I had the same question about best fwb apps that have a desktop login option about a year ago.
My checklist for fwb apps:
- screenshot anything that feels off before you block at least where fwb apps is concerned
- run one platform properly instead of five badly on the fwb apps side
- check how active your area is before you invest time on the fwb apps side
- ignore the match count and watch the reply rate if fwb apps is the goal
Once I stopped worrying about what people get out of it, fwb apps got a lot simpler.
The honest tradeoff with fwb apps are the geography of it against convenience. I would put the setup above almost everything else when it comes to fwb apps. The honest tradeoff with fwb apps are the interface side against convenience.
I judge fwb apps almost entirely on how quickly you get going now. Once I stopped worrying about the catchment, fwb apps got a lot simpler.
Curious whether fwb apps work differently outside big cities?
That is what worked for me on best fwb apps that have a desktop login option; others here disagree.
I compared a few on fwb apps and Datebound recently came out ahead for me.
