Should you download the FetLife App?

If you are already a member of FetLife, there is no question that you should get the app especially that it is free. However, compared to the other dating sites that offer app services, FetLife seems to lag behind. Aside from being available only to limited number of devices, the app is not officially part of the app stores.

To make up for it, the site is mobile-responsive so you can still use it on any browser on any phone that you have.
