Grindr - Gay Dating & Chat Positive Reviews
Does job but here’s how it can be betterThe app gets the job done, although there are some modifications to make it better. Providing users more filter controls to find their person of interest would be more helpful. Giving users the accessibility to find their ideal partner based on position, ethnicity, distance, height and weight helps users devote more time to interacting with their ideal person, as opposed to blocking users for being outside these margins. Also, showing users that are local as opposed to longer distance can draw more users to engage with the app and fulfill the pursuit of finding their person of interest. Alas, the filter setting should converge with other corresponding users. For instance, if a user is looking for someone within a set age range, then anyone outside of that age range should not be able to see that user from their account, unless they are within the age range. If these modifications were made on the non-premium version of Grindr, more users (especially of the younger audience) would be inclined to used Grindr..OfficialFactsnoPrinterVersion: 7.7.0
Terribly unbalancedI’ve used Grindr as a paying customer for many years and it seems like over time the user experience has grown exponentially worse. I think the tipping point was reached with the “who viewed you” feature. I liked that feature at first, but have come to realize that it has a dark side. The platform doesn’t do well at all with matching people based on their interests or compatible traits, and because of that I’ve realized many users have taken to using blocks as a sort of filter. A typical scenario I keep running into is getting blocked by a user I haven’t even interacted with. I might just be looking at their photos and “poof!” they’re gone. My assumption is that they must have seen me on “who viewed you” and then decided to block me. Well, good riddance, but its still a very disheartening thing that happens constantly.
Aside from those problems, fending off creepers is a constant battle. I’d like to spend more words on my profile talking about my interests and the kinds of friends I’d like to meet (yes, I look for friendships) instead of trying to jam into that very limited space what I am not looking for plus maybe a short visit sentence about me. The character limit is infuriating.
With that said, I think this will be my last month carrying an active subscription. I think I’ll prefer a different platform where people actually talk like decent respectful human beings instead of objectifying everyone as hot or not and blocking them accordingly..Josh-in-DenverVersion: 8.4.0
They finally have fixed the problemsThis app keeps getting more and more and more and more expensive. They change the price every six months it seems. I had been an off and o. Paid subscriber for years. They just have gotten too expensive. Their pic moderation seems extremely biased and is not consistent. If you aren’t a twink or muscle guy any pic seems to get moderated. I have screen shot over 280 pics where the pic wasn’t moderated and mine was. Either it’s racial or body specific. I talking to an attorney to see what type of class action lawsuit can be filed for it to either have them consistently moderate or shut the site down. Also seems like an abnormal amount of bots are allowed now and an overwhelming amount of underage guys are on the site another filing I’m working on with an attorney. Chances are that Grindr won’t even respond to this review, but I’d steer away from this site..BromoSLCVersion: 7.22.3
GOOD JOB FOR WHAT?!Grindr and Jack’d are ANALOGOUS for what?Might as well be one app.
Only thing different is the target audience (Grindr: privilege/ Jack’d: Minority),
allowing screenshots within chat (Grindr: Yes/ Jack’d: No)
though in my opinion i think screenshots should be disabled within the whole app itself, but if not at least the profile search page to see who’s nearby out of respect of others’ privacy that they claim they want,
sending pics and videos (Jack’d: yes/ Grindr: only pics but videos gotta be sent live)
and i get the live video from Grindr but wen i wanna feel lazy i just wanna send the video i already got that’s been working just fine to confirm that I’m legit because this black don’t crack,
navigational location dropping (Jack’d: yes/ Grindr: No)
and Grindr drops the location but you would have to type it out unless you have the world map memorized,
and maybe the subscription but that’s sad in itself should jus be one price in my opinion, but we got profit feens.
Other than that everything is cool i mean there’s probably other things i haven’t covered but there are other issues not pertaining to the apps but individuals themselves that may need time to look at a reflection of themselves to reevaluate and I'm still learning this myself. Just gotta take it a day at a time and use your time wisely..La Flo RealVersion: 7.15.2
Needs To Review It’s ModeratorsConstantly seeing approved profiles with front and back nudity and sex acts on the public profile images, profiles stating an underage status through insinuation. Used to report these, then most of these, now it’s “what’s the point?” Many times they’re not banned or the image isn’t removed. And if it isn’t this, it’s users looking for this drug or that one. Badly moderated app. Surprised it’s allowed on the App Store in this state of affairs.
