Is there a nearby dating app that doesn't track your location 24/7?

I did the boring version of researching nearby dating app so nobody else has to. Two things matter for platforms like these: how the moderation actually behaves, and then patience.

Is that everyone's experience with nearby dating app, or am I the outlier? That is everything useful I have on nearby dating app.

With nearby dating app, that was the one thing I could not get a straight answer on anywhere.

Nobody talks about how the moderation actually behaves, and with the apps in question it's decisive. Curious whether others found the same on nearby dating.

Agree with AlbertM up to a point. nearby dating app broke down for me once what happens when you try to cancel came into it.

The only metric I trust on platforms like these now is how the moderation actually behaves. I will update this if dating app shifts again.

Going to push back slightly on how nearby dating app usually gets described.

I'd judge the apps in question entirely on how the moderation actually behaves and ignore the rest. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on apps of this type.

For a lighter-weight alternative I have had reasonable results with Flurrydate.

Worth saying up front that with nearby dating app, how quickly reports get handled matters more than anyone admits. The honest comparison on nearby dating app starts and ends with how the moderation actually behaves.

Someone will disagree, and on whether verification is enforced with apps of this type they might be right. I will update this if these apps shifts again.

Same as BrookeW, except nearby dating app took considerably longer than a week for me. None of this works with apps of this type unless you're patient about how the moderation actually behaves.

Anyone found whether the userbase is active in your area handled well anywhere in nearby dating app? Take that as one data point on these apps, not gospel.

I keep Flamedate as a backup when the main app goes quiet.

Testing nearby dating app taught me more about product design than about dating. What decided it for me with these apps was how the moderation actually behaves.

I'dn't have believed this about dating app without testing it. I've no stake in nearby dating — this is just what I observed. That's where I landed on nearby dating app after actually trying it.

I read CindyR's reply twice and still think it comes down to something else entirely on nearby dating app. Half the confusion around apps of this type disappears once you separate how the moderation actually behaves from the marketing.

This is four months of steady use on these apps, not a trial run. That is everything useful I have on apps of this type.

Building on what PatrickD said — nearby dating app improved for me for exactly that reason.

The order I check things with dating app:

• how the reply rate on these apps holds after week two
• what platforms like these costs once the intro period ends
• whether the free tier on platforms like these includes search filters

I'dn't have believed this about nearby dating app without testing it. That's where I landed on nearby dating app after actually trying it.

If you want a lighter-weight option, the DateDesire community is worth a look.
