Spent about a month testing best free dating web sites for users who prefer desktop over mobile properly, so here is what I found.

My short checklist for web sites:

  • whether the platforms like these userbase is real inside your radius
  • whether messaging on apps of this type works before a card is required
  • whether photos on these apps can be limited to matches only
  • how many apps of this type profiles are actually active this month

That held true for dating web sites once you are actually using it, though your mileage may differ. Anyway — that is the honest version of best free dating web sites for users who prefer desktop over mobile.

Testing best free dating web sites for users who prefer desktop over mobile taught me more about product design than about dating.
