Dropping this question here because I keep getting useless answers everywhere else: What is the best app to meet european singles while traveling?
I've done the standard research — review sites, Reddit, app store pages — and none of it gives me a clear current picture, especially when it comes to best app. From my side, review sites are pay-to-play, Reddit threads get dominated by a few loud voices, and app store reviews are heavily managed, at least in my experience. Broadly speaking, the only reliable signal I've found is community experience from people who are actually using these things.
Specifically curious about:
- From my side, whether the experience has changed significantly in the last 12 months
- Generally speaking, how the free tier compares to what you actually need to function on the platform
- If I'm honest, whether the user base is real or inflated with bots and dead accounts
- From what I've seen, any privacy or billing gotchas I should know before signing up
In practice, real firsthand experience is worth a hundred review articles at this point, assuming your filters are sensible.
