MoneySaving dating apps

Options
I'd love to hear about your experience with dating apps, particularly ones that are free or at least have a free/lite version.

MSE Becky mentions a few in her blog Dating at a distance, published last year, as well as some MoneySaving date ideas. I know there are many, many more dating apps out there though.

Which are your favourites? Which would you tell friends to avoid?

    Avoided Tinder like the plague - probably would catch it from there! People mostly looking for hook ups

    Met my beloved on OKCupid. I'd signed up for a month at £8.99 and cancelled immediately. Regret nothing.

    I met my ex-husband on Match in 2003... his ex found him on LinkedIn in 2018, hence him now being ex!
