I only worked this out after a month of tallying in my own time, which made the differences much easier to see. The honest answer is that how granular the filters are tends to decide whether you stick with it. It was noticeable again and again in each of the areas I tested. Take it as one data point frankly, before changing anything else.
I looked at this from a few angles without rushing it, and I would do it the same way again. The thing nobody mentions is that how the app handles reports quietly determines how long you stay. The contrast was sharpest more than once regardless of which city I set. Check it against your own case for what it is worth, not what a listicle told you.
I compared several at once without rushing it, which took the guesswork out of it. More than anything, whether notifications can be tuned becomes obvious only after a month.
Where I would focus your attention:
- How the onboarding handles preferences — it matters more after the first month.
- Whether prompts give people something specific to answer — most apps are quiet about this.
- How reply rate compares with match rate — most apps are quiet about this.
- How much profile depth the format allows — worth asking about before you invest time.
