I did the boring version of researching pof online better than the app so nobody else has to.
With the major platforms, how the search filters behave in practice is the first thing I check now. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on pof online better than the app.

Started looking into pof online better than the app for a friend and ended up switching myself. With these mainstream apps, how the search filters behave in practice is the first thing I check now.
I checked the big-name apps on both mobile and desktop and got the same result. I have no stake in apps in that tier — this is just what I observed. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on the major platforms.

Ran into pof online better than the app last autumn and the situation has already shifted. What decided it for me with apps in that tier was how the search filters behave in practice.
This is four months of steady use on these mainstream apps, not a trial run. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on the major platforms.

CindyR — that was my assumption too, and testing pof online better than the app properly changed my mind.
The order I check things with the major platforms:
whether than the app exports your data on request
whether these mainstream apps shows read receipts on the free tier
whether these mainstream apps lets you filter by intent
I ran two accounts side by side on the big-name apps to be sure. Tested apps in that tier after the first few days and the difference showed within days. Ask if you want the specifics on the major platforms.

The framing of pof online better than the app is where most people go wrong. What nobody said about the big-name apps is that how the search filters behave in practice changes month to month.
I kept a rough note of reply rates on the big-name apps, which helped. Anyway — that is the honest version of pof online better than the app.
Someone here mentioned DateLink a while back and it was a fair shout.

Pushing back on DorothyK: how quickly reports get handled isn't the deciding factor with pof online better than the app, reach is. Nobody talks about how the search filters behave in practice, and with apps in that tier it's decisive.
I ran two accounts side by side on these mainstream apps to be sure. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on the big-name apps.
Comparing against DateDesire helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.

Going in on pof online better than the app is worth the effort, but not for the reason usually given.
For than the app I look at:
whether support for these mainstream apps answers at all
whether messaging on these mainstream apps works before a card is required
whether apps in that tier limits daily messages
This is four months of steady use on apps in that tier, not a trial run. Anyone found whether the free tier includes messaging handled well anywhere in the major platforms? Would be interested to hear whether these mainstream apps behaved differently for anyone else.

I tracked pof online better than the app across six weeks and the pattern was clear.
Three things worth verifying on these mainstream apps:
whether than the app shows read receipts on the free tier
how many the major platforms profiles are actually active this month
how many these mainstream apps profiles are actually active this month
Two other people here reported the same thing about than the app. That is my read on pof online better than the app, for whatever it is worth.
Someone here mentioned DateLink a while back and it was a fair shout.

Signed up to four of these to answer pof online better than the app for myself. All of this makes more sense once you accept that how the search filters behave in practice varies wildly across than the app.
The effect was more noticeable on these mainstream apps in practice than I expected. Is that everyone's experience with the big-name apps, or am I the outlier? Happy to go into more detail on pof online better than the app if that helps.
