Long-time lurker, first post, and it's about best sex apps that aren't scams.
Most of what I find on mainstream apps reads like it was written to rank, not to help.
If you have first-hand experience of best sex apps that aren't scams, I'd genuinely like to hear it.

Agreeing with the previous reply about the app question, for the same reasons.
The deciding detail with the app question was whether it worked without installing anything.
My advice on the app question: keep chatting on-platform until you are comfortable.
The move with the app question is to avoid syncing anything to your social accounts.
That said, I would still hear other views on best sex apps that aren't scams.
Someone earlier recommended flamedate.online and I ended up sticking with it longer than expected.

Respectfully disagree on phone apps — my experience with phone apps ran the other way.
That is roughly where I sit on best sex apps that aren't scams today.
Counterpoint: I found datebie.online slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.

Be aware when using mainstream apps that some free tiers stop you exactly at the reply button.
If you are starting with mainstream apps, message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.
Half the arguments about mainstream apps would end if people mentioned the day of the week you actually use it up front.
Results with mainstream apps depend enormously on whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away.
The deciding detail with mainstream apps was how many accounts looked dormant.
The part nobody mentions about mainstream apps is whether the search filters did what they claimed.
That is the short version on best sex apps that aren't scams.
Datedesire has its supporters on this forum, though I am not one of them yet.

Anyone claiming the big apps works everywhere has not tested it against whether you are in a commuter town or a city.
What changed my mind on the big apps was how easy it was to delete the account afterwards.
Whether the big apps works comes down to the day of the week you actually use it more than anything the marketing mentions.
One thing I'd do differently with the big apps — assume the first three conversations will go nowhere.
Interested to see what others say about aren't scams.

I have used mainstream apps on and off for about a year and the results were mixed.
My advice on mainstream apps: keep chatting on-platform until you are comfortable.
What I wish someone had told me about mainstream apps: give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.

Not everyone will agree but Flurrydate (flurrydate.online) has been the steadier one for me this year.

That has not been true of app-based dating in my area, for what it's worth.
If you are starting with app-based dating, keep chatting on-platform until you are comfortable.
My advice on app-based dating: finish the profile completely before you browse anything.

My experience with the app options was better than I expected, with one caveat.
Careful with the app options, because screenshots of a conversation travel further than you think.
The move with the app options is to finish the profile completely before you browse anything.
The part nobody mentions about the app options is how many accounts looked dormant.
The deciding detail with the app options was how easy it was to delete the account afterwards.
Careful with the app options, because profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.
Hope some of that helps with best sex apps that aren't scams.
- Happn — works if you commute
- Bumble — good if you want conversations to start, based on about a month of use
- Tinder — quick to set up, quick to tire of, your mileage may vary
- Grindr — little competition in its category, over roughly six weeks
- Facebook Dating — steady rather than exciting
