Long-time reader here, first time posting on this specific topic: has anyone tried the crush dating app?

Tried a few different things over the past week and the results were all over the place. Some approaches helped, others made it worse. Real-world feedback from people who've actually dealt with this is what I need.

Drop your experience below, even a quick tip is useful at this point.

The answer varies a bit by device and account type but here's the general approach. Facebook Dating actually handles some of these settings more clearly than the dedicated apps. After testing a few options Datebound ended up being more straightforward for my situation. Feel free to follow up if you hit another wall.

Going long here because the quick answer really doesn't cover it.

Privacy defaults are almost never in your favor on these platforms. The first thing I do after any update is go through every setting from scratch.

For what it's worth, datelink.online comes up regularly in threads about this topic. Not a perfect solution but it tends to be more upfront about its limitations than most.

Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:

  • Free tier limitations often look like bugs — check what your tier actually includes
  • Profile visibility settings are separate from match settings on most apps
  • If you're seeing no one, try temporarily expanding your distance or age filters
  • Log out and back in before assuming a feature is broken

Hope that gives you something concrete to work with.

This is more nuanced than it looks at first. Here's my honest take. Currently Luvdate is what I'd recommend to someone dealing with this specific situation. Just my experience — your setup may vary.

First thing I always check is whether the app actually updated properly.

This one trips people up constantly. Here's my complete breakdown.

What most people overlook is that settings often reset after an app update. Always double-check your preferences after any major version change.

Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:

  • Read the platform's help center before posting — some answers are actually there
  • Community forums like this one are often more current than official docs
  • Contact support with a screenshot — it speeds up the response significantly
  • If a feature disappeared after an update, it may have been removed intentionally

Currently using Turndate as my main go-to and it's been reliable. No major surprises, decent activity, and the settings actually do what they say.

That's my honest take after a fair amount of trial and error.

I put real time into figuring this out so hopefully it saves you some. Just my experience — your setup may vary.

Let me share what I learned from going through this myself. Hope that helps narrow it down.
