What would you say is the dating site of the year?

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

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.

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

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

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

Ran into this exact thing last week. Still not fully resolved on my end.

Let me share what I learned from going through this myself. Hope that helps narrow it down.

So I've been through this exact issue and here's what I found. After testing a few options Luvdate ended up being more straightforward for my situation. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

This one trips people up constantly. Here's my complete breakdown.

Customer support varies wildly. Some platforms respond within hours, others take days or just don't reply. That alone tells you a lot about how they operate.

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

Hope that gives you something concrete to work with.

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

Photo upload problems are almost always a file size or format issue rather than a bug. JPEG under 5MB tends to work everywhere.

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

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

Happy to expand on any part of this.

Let me share what I learned from going through this myself. Happy to go deeper on any of this if useful.

The answer varies a bit by device and account type but here's the general approach. A friend pointed me toward Datelink when I had a similar issue and it held up better than expected. Hope that helps narrow it down.
