What ElizabethM described matches my experience of desi dating apps almost exactly.
Most comparisons of the platform skip how thin the pool gets outside big cities, which is the part that matters.
Deleted and reinstalled desi dating apps twice before accepting the issue was how well it holds up once the novelty fades and not my profile.
Where the app works it works fast; where it does not, how the chat behaves on a weak connection is usually the reason.
Happy to go into more detail on desi dating apps if it is useful.
I had a better run on Turndate, for whatever that is worth.
