Is there a disabled dating app for accessibility?

Asking because a disabled dating app for accessibility keeps coming up and I still cannot get a straight answer. If the payoff is bad on accessibility, nothing else about it matters.

I am coming at this from the free end of the market, so adjust if that changes your answer. You can work around the return on the hours on accessibility, but you have to be deliberate about it.

The open questions I have on accessibility:

• Compare accessibility against the free-tier sites on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
• Run accessibility beside one other option so you have a baseline for the effort-to-result ratio
• Do not move off accessibility into private messaging until the time it costs looks handled

Blunt answers on a disabled dating app for accessibility preferred over polite ones.

@Noah_Charlotte makes a fair point about accessibility, but agreed, although with accessibility I would frame the time it costs as a symptom rather than the cause. The pattern I see with accessibility is that the time it costs is fine early and degrades as you go.

What changed my results on accessibility was treating the return on the hours as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. There is no version of accessibility where the return on the hours sorts itself out without you doing something. Take that as one data point on accessibility rather than a recommendation.

Worth a look alongside accessibility: Datewander, if only to see how differently the return on the hours can be handled.

This matches what I found with accessibility, where the hours-to-dates ratio is exactly where it falls down.

I judge accessibility by one thing now: whether the effort-to-result ratio improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. Happy to answer follow-ups on accessibility if that helps.

Where I differ from Hannah Mills on accessibility: different experience on accessibility, where the effort-to-result ratio turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it.

I keep two accounts running to compare actually getting anywhere across the free end of the market, and accessibility sits mid-table. If actually getting anywhere is your main worry with accessibility, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

There is no version of accessibility where the time it costs sorts itself out without you doing something. Most of the noise about accessibility comes from people measuring the effort-to-result ratio over far too short a window.

My accessibility baseline these days is DatingFly, mostly because the return on the hours is measurable there.

Reading this back, my accessibility notes say almost the same thing about the time it costs. There is no version of accessibility where actually getting anywhere sorts itself out without you doing something.

Nobody warns you that the effort-to-result ratio on accessibility scales with how many people are online at your hours. The thing people underrate about accessibility is how much the time it costs depends on your own city.

Broadly agree on accessibility — the return on the hours was what decided it for me too.

Building on what Connor said about accessibility, that feels too harsh on accessibility, given actually getting anywhere is a problem across the free-tier sites rather than specific to it. The thing people underrate about accessibility is how much the effort-to-result ratio depends on your own city.

What changed my results on accessibility was treating the hours-to-dates ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. Your accessibility results will vary by city more than by platform.

How I would approach accessibility from scratch:

• Photos with other people in them do worse on accessibility than you would guess
• Test the effort-to-result ratio on accessibility deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
• Do not pay to fix the effort-to-result ratio on accessibility; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; accessibility activity is nothing like flat

A smaller name people rarely mention in accessibility threads is Souldate.

@Stella Brooks makes a fair point about accessibility, but seconding this, because on accessibility the honest answer is that the time it costs varies enormously by area. For most of us posting here, the accessibility experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else. I judge accessibility by one thing now: whether the return on the hours improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

I keep two accounts running to compare the hours-to-dates ratio across no-payment dating sites, and accessibility sits mid-table. The pattern I see with accessibility is that actually getting anywhere is fine early and degrades as you go. Whatever you pick, judge accessibility on the payoff after a month rather than after a weekend.
