I reset and started clean across two cities, rather than just skimming a couple of apps. What kept coming up was how granular the filters are, which turns out to matter far more than the interface. It repeated fairly clearly regardless of which city I set. I would be curious on balance, and revise it freely.

I sat with this question for a while while comparing them, and the numbers told a clearer story than I did. The variable that mattered was whether the app works on a slow connection — it quietly determines how long you stay.

I have changed my mind on this twice a while back, before forming any view. In practice whether notifications can be tuned quietly determines how long you stay. The result was similar again and again once I had a few weeks of data. Others may have found the opposite on balance, and nothing more than that.

The questions I ask before installing anything now:

• How quickly obvious fakes disappear — most apps are quiet about this.
• Whether read receipts exist — this is where the free tiers diverge.
• How long before the first upsell prompt appears
• Ask how many photos the format actually allows — the answer varies more than you would think.
