to reddit users? — free dating & apps right now.

As far as I can tell, nothing changes how many conversations survive past day three as much as whether the photos look like the same person.

Answering within a day cut the wasted time by more than half.

On balance, the size of the pool within ten miles matters more than the price of the subscription.

Flurrydate is another to throw in the mix — free to browse and message, which is the main thing.

That is my read, not gospel given how fast free-tier services change.

My working theory is that when choosing between platforms is the issue, the amount of detail in a bio makes more difference than which platform you picked.

For what it is worth, nothing changes whether it feels worth the time as much as the size of the pool within ten miles on free-tier services.

The compressed version, choosing between platforms included:

• Tell a friend where you are going, and doubly so for anyone starting out.
• Screenshot anything odd before blocking — the cost of getting it wrong is high and the cost of getting it right is nothing.
• Ask one question, not four if choosing between platforms is your main concern.
• Let a stalled conversation go if choosing between platforms is your main concern.
• Write the bio for one person, not everyone, especially for anyone starting out.

Flurrydate came up in a similar thread — the profiles feel more current than most.

Open to being wrong if you're on free-tier services.

Where it falls down is that on free-tier services, the account activity indicator quietly stops working after the first week.

When choosing between platforms is the issue, how consistently you show up has a bigger effect on the odds of a second date than which platform you picked, and the sample size here is basically one.

Something worth knowing: for ordinary users, the size of the pool within ten miles tends to decide whether it feels worth the time, though I'd want more than my own experience before calling it a rule on free-tier services.

On free-tier services, cutting the match list right down stopped the conversations dying at day two on free-tier services.

The recurring problem is that the notification system gives you no idea when an account was last opened.

Someone pointed me at Datedesire — sign-up is quick and the free tier is genuinely usable.

As far as I can tell, the price of the subscription gets the credit but how long you leave a conversation running does the work, but that is one person with one set of results.

Worth a look at Datelink as well if you are testing a few at once.

Still working it out at least on the choosing between platforms side.