Add to this that there is no verification system. There are spam profiles, catfish profiles, profiles looking to steal your photos. I have found another user constantly contacting people that know me through the app using my photos. He’s done it multiple times with multiple accounts. There is no security or any reasonable protection from repeat-offense users with mal intent on this app unless you just don’t use it. Won’t be surprised if it becomes the next Craigslist personals..Psycho7deathVersion: 7.22.2
Can’t get into account3 days now I have restarted my phone and iPad I have downloaded again same window enter number then I get to many attempts. Customer service reported and they are now not even responding. I cannot enter email address for account it’s the same window when reinstall it every time. I don’t have another number to enter. I can’t get the app to do anything other than enter your number. I have done everything that’s on the web to fix this I have reported is over and over. Customer service doesn’t read the issues I’m having they want me to do things that I can’t do because it’s the Sam screen over and over. What is the fix what do we do about this. I have requested a phone number to talk to a live person and can not get one. I have done everything again now 3 days.Fts1966Version: 7.1.0
One of the Most Fun and Safe apps to meet Guys!Yes my partner and I been using this dating/friend making app for years now and I can only say is that if your responsible smart and very clear with your intentions you no doubt have a great time or simply end the conversation way before meeting that other guy. I’ve also noticed many guys complain about getting thrown off the app site or simply black listed. And then they ask WHY? 🤷♂️😵😭 if your being a bully, or a straight up stocker then people will complain about you and
Make sure they show them the conversation record word by word etc. so be nice present and after getting to know one another well exchange numbers meet up in a public location etc. we’re all adults here at the end of the Day so let’s act like it and have fun with that new friend. 😉.TheRealPrettyBoy2020Version: 7.15.0

Intrusive AdvertisingAdvertising to keep an app subscription free is understandable, however Grindr takes advertising to the next level. Grindr harasses its free members to get a paid subscription by bombarding them with ads in the midst of replying or viewing a message. I’m convinced that the ads are not meant to be relevant to most end users, but rather to annoy them into a paid subscription.
The other thing that Grindr does to its unpaid members that it does not do to its paid members, is that it purposely limits the amount of people you can view who are online and in your proximity and rather shows you people who are offline and further away. The latest app update also brought with it a glitch that shows users to be within a few thousand feet from you when in reality they are a few miles away. I’m not an IT person, however I wonder if those issues are related..Nickname-3000Version: 7.17.2
It’s OkayIt’s an okay app, the safety on it is a bit iffy and although the app IS inclusive of all LGBTQ+ members, my partner (transman) and I (non-binary) face quite a bit of rude and overall transphobic messages. They block us before we can fully report and I’ve only been able to successfully report one person who was EXTREMELY transphobic towards my partner and I. I’m 100% positive he has done it to MANY other trans/non-binary people on here as well. We never knew if the account got banned or terminated and I would love if they add a feature to where they update you about the situation. It would be super helpful. I overall do enjoy the app but I definitely think it needs some fixes such as I said above. I’ve gotten a few occasional creeps and had some scares where someone has said he’d come find me. But I don’t really think that’s the app/creators faults. Otherwise, it’s an okay app! Just needs some fixes! :).AsphynVersion: 8.4.1
Intrusive adsI am fully aware of Grindr needing ads to remain free unfortunately these ads are very intrusive and glitch constantly. It’s almost like the “X” at the top right corner or the close ad buttons are just there for show. You can’t close the ad at all most of the time. I usually have to force close the app to get the ad to go away. Just opening a message or checking who viewed me initiates this ad that literally will not go away unless I close the app! Is that good for you guys? Ads that literally force the consumer to close the app? It can’t be! A lot of times I’m so discouraged by all the ads I don’t even come back after force closing. Again I am fully aware grindr needs ads to remain free but please do better Grindr. I’ve had this app for more than 10+ years and I have never been so tempted to uninstall and try other apps than I am now..MjayytVersion: 8.4.1
Great app but still needs workGrindr has serious issues with typing messages or trying to correct typos. It’s very spastic and doesn’t want to let you put the cursor where you want it to correct things. It also sometimes doesn’t print what I actually type and totally changes words. Don’t know if that an Apple phone software OS issue or Grindr, but it really needs some work. Please! Using an iPhone X. Like the new pic Zoom feature and finger swipe features. Think overall it's really useful and I love it, but the development team needs fixes for the typing issues and the crash issue! Go team... Get it all up to speed!.Dave917Version: 7.0.2
Buggy and slowSince I’ve been on the app, it’s pretty much always had issues but nothing I’ve ever felt the need to write a review for. I’m using the app on latest iPhone and iOS. My phone starts to get very slow and has huge delays in responses whenever I go to type a message. It’ll freeze halfway through, still picking up input, but doesn’t show on the screen. After that starts happening, everything in the app starts to get very slow: scrolling etc.
I’ll try to swipe to my home screen or swipe to close the app and even that gets very slow to the point where my phone will lock more than 5 seconds after I press the lock button.
I felt the need to explain because the experience in the app needs work and it shouldn’t carry outside of the app and into my phones user face..LettervomitVersion: 8.4.1
Profile Photo Upload Time??Anyone else experience approval times that are longer than usual? I emailed support and the response was somewhat indirect and didn’t provide any explanation as to why it would take longer than the expected 20-45 minutes, just that sometimes it does. Well this happened EVERY time with my profile and I’d say it’s happened over the course of the last year or so and with at least 3 different profiles. My app is up to date and my iOS is as well, but support didn’t tell em why it sometimes takes longer. I typically wait at least 2-3 hours.. is the norm? Any specific reasons why? It was like pulling teeth just to get my question reiterated in the end, and then you have to be careful because support tends to be so temperamental at times..Heliosgod24Version: 7.2.0
Server or app issuesI can see that the introduction of new features are good in theory. They seem like useful or good things to add! The problem lies that so often the updates reverse changes and the UI. Don’t have focus groups live in production.
Now the real issue with the current version is that the grid itself is glitchy when scrolling up; it will flicker through different areas of profiles. Only force-closing app will temporarily remedy. Seems multiple bugs in the app.
Server-side, the distance tracking doesn’t always update after pulling to refresh. Earlier last week it wasn’t even able to load Nearby.
