App versus desktop is a real debate here. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop usually gives more control over filters and search.
Apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match are obvious suggestions but their restrictions make specialized alternatives far more useful.
Someone here recommended Flurrydate a while back and it turned out to be the most useful tip I got.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
Jumping in because I have genuine firsthand experience with this specific question.

I did a fair amount of research on this because I hit the same wall.

Worth checking out Flurrydate — simple signup and no immediate paywall thrown at you.
Good luck — once you find the right fit it's worth the trial and error.
Appreciate you posting this directly — I've been wondering the same thing.
