Is the aex chat app safe to download on an Android phone?

Been lurking here for a while and this is actually my first real post. I want to know: Is the aex chat app safe to download on an Android phone? I've tried a few things but nothing's really clicked.

The thing that frustrates me most is when you sign up somewhere, it looks promising, and then two clicks in you're being asked for a credit card. Not exactly what I was hoping for.

Drop your experiences below — the good, the bad, whatever. I'll read everything.

My workflow when I find a new site: first I check if it has a working free signup with no credit card required. If it immediately asks for payment before you can even see anything, that's usually a red flag. Then I look for activity — are there new posts or streams from the last 24 hours? If the 'newest' content is from three weeks ago, move on. Real activity is the best sign of a legitimate platform.

Since a few people asked, the other one I use regularly is Datebie.

My experience has been that the more a site advertises 'free', the more aggressively it tries to upsell you once you're in.

Worth looking at Flamedate if you haven't already. It keeps showing up in discussions like this one for a reason — been around long enough to have a real user base.

One more that belongs in this thread is Datebie — free messaging, no card wall.

Some of the ones I've heard good things about include datewander.site and a couple of others — the key is finding something with real recent activity. Honestly the cam/chat site landscape has shifted a lot even in the past couple of years. Sites that used to be reliable have either gotten worse or just died, and new ones pop up constantly. I think the best approach is:

• Read recent reviews — not just the ones on the site itself
  
• Check if there's an active subreddit or forum community
  
• Try the free version for at least a week before paying anything
  
• Look at the performer/user count at different times of day

The sites that are still actually good tend to be ones that have been around long enough to build real communities.

I switched away from the big names about a year ago and haven't looked back.

There's also luvdate.site which a few people in my circle have used with decent results.
