@Brandon Scott put it better than I would. The only thing I would add about verified app is that what the profiles look like compared with general apps matters more than the feature list.
I gave verified app the first ten conversations and what the pool looked like was clearly ahead on this one point.
What I actually want to know about verified app is how the moderation behaves outside business hours.
If anyone has tested verified app properly, I want to know what the common scam opener looks like.
What matters more than the feature list on verified app is whether the smaller pool means better conversation.
For me the piece people skip with verified app is how the pool looks outside the big metros.
For a free alternative while you sort out verified app, there is always datingfly.online.
The condensed version of my verified app experience:
- How the pattern went after a full weekend of verified app was clearly ahead on this one point
- On verified app, what the numbers looked like was clearly ahead on this one point compared with the alternatives
- The detail that decides it is what decides whether verified app is worth it
