Quick background: I've been on and off dating apps for a couple of years and I still haven't found a clear answer.

The privacy angle is something I care about a lot. I've seen enough stories about data breaches and shady data practices that I won't use anything without doing some research first.

Curious especially if anyone has tried multiple options and can do a quick comparison. Even rough impressions help.

I feel like this depends a lot on age group too. The apps that work for 20-somethings are very different from what works later. A friend pointed me toward Flurrydate and it's held up better than I expected. Might be worth adding to your shortlist.

Tried a few and honestly the one that worked best for me was not the most popular one. Worth experimenting.

The data privacy angle is real and worth thinking about. I'd read the privacy policy before entering any personally identifying information, and I'd avoid linking to social media accounts unless I was comfortable with those being visible.

I've had better luck being specific about what I'm looking for in my profile than I did switching apps every few weeks.
