Killing Kittens

Moved to Manchester for work and knew nobody, so needed somewhere to meet people fast. Set up my profile on the phone during my lunch break and had matches by the evening. Booked a first date through the app with no bother at all. Really pleased, it's been brilliant for getting out.

Tried this after comparing it with a rival site that I thought was cheaper. This one is a bit pricier and the interface feels dated next to theirs. Sign up was fine, but matches have been thinner in my town. Customer support took a few days to reply to my question about cancelling.

Needed to get back out there after a breakup and didn't fancy spending hours on profiles. Signed up on the app in about five minutes, got a couple of decent matches the first evening. Went on a date the next week. Everything worked, no faff, would use it again.

The events list is the best bit for me, loads of things in my area like supper clubs and walks. I looked at a couple of other sites before and none of them had anything close. Signing up took two minutes and I've already been to one of the walks. Lovely group of people.

Good site, I'd say go for it. Been on it a few weeks and the matching has been better than I expected for my area. The app can be slow to load on my phone when the signal is bad, which is annoying when you're trying to reply quickly. Otherwise no real complaints, it's easy to use.

Honestly the verdict is that it's fine but not outstanding. The price is a bit higher than other sites I looked at, which I didn't mind too much. The profiles are better quality than most and the people I've met have been polite. The app crashed twice when I was uploading pictures.

Booked one of the speed dating nights after comparing a few local events. Booking was simple on the site and I got a confirmation straight away. The venue was packed and the hosts kept things moving well. Good value for the price and I'd happily go to another.

Booked a walking meetup through the events page on a Thursday night and had a confirmation within minutes. The only annoyance was that the date picker kept resetting when I changed the time, so I had to redo it twice before it stuck. Once it was booked everything else went smoothly and the organiser messaged the group the day before with the meeting point.

Compared to the big swipe apps this felt a lot more like a proper dating site, with fewer time wasters and people who actually say what they want. I've been using it on and off for about three years now. The matches have been decent and the support team sorted a login problem within a day when I emailed them. Only real gripe is the profile setup takes ages.

Went for the premium tier which set me back a fair bit, but I wanted to see if it got me more matches than the free version. It did, though the messaging limit is a bit tight. Quality of people is decent and the ID checks are reassuring. Worth it if you're serious, not for a casual look.

Sensible option if you want something without the usual nonsense. I've used a few apps over the years and the matching here is the most accurate I've seen. Profiles are verified, which weeds out a lot of the rubbish. Pricing is fair for what you get.

Paid for the premium membership after trying two other sites that were full of bots. Honestly I'm not sure it's worth the extra, the basic one would have been fine. Matches came through fine but a few profiles were out of date and I got two messages from accounts that had gone quiet. Support did reply, just took about four days.

Needed to meet people after uni and my mates kept on about this. Got on it on my phone and it was pretty quick to sign up. Only thing is the notifications come through really late sometimes. Otherwise it does the job.

Booked a singles night after reading about it and the price felt steep for what we got. The room was quite small and only a handful of people turned up in the end. Booking was easy enough but I had to chase an email about the refund for a cancelled slot. Not what I hoped for.

Decent site, I'd say it's worth a go. Signed up on my lunch break and the matching took a day or so to kick in. Only niggle is the photo upload kept failing on my phone the first time. Once that was sorted it's been fine.

I was rather sceptical when my daughter suggested I try an online introductions service at my age, but the sign up was straightforward and the team were most helpful when I had questions about my profile. I have been on several pleasant outings since, and I am grateful for the care they have taken.

Compared with the site I used before, this one has far fewer silly profiles, which I appreciated. I'm not one for fancy apps and this is simple enough to manage. The subscription renewed without asking me first, which I wasn't best pleased about, but I got a refund once I asked.

Signed up and paid for a month, which was less than two pints and a taxi in town. Got matched with a few people within the first week and the messages actually went somewhere. Nothing wasted there, so it earns its keep for me.

Compared to the swipe apps I'd been on this feels far more considered, with proper profiles and less of the ghosting. I've been a member for a while now and have met a couple of people I'd see again. Support answered a question about my account within the hour. Works well.

Needed something that wouldn't eat up my evenings with work being so busy. Signed up on the app while on the bus and had a few matches to look at by the time I got home. Messaging is easy and I've had a couple of nice conversations already. Really happy with it so far.
