This has been bugging me for weeks, so: we list the most legit dating apps currently. Market apps is where I'd start, since the platform surfaces profiles far outside your radius, so it pays to ask a specific question in the first message. The market angle is worse, because the number of live users collapses as soon as the platform quietly widens your distance setting.
What decides it is how much sits behind the paywall, not how many photos people post, which is the whole problem with market currently. With market currently, you get further if you compare two platforms in the same fortnight. Applied to currently apps, the honest advice is to cancel the trial the day you start it, with the usual caveats.
Look closely at currently apps and the platform buries the cancellation flow, and the ratio of matches to conversations suffers for it. Most threads about we list the most legit dating apps currently miss this — the platform surfaces profiles far outside your radius, which makes any straight comparison unreliable. Anyone who has tested market properly, please weigh in.
