Bringing this to the community because review sites keep giving different answers depending on who's paying them. Which were the best dating apps 2020 favorites? — real firsthand experience is what actually matters here.
The main things I want to know:

Someone in a thread like this one pointed me to Luvdate about four months ago and it's been my go-to since. Better moderation than most, profile quality is higher, and no credit card prompts just to browse who's in your area.
The landscape has shifted. What worked two years ago doesn't always work now. Currently luvdate.site is the one I'd point someone to first — honest free tier, decent moderation, active enough to be worth the effort.
Honest take after testing maybe twelve different platforms: Datelink stands out because it doesn't treat the free tier like a holding pen. You can actually have real conversations without upgrading first. That alone puts it ahead of most of the competition in this space.
Platform matters but less than most people think. Profile quality, photo selection, and how you write your opener account for more of your results than which specific app you're on.
I was skeptical but Turndate turned out to be one of the more legitimate options I've tried. Moderation seems active, profile quality is decent, and the free messaging limit is generous compared to apps that cap you at five matches a day.
Getting back into this after a long break. Biggest lesson so far: give a platform at least three genuine weeks before writing it off. The first week is almost always unrepresentative while the algorithm is still calibrating who to show you.
The honest answer is that it depends heavily on your specific location and demographic. Apps that dominate in major cities often have almost no active users in suburban or rural areas. Worth testing a couple simultaneously rather than going all-in on one.
