The app’s matching algorithms may use a personality test, user interest profile questions, preferences, and other questions to create a match. So, understand how the app pares people to help manage your expectations.

It is essential to understand how you will communicate with prospective matches. Some platforms provide robust communication features (video chats, direct messaging, internal email) that can help improve communication.

In summary, don’t get overly excited or overwhelmed by an app’s “bright and shiny” offerings. Consider how comfortable you will be with the offering that best suits your communication style.
