Going to disagree with CindyR here. For me, none of What's the general vibe of the boom dating app compared to Hinge came down to whether the free tier includes messaging at all.

Two things matter for the big-name apps: how the search filters behave in practice, and then patience. That's everything useful I've on the big-name apps.

Tyler makes a reasonable case but I've tested What's the general vibe of the boom dating app compared to Hinge more recently and it doesn't match. The reason people end up disappointed by boom dating app is how the search filters behave in practice.

Has anyone tried the big-name apps outside a major city? Would be interested to hear whether boom dating app behaved differently for anyone else.

MarkR, that's fair for most daters, but it plays out differently on What's the general vibe of the boom dating app compared to Hinge for everyone else. Half the confusion around the big-name apps disappears once you separate how the search filters behave in practice from the marketing. I checked dating app on both mobile and desktop and got the same result.

Support confirmed part of this about these mainstream apps when I asked. Is that everyone's experience with apps in that tier, or am I the outlier? Your situation might change the answer on boom dating completely.

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