@valerie.martin put it better than I would. The only thing I would add about dating app is that how it behaves after a month of use matters more than the feature list.
Tried dating app across the first month and honestly how it played out was behind on everything except volume.
Nobody writing about dating app seems willing to say how far you have to search to find matches.
If anyone has tested dating app properly, I want to know what the tone is like inside the community.
If anyone has tested dating app properly, I want to know how the niche is treated by the mainstream apps.
For me the point where it either works or doesn't with dating app is what the profiles look like compared with general apps.
What I would check before committing to dating app:
- If dating app is your only option, at least treat the first message as a filter
- The failure mode with dating app is when you pay before you have tested the free side
- The detail that took longest to learn on dating app turned out to be behind on everything except volume
