Grindr - Gay Dating & Chat Positive Reviews

Great app but could use improvementsThe app functions well. It definitely doesn’t have as many bugs and crashes as it once used to. They have implemented changes to filters which is nice, but I also do have some suggestions I’d like to see included in the app. I do like how no one can screenshot the albums in your photo, but I think this should just be a general inclusivity for any photo that is sent out. That way we can prevent catfish from creating fake profiles. I would also like to see the race category put back into place. I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a stronger preference towards a certain demographic. I understand that they are trying to be inclusive but people are attracted to what they are attracted to. Just let it be. I’m Hispanic and I’ve met plenty of people who say they aren’t interested in Latinos. They say we have to much of an attitude. It’s a generalization, but I’m okay with it because that person is clearly not meant for me, and I don’t want them apart of my life. I say allow people to select what they like and allow others to judge them for their character. After all, we are all just trying to find the perfect match..951 LatinVersion: 9.3.0

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

Are the Xtra and Unlimited worth the monthly costs?The cost of Xtra and Unlimited use to be fairly reasonable. It has noticeably increased and some may say has even increased significantly. The options to choose from were one week, one month, six months or one year for subscriptions to the Xtra and Unlimited add on options. Additionally and without additional charges or needing purchasing add ons, I was able to see at least the profile pic and view the profiles of those who viewed my profile. Seeing that isn’t allowed unless an add on is purchased. This takes some of the nostalgia and fun out of the app for those of us that may not use it on a consistent basis. Please help me understand the benefits of the Xtra and Unlimited options beyond the displayed descriptors describing them and the associated costs of those add on options that make it worthy of the monthly cost of which a six month membership subscription use to cost. I’d appreciate an explanation easy to understand because as of now, it makes no sense, I don’t see any significant improvements except for the costs for Xtra and Unlimited rising significantly..Enjoyed SkepticlyVersion: 24.0.4

I don’t think the ads are appropriate…Please don’t judge me or think ill towards what I’m trying to voice… all I’m saying is that Grindr literally is a hookup/dating app, yes it’s somewhat of a social app because there’s a minuscule feature that allows the user to set expectations for networking but it’s not like Facebook or instagram on that level of networking. I think the ads should be catered to what the app is. I think clothing ads and lifestyle ads makes sense among other relevant subjects. And maybe I’m just being sensitive but I feel like ads that are for mini games or iPhone games really takes away from how people want to feel when using a hookup app. It’s bizarre and silly to have these ads. It’s almost disheartening. I might try tinder but that’s usually a more relationship leaning dating/meetup app and I’d be just as annoyed to see mini game ads on that dating platform as well. Maybe I’m just too serious or too sensitive idk. Also… even once you get past how long and annoying the mini game ads are, it still bothers me for being so dumb and annoying..JordanXGVersion: 25.5.1

Please helpI went on my account today and saw that I was banned. I couldn’t believe it and then I came into the App Store to write a review on this and saw other people are having the same problems. I did send a form for you to review my account and I hope you will do so, and do so quickly. Believe me, I am a paying member, I’ve been with Grindr for many years, and I can’t believe I have been banned for no reason whatsoever, and I checked off all of the guidelines after reading them thoroughly. I don’t know if there is a glitch in your system at this point in time, but I also just recently renewed my membership like one of the other members who commented that they were banned After doing so. I like Grindr, I hope that I can get you to understand that I did nothing wrong and get my account back. I am not interested in writing a bad review on your company as of yet because I think this is an error. Thank you so I hope you will look at my feedback in a positive way. Frederick. Clear cache. Update... thank you for reinstating my subscription, and I will look forward to many fun times on your site..Fabulous FreddieVersion: 8.24.2

