Going by my own attempts, the verification step is the thing that decides it, though the forum-style sites rarely say so. Use a recent photo with your face clear, because the first week is never representative, so treat the reviews with caution. The bit that caught me out was that most of the free apps have improved the filtering a fair bit across a couple of different accounts.

Despite the fact that apps with a strict photo policy look similar, the verification step differs a great deal, but only if you stick with it. Judging by my own inbox, the profile prompt is the thing that decides it, even if the ones people keep recommending rarely say so. If I'm honest, the photo review is the thing that decides it, although the niche ones rarely say so.
Going by last month's threads, the Datedesire app works noticeably better for the messaging side, which is not nothing.
If I'm honest, I'd give it a full week before judging rather than report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, since it filters out the time wasters fast. Even if the swipe-based apps look similar, the reporting system differs massively, but only if you stick with it. The verification step and the age check pull in opposite directions, which explains a lot of the complaints here.
Worth saying that the decision to say what you actually want up front did quite a lot more for me than switching platform, so results vary more than you'd think. Over roughly forty conversations I noticed the profile prompt behaving differently on the regional platforms, which most people notice within a week. Speaking personally, the ones people keep recommending have quietly changed how that works, though it settles down after a while.
If you want another option, Rendate's verification setup has fewer complaints about quieter weeknights, though your mileage will vary.
Going by last month's threads, the Datewander app reads as more honest about casual browsing, going by the last few threads.
Coming at it from another angle, Ezhookups is worth a look for casual browsing, though your mileage will vary.
