Free is a misnomer. Ignores the distance setting for people it shows me. Smaller town, ran out of people to swipe and hides people that have swiped right on me (but tells me how many), doesn't have anyone to swipe for days on end. Keeps pushing for premium service and as an incentive reveals one of my admirers (who is local and swiped right on me a week+ ago). So don't expect transparency out of the matching algorithm unless you pay.