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

It’s really not too badI don’t think Grindr deserves ALL the hate it gets. Sure, there are a ton of bots and scams, but if your IQ is higher than room temperature, they’re so easy to spot. The ads definitely get annoying so I wish they had a bottom (lol) tier price to strictly remove ads for us poverty gays. I’d pay $5 a month for that alone. Really for an app like this, you get what you put into it. If your profile is trashy, don’t complain if your DMs are full of trash. I’ve had a lot of success using the app and made some genuine connections with some awesome guys! All that being said, guys claiming to be 18, 19, 20 scare me sometimes since there is NO age verification on the app. I have started to avoid this age group. This is dangerous for both underage young men who are no doubt using the app and for everyone else using the app. All it takes is proof of picture ID to end this phenomenon which countless other apps already implement. I’m certain that if Grindr’s parent company doesn’t implement some sort of age verification, we will be seeing a huge lawsuit come from either a government or as a class action..NobamallamaVersion: 8.20.0

Warning about GrindrWhat I want to say about this app that I really love Al lathe great people love have met and spoken to in it, the problem is that way too many people flake on the app or do not respond to you quickly so there’s a tendency to be somewhat upset and stressed out when you are on the app due to people playing games and making what you want to happen whether it’s a date, an interesting chat talk, hookup, and so on not happen and it leads to unhappiness and just stress. So if you download Grindr, know that you will have to have tough skin dealing with people like that cause it will have an effect on you 9 times out of 10. The stress and anxiety might come indirectly, but somehow, flakers have a way of affecting people by not meeting the need you are looking for on the app. Some people want to be in a relationship, want to hookup, go on a date. It’s hard to do all those things if I people are flaking and are leaving you with no response to the chat that is started. It’s so upsetting and stressful man!!!!.Xavier_The_XmanVersion: 8.19.0

Best App to Meet Transgender WomenAnd fir Transgender's women to meet men. I have been using Grindr for several years now and i love it. i have trued many other apps that say they are better but it's all lies. Nothing is better or even come close enough to even be considered as comparable. There's really no competition because Grindr has all the bases covered: U can video chat verify to prevent Cat-Fishing, which is is a huge time saver. U can see who's close by and try to start a conversation. Exchange pics and send your location. I like how grindr really takes measures to prevent harassment and allows you to report and block people that may be bullying or if you simply just don't want to talk to them. You cant go wrong with grindr. there are so many options if u get the Extra or Unlimited subscription you can go beyond what's around your immediate area and it allows you to see the typing status of someone youre chatting with and even unsend messages and become invisible online..Valley TS KellyVersion: 9.17.0

Do not subscribe to this appI have been using this as a unlimited PAYING MEMBER for about 6 months now and in the past 6 months I have been suspended or banned for absolutely no reason because on this app if someone does not like you all they have to do is click a button to report you that’s all it takes for you to get suspended or banned then you as the paying member has to go back-and-forth through email forever to get answers. They have banned me and suspended my account four or five times each time I wait and wait until they finally respond and fix my account, this time I’ve gotten no response they will not give a response or any feedback of what happened two or three days into the month after they got their $40 and now I’m stuck with nothing so please pass this around social media as I am going to so people are aware of this and if you read other reviews you will see others saying the same thing.Luke Bryan 2023Version: 24.3.4

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

This App Is UnfairI appealed my ban over and over again because somebody keeps reporting that I’m swearing when I did nothing at all. I finally got banned again but i justifying myself when someone else started calling me names for no reason just coming out of nowhere and texted me and threatening me so I had to protect myself and push them back from swearing at me constantly. So grinder I don’t know I’m still banned for life when I was trying to protect myself from a hostile user I never met. Even when I blocked them they still kept coming back by making a new account and kept swearing at me what am I supposed to do just stand there and block them again. I honestly apologized for all my bad actions even though I did nothing wrong and people keep accusing me of nudity when alot of people post there whole body or they’re half naked bodies on this app. Grinder please fix this problem and please fix my account from being banned..ChilledMochiVersion: 9.17.0

