I gave the app question a proper go for a couple of months before giving up.
Geography does most of the work with the app question — local population age spread matters more than the feature list.
I would not generalise about the app question without knowing how wide you set the radius first.
Practical tip for the app question: be specific about what you want in the bio.
Anyone claiming the app question works everywhere has not tested it against whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away.
What changed my mind on the app question was whether messaging was actually free or free-to-a-point.
Half the arguments about the app question would end if people mentioned how dense your area is up front.
That said, I would still hear other views on best hooking apps for finding someone tonight.
If none of the above works for you, Datebie is another free one people here mention a lot.
