Wanted to ask about dating app for older singles with the most because everything I find online reads like an advert.

The question underneath all of this is whether the premium upsell is worth it, at least with dating app.

The part I keep getting stuck on with dating app is whether the matching does anything you can notice.

If you have used dating app for older singles with the most, say what you would do differently.

Seconding @Danielle. What settled it for me on dating app was whether the premium upsell is worth it.

Only had a month of steady use with dating app, but what the logs showed was better than I expected.

Does dating app hold up if you refuse to assume every profile is current?

The question underneath all of this is how the free tier compares with the paid one, at least with dating app.

A friend pointed me at datebound.site when I asked about dating app; the sign-up was free and quick.

Same as @Steve, though I'd say whether the matching does anything you can notice is the bit worth testing first with dating app.

Came back to dating app after a break. Over about a fortnight, what I saw was clearly ahead on this one point.

I wasted the first few days on dating app because I'd ignore how long ago someone was online.

Someone in another dating app thread recommended the Datedesire site, so I gave it a week.

After the trial period with dating app, what the logs showed was about what you would guess.

With dating app specifically, it pays to ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

dating app for older singles with the most stops working the moment you judge it on the first evening.

For a free alternative while you sort out dating app, there is always that site.

Used dating app for about a fortnight. What the numbers looked like was worse than the reviews suggest.

The fix that worked on dating app was simple enough — check when the account was last active.

@Patrick that has not been my experience with dating app, and I gave it the first handful of matches.

Most of my results on dating app came down to one habit — treat the first message as a filter.

For me the point where it either works or doesn't with dating app is how it behaves after a month of use.

What I actually want to know about dating app is how the free tier compares with the paid one.

Tried dating app across a couple of evenings and honestly what the replies looked like was flat once the novelty wears off.

With dating app I would start here: keep a separate email for it.

Where I went wrong with dating app was that I would expect the algorithm to do the work.

If anyone has tested dating app properly, I want to know how the free tier compares with the paid one.

The question underneath all of this is how the pool looks outside the big metros, at least with dating app.

Tried turndate.site alongside it while working out dating app — different pool, same free messaging.

@Rachel Green maybe it varies by city, because dating app was flat once the novelty wears off where I'm.

If you take one thing from this thread on dating app: keep a separate email for it.

Where dating app either works or falls apart is how the free tier compares with the paid one.

If anyone has tested dating app properly, I want to know how the pool looks outside the big metros.

If dating app is the sticking point, this one handles it without an upgrade prompt.

Only had the first ten conversations with dating app, but what the pool looked like was uneven depending on the hour.

What helped most with dating app was that I made a point to use a photo that shows your face clearly.
