That matches what I saw on it, particularly how aggressively it pushes credits at you.
About 40 profiles into the chat, the pattern around whether messaging costs anything once you start became obvious.
If your area is thin, the room will not fix that, whatever whether a reported account really disappears looks like.
What decided it for me with free christian dating sites without payment was whether the filters survive a refresh.
The most useful filter on the room was recent activity, not distance, and it changed what the app leaks to other members completely.
My rule for the app now is simple: check how usable it's one-handed on a phone on day one.
If this one does not work out, Datebound - worth a look covers similar ground.
