Is the pof dating site app better than using the website?

Searched the forum but didn't find anything recent on this exact situation so figured I'd just ask.

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.

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

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

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:

  • 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

Hopefully that saves you some frustration.

The answer varies a bit by device and account type but here's the general approach. Feel free to follow up if you hit another wall.

So I've been through this exact issue and here's what I found. The platform I keep coming back to for this is Datedesire — cleaner about what settings actually do. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

Most of the popular apps have gotten noticeably clunkier over the past year.

Spreading your activity across a couple of platforms tends to help with some of these.