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

Works when it worksI’ve got the paid version and I backup chats regularly to my cloud, I’ve never had chats disappear like others have. For many many months now, I’ll get a notification that I’ve got a new message or tap and when I go to open the app, the taps or messages never appear. I have to force close and restart the app and only then do I see what’s new. Sometimes I won’t see anything until I check it the next day. After the most recent update, now the app won’t even load at all, it just sits on the load screen forever. I tried offloading the app, restarting my iPhone, redownloading the app and there is no change. I’m really not understanding why these issues are cropping up, makes me think they’ve got software engineering or cloud issues, I don’t see how this could be a user device issue since it’s so widespread. I dont know what else to do but just hope they roll out another update tomorrow that will fix the loading issue at the very least..ShanoMac87Version: 24.3.1

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

Wrongly banned, Harassed, with no explanationI have been using the app for years since I’ve turned 18 actually I’m 23 now every year even a couple times a year since I turned 18 I have been harassed banned restricted had to verify my age had to prove that I’m not a fake account had my information blasted on their app from other users. Have had people pretend to be me wrongly being reported and the list goes on. But have a peeled every time and was always right when I appealed and was able to get access again but now for some reason, they won’t tell me why they banded me or what I have done to be band. won’t give me access to my data so I can see what I’ve done wrong. I have every email still from having to prove who I was and everything from all the bands before. To even be told that they would put my email under a special tag so I wouldn’t have to deal with this anymore and was given a free month subscription for compensation. To now getting banned appealed waited for a response to be told that they can’t provide me with any information and and to leave my band on. I am just really upset because I did like this app but since they keep harassing me and keep banning me and after how many times approving, I have done nothing wrong to be permanently banned. I’m writing this bad review because of that and I will be taking all my information to my lawyers for being lied to and harassed for six years. If they don’t figure it this out..Huntress lambVersion: 24.7.1

Do not pay for this appThis app is so glitchy even if you pay for it. I am not out and live in a small city. I pay $40 a month for Unlimited so I am able to use the “Incognito” mode and not be seen. Two days ago the app stopped letting me use any of the Unlimited functions so everyone was able to see my profile when I logged on. By the time I deleted my picture it was too late. The grindr developers need to fix this, it is not only unacceptable but it’s dangerous. Grindr is outing people with these glitches. The developers need to ensure that this doesn’t happen. It’s unacceptable when they’re charging almost $500 a year to use the additional “features”. Another other thing that happens even if you pay is Grindr STILL has pop-ups. $500 a year is not enough. They keep begging you for $8 for a “boost” and your inbox is full is “sponsored” messages. GRINDR IS GREEDY. They don’t care if they out you or if you already pay $500 a year for the app. They only care about your money. No matter how much they charge for it they are still going to have pop ups and want more money for a “boost” or some other gimmick. Absolute garbage. “Ad free” is a scam. *Edit* I stopped paying for the app to see what the free version was like. The answer is… absolutely unusable. Ads every 10 seconds. If you set certain filters you can only see 4 people. Trash. I hope everyone jumps ship to something better. Sniffies from here on out. ✌🏼.GpnuserVersion: 24.0.4

Safety is not a commodityI’ve downloaded and deleted this app several times over the years, my only issue: the safety. Users must PAY for SAFETY FEATURES. I understand the need to monetize, but there are other ways - host member only community events. Prioritize member profiles in the grid. Something, anything, but safety. Why can I not delete an address I accidentally sent? What if that person actually comes to my house or stalks me? It happened. Why do men who have had accounts deleted or removed for harassment have so much access to the app, the ability to create seemingly unlimited accounts? Grindr is transparent about their non liability in safety policies but I expect more for my community. Safety cannot be guaranteed, that is a given in any space online or physical. But why is dangerous behavior permitted? Why must I, a struggling college student, pay $20/month for access to basic safety features I can find in any other social media platform? Especially in the current climate of violence towards LGBTQ people, to trans people facing disproportionate amounts of violence. I come back to the app occasionally because I like to emphasize my effort to be a part of the community, connect with people I feel seen by and safe with in a world I already see as so dangerous to people like me. I want the community. But I’m disappointed time and time again to see Grindr devalue their users, violate and capitalize our right to safety..Disappointed community memberVersion: 8.20.0

