Anyone evaluating seen should test one thing first, and it's not the profile builder.

Before committing time to it, work out whether the good profiles are already taken.

Widening the radius on the site added volume and quietly worsened how the mobile build compares to the desktop one.

For the over-50 crowd specifically, how many obvious fakes survive a week changes the whole calculation on seen.

Anyone tried seen on a smaller platform and got a different result?

If you only test one thing on seen, make it whether the interface gets in the way.

About 100 profiles into the app, the pattern around whether the community polices itself became obvious.

Happy to go into more detail on seen if it's useful.

For a second opinion I also cross-checked the Datescout boards.

Can confirm the it part. Less sure about whether the sorting can be trusted.

I logged into the site at different times of day to get a read on how quickly you can narrow a list down.

Unless you're in a major metro, expect whether the filters survive a refresh to be the limiting factor on the app.

What decided it for me with seen was whether the interface gets in the way.

Photo quality moved my results on the platform more than anything I wrote, more even than whether the interface gets in the way.

Breaking down what I actually checked on seen:

  • How quickly seen starts pushing a paid tier at you
  • Whether seen shows you who has actually read a message
  • Whether the filters on seen hold after you reload the page
  • Whether seen works at all outside the three biggest cities near you

That is my read on seen anyway, others will have had different luck.

For a second opinion I also cross-checked how Datedesire handles it.

Seconding what SophieR said, with one caveat about seen.

If you're only browsing, the app is fine. The moment how usable it's one-handed on a phone matters, it changes.

What separates seen from the rest of the field is whether the ratio is workable in your area.

Would anyone recommend seen to someone starting from scratch?

I had a better run on datingfly.online, for whatever that is worth.

Not sure I agree with SophieR. On seen the opposite was true in my area.

The filters read well in the settings screen and didn't survive a refresh, so whether the interface gets in the way was never really testable.

Most comparisons of seen skip whether it thins out after the first week, which is the part that matters.

Agreed on the whole. Whether photos can be traced back to you is the bit I would test first.

The most useful filter on that one was recent activity, not distance, and it changed how visible the block and report controls are completely.

The measure I would actually check on the site is whether the community polices itself.

I gave that one about 2 weeks before I formed a view, mostly watching whether the rules get applied evenly.

If you care about how quickly you can narrow a list down, that alone should decide whether the service is worth it.

Does anyone know whether seen changed this recently?
