I’ve been trying a few dating apps recently and I’m still figuring out which ones are actually worth the time. Some have been decent, while others felt like endless fake profiles and conversations going nowhere.

Plenty of Fish has been around for years, but I keep seeing mixed opinions — some people say they met great matches there, while others mention fake accounts and bad experiences.

I’m interested in how the platform is today, since older reviews don’t always reflect the current experience.

If you’ve used POF recently:

• Was your experience mostly positive or negative?
• Did you notice fake profiles or suspicious messages?
• Are the safety features enough?

Some plenty of fish reviews mention POF scams, but I’m wondering if that’s still a real issue in 2026 or just an outdated reputation.

What has your experience been?