Having paid for Xtra makes me annoyed that they’ll have continuous issues and I haven’t seen an app update to try to remedy some of these things..DancinPeterVersion: 7.16.1
App shuts down phone and then can’t accessI am very new to Grindr and since adding the app, the app shut off my phone a random. And then when the phone finishes rebooting, I have had to delete the app and upload again since t won’t reopen once it has rebooted my phone. This happens very often with this app and it’s very frustrating especially knowing I’ve paid fr a service that is very unstable and because I have to delete the app and reload it, I lose all my messages to people that I’ve written. I have it set to auto backup once a day but it never makes it to that backup time and there is no way I’m going to backup after every single message. I get it that this could happen once in a while but not multiple times each day..Chihuahua ballsVersion: 8.4.1
Worst Place You Want to BeFirst of all, it’s beyond ridiculous and obnoxious that you can only use this app in portrait mode. I mean, come on folks, this should be an EASY thing to implement. Scruff does it.
Second, there are more scammers and bots on here than an website or app than I’ve ever seen, which is saying a lot. Some are more sophisticated, but I can spot most of them pretty quickly, now that I’m expecting them. You can’t tell me that they can’t filter more of those. For goodness sake, don’t agree to send anybody money, even if you think they’re local.
One major red flag to start looking for scammers is whether they have their location hidden. Some legitimate guys block it, but it’s a good reason to be on your guard. Again, I get nearly ZERO scammers and bots on Scruff.
Finally, the subscription cost is MUCH more than it’s worth. I understand they need to make money and it costs to maintain, etc. But when they are putting ZERO effort to squelch scammers and bots. I will be canceling my subscription when it renews.
*** If they lower the price by at least a third (for every billing frequency), even if it’s just a sale/special rate, I would gladly subscribe again. ***.HappyPhysicistVersion: 7.7.0

Grindr - Gay Dating & Chat Negative Reviews
HorribleI have been using this app for several years for what this app is used for. Then on the day I decide to purchase a one month membership to get the Xtra features I was banned without notice. I thought it to be a technical glitch so I reached out to the support for them and asked for reasons on the ban and they said all I have todo is appeal the ban. I went a week without word back, and reached out again and again. Then I received a email back that only said that I now have a lifetime ban and that I’m screwed because I purchased it, but better cancel my subscription or they will keep billing me. The only thing they said why I was banned was because of community guidelines. I asked for clarification on what I violated because I had no nudity, no foul language, no in appropriate speech, and as a person I don’t talk bad about other people.
This is a horrible app, if you are doing what you are supposed to be doing. And they are no help in trying to rectify the situation. The language that they used in there correspondence with me makes me feel like I am a bad person, and being punished for something that never happened. I have been warned about random people getting banned for no reason then get excommunicated for absolutely no reason. Shame on the company Grindr, Inc. same on what you do to loyal customers and I hope this prevents you from marking any money off of your next victim. The essential stole from me and now won’t tell me why. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!!!!.Jmanay18Version: 7.15.1
My account got banned for no reason and Grindr support is nonexistentI went to a guys place 15 miles away and when I got there he had told me to “kms”, then proceeded to block me. I was obviously shocked so I decided to warn other by putting his user in my about me and warning others about him. The next day I had found out I had been blocked, I was confused and looked it up. There’s apparently no other way to get your account back unless you file an appeal, so I did. The Grindr support that reviewed my case didn’t care and told me the decision was final. So I just gave up on that account and tried to create a new account but as soon as I was down creating the account, it would say the account was banned. I’ve tried deleting the app, restarting my phone, trying different ways to create a new account, you name it I’ve tried it. All to no avail. I proceeded to reach out to Grindr support team once again but they again told me they couldn’t do anything and pretty much dismissed my problem. I had been getting tired of the app for a while but that just did it for me. What got me was how unhelpful the “support” team was, and how they literally didn’t care about what I had to say or anything. This was two weeks ago and I have not found a solution to my problem and a member of the support team even told me they will not respond to any of my further emails..Q123cartVersion: 8.3.0
Please fix your quality control, Grindr devsThe following is not a helpdesk/end-user problem; it is a long-running QC issue that should not have the buck passed on to us consumers to solve. Pros: The only thing this app has going for it in terms of positive user experience is that there are so many people using it. 1 star for the ubiquity. Cons: Unfortunately, for me, with my iPhone 12, my phone constantly freezes any time I download and use this app. Further, my phone gets extremely hot to the touch, and my battery drains so drastically that I have to charge it any time I’m using this app. These behaviors occur only when I have Grindr running. If I kill the app, my phone is fine. When I delete the app, my phone is fine. I’ve yet to do an iOS restore as a last-stitch effort, but in this nearly Web 3 era and decades of smart phones, how can this one app crash my phone so badly? I’ll tell you: sometimes I can’t even kill the app for minutes; the entire phone becomes unresponsive. Have you read their version update logs? It’s a generic description each time. What are the developers actually fixing with the plethora of versions being released? How about focusing on RAM and CPU usage? Very limited recommendation and I would never pay for it at this point. Minus 4 stars for nearly melting my phone’s internals—I’m guessing it’s the CPU overheating..ChristomapherVersion: 8.1.0
All the reviews are fake!Edit!!!!! I have been reporting fake accounts, I talked to one account and they seemed fake but sent a video showing they was “real”. They send their location and their address. and right when I show up I knock and it was an old couple who said no one young lived there and when I got back on the app it was a fake account asking for a steam pay account. This account stayed up for 6 days before being taken down!!! Someone needs to be taking the owners of grindr to court for this stuff!!
