Common traps
- Star ratings on app stores are easy to inflate and rarely reflect current quality
- Free trials that quietly convert into a paid plan
- “Active users” usually counts accounts created, not people logging in
- Profiles with a single professional photo and no bio are often fake
Staying safe
- Meet in a public place the first time and tell someone where you are going
- Do a video call before meeting in person
- Report anything that feels off, because it usually is
- Keep personal details off your public profile
What to look for first
- An active user base in your own area rather than nationwide totals
- Clear pricing, so you know up front what is free and what is not
- Free messaging that genuinely works, not a teaser that locks after two replies
- Visible moderation and a report button that actually does something
