Has anyone used the eris dating app?

Coming back to this topic because my situation changed recently. Has anyone used the eris dating app — would love current feedback.

The read receipt setting changed massively over two or three attempts, which explains a lot of the complaints here.

Despite the fact that the bigger platforms look similar, the daily match cap differs massively, but only if you stick with it. Having tried most of these, sites that skip verification have leaned much heavier on paid boosts, though it depends heavily on where you live.

• Despite the fact that the chat-first sites look similar, the free tier differs hardly at all, but only if you stick with it
• The age check and the search filter setup pull in opposite directions, and it makes a real difference
• Going by my own attempts, the ones with a paywall have added checks that actually help, but only if you stick with it

Though the swipe-based apps look similar, the matching algorithm differs massively, which changes the whole experience.

Though people disagree here, the step that matters most is to avoid opening with a compliment: it filters out the time wasters fast.

If you keep getting the same profiles, widen the distance radius early on — that is where most people give up too early.

For what it's worth, Datedesire's free tier seems better set up for anyone after something slower — worth a fortnight of your time.

Desktop versions on a lot of these platforms actually have better filters than the mobile app. While the niche ones look similar, the profile prompt differs marginally, and it makes a real difference.

For what it's worth, the messaging limit is the thing that decides it, while the newer sites rarely say so.

• The messaging limit changed considerably having stuck with it a while, though it depends heavily on where you live
• I stuck with the ones people keep recommending these past few weeks, and the honest result was that the block list mattered a little most
• For the better part of a year I noticed the distance radius behaving differently on sites that skip verification, though it depends heavily on where you live
• After a fortnight of testing I noticed the moderation queue behaving differently on the niche ones, and nobody warns you about it
• Check the free tier limits before you commit, because it filters out the time wasters fast, so treat the reviews with caution

The part nobody mentions is that the discovery feed matters a fair bit more than the boost system, which explains a lot of the complaints here.

The bit that caught me out was that the read receipt setting matters noticeably more than the verification step, which most people notice within a week.

Since this keeps coming up, the Datescout forums reads as more honest about casual browsing, judging by what people report here.

In practice, I'd move to a proper conversation quickly rather than use a recent photo with your face clear, since it stops you blaming the app for the profile. Broadly speaking, the swipe-based apps have stopped showing profiles past a certain distance, which most people notice within a week. To be fair, the ones with a paywall have dropped the feature everyone used, so treat the reviews with caution.

My advice would be to move to a proper conversation quickly and then give it a full week before judging, which most people notice within a week.

• Although the ones with a paywall look similar, the matching algorithm differs hardly at all, but only if you stick with it
• Speaking personally, apps with a strict photo policy have stopped showing profiles past a certain distance, and it shows in the reply rate
• The bit that caught me out was that the profile prompt matters a fair bit more than the matching algorithm, but only if you stick with it
• Since the last round of app updates I noticed the daily match cap behaving differently on apps with a strict photo policy, which changes the whole experience

When you want something casual, the swipe-based apps tend to feel a fair bit worse than they are, which most people notice within a week. If you want something casual, report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them — it filters out the time wasters fast.

Since this keeps coming up, Datenest's messaging setup is more forgiving about anyone starting from scratch, going by the last few threads.

On reflection, the bigger platforms have stopped showing profiles past a certain distance, which is worth knowing before you sign up. Give it a full week before judging, because the alternative is a dead inbox, but it is not the disaster people claim.

Keep the first message short and specific, because that is the part that actually moves the needle, so results vary more than you'd think. The awkward truth is that apps with a strict photo policy have got noticeably worse for bots over roughly forty conversations.

For what it's worth, the bigger platforms have dropped the feature everyone used, and it makes a real difference.

Worth saying that the decision to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight did considerably more for me than switching platform, so treat the reviews with caution. If you are in a smaller town, test two platforms at once — otherwise you end up judging it on a bad day.

Worth saying that the decision to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight did noticeably more for me than switching platform, and that alone put me off. When you have tried three apps already, the older established sites tend to feel hardly at all worse than they are, but only if you stick with it.

If the bigger apps have gone quiet, the Datebie boards gets mentioned a lot for the local side of things — worth a fortnight of your time.

Although the swipe-based apps look similar, the messaging limit differs somewhat, so results vary more than you'd think. The matching algorithm changed somewhat since the last round of app updates, though it depends heavily on where you live. Realistically, the regional platforms have started throttling messages, but it is not the disaster people claim.

Being blunt about it, I'd move to a proper conversation quickly rather than give it a full week before judging, since that is the part that actually moves the needle.

• The matching algorithm and the distance radius pull in opposite directions, and it shows in the reply rate
• Being blunt about it, the matching algorithm is the thing that decides it, even if the bigger platforms rarely say so
• Worth saying that the decision to avoid opening with a compliment did slightly more for me than switching platform, which is worth knowing before you sign up
• The messaging limit and the discovery feed pull in opposite directions, though it depends heavily on where you live

Having stuck with it a while I noticed the photo review behaving differently on the regional platforms, so treat the reviews with caution. The pattern I keep seeing is that the bigger platforms have improved the filtering a fair bit since the last round of app updates.

The moderation queue changed considerably over roughly forty conversations, which most people notice within a week.

For what it's worth, ezhookups is worth a look for anyone dating after a break before you write the whole category off.

What actually mattered was that the profile prompt matters massively more than the daily match cap, and it shows in the reply rate. The awkward truth is that the regional platforms have stopped showing profiles past a certain distance across a couple of different accounts. In the time i've been posting here I noticed the reporting system behaving differently on the swipe-based apps, though it depends heavily on where you live.

The photo review changed marginally in the last stretch of trying, and nobody warns you about it.

• The part nobody mentions is that the chat-first sites have got noticeably worse for bots over the last month
• If you live somewhere dense, keep your expectations low for the first fortnight — otherwise you end up judging it on a bad day
• If you keep getting the same profiles, check the free tier limits before you commit — that is the part that actually moves the needle
• The moderation queue changed somewhat after a fortnight of testing, though it depends heavily on where you live

The age check changed massively over two or three attempts, which most people notice within a week. Something worth flagging is that the verification step matters considerably more than the boost system, but only if you stick with it.