This app is FULL of fake accounts, when they are reported NOTHING happens to them! At all. They upload blurry photos they got off google and then they will tag a location asking for gift cards or credit card info, others will say “tired of this app go here and enjoy” and there’s about 2 of those messages a day. So aside from the HORRIBLE amount of spam and scammers they OVERRRRR charge for a monthly membership..I’m sorry...$20 a month to see who’s 10+ miles away...? Or $20 a month to see who is a top or bottom..like really...? You can buy a Netflix membership for cheaper then they charge just for a few things. (100% not worth that price.) This app is by far one of the worst “dating” or “hookups” app I’ve ever seen. They’re nothing but money hungry and they do not care that their users are being scammed and used..IsnandVersion: 7.19.0
“Discreet” is not a FilterIt’s an abuse of privilege. DownLow Bros have used and misused the Queer community for their own creeping, sneaking, lying, cheating ways. This lack of sexual respect for the Queer community is an effect of the poorly maintained & contained boundaries of the legal & illegal porn industry disgusting behaviors. Guys just want to show off their junk & that they like to cross dress on the low.
Rather than being a man that stands by his word the men on these apps (JUST LIKE CRAIGSLIST personal sections) they have no repercussions or consequences for misusing the label of “LGBT friendly dating app” no this is not. It’s an app the cisgender rich white men built so they can creep on the low with each other and no one has to know. Advertising their spaces for glory 🕳🕳🕳🕳🕳 or 🔩 me in my car. No one has respect for themselves or the people they want to spray their juices all over.
I’ve used this app all over California. San Diego, Sacramento, San Francisco, Palm Springs. All of the just DownLow Bros trying to get off “right now.” No talk, just pants down & see you around. 🤮 Grindr. Discreet is not a filter!!!!!!!!

To be honestApp works well to network. Except glitches can really kill an opportunity. Lost messages sometimes make the other person believe you are not interested- and vice versa. When a regular text comes in on iPhone- the app gets weird. I decline the text- but the app goes offline- and photos and msgs I have sent prior to message notification are lost. Sometimes when I block soneone/ the app gets frozen- I have to turn iPhone off to restart after a long wait- usually 5 minutes. If guys are going to rely on this app- it needs to work correctly. Pics and messages need to be sent and received. Otherwise- someone may become offended that you have not responded to their message- and block you. When I send error reports- when I get a notification- what happens? Do you use this ? Or is it a waste of my time.? Until grinder gets kinks worked out- guys will use several apps at once- and not trust this app. Also- location goes haywire on occasion. Someone who it says is close by- can be in reality be a thousand miles away. I use the app a lot. And wish you had customer service reps available when problems arise. Jg Un.Looking 2Version: 7.12.1
More ads than appEverything was actually great for once, the app worked well, the relentless ads stopped, no issues, then they updated and messed it all up… again. Now the app crashes and you have to reload it to make it work again losing messages in the process, updating profiles doesn’t work, there’s an ad for every single function that you want to do on the app, and an two ads for everything you don’t as well, and you have to hit the back arrow THREE TIMES after sending a message to get back to profiles. Oh and the moderators continue to subjectively reject the same types of photos for me that they will approve for others. But they swear there’s no problem with discrimination and won’t clarify specifics on why photos are rejected because that process is “confidential” and hide behind very vague photo guidelines. 🙄 The only reason it’s got high ratings is they ask you in the app if you’re enjoying it and if so it takes you to the reviews if not it doesn’t. Shady, unethical, annoying, illegal, and tiresome. And bot moderator don’t tell me to reach out for assistance because I have and have gotten no where. F-.OttovonschnitzelpusVersion: 8.4.1
DangerousI’ve had someone use my photos for about a year and each time I reported them and reached out to support the profile would take days to be taken down. That profile also unknowingly harassed some of my direct reports from work which made for a very awkward conversation - something I never thought I’d have to deal with as a manager. Additionally, they actually offer zero support in terms of preventing this type of behavior. I ended up hopping off the app hoping they’d get bored but they persisted.
There is no verified status (tinder has), and no internal system that tracks similar photos being uploaded by other users. It’s actually quite funny that when you post a photo you have a period of waiting where it needs to be approved. Why aren’t people caught at this stage for using someone else’s photos? At a bare minimum if you’re charging that much for ultimate - you need to include some safety features. Ideally, incorporate safety for all users.
App works as intended, but is extremely unsafe to use. There is nothing stopping someone from creating a fake profile using your photos and ruining your reputation..BluefauxVersion: 7.2.0
Trash appGot suspended for no reason, no email and no text to my phone number telling me what I was in violation of. It appears that if a certain number of profiles who don’t like you or are jealous of your profile, the ones you want nothing to with because your 18 and there in their 40s they can report it for no reason and Grindr blocks that account including your cellular number. It makes it so you can’t make a new account which is odd on why they need our number it’s not like it’s uses it for two step verification I think it’s a violation of privacy. I wanted to continue to talk to decent people that aren’t Grindr Karen’s or lurking pedophiles, which seems to be an important issue on this platform that Grindr fails to fix. This will be my last time using Grindr and if this review doesn’t get through to you all you have to ask yourself what is Grindr hiding that they don’t want others to see or know. I was bullied to the point others reported my profile for no reason because I wasn’t interested in them. An got victimized by them and Grindr. I’m waiting for a generic developers response!.Factcheck.Version: 7.19.0
Don't Pay for a buggy appI've never paid for a dating app before. A couple months ago, I decided to give a few a try. While most of them have been great, paid grindr is actually worse than the free version. You consistently have to force close the app for some of the extra features to work (the recently viewed tab for instance). The paid version has a message search feature. This has never, ever worked. In fact, it's crashed the app every time I've ever tried to use it. I don't bother anymore. I recently opened the app and found that the interface had reverted to the free version, as if I had cancelled my subscription (I hadn't). This is the second time this has happened.
