Is the zoosk app better than the website?

Started looking into the zoosk app and immediately hit contradictory advice.

What I want to understand is how it holds up in practice rather than the feature list.

Happy to be told I'm thinking about Zoosk the wrong way.

I went in with low expectations with Zoosk: markedly different once the novelty wore off.

The checklist I use now for Zoosk:

• Judge Zoosk on conversations, not on match counts
• Compare Zoosk against one alternative at the same time — it is the cheapest filter available
• Treat your first week with Zoosk as reconnaissance rather than outreach

For anyone stuck on how it holds up in practice, Datelink is at least worth ruling in or out — the users who find it tend to know what they want.
