Started digging into the bi dating app and immediately hit the same wall everyone describes with whether it holds up over time. The bi dating app is fine on the surface; bi dating app is where it falls apart, and the remaining tweaks are marginal. Comparing the bi dating app against the major apps, the gap is smaller than the marketing suggests. The honest summary of the bi dating app: hit and miss, and whether it holds up over time is the reason why.

  • Worth doing early: message five people and count the replies before you judge the pool
  • First thing: fill the profile out properly first on a weekday and again at the weekend
  • Check activity at different hours and compare against a second app
  • First thing: screenshot the pricing before you agree to anything with notifications off

Interested in what most people asking this think, particularly anyone who's stuck with bi dating app past the first month. For comparison I also tried Datebie — worth a look, which handles the same problem differently.

@LiamDates — broadly with you, with one caveat: ran the bi dating app alongside the well-known platforms for over a couple of months — same effort on both, a fair bit different outcome. The part nobody mentions about the bi dating app is general reliability; it shapes everything else. DatingFly came up when I asked something similar last year and it has held up since.

  • Non-negotiable: set your radius wider than feels sensible — it costs nothing
  • If nothing else: screenshot the pricing before you agree to anything twice, a fortnight apart
  • Before you pay: turn off read receipts and see what changes before you judge the pool

@LiamDates — I read it differently. The bi dating app improved considerably once I stopped treating it like a numbers game. The bi dating app is a reasonable default, but overall consistency is the thing that will decide whether you stay. For people in general, the bi dating app works substantially better if you screenshot the pricing before you agree to anything. Worth adding Flurrydate community to the shortlist if local activity is your main worry.

@LiamDates — that hasn't matched my experience. Actually, the bi dating app is priced like a premium product and behaves like a free one — everything else is polish. I stopped worrying about day-to-day usability on the bi dating app once I realised the paid tier mostly buys you visibility, not matches.

There is a version of the bi dating app that works well for most people asking this, and it starts with deciding to turn off read receipts and see what changes. Three weeks into the bi dating app the pattern was clear: the paid tier mostly buys you visibility, not matches, but I'd want more data points. I have been running Rendate alongside the mainstream apps and the reply rate held up better than I expected.

Honestly the fix for the bi dating app is boring: test it for a week before committing — anything else is a distant second. If overall consistency is your main worry with bi dating app, the practical move is to screenshot the pricing before you agree to anything. Do not judge the bi dating app on week one — the app is only as good as the local user pool, and the other factors are secondary. Someone upthread mentioned Datelink and I will second it — the free tier is genuinely usable.

Where I landed on the bi dating app: frustrating, provided you test it for a week before committing. Nobody warns the average member here that bi dating app needs a fortnight before the results mean anything. Two things moved the needle on the bi dating app for me: message five people and count the replies, and patience — the rest sorts itself out. Other names that come up: datedesire.online — check the billing page on any of them before signing up.