The worst part? I've opened tickets about most of these issues. They've never fixed any of them after multiple app updates. They just tell you to force close the app, or delete and re-download it. Anyway, I'll be cancelling my subscription soon, and I wouldn't recommend the paid version to others. You're just paying for a buggy app where the free version is much more stable..Lazarus RileyVersion: 7.2.0
ZERO ACCOUNTABILITYGrindr does not protect its community. They DO NOT uphold their own community guidelines and the photo moderators are a joke. A profile has been reported over ten times for a prominently displayed unobstructed view of an erect penis as its public profile photo. It is clearly pornographic in nature and explicitly banned in the community guidelines. And yet the photo moderators keep letting the user post it. In app reports result in zero action. Emails to the grindr help desk get stock responses claiming the issue has been rectified without addressing the fact they keep letting this happen. They take the photo down then let the user post it up right away. Complaints to grindr go unanswered. What is the point in allowing users to indicate they do not want to receive unsolicited nude photos while simultaneously subjecting them to the same images?!? DO YOUR JOB AND PROTECT THE COMMUNITY. Now cue a stock response from the app developers not actually addressing the complaint….
UPDATE: Developer Response…. Did you even read the complaint? If you will not address the actual complaint why even pretend to respond?.Kossl2000Version: 7.22.3
People using my photos AGAINIt’s happened a few time on this site to where it was brought to my attention that a user was using my photos. Im not even on this site and I haven’t been for years. They do nothing for verification and those using my photos were harassing other users. This is troubling especially in contrast to the work that I do. In the past I have come to realize that, If you use this app, expect to meet those with fake profiles and those that solicit money for sex. Next time I will have to take legal action against the app for defamation if they continue to allow the use of my copyrighted photos. Such apps should not be allowed on the App Store. On all personal sites, no one should be allowed to troll with no photo, no info, or at least with out verification. If these sites used verification, it will end fake users and identity theft. Discretion defeats the purpose on this site and catering to those of discretion causes way more problems then the disallowing of it. It’s a personals site, stop allowing those that hide and watch the app soar..WhoIAm2UVersion: 7.21.0
Bad verification cannot get account backI signed up for Grindr under the unlimited membership and mistyped my email address. Since Grindr does phone verification and also does not send a welcome email, instead of verifying email address and then phone, I was never aware of my mistake. Now I am locked out of my account and I have sent them my photo I’d and my profile pictures and they are not able to restore my account to me after 3 support tickets. I will be talking to the attorney general. I sent in my pictures and my drivers license and they say I can’t have my account unless I know the email address. Why can’t you use the phone that I verified it with. If you can’t give me my account with my own pictures then what hope is there. I called the company and left a detailed message. The system is flawed for sure. It needs to verify your email and your phone instead of just phone. If you sign up make sure you type in and screenshot it what email address you used otherwise if you lose it you are likely screwed..MattyHartVersion: 7.0.0
Crashing issuesIn the last week, my Grindr app has started crashing every time I’ve tried opening it, sending me right back to my home screen. I was a couple versions behind, so I thought upgrading it to the most recent version would fix it. It didn’t. I used a third party program to downgrade my app version even lower to see if maybe it was just a recent bug. Nope! Still crashing as low as 7.17.0. I believe this issue is server sided and nothing to do with the app version.
And despite having chats backed up, attempting to reinstall the app wiped my chat history AND my chat backup. I don’t really understand what the purpose is for cloud backups if reinstalling the app deletes them. Under what other circumstances would someone need chat backups other than having to reinstall the app?
