The honest answer about squirt chat is that the marketing and the product are different things.
The gap between good and bad platforms here is how the mobile build compares to the desktop one.
Most of my useful conversations on the app started midweek, which says more about how much control you get over who sees you than about timing.

Once I fixed my filters, how much control you get over who sees you stopped being the bottleneck on the app.
What I would look at, in order, for squirt chat:
Widening the radius on the chat added volume and quietly worsened what the verification step actually proves.
I would judge that one on what happens after you flag someone rather than on the feature list.
My first week on squirt chat looked promising; by the second I was only really watching whether the algorithm is doing anything useful.

Most comparisons of squirt chat skip whether the useful settings are buried, which is the part that matters.
Different result here, and how quickly you can narrow a list down is why.
Took me about 6 weeks on the platform to work out that the real question was whether the rules get applied evenly.
