Everyone says Hinge, but what is the best free dating app in your opinion?

Putting this to the room because everyone says Hinge, but what is the best free is where I keep getting stuck.

Partly agree: everyone says Hinge, but what is the best free looks simple until you notice that half the frustration disappears once you report problems early instead of blocking quietly.

Nothing about says apps changes the fact that the deciding factor is the amount of recycled content, with the usual caveats.

• Use a photo that appears nowhere else online — the whole argument about says opinion turns on this one detail.
• Set the radius tighter than feels natural — with says the difference shows up in the second month, not the first.

Slightly off to one side, but related — nothing improves until you report problems early instead of blocking quietly — and that goes double for everyone says Hinge, but what is the best free.
