My advice would be to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages and then report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, and it shows in the reply rate. Granted people disagree here, the step that matters most is to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them: the difference in reply rate is obvious. If you have tried three apps already, skip anything asking for a card number to read messages — it saves a lot of wasted evenings. My advice would be to widen the distance radius early on and then give it a full week before judging, but only if you stick with it. Having tried most of these, the verification step is the thing that decides it, despite the fact that apps with a video option rarely say so.

Since the start of the year I noticed the read receipt setting behaving differently on the swipe-based apps, so results vary more than you'd think. Going by my own attempts, the chat-first sites have quietly changed how that works, which explains a lot of the complaints here. I stuck with apps with a video option after giving it a proper go, and the honest result was that the daily match cap mattered somewhat most. The messaging limit and the moderation queue pull in opposite directions, and it makes a real difference. When you are only browsing free options, the regional platforms tend to feel slightly worse than they are, so treat the reviews with caution.

What RebeccaK tends to post about

Worth saying that the decision to read the last few pages of a thread before asking did marginally more for me than switching platform, so treat the reviews with caution. The reporting system and the distance radius pull in opposite directions, but only if you stick with it. Although people disagree here, the step that matters most is to check the free tier limits before you commit: you learn more from one real chat than fifty swipes. Although people disagree here, the step that matters most is to write a profile that gives someone something to reply to: it saves a lot of wasted evenings.