I was in contact with the Grindr help email and they told me this was a bug they were aware was affecting multiple people. I hope they fix it soon, because these reviews are filled with people experiencing the same problem as I am..MyHatRulesVersion: 8.6.0
Wasted potentialI’ve been using this app for a year and it has worked in getting dates its just very hard like because i have to sift through all the people who are hundreds of miles away just to find one thats close to me like the ratio of not far to way too far has to be like 1:15 that’s terrible and there’s no way to stop it because unlike every other dating app grindr doesn’t have a distance limit you can set, and the dumbest thing that always experience when using this app is when I use explore and use my location or a place 20 minutes away profiles show up but most if not all end up being hundreds of miles away, this is so frustrating and really infuriating because such a big problem can be fixed with such a simple solution just add a distance filter to the plethora of other ones that are there and this app would probably be better than every other dating app, but I know that grindr is never gonna fix this issue so honestly it’s just a waste of time ninety percent of the time..Johnathan Tyler Cooper 21Version: 7.18.0
Grindr is grinding itself awayGrindr go ahead and chew your own leg off. You are eating away at your product and customer base and goodwill. You should never have sold out, that’s when you went downhill. Foremost the price. Y’all lost your minds when you thought people would pay your original price for “unlimited”. You squandered those of us who had been paying for “Xtra” on that. I’d go with $99/year but even that is grossly pushing it and forget that $150+ mess you keep angling for. Connection has been better lately but messages are still hit & miss coming through at times. Like how long now have we had instant messaging? Other apps seem to have conquered it a decade ago but you’re still working on it. Also the catfish and the bots on there are out of control but you won’t let people verify themselves and reflect that confirmation in their profiles. Identity and data theft is rampant. The negatives are outweighing the positives lately and you seem perfectly fine with that. Just keep grinding away at yourself..Rolltideguy77Version: 6.36.1
Security risk caused banThis apps support and security are abysmal. My profile was hacked by their lack of security allowing someone to reset my password. Support simply banned me after I was hacked and was no help in me recovering profile and they didn’t even believe that I was hacked until weeks of emails. They just said I know it was you. I lost that account snd had to make a new one but they did not delete the hacked profile. This app is full of scam artists snd drug dealers they do nothing about. The scams are run by the support staff themselves. That’s how they never get banned. My new account was banned for absolutely nothing. I’ve sent three emails which they’ve ignored and filled out the form in support to have ban lifted but all they did was resend a link for me to fill out the same form. So obviously support is just AI software and not a real human. I read online that Grindr net profit from New York City alone is enough to keep the company afloat so obviously why should they care about quality control and keeping customers happy..HeyllewllewVersion: 6.37.0
A basic review.As an 18 year old, this app can be filtered by age, body type, and much more. Throughout my experience, this is not a dating app. I’ve had numerous accounts say they’d love to 🔩 me in my house, car, etc. I’ve had to delete my profile lots of times because of these issues. I’ve also had to move to Tinder because other guys are horny for younger guys. In extreme measures, I have had to involve the police due to a person that stalked me, threatened me and would do bodily harm towards me. I always feel like an object when I use the app. Just because of my body, face, and the clothing I wear. If the app had a verified badge by the name (like Tinder does), the app would be safer to know who you are meeting with. I also fear for my safety as the men on this app are really disgusting. As a person still trying to find my sexuality, this is not an app to download if you want to date. I’d highly recommend Tinder. Overall, not a dating app. It is unsafe. At least for me..MercBenzOWNRVersion: 8.2.0
Bad app, even worse customer service.I was recently banned without being given a reason when I contacted customer support. Not only was my profile banned but both devices I used to login were both banned in their system as well, so I can’t create a new profile even if I wanted to. I know for a fact I didn’t do anything that warranted a device ban. I’ve seen a lot of other trans people mention being banned for no reason other than for being trans and it really sickens me to think that a business like grindr, which is supposed to be inclusive to the LGBTQ community is being prejudiced against some of their customers. Who are these employees that are banning these profiles? Also, I contacted customer support multiple times and didn’t even get a response until a month and a half later. At least they apologized for that part. There seems to be no accountability or answers for unwarranted bans from their employees. I will be contacting the Better Business bureau..Stripped0131Version: 7.3.1
False adsGrindr uses ads to keep the app free. But what nobody has brought up is that these ads make you click them and interact. With you clicking on that screen on those ads you are pressing a yes button to all sorts of other things behind the scenes. After doing so you’ll start to get texts from random numbers that are down right disgusting with links to pages that are just as bad. These ads need to be checked by Apple and I think with a full investigation. These links are to steal even more information and I know for a fact that Grindr is the ONLY way I’d be getting text and calls like these. Awful. Btw they don’t stop even if you block the numbers. Grindr is terrible at keeping up with bans and will also ban you permanently without any warnings or really looking into the problem with the users. Over all terrible app. I wish a company would buy it and take it over. Also this is all coming from a daily user so please take it as you will..Reid FleshVersion: 7.15.1
Grindr Gods continue to ruin appInstead of focusing on real improvements to the app like ridding spam bots once and for all, the Grindr gods continue to screw around with features like tags and age search functions. Instead of allowing their users choice in how they search for compatible matches the Grindr Gods continue to make things harder on their customers.
Focusing solely on the issue of age searches, Grindr Gods have decided that no one will be permitted to search narrowly for users by age ranges any less than four years. The claim according to their customer service agents is that by setting it up that way it allows users to search more broadly for compatible matches. This of course is false because those who have free accounts (who are already limited to _ # of accounts that appear), are now further limited.
If someone aged 19 wanted to find other 19 year olds in their area, they are now restricted from doing so and now can only search within a range up to 23. Likewise, a 35 year old seeking other 35 years olds must now default up to 39. Again, the Grindr Gods claim you get an expanded pool. Actually, the opposite is true because filtering by one year at a time could allow you to truly find more people, even if it at the cost of geographic proximity.
Grindr needs to restore choice to its customers/users instead of telling us what they think is best for us..Ayala's LibraryVersion: 8.2.0
App is garbage, iCloud backup not workingBeyond all the issues with bots, trolls and data theft by the company. I am unable to restore my iCloud chat backup. For the longest time I was actually unable to even load the app it just kept crashing. So I got an idea that eh what would I lose if I uninstall it? I got my iCloud backup. Well apparently something changed with the app that my iCloud doesn’t recognize it as the same app I made a backup from. It instead thinks its a different app entirely. When I check my app history it does indeed show I have downloaded 2 different apps from the app store. My guess is the people at Grindr were tired of trying to fix the bugs that prevented it from working with iOS 14.x and just rebuilt the app in iOS 14.x. But then Apple issued it a different ID that doesn’t match the previous one.
