Every time the pof dating site app work better on Android or iOS comes up the thread turns into an advert, so I am asking here instead. If the effort-to-result ratio is bad on dating site for android, nothing else about it matters.

For context I am mostly comparing the big apps rather than anything niche. You can work around the effort-to-result ratio on dating site for android, but you have to be deliberate about it.

What would actually help me judge dating site for android:

  • Test the hours-to-dates ratio on dating site for android deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
  • Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on dating site for android
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on dating site for android than you would guess
  • Ask most people in this thread what dating site for android is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
  • Block early and report often on dating site for android — it trains the feed faster than anything

Even a one-line answer on the pof dating site app work better on Android or iOS would help at this point.

That feels too harsh on dating site for android, given the time it costs is a problem across the household-name apps rather than specific to it.

If the payoff is your main worry with dating site for android, test it in the first week rather than the first month. Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on dating site for android than the sheer time it ate.

For contrast with dating site for android I would look at Souldate; the free tier there behaves differently.

For most of us posting here, the dating site for android experience lives or dies on actually getting anywhere and almost nothing else. Most of the noise about dating site for android comes from people measuring the time it costs over far too short a window.

Tyler Reed and I've clearly used dating site for android differently, because agreed, although with dating site for android I would frame actually getting anywhere as a symptom rather than the cause.

I keep two accounts running to compare the hours-to-dates ratio across the household-name apps, and dating site for android sits mid-table. Not saying dating site for android suits everyone, but it's not the disaster this thread implies.

I will push back here, because dating site for android worked fine for me and the payoff was never the issue.

The pattern I see with dating site for android is that the return on the hours is fine early and degrades as you go. You can work around the payoff on dating site for android, but you have to be deliberate about it.

One smaller option worth comparing on the payoff is Datewander — different pool, same free messaging as dating site for android.

Picking up Erin Weston's point about actually getting anywhere, that has not been my experience of dating site for android, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread. You can work around the return on the hours on dating site for android, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Same experience on dating site for android: I gave it six weeks before the time it costs got tiresome.

There is no version of dating site for android where actually getting anywhere sorts itself out without you doing something. Take that as one data point on dating site for android rather than a recommendation.

Picking up Ian Palmer's point about actually getting anywhere, disagree, because blaming actually getting anywhere lets you off the hook — my dating site for android results improved when my profile did.

For people who have actually tried it, the dating site for android experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else. Nobody warns you that the payoff on dating site for android scales with how many people are online at your hours.

Seconding this, because on dating site for android the honest answer is that the payoff varies enormously by area.

I keep two accounts running to compare the hours-to-dates ratio across the apps everyone has heard of, and dating site for android sits mid-table. Whatever you pick, judge dating site for android on the hours-to-dates ratio after a month rather than after a weekend.
