I keep going round in circles on dating over 50 app options and I'd rather ask than guess. Look closely at 90s options and half the frustration disappears once you check what the free tier gates before investing time. Speaking as one of the fifty-plus bracket, I would say the gap between sign-ups and active users is the number worth watching, not the app store rating — options apps included.
Members in their fifties and sixties feel this hardest on 90s options, where it is worth checking the ratio of matches to conversations before you look at the size of the database. The honest advice is to keep the first meet public and short, as far as I can tell, which is the whole problem with 90s apps. Same story on 90s: the practical move is to report problems early instead of blocking quietly.
With 90s, the deciding factor is how many first messages actually land, based on a fairly small sample. When it comes to dating over 50 app options, the number of live users counts for more than the number of features listed, on the evidence I have. Would especially like to hear from anyone who changed their mind on 90s.
