Has anyone tried the lucky date app, and is it real?

Spent the weekend reading about tried the lucky date app, and is it real and came away more confused. The only metric I trust with lucky date app is how much of the traffic is automated.

Where I get stuck with lucky date app is that every source has something to sell, and that is exactly the gap I am trying to close. My rule with lucky date app: how obvious the scripted replies are first, everything else second.

My shortlist when weighing lucky date app, in order:

• Look at whether the same faces cycle back the next day before deciding whether it is worth paying for
• Work out whether last-active timestamps look plausible before you upload a second photo
• Count how the search behaves outside the default radius against one platform you already trust
• Sanity-check what the filters do after a page refresh in your own city rather than the default radius
• Pin down whether the distance setting is honoured before deciding whether it is worth paying for

For those of you deep into lucky date app, what would you do differently? Successes and dead ends both help me decide. Concrete examples are the only thing I can act on.

Unpopular view, maybe: lucky date app depends almost entirely on your city. What nobody mentions about lucky date app is how photo permissions are handled. Datewander right now came up in a similar thread last month.

That's the short version on lucky date app, though clearly it varies by region.

Disagree with @Isabella on lucky date app. The version of lucky date app I used had none of that. Two weeks in, whether the block list holds day to day is what actually mattered for lucky date app.

That's been my experience with lucky date app, anyway.

Adding to @Cameron rather than arguing — lucky date app varies more than either of us said. Anyone comparing lucky date app should be looking at how much personal detail leaks by default before anything else. A friend nudged me toward Datelink's free tier and it was not a waste.

That's the honest picture of lucky date app, for whatever that's worth.

For what it's worth: lucky date app has been mixed for me and I'll explain why. For lucky date app, what privacy controls exist once you are past sign-up is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening. Ended up sticking with Souldate's free tier for the messaging alone.

That's my read on lucky date app, though clearly it varies by region.

Going to push back on @Cameron here. Lucky date app behaved very differently for me. The thing that decides it for lucky date app is whether it is genuinely free or free until you try to reply after the first week.

The quick sanity pass I run on lucky date app, in order:

• Pin down how the search behaves outside the default radius twice, a week apart
• Pin down how many profiles carry more than two photos against one platform you already trust
• Track how the feed changes when you narrow the age range with the age filter set narrow

Where lucky date app falls down for me is whether the activity is real or recycled.

That's what six weeks of lucky date app taught me and I would revise it if the numbers moved.

Not the answer anyone wants: I want to like lucky date app more than I actually do. The honest test for lucky date app is how quickly a new profile gets noticed, not the feature list.

Where I'd start with lucky date app this year:

• Track whether the distance setting is honoured in your own city rather than the default radius
• Time how quickly a scripted account gives itself away in your own city rather than the default radius
• Count what happens to your visibility after a week of silence at the hour you would actually be using it

I judge lucky date app almost entirely on how aggressive the upsell gets.

That's the short version on lucky date app, anyway.

Short version: lucky date app surprised me, though not immediately. You can ignore most of the marketing around lucky date app and just check whether conversations actually go anywhere on mobile.

That's the honest picture of lucky date app, may not hold for you.
