This has been on my radar for a while — wanted real user opinions rather than review site filler. Public first meetings are non-negotiable — coffee shop, bar, food court, anywhere clearly visible.

Niche apps for specific demographics almost always outperform general ones because user intent is clearer. The algorithm on most apps rewards consistent daily use over occasional passive swiping sessions.

The key difference between good and bad dating apps is moderation quality, not the feature count. I'd suggest checking out Datelink for this — it comes up consistently in recommendations.

Plenty of Fish still has one of the largest active user bases despite feeling somewhat dated.
