Sounds like it. I’ve used dating apps a lot, and at this point I don’t believe that another dating app is the solution to dating apps. I’ve heard friends and acquaintances toss out their ideas for how to make a better app, but they all seem to ignore one crucial fact: everybody is on all the other apps too, and there isn’t a reserve of more desirable people on some other app. If this app lets me have just one match, that means I’ll just use it for a couple of minutes per day, and then use Tinder once I’ve exhausted its limited utility.

CMB limits you to a few ‘swipes’ per day. To its credit, that keeps it from being an addictive app, but I’ve also had maybe 5 conversations and never a date from it. Tinder on the other hand has allowed me to have all kinds of regrettable experiences.