Fix it!! I got hundreds of chats and photos in that backup that I want back!.NDXVersion: 6.37.0
App was good until this recent updateThe app was pretty good before the new changes to the XTRA and Unlimited subscriptions. The major reason why I purchased XTRA was so I can find people of interest who fit my filter searches and be able to look for people a little more outside my area. Now it seems that I am unable to communicate with people of interests if they exceeds the radius I am searching for (either that or the number of profiles XTRA members can view and interact with). It seems silly that this feature was removed from a mid-tier subscription and bumped to a more expensive subscription. I was perfectly content with purchasing XTRA for the price point with that feature but now it seems that we are paying the same amount while losing features. Unfortunately, since this was the primary reason why I purchased XTRA in the first place, I may have to drop this subscription and look for alternative apps..Kenny E.Version: 7.17.2
Get paid version or uninstallIt’s just as useful as Grindr has always been, but now it’s just not worth how many ads one has to deal with to use the app.
When I log in, I can look at one thing before I get an ad... NEWS FLASH: this app is meant to be used by checking in often. If I am just opening the app to check the area around me quickly, why would I be okay with having to watch a Candy Crush ad for any amount of time?
Banner ads and these extremely numerous pop-ups are not the end of it. The user gets notification that someone sent you a message? No— there’s an ad in your inbox. Or two. Or three sometimes. Literally sometimes I have three unread messages in my inbox, I get so excited, and then I open the app and it’s three ads. PLUS if I want to delete any of those “messages” it might trigger a pop-up ad.
Honestly the app just pisses me off when it forces me to watch an ad in the first five seconds of opening the app. Usually it puts me off to where I won’t open the app again for a while. Sometimes I have messages built up for days because the ads only let me read one message at a time.
My advice, it’s only worth it if you pay for it these days. What’s happened to you, Grindr? Are you guys not making enough money?.Jon GeaudeauxVersion: 7.6.0
Don’t waste your timeI know that sometimes as individuals we might feel alone;however, I do believe that we can do so much better than this. The LGBTQ+ Community has floated in this mindset that we are all promiscuous and we cannot keep it in our pants. Nonetheless, I invite you all to prove the people who say those comments that they are wrong. I’m not here to attack this application, more importantly I’m here to let you know that there’s a world out there full of opportunities and possibilities, and we should all be pursuing love, happiness, and self-actualization in more productive, and safer ways. If you want to download this app, go ahead because nobody has the right to tell you what to do and what not; but, I think a good advice is appreciated once in a while. My advice to you all is: BE HAPPY, you are all extraordinary human beings, and you deserve all the love and goods in the world. Have faith, keep moving forward, and never give up..SreyesdVersion: 7.1.0
HorribleAs soon as my xtra membership expired, they banned my device and now I can’t log into my account or make a new one unless I get a new phone. This app has gone down the toilet hardcore in the last two years.
Update: To Grindr!! I have already submitted several ban appeals. Your “customer service” center replied saying they can’t tell me why I was banned, and the decision is final and will not be reviewed again. I’ve since tried and have gotten ZERO response. If you are going to ban someone, at LEAST tell them what rule or guideline they’ve broken, and give them a chance to redeem. There is SO MUCH trash on this app, and here you are banning people who break no rules, and giving them no reason as to why. It seems rather coincidental that this happened immediately after my paid subscription expired and was not renewed…… money making scheme? If you wanna make it better, unban my account. That’ll change my review.Jj55409Version: 7.9.0
Gone down the toilet…My biggest gripe with the app is using it on public WiFi networks. It either can’t connect, doesn’t send messages, or doesn’t load messages, like 95% of the time. Granted I’m aware network admins can block certain apps, developers at Grindr should be making ways to bypass these things a priority if not only to keep users using the app….. the other extremely big issue is the double ads that crash the app, or redirect me to the App Store without any opting out or ignore option at all. Essentially your ads hijack and potentially redirect my device to unknown and potentially hazardous locations on the web that I don’t necessarily want it to go to. Not to mention the. Vulnerabilities that are exposed when this is executed. I’ll change my star rating when the developers address and correct the poor money driven “features” and give the experience back to the consumer where it belongs..PureWasteofSpaceVersion: 7.21.0
Overpriced, Unsafe, Buggy, and abhorrently MonopolizedSo let’s get this straight (lol). You want me to pay $30 every month for an app that continues to produce underwhelming results? Your app constantly fails to update, unblocks people that I have blocked, can’t accurately update to show if someone is online or not, is overridden with fake, spam, and bot accounts, has all key features hidden behind a paywall, and you took away the option to watch ads to view more profiles… all while still continuing to show/push intrusive and overwhelming ads. Not to mention the type of people this app attracts in the community. On top of everything listed above you need to work on the inclusion of all members of our community. This app is a joke, the only reason I continue to use it (more so forced) is because it is the only app people in my area are on.

