The honest answer on best dating app reddit users recommend is that the moderation quality is the only variable that consistently predicts a good experience.

What I check before committing to apps of this type:

  • how the reply rate on dating app holds after week two
  • how the reply rate on the apps in question holds after week two
  • what these apps costs once the intro period ends
  • how apps of this type handles photo privacy

Is that everyone's experience with platforms like these, or am I the outlier? Take that as one data point on best dating app reddit users recommend, not gospel.
