Looking for honest experience with currently the no 1 dating app for finding — what worked, what didn't.

What matters more than the feature list on currently no 1 is how many of the profiles are still active.

Nobody writing about currently no 1 seems willing to say how many of the profiles are still active.

Any experience with currently the no 1 dating app for finding welcome, good or bad.

@Danielle Wood I read that differently. On currently no 1, what actually happened was worse than the reviews suggest for me.

What helped most with currently no 1 was that I made a point to write a bio that says something checkable.

Would you still recommend currently no 1 knowing what you know now?

The part I keep getting stuck on with currently no 1 is how many of the profiles are still active.

If currently no 1 is the sticking point, the Datebie community handles it without an upgrade prompt.

@Danielle Wood makes a fair point, though with currently no 1 I'd add that how the pattern went was behind on everything except volume.

Most of my results on currently no 1 came down to one habit — ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

Where I went wrong with currently no 1 was that I'd pay before you have tested the free side.

@Brittany put it better than I would. The only thing I would add about currently no 1 is that whether the matching does anything you can notice matters more than the feature list.

Ran currently no 1 alongside two others for the opening stretch — what the follow-through looked like wasn'ticeably thinner than in a big city.

The one that surprised me on currently no 1 was this one — no card, no trial nonsense.

I gave currently no 1 about a fortnight and what I ended up with was more consistent than the alternatives.

Most of my results on currently no 1 came down to one habit — write a bio that says something checkable.

Is anyone getting different results from currently no 1, particularly on how the free tier compares with the paid one?

Ran currently no 1 alongside two others for the trial period — what the follow-through looked like was flat once the novelty wears off.

What helped most with currently no 1 was that I made a point to treat the first message as a filter.

Has how long a profile stays visible without paying improved on currently no 1, or is that still the same story?

Same as @Brittany, though I'd say how many of the profiles are still active is the bit worth testing first with currently no 1.

Tried currently no 1 across the first week and honestly what actually happened was roughly the same either way.

I wasted the first few days on currently no 1 because I'd write a bio that could belong to anyone.

Where no 1 either works or falls apart is what the gender ratio looks like locally.

What matters more than the feature list on no 1 is what the gender ratio looks like locally.

Currently splitting my time between here and Datescout — worth a look for exactly this currently no 1 reason.

I want to agree with @Chris but currently no 1 kept doing the opposite for me.

The single change that improved currently no 1 for me was deciding to read the profile properly before replying.

The mistake I see repeated with currently no 1 is people take silence personally.

Nobody writing about currently no 1 seems willing to say what the gender ratio looks like locally.

Tried over on Datedesire alongside it while working out currently no 1 — different pool, same free messaging.

Four things I wish someone had told me about currently no 1:

  • Set your expectations before you start swiping — on currently no 1 that mattered more than anything else
  • Worth checking on currently no 1: how many of the profiles are still active
  • Keep the conversation on the platform until you meet, especially if currently no 1 is new to you