Banned for no reasonI’ve always heard of this app on one big platform just as TikTok never considered getting it cause it didn’t seem real and every video I came across seem like bait This year I’ve lost hope in finding something real but I went through many apps and I was like hey why not install this one so I did. It had me at first make account post a couple pictures boom paid features but I ain’t let that get in the way I still proceeded to use the free side of the app to find people the texts were flowing through I responded to some and others I ain’t feel as comfortable responding to cause off the rip “ let’s meet” all this big sexual gestures but no greetings such as “hey” “how are you” one day outta this week I go into the app and it’s say I’ve been banned for violating the community guidelines which I am so confused to why I did I even searched multiple videos to see what could I’ve possibly do no harassment no slander no discrimination what so ever everyone that swiped up I either responded or kept it pushing if I didn’t feel right bout how the chat started I’ve tried to make a new account day by day and it’s banning them before I could even put a picture up and I’m confused as to what could l possibly cause all of this cause at this point I’m over the whole online find a mate,friend ,lover stuff cause this experience is by far the worse and I refuse to ever experience this again.Userrrrrr356Version: 9.8.1

Will ban your account and ability to create any other accountsI’ve given this my utmost effort, and really did not want to give a bad review. The Grindr support team is not very helpful, and has not responded to me in almost a month after a 4-month battle to try and get my accounts back or restore my ability to create a new account and use the app. I was banned in March of 2022 and instantly reached out to support with an appeal, with my main profile being unbanned. However, was told that I needed to submit an appeal to all of the accounts I had, which was one other account through my Apple ID. After submitting a second appeal for my Apple ID account I was required to know the date of creating my account, which was unknown to me since I had not used it in a long time. I was told that there was nothing they could do since I did not know when I made the account and have since not received an email back from my email sent on June 10th, 2022. It is July 4th. This all sprung from a claim that I was underage even though I had sent pictures of my drivers license to prove it, which apparently isn’t enough. I’m still unable to use the app whatsoever or create a new account without an instant ban. I’m not the only person with this issue, and others have had this issue even after purchasing a subscription and completely losing the money. Beware..Broken BevanVersion: 8.12.0

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

A car crash of an appThe company must want this app to be the worst possible version of itself in the worst ways. Locking nearly every feature behind a paywall and pushing ads at every possible corner would make you think that they are trying to pay for the development of a functional app. The reality of it is is that this app is broken at its core now and the user experience is the worst I’ve seen from an app of this nature. The messaging system is broken now most of the time. Constantly getting false notifications for taps and messages only to find that there’s no new activity; my own messages being marked as “new message”; photos failing to load constantly; messages failing to send; UI elements vanishing from the home screen randomly forcing an app restart to get them back; bios are now randomly cutoff; and so much more. Aside from just the technical issues, there’s also the bots issues. So many bots that run rampant on the app. Please implement some form of verification system that doesn’t involve using just a phone number. Tinder and bumble have verified profiles that allow users to submit photos for verification. At least do that to reduce the fake profiles and catfish. So much work needs to be done to make this a usable app again, but right now it’s just absolutely broken..StuhtingrayVersion: 24.5.0

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

Please stop pushing “boost” down our throatsIf we pay for a membership one of the “benefits” is no ads. So why is Grindr hitting us with popups, chat messages, and even ads in the grid view of people online? Its spam. You’re spamming your own customers! And dont get me started on “taps” which is not working correctly and hasnt for some time. Someone taps you and you get a notification yet when you go the “tapa” tab there is nothing there so you don’t know who tapped you. Sometimes it will show up days later. So grindr can work on creating new ways to spam us with “boost” messages but cannot fix issues with their app. One makes money, one costs money. I’m all done when my membership expire. Update: Today, after an update, I tried s to open grindr and the grindr icon appears and a yellow stripe spins around it. Finally it says “please reinstall the grindr app from the app store”. Are u kidding me? So lose all my favorites, chats, blocks, and i dont even remember my email and password because its been years since ive had to put all that in. This app should be banned for how criminally broken and useless it is. I have to laugh because the update notes for grindr said the update was to fix bugs and more connections”. They cant even write a proper sentence and this update has TOTALLY broken the app!! Its unusable!.Ju388303Version: 24.3.1

