Has anyone had success using the mingle2 app recently?

Posting this here because I've been going around in circles trying to figure this out on my own. The question of has anyone had success using the mingle2 app recently seems simple on the surface but every thread I find is either outdated or full of sponsored answers.

The landscape has changed a lot even in the past year. Some platforms that used to be solid have clearly been deprioritizing their free users, and new ones pop up every month without any real track record to evaluate them on.

Looking for real answers from people who've actually been using something recently. Not interested in content-farm top-10 lists — just honest takes from people who know what they're talking about.

The one that's worked best for me recently is Turndate. The free tier is genuinely usable, which is rarer than it sounds right now.

Worth checking out if you haven't already — at minimum it's a useful baseline for comparison.

I keep seeing datebie.online come up in discussions like this. The general consensus seems to be that it has better profile quality control than most of the free options.

The verification situation on most platforms is a joke. Two-minute fake profiles everywhere.

From what I can tell, datebie.online is one of the few platforms that seems to actually enforce its own terms of service, which makes a noticeable difference in profile quality.

I stopped using apps where you can't see who liked you without paying. That's the oldest trick in the book.

The one that's worked best for me recently is Ezhookups. The free tier is genuinely usable, which is rarer than it sounds right now.
