Which trustworthy dating apps actually verify their users' identities?

So: trustworthy dating apps actually verify their users' identities. I have read a lot of contradictory takes on trustworthy and would rather hear from people who tried it. My problem with trustworthy so far has been profiles that never survive a video call.

I have tried a few options across the free-tier sites already and none of them stuck. Most of the noise about trustworthy comes from people measuring fake profiles over far too short a window.

Specifically, on trustworthy I would like to know:

• Turn off read receipts on trustworthy if the scam side of it is making you anxious about response times
• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the trustworthy pool near you is thin
• Run trustworthy beside one other option so you have a baseline for the scam side of it
• Give trustworthy a fortnight of daily use before calling the scam side of it a dealbreaker
• Treat your first trustworthy profile as a draft, because obviously unreal accounts punishes lazy ones

Even a one-line answer on trustworthy dating apps actually verify their users' identities would help at this point.

That tracks with my trustworthy run, which was fine until profiles that never survive a video call became the whole experience.

I judge trustworthy by one thing now: whether obviously unreal accounts improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. Not saying trustworthy suits everyone, but it is not the disaster this thread implies.

For contrast with trustworthy I would look at Datebound; the free tier there behaves differently.

I read Connor Price's reply on trustworthy and that tracks with my trustworthy run, which was fine until the scam side of it became the whole experience.

This matches what I found with trustworthy, where scripted messages is exactly where it falls down. The pattern I see with trustworthy is that bot accounts is fine early and degrades as you go. There is no version of trustworthy where bot accounts sorts itself out without you doing something.
