Same as @Kayla Hughes, though I would say whether the matching does anything you can notice is the bit worth testing first with desktop experience.
My experience with desktop experience over the first month: what actually happened was uneven depending on the hour.
I wasted about a fortnight on desktop experience because I would ignore how long ago someone was online.
The question underneath all of this is whether the matching does anything you can notice, at least with desktop experience.
For me the detail that decides it with desktop experience is how long a profile stays visible without paying.
Where desktop experience either works or falls apart is what the gender ratio looks like locally.
For a free alternative while you sort out desktop experience, there is always datebound.site.
What I would tell a friend starting with desktop experience:
- What the replies looked like after the trial period of desktop experience was better than I expected
- Set your expectations before you start swiping — it is the one habit that moved desktop experience for me
- Keep a separate email for it, especially if desktop experience is new to you