Not inclusive of trans womenFor a dating app that states they cater to the LGBTQ community, they don’t really care for transgender women. I used Grindr a lot prior to my transition and never had an issue. Fast forward 5 years later and now a post-op trans woman I decided to try it out again and my account was banned after a few weeks on the app. When I reached out to appeal my ban, Nathan from “Grindr Support” stated that the decision was final, there’s nothing that can be done, and that they would not be responding to any further inquiries about my account. Even though I express to them that I didn’t care to know “who” reported me, I more so wanted to know the reason of my ban for example what exact term or condition did I “violate” to get banned? Being that I didn’t lie about who I was, I never offended/disrespected anyone, nor used fake info, my profile was the cleanest profile on that app. There are some that have their bare bottoms as their profile pics, sending endless inappropriate pictures/messages, and even some literally offering money for sexual favors…..yet, I was the one that got banned. It felt like they didn’t even bother to look into it or actually try to help. At this point I’m getting BIG transphobic vibes. Tinder was a lot more helpful about this issue, I just wish Grindr was the same, but anyways Happy Holidays everyone!.CatalinaOharaVersion: 8.22.1

More and more wobbly and now brokenThis is pretty much a must-have app but they seem determined to drive it into the ground. Taking away free features one by one is their prerogative but they’re breaking the app. Ads pop up while you’re writing a chat response and you have to start over. I frequently review and delete old chats and taps; instead of keeping my place in the list it now jumps up or down and I have to find the same item to delete it. In a conversation, a response I type often doesn’t appear in the chat window until I exit the conversation and reenter. Rinde That’s all annoying. I always hope an update will make things better but the opposite seems to be true. Today's update broke it altogether: now the app doesn’t open at all. On one try I got a message to get the latest version from the App Store but that was the version that got the message. I’ve tried opening it from my list of completed updates, from the App Store, and from my phone screen and their mask icon just spins without opening. Congratulations, Grindr—you’ve killed your app! Last update: I can no longer see profiles in Messages. Can’t see who I talked to before, can’t see who’s messaging me today. Can’t block or report problem accts..Santa Cruz JoeVersion: 24.7.0

Joke.I’ve been on Grindr for a long time now, probably for 8 years now, and I’ve seen the fluctuations with the user interface and the development of it being a subscription app. With said development, I can understand the desire for the company to make a profit, however the current state of the app is the worst it’s ever been. Messages won’t load, and even if they do load, there would be three notifications letting me know “DTFDOMDADDY tapped you”. (I made sure to double check all settings to see if I made an error for this too but no). It’s hard for an app to rely on conversations and it’s the most tedious aspect of it. But even before you message, the free version of the app keeps getting limiting and limiting with how many people you can see on the grid. Then when you see someone on the limited grid to message them, an advertisement (for me it’s those stupid mobile game ads) that completely distracts me from that conversation I wanted to have. One might argue that hey, maybe you just need to buy premium! Or I think in terms of this app, XTRA. But I’m sorry, I’m not paying money to be able to hold a conversation, I can just go to any social media for that. It’s just really sad to see the state of such an iconic gay dating app not be elevated to the status it should be..Aloy the Machine HunterVersion: 24.1.1

Zero starsI took a chance and subscribed to Xtra, which had some ok features. But once I cancelled that, and went back to the free version, I had MORE LIMITED access. BEFORE I bought the month subscription, I could explore and chat with THREE people per day. After I came back to free again I can only chat with ONE person. I noticed I can now views LESS profiles than I could before. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE UNLESS YOU PLAN ON PERMANENTLY STAYING THAT WAY. Also, they changed it so if you use one of the free filters like “age” or “online now”, you get a much more limited list of profiles, which actually defeats the purpose of filtering them!!! Not to mention people who have blank or multiple profiles, or people seeking trans partners, or even straight women now using the app to search for straight men - you NEED more filters. I’m not looking for trans partners nor am I trans, I’m definitely not trying to meet straight women, so there should be filters so we aren’t taking up space in each others fields. Having to block profiles more often than I chat with anybody is so exhausting. They keep making this app more useless and it’s hard enough meeting guys these days since these apps killed the dying gay bar scene. Use Scruff or Sniffies at least they aren’t bombarded with nonsensical video game adds and bot profiles..TimothylaskeyVersion: 24.9.1