No customer service!After more years than I care to admit, and having probably paid hundreds of dollars for the unlimited membership I was banned this last week for suspicion that I was underage. Clearly, as a 44 year old man, I am not underage. I followed all the steps listed to appeal the ban, and yet not a single email from Grindr to acknowledge that I had submitted the appropriate age verification documents, nor a reversal of the ban. What’s the point of paying for a service where it’s clear that customer service is of absolutely no importance to them? How hard is it to treat your paying customers with respect by following through? What’s the point of claiming to offer an appeals process if the appeal never gets acknowledged or righted? Can’t express to you enough how disappointed I am in a company who has no problem billing for their service but then offers so little back to its customers!.SeaitrecVersion: 6.37.0
Unable to synchronize chats across devicesMy partner and I used the paid membership for about a month. A key feature it misses, which is elemental for us, is the ability to have all chats loaded automatically on both devices. Even if we manual backup and restore chats, the history won’t appear on all devices. What’s being texted on one device remains on just that device or perhaps on the secondary device that’s used for the same person with the same Apple ID (e.g. my iPad but not on my partner’s iPhone). Because of that, chats are not fluent; in fact, ends up being very annoying and the third person on the chat tends to be really confused. Such feature is offered on most (if not all) other dating apps we have tried. We ended up canceling our membership. Will consider Grindr once this issue has being fixed..MaipedreVersion: 7.9.0

I said on picture you don’t see my face how you can confirm if send my pic or someone else holding that note?! He couldn’t find any answer just kept trying to say that a procedure .

Money stealing fraudsters...TLDR: This app is 2 stars for a reason. Spam bots EVERYWHERE that message you multiple times a day. Huge, annoying, intrusive ads that make the app virtually useless. And customer service that will defraud you out of money. So I bought a year subscription but for some reason keep seeing ads in the app. Contacted support. I have sent them copies of my receipts. They keep asking me to click links that spawn the iTunes Store but then do nothing. The support representatives are condescending and frankly useless. They’ll promise to fix the issue, then never reply, and when you reopen the ticket you get a canned reply telling you to hit “Restore Purchases”. The only reason that Grindr is still operating is their scamming of people out of money for a subscription they’ll never get. DO NOT give these con artists money. You’ll end up having to fight Apple to get anything back..EdgeRegaloVersion: 8.2.0

HackableWhen i was using another app, my phone was bugging for some reason and it was not usual! Then i receive a message on my screen "repair or cancel" i instantly knew this was a hack! I deleted the app and then all of a sudden it came back to normal. Guys don't use this app, it's dangerous, it's not worth it and very expensive! Mostly this will use your personal information and might hack your life! Instead use Scruff, it’s a lot more better..SugarpxpiVersion: 7.15.2
SIGN UP FOR XTRA AND GET NOTHINGPay their subscription fees to be able to do what should be basic functions only to discover that you can't really do much with it. Sign up for Xtra and discover that there is in fact an even more exorbitantly priced plus plan that apparently will allow you to do everything... Or will it? Sorry Grindr, I don't have an Xtra $300 to find out. Don't waste your money. Far better apps out there that serve the same purpose for less money and less hassle..WobblyRobblyVersion: 7.15.1
Hands down worst appIf you love blank profiles telling you off, having people send you fake pics trying to fish for your nudes, and toxic masculinity, this app is for you. Best feature is no way to verify profiles and the amount of spam as a result. Love how the user is pretty much responsible for reporting all blatantly fake profiles since their moderators can’t seem to do it themselves. Onus is on you boys..AllusernameshavebeenchosenVersion: 7.15.1
Getting spammed by unlimited pop up after purchaseAfter I purchased unlimited I am getting spammed by a message asking me if I like unlimited. It has either a Thumbs Up or an X. If I click the thumbs up it doesn’t go away. Since it pops up every time I open the app I’m giving it a -10 star. I wish there was a way to request a refund as the purpose of paying is NOT TO BE SPAMMED by the app on ads. this is a minus -10 stars.Gabbie1977Version: 7.15.1
What privacy?Holy crap have you read Grindr‘s privacy policy? There is no freaking way I will ever use this app again. Shame on Grindr for collecting so much personal information from their users and selling it to all sorts of third-parties. You’re giving away far too much information boys..The_silenceVersion: 7.15.1

PrivacyOne of the worst app in term of privacy! We have now the proof with Jeffrey Burrill. Grindr = lyer !.Hector838Version: 7.13.0
Not goodBanned me for nothing !! I hate this application…. Too much stupidity in this world..Joey LachapelleVersion: 7.13.0
NonsensicalImagine being banned for no reason and my ban is literally for my device , and the customer service team is clearly lacking as their auto generated responses are just to email to appeal a unjust ban which they don’t even reply most of the time just trash, the app is on the decline anyways and soon enough another app will force it into extinction. And they can save the we like to keep our users safe as a black male I’ve been racially targeted on this app more than in person.IzzyinfamyVersion: 7.13.0
This is an awful appHelp centre replies so slow.. never purchase any upgrade its a rip-off and horrible experience with the app over all. Don't try it….ShithleVersion: 7.13.0
AVOID THIS HELLHOLEDon’t even THINK of downloading. It’s not worth it. Save yourself the time and headaches, not to mention there’s an endless sea of scammers, threats, catfishes etc. There’s virtually no verification or safety measures in place. DON’T DO IT !!!!.Miss_coochiVersion: 7.13.0
