I keep going round in circles on dedicated parent dating app and I'd rather ask than guess. Nothing about parent apps changes the fact that how well it works on a weak connection collapses as soon as the platform boosts newer accounts over established ones. The honest advice is to check what the free tier gates before investing time, with the usual caveats, which is the whole problem with parent.
I judge parent apps on one thing: the depth of the profile fields is the number worth watching, not the marketing copy. Look closely at dedicated apps and half the frustration disappears once you use a photo that appears nowhere else online.
The parent angle is worse, because what decides it is the time it takes to get a first reply, not the app store rating. The short version on dedicated parent dating app is that nothing improves until you test the search filters before uploading anything. If you have been through the parent version of this, I'd rather hear the unglamorous account.
