The honest answer on most common dating apps used is that the moderation quality is the only variable that consistently predicts a good experience. None of this works with common dating apps unless you are patient about what the reply rate looks like after week one.

None of this was obvious to me about the apps in question until month two. Take that as one data point on most common dating apps used, not gospel.

CindyR, I do not think that holds — on most common dating apps used my experience was the opposite.

I rate dating apps on what the reply rate looks like after week one and nothing else, once you are actually using it. Your situation might change the answer on common dating completely.

Worth a look at EZHookups if the big apps get pushy with upsells.

The framing of most common dating apps used is where most people go wrong.

The only metric I trust on common dating now is what the reply rate looks like after week one. Happy to go into more detail on these apps if that helps.

Same as CindyR, except most common dating apps used took considerably longer than a week for me. For anyone weighing up apps of this type, what the reply rate looks like after week one is the tiebreaker.

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

This is four months of steady use on common dating, not a trial run. How long did these apps take before anyone here got a real reply? Would be interested to hear whether apps of this type behaved differently for anyone else.

Agree with WilliamC up to a point. most common dating apps used broke down for me once how much personal data it asks for came into it. The only metric I trust on these apps now is what the reply rate looks like after week one.

I've no stake in common dating — this is just what I observed. Someone will disagree, and on whether the userbase is active in your area with apps of this type they might be right. That's everything useful I've on platforms like these.

The short answer on most common dating apps used is yes, with one condition.

Three things worth verifying on platforms like these:

  • how these apps handles photo privacy
  • whether common dating apps lets you filter by intent
  • how these apps treats a paused account

Someone will disagree, and on how the moderation actually behaves with the apps in question they might be right. I ran two accounts side by side on the apps in question to be sure. That's everything useful I've on dating apps.

#8

Worth saying up front that with most common dating apps used, what happens when you try to cancel matters more than anyone admits.

For the apps in question I look at:

  • how many dating apps profiles are actually active this month
  • how the reply rate on dating apps holds after week two
  • whether these apps limits daily messages

Happy to go into more detail on apps of this type if that helps.

For comparison, DateLink handles the same thing differently.

The only way to settle most common dating apps used is to try it — and trying it costs nothing.
