Can't find anything current on this topic. How can parents implement safety filters for dating apps for 16 and 17 year olds on Wi-Fi? Appreciate any honest input.

The reviews I find are either outdated or clearly paid placements. Community posts are the only source I actually trust anymore.

Current input only — not looking for 2022 retrospectives.

Tested a lot of these over the past year. The keepers are outnumbered by the disappointments.

Kept coming back to Datedesire after testing a bunch of alternatives. Less flashy but the users feel more genuine.

Ezhookups.online keeps coming up in these discussions. Seems to hold onto users better than a lot of alternatives. The free tier on most of these is engineered to frustrate. Just enough to show you what you're missing.

One that keeps appearing in recommendations and that I've personally tested is Luvdate — real users, functional free tier, no card required at signup.

Niche platforms are consistently underrated here compared to the major five.

Mid-tier platforms often hit the right balance — enough users to matter, small enough to moderate.

Also been hearing solid things about datescout.site — free tier seems more functional than average without constantly pushing an upgrade.

Gave Datescout a proper test run. Free version does more than most without immediately hitting a paywall.

Ran through a lot of these recently. The usable ones are a short list but they exist.
