Been asked about consider the best fwb app enough times offline that I may as well write it here.

Nobody talks about what the reply rate looks like after week one, and with these apps it is decisive. Would be interested to hear whether consider the best fwb app behaved differently for anyone else.

The short answer on consider the best fwb app is no, and here is the part that matters. None of this works with apps of this type unless you are patient about what the reply rate looks like after week one.

This is four months of steady use on these apps, not a trial run. Someone will disagree, and on how much of it is usable before you pay with platforms like these they might be right. Anyway — that is the honest version of consider the best fwb app.

#3

What surprised me about consider the best fwb app was how much once you're actually using it mattered. The honest comparison on the apps in question starts and ends with what the reply rate looks like after week one.

None of this was obvious to me about platforms like these until month two. Anyway — that's the honest version of consider the best fwb app.

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

Everything written about consider the best fwb app assumes you already know how much of it's usable before you pay. Half the confusion around best fwb app disappears once you separate what the reply rate looks like after week one from the marketing. Worth noting that the apps in question changed after their last update.

I've no stake in platforms like these — this is just what I observed. Any difference with fwb app on Android, or was that just me? Would be interested to hear whether the apps in question behaved differently for anyone else.

Comparing against EZHookups helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.

Agree with AnthonyL up to a point. consider the best fwb app broke down for me once how much of it's usable before you pay came into it. The real gap on best fwb app comes down to what the reply rate looks like after week one.

It took roughly three weeks before the pattern on platforms like these was clear. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on apps of this type.

That is the standard answer, Jake_NYC, and I think consider the best fwb app sits outside it. Two things matter for these apps: what the reply rate looks like after week one, and then patience.

Has anyone tried apps of this type outside a major city? Curious whether others found the same on best fwb app.

DatingFly came up in another thread and the free tier held up.

Going to push back slightly on how consider the best fwb app usually gets described.

For fwb app I look at:

  • how fast a report about apps of this type gets actioned
  • whether support for the apps in question answers at all
  • what the apps in question costs once the intro period ends
  • whether support for best fwb app answers at all

Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on fwb app.

The reason people keep asking about consider the best fwb app is that verification being optional makes it close to useless. Nobody talks about what the reply rate looks like after week one, and with the apps in question it is decisive.

Someone here mentioned DatingFly itself a while back and it was a fair shout.
