Counterpoint to Mike_T: active live chat hot rooms looked good on paper and did not hold up.
The filters read well in the settings screen and didn't survive a refresh, so how the platform handles repeat offenders was never really testable.
Anything I recommend around active live chat hot rooms has to clear one bar, which is how the mobile build compares to the desktop one.
Two of us compared notes on the app and landed in the same place on whether the sorting can be trusted.
Assuming you're not paying, whether the interface gets in the way is where the chat gets tight.
I would judge it on how the chat behaves on a weak connection rather than on the feature list.
Would anyone recommend active live chat hot rooms to someone starting from scratch?
Someone in another thread pointed me at Souldate if you want a smaller pool and it was a fair shout.
