My run with swipe apps lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.
My read is that swipe apps lives or dies on the time of year.
The thing to watch on swipe apps is that moving to an external messaging app early is a common scam setup.
The thing that kept me on swipe apps was how many people within reach were active that week.
Careful with swipe apps, because profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.
What decides swipe apps for most people is the day of the week you actually use it, not the app itself.
Two people can have opposite experiences of swipe apps purely because of how far you are willing to travel.
Take that as one data point on most popular lds dating app aside from Mutual, not gospel.
The one that finally worked for me was EZHookups, after about a month of trying others.
