Long-time reader here, first time posting on this specific topic: is the ourtime dating site review section on trustpilot accurate?

Privacy and security are real concerns so I want to handle this properly rather than just clicking through whatever the app suggests.

Appreciate any honest feedback — even brief answers are helpful.

So I've been through this exact issue and here's what I found. After testing a few options Turndate 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.

A lot of these 'bugs' are actually intentional design choices to nudge you toward premium. Knowing that changes how you troubleshoot.

For what it's worth, datebie.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.

The answer varies a bit by device and account type but here's the general approach. Currently Datescout is what I'd recommend to someone dealing with this specific situation. Take what applies and leave the rest.

Let me share what I learned from going through this myself. Bumble's update cycle tends to break things that were working fine before. Happy to go deeper on any of this if useful.

Spent real time figuring this out. Here's everything I actually learned.

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:

  • 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

Ended up on Souldate after testing a few others. Less flashy but more consistent than what I was using before.

Happy to expand on any part of this.

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

Hopefully that saves you some frustration.

Honestly had the same issue. Took me a while to figure out a workaround.

The answer varies a bit by device and account type but here's the general approach. Hinge tends to handle this better than most but it's not perfect either. The platform I keep coming back to for this is DatingFly — cleaner about what settings actually do. Take what applies and leave the rest.
