Long-time reader here, first time posting on this specific topic: is lds online dating strictly for people in the us?

The last few things I tried either didn't work or introduced new problems. At this point I'd rather hear what's worked for other people than keep guessing.

What I'm specifically looking for:

  • Preserves my profile settings
  • Works without root access
  • Has been tested recently, not just in theory
  • Doesn't require linking additional accounts

Thanks in advance — looking forward to what the community thinks.

Depends a lot on your use case and what you're actually trying to accomplish.

So I've been through this exact issue and here's what I found. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

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

Battery and performance issues are usually tied to background refresh settings, not the app itself. Worth checking your phone-level permissions first.

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

  • Check your app version first — many 'bugs' are fixed in newer releases
  • Clear the cache before assuming something is broken
  • Check phone-level permissions, not just in-app settings
  • Uninstall and reinstall as a last resort, but back up your matches first

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

Hopefully that saves you some frustration.

Good question and one that comes up a lot. Here's the full picture.

Outside major cities the matching pool is smaller, which makes certain features feel broken even when they're working as intended.

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

  • Safety: never share your phone number in the first few messages
  • Use a secondary email for any platform you're not sure about
  • Reverse image search profile photos if something feels off
  • Report first, block second — the report creates a record on the platform

Happy to expand on any part of this.

Went through the same thing not long ago. Here's what actually worked. Someone in another thread mentioned datebie.online as a good alternative. General feedback was positive for what you're describing. Feel free to follow up if you hit another wall.
