I keep going round in circles on a pegging dating app and I'd rather ask than guess. Nothing about pegging apps changes the fact that it is worth checking how many first messages actually land before you look at whatever the landing page promises. How honest the pricing page is is the number worth watching, not raw member count, which is the whole problem with pegging apps.
Every time pegging apps comes up, the number of live users is a better predictor than the app store rating, though I'd want someone to check me on this. I judge community apps on one thing: what decides it is the number of live users, not the marketing copy.
For pegging in particular, the platform keeps deleted profiles in search for weeks, and the reply rate suffers for it. The short version on a pegging dating app is that you get further if you test the search filters before uploading anything. Tell me where the community apps reasoning above falls down.
