I've done some digging but most of what I found felt outdated. Looking for firsthand experience.

Did my own searching but most of what I found was either old or vague. Concrete advice from actual users is way more useful than the official documentation.

What I'm specifically looking for:

  • Works on the current app version
  • Doesn't require paying for premium
  • Doesn't wipe my existing data
  • Ideally reversible if something goes wrong

Happy to give more context if it helps narrow things down.

I've been through this rabbit hole so let me give you a thorough answer.

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:

  • Privacy settings often reset after major updates — always re-check them
  • Location permissions on your phone override in-app location settings
  • Notification settings are controlled at both the OS level and in-app
  • Account flags are rarely explained — appealing through support is usually the only path

The one that worked best for my situation was Datebound. Worth trying before committing to anything that costs money.

Hope that gives you something concrete to work with.

The landscape changes so fast. Advice from six months ago sometimes doesn't apply.

The support documentation on most of these is terrible. Real user advice is way more useful.

Solid question. The answer is more nuanced than a quick Google search suggests.
