eHarmony

Signed up because my mate said it was better than the free app. The questions were ok but took ages and I got bored halfway through. Matches have been fine but a bit slow to come through, and I waited a few days for a reply from support about my account.

Matches land in my inbox every morning at the same time, which I didn't expect and rather like. Signing up took a few minutes on the laptop and the app syncs with it fine. Worth it if you want steady options without scrolling for hours.

Signed up on the app on the bus, took about ten minutes. Got a few matches the same evening and the suggestions seem fairly sensible. Only thing is the app is a bit slow to load when I'm on mobile data, but it's fine on wifi.

The first thing I noticed was how easy the sign up was, with the questions split into short sections so it didn't feel like homework. I've only been on it a few weeks but I've already had a couple of conversations that went somewhere. Glad I gave it a go.

I've been a member on and off for about eight years now and I keep coming back because the suggestions are usually decent. The renewal reminder came a bit late this time and I had to chase the payment page, which was a nuisance. Otherwise the site is straightforward and I don't have to think about it much. Customer service answered my email within a day when I had a question about changing my details.

I'd tried the free dating app first and got mostly people who weren't serious, so I paid for this one to compare. The matches are better quality but you do get fewer of them each week and the profile photo check took a couple of days to clear. Still, it's the one I'd stick with.

I joined after a difficult separation because I wanted to try meeting people again properly. Been a member a good while now and the matches have been consistent, with the odd good one that's become a proper friend. The support team has always answered my questions within a day.

I've used a few of these sites over the years, so I know what to expect from the matching questions. This one asks more about values and day to day habits than most, and the suggestions reflect that. The profile tools are easy to find and the messaging works properly. I only had to pay for the upgrade once to see who had liked my profile, and that was clearly explained before I paid.

Compared it with the free dating app my mate uses, and this one gives me far fewer matches each week. The ones I do get seem more serious, but I'd have liked a few more options. It costs a fair bit more than the free app too.

I renewed my twelve month subscription this spring after being with them for about six years now. Last time the renewal price had gone up quite a bit with no warning, and when I rang about it the person on the phone was helpful but couldn't do anything about the figure. I've met a good friend through them so I'm staying, but it's dearer than I'd like.

Signed up on my phone and the matches started showing up the same day, which was nice. The profile questions are a bit long but worth doing. Got a couple of good chats going already, no complaints so far.

I took out a six month subscription to the matching service, which I'd not used before. The sign up was clear enough and the profile was simple to put together. The price is higher than some sites I've seen, and I'd have liked a bit more contact with matches before paying.

Compared it to the free apps I'd tried before and this one has far fewer timewasters, which was the main thing I wanted. The matches feel more genuine and the questions do seem to matter. Paid for three months and would happily keep going.

Easily the best of the matchmaking sites I've tried. The compatibility questionnaire is longer than most, and it shows in who gets suggested, with fewer random profiles and more people who actually match what I said I wanted. I've used three other platforms over the years and this is the one that keeps sending sensible matches rather than filling the page with nonsense. The app works fine on my old phone too, which I wasn't expecting.

Signed up for a month to see how it went. Matches arrive fine and the app works. Price is on the high side for what you get, so I'd only pay for it while you're actively looking.

Needed something I could use between shifts because I'd got no time to meet people properly. Signed up on my phone in about ten minutes while waiting for the bus. Matches have been coming through steadily, though the app crashed once when I was messaging someone which was annoying.

Compared it with two other dating sites before picking this one, and it came out ahead on the sort of people it suggests. The others felt like they were mostly filled with people nowhere near my area. Five minutes on the questions made a real difference to what came up, and I've had a couple of good dates already.

What I bought was the twelve month membership, which I took out after my husband passed away. The matching questions took a good half hour to work through, but they've made a real difference to who I get introduced to. The people suggested are mostly within a reasonable distance and share my interests. I've been out for coffee with a couple of gentlemen and one of them is a lovely man, so I'm pleased I went ahead.
