Unlike many other negative reviewers' experiences, in the Browse tab, the app DID show me what few local(ish) matches were available. In Spark, they're apparently from the whole country, though maybe further, but I haven't bothered to swipe enough to find out. Seems like few users are active, and none, locally - presumably because chat's locked behind a paywall, and, like me, they're not paying money for an underpopulated, third-rate app. Waste your time on something else. You won't regret it.
