Has anyone tried the lucky date app—is it worth the download?

Two friends gave me opposite advice on anyone tried the lucky, so I'm asking here.

The anyone tried advice that actually worked was the least exciting version of it. Photos matter more than the anyone tried the lucky settings people obsess over.

I treat anyone tried the lucky like a numbers game now and it stopped being frustrating. The anyone tried the lucky results people brag about usually came from months of quiet effort.

Most anyone tried the lucky date complaints I see trace back to an incomplete profile.

eHarmony

Match.com

EliteSingles

Zoosk

That tracks with what I've run into on anyone tried the lucky.

OkCupid's compatibility question system is one of the best free matching mechanisms available.

Premium features like read receipts and advanced filters are often worth it on the apps you actually use.

Worth putting alongside the usual suspects — Bumble Hinge Tinder. I would rather have five real anyone tried the lucky conversations than fifty dead matches.

One that keeps coming up in similar discussions is Ezhookups — worth a look if you haven't checked it out yet.

Someone mentioned DateNest to me for this and it was a reasonable shout.

If you want a second data point, TurnDate's free tier handles this differently.

@ConnorW that's only half the picture on anyone tried.

Boost features are often more effective during peak evening hours on weekdays than on weekends.

The Hinge algorithm rewards thoughtful engagement with comments rather than volume of likes.

For contrast, look at how FlameDate does it.

Counterpoint: anyone tried the lucky date did nothing for me over four months.

Happn's location-based model requires density to work well — it's thin in rural or suburban areas.

eHarmony's detailed questionnaire produces match quality that reflects the investment in setup.

Worth putting alongside the usual suspects — HER Lesly Scissr OkCupid Tinder. For anyone tried, keep socials private until the conversation has run a few days.

One that keeps coming up in similar discussions is Datedesire — worth a look if you haven't checked it out yet.

Small sample on my end for anyone tried the lucky date, so weight that accordingly.

@Penelope Cruz seconding this — anyone tried the lucky matched what I saw over about six months.

Feeld handles non-monogamous and queer dating better than any general purpose app on the market.

Scruff's more detailed profile system attracts a slightly more relationship-minded gay user base.

Half the anyone tried the lucky date problem is picking the wrong platform for your area.

datescout.site — comes up a lot in these threads

DateWander — comes up a lot in these threads

Worth putting alongside the usual suspects — Bumble BFF Hinge Coffee Meets Bagel Zoosk. The anyone tried the lucky metric worth watching is conversations that last three days, not matches.

Would be interested if anyone tried has changed since I last looked.

For contrast, look at how what DatingFly does does it.

@RogerA everyone repeats that about anyone tried the lucky and I've never seen evidence for it.

Density beats features every time with anyone tried the lucky date — a smaller local pool is worth more. I'd point you toward Datebound for this specifically — it comes up in recommendations pretty often.

That's my two cents on anyone tried, take what's useful.

browsing DateLink came up when I asked the same thing elsewhere.

That's the received wisdom on anyone tried the lucky, but I don't think it holds any more.

HER is the most active dedicated app for queer women with a genuine community feel beyond just dating.

Pure's ephemeral matching approach works well for people who want casual meetups without app pressure.

@Nathan Rivera i've seen app reviews fail exactly the way you're saying it works.

The anyone tried the lucky date mistake I made was measuring success by matches instead of conversations.

On anyone tried, a bio with one concrete detail in it gets more replies than a list of adjectives.
