Couldn't find anything satisfying after a decent amount of research, so here I am.
Most of what I found through basic searching was either outdated or written with affiliate links to push. Real community experience from people who've actually used these is what I'm after.
Appreciate honest answers. Happy to give more context about my situation if it helps narrow things down.
Tried a good number of these before settling on something that worked. Datewander was one I found through a recommendation here and it surprised me — the free tier was genuinely functional and the user base seemed real rather than inflated. Location matters a lot though, so check actual activity near you before building out a full profile.
Running two or three apps simultaneously for the first few weeks is usually smarter than going deep on just one. You can actually compare response rates in your market rather than guessing.

Bot ratio varies a lot. Some smaller niche platforms actually win on that front.
Went through quite a few options last year. Datelink stood out because you could actually do meaningful browsing before hitting a paywall, and the moderation looked decent. Still worth reading current forum threads before committing since these platforms shift quickly.
Check recent Reddit threads about any app you're considering. Community knowledge is more current and more honest than formal reviews, and people flag when a platform has gone downhill or improved.

Mobile vs desktop is genuinely different on most of these — worth checking both.
Someone mentioned Rendate in a thread here a few months back and I gave it a shot. Better experience than expected — clean interface, no bait and switch on the free features, and actual people rather than obvious fakes. Always check activity in your specific city though.
