Would rather hear it from people who use it: currently the most active dating app.

What I actually want to know about currently most active is how the pool looks outside the big metros.

Where currently most active either works or falls apart is whether the swipe volume translates into conversation.

Happy to be told I am asking the wrong question about currently the most active dating app.

@Amanda Brooks I read that differently. On currently most active, what the pool looked like was better than I expected for me.

Before writing currently most active off, try this: give it a full week before judging it.

Nobody writing about currently most active seems willing to say whether the matching does anything you can notice.

What matters more than the feature list on currently most active is whether the matching does anything you can notice.

the free Datebound option came up a lot when I was researching currently most active, and it held up better than expected.

Same as @Daniel, though I would say whether the swipe volume translates into conversation is the bit worth testing first with currently most active.

My experience with currently most active over the trial period: what the logs showed was flat once the novelty wears off.

What matters more than the feature list on currently most active is how the algorithm treats a new account.

Used currently most active for the first few days. What the numbers looked like was stronger at the weekend.

With currently most active I'd start here: give it a full week before judging it.

For me the thing that actually changes the outcome with currently most active is how the algorithm treats a new account.

For me the detail that took longest to learn with most active is how the free tier compares with the paid one.

If anyone has tested most active properly, I want to know what the daily limits feel like in use.

What I would tell a friend starting with currently most active:

  • The thing that separates the good ones on currently most active turned out to be clearly ahead on this one point
  • Worth checking on currently most active: how it behaves after a month of use
  • Do not write a bio that could belong to anyone; with currently most active it costs you a full weekend
  • Give currently most active the first ten conversations before deciding — how it played out was clearly ahead on this one point

@LaurenLee I read that differently. On currently most active, what the pool looked like was about what you would guess for me.

The fix that worked on currently most active was simple enough — set your expectations before you start swiping.

Where I went wrong with currently most active was that I'd judge it on the first evening.

over on Datingfly came up a lot when I was researching currently most active, and it held up better than expected.

@Daniel put it better than I would. The only thing I would add about currently most active is that how the algorithm treats a new account matters more than the feature list.

After the first week with currently most active, how it played out was more consistent than the alternatives.

Where I went wrong with currently most active was that I'd rely on the recommended matches alone.

Ran currently most active alongside two others for the first month — what the numbers looked like was about what you would guess.

After about a fortnight with currently most active, what the numbers looked like was uneven depending on the hour.

If you take one thing from this thread on currently most active: write a bio that says something checkable.

Where I went wrong with currently most active was that I would take silence personally.

Nobody writing about most active seems willing to say whether the swipe volume translates into conversation.

Used currently most active for the first ten conversations. What the pool looked like was better than I expected.

Anyone compared currently most active against the obvious alternative on what the reply rate looks like without photos?

Used currently most active for the opening stretch. What I saw was worse than the reviews suggest.

Before writing currently most active off, try this: treat the first message as a filter.

The trap with currently most active is that it's easy to write a bio that could belong to anyone.

The single change that improved currently most active for me was deciding to set your expectations before you start swiping.

Seconding @Garrett. What settled it for me on currently most active was what the reply rate looks like without photos.

After about a fortnight with currently most active, what the replies looked like was more consistent than the alternatives.

The trap with currently most active is that it's easy to ignore how long ago someone was online.

If currently most active is the sticking point, Souldate dating handles it without an upgrade prompt.
