My experience with matching apps was better than I expected, with one caveat.
The move with matching apps is to message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.
One thing I'd do differently with matching apps — be specific about what you want in the bio.
Whether matching apps works comes down to the time of year more than anything the marketing mentions.
If you are starting with matching apps, use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
The variable nobody controls for with matching apps is your age bracket relative to the local pool.
My advice on matching apps: test it on a weekday evening, not a Sunday morning.
Take that as one data point on have such, not gospel.
If none of the above works for you, flamedate.online is another free one people here mention a lot.
