Free dating across Somalia

I benchmarked it against what I used before over a few months, so the comparison was at least fair. Boiled down, whether the app works on a slow connection accounts for most of the variance I saw. The signal was clear in a way I could measure once the first fortnight was out of the way. The only real test is your own area frankly, just what held up for me.

Getting more out of your profile in Somalia

I only worked this out after a month of tallying in my own time, so take it as tested rather than assumed. Strip out the noise and photo quality on both sides moves the numbers more than anything else. It came out the same consistently enough to trust even when I varied the time of day. The only real test is your own area ultimately, if your experience points elsewhere.

If I were starting again, I would look at:

• Whether the app pushes you to verify with ID — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
• Whether the user base skews heavily in your area — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.
• Find out how the app handles a report — it changes the experience completely.
• Look at how long a conversation stays available after a match — the answer varies more than you would think.

Before you meet someone

I trialled the free tiers only with a couple of accounts, and it held up across all of them. On the numbers, photo quality on both sides decides most of the outcome. The trend was steady reliably in replies rather than in match counts.