I don’t get itSo Grindr can be a convenient tool to have and use which is why I have it. However it is not without it’s issues. It will freeze up and lag like nothing I’ve ever seen, and it also makes my phone very hot to the touch and zaps my battery life faster than running a navigation map. As of today it just popped up requiring an update which said mentioned bug fixes and more connectivity. So I’ve done the update and after being on the app, what did I get? A freezing app on a hot feeling phone. Before anyone questions if it’s my phone itself, I’ll say now that no other apps have that result on it. So no, I don’t believe it’s the phone. It only happens when I run Grindr and it’s every single time without fail (that’s no exaggeration). I can close it completely off and wait a minute and reopen and it’s good to go for another 15 or 20 minutes and then I have to close it again (because of freezing/lagging, phone too hot, no battery life left). So I’m confused as to what the update was for and why that can’t be straightened out. Anyone with the app knows they sure run enough ads on it nonstop that you’d think they’d have the revenue to line it out. But what do I know..WhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyVersion: 24.12.0

Grindr!? - OOOOONF! - Do better!!You know what made me not want to pay for premium on this app? It was the fact that when I had it, still I would get the “boost” notifications for no actual benefit other than just a pat on the back for the CEOs who own this app 🙄. I used to love this app and it sometimes still has its benefits, but I just don’t understand why it ever would cost as much as they are charging when the cons far outweigh the pros of this app 💸. The CEOs aren’t even a part of the community, 🤡 they just claim they hire people from the LGBT community, suresure 💅🏼. Let’s see them bump that money they are charging for subscriptions down to a reasonable amount and Grindr will finally be seen as a useful app for the LGBT community, instead of a leech on it. But the CEOs don’t actually care. I can see this application go way of the dodo 🦤 very soon if good changes aren’t made in full-jest. People will pay only for so long before they question the true value of what it is they are paying for, once that happens everyone will realize they are overpaying for something that should essentially be free with how many ads play on a near per-second basis. If you ask me it is relentless price gouging and isn’t that technically illegal and exploitative? Hmmm 🤔.Cody.CakesVersion: 24.3.4

Underhanded Advertising PracticesI hate this app for numerous reasons. Chief amongst them, however, are their nefarious advertising practices. Open the free version and you, theoretically can click around the grid immediately, right? Instead of opening to an ad, which you can expect, if you immediately start clicking on the grid there’s a few seconds lag in which you are already touching the screen/talking someone when all of a sudden an ad appears and you misclick it by accident. Grindr knows you hate these ads and are just waiting for the “skip ad” button to appear (barely legible though it may be). In order to make it look like there’s higher traffic to their advertisers’ frankly laughably bad sites/games/whatever, they make it appear at a point they know you’re already clicking on the screen and are more likely to tap the ad which suddenly opens up 3 new windows prompting you to download (and sometimes even pay for) whatever the latest candy crush rip off is. At first I thought oh this app is so glitchy, but they’ve had ample opportunity to resolve this clearly unfair and likely illegal tactic and simply have not. I would like to see Apple/FTC or whoever take action on these predatory advertising practices..CFlinn92Version: 24.1.2

But why thoughSeriously grindr how dare you take away even more from the free Version now I can only explore one profile a day, I can't look at my taps from more than three hours ago, on top of that I can't even look at my Messages through the message tab I have to go through an extensive amount of effort and favorite anyone who sends me a message because the app crashes as soon as I go to my messages this has been getting progressively worse and worse ever since you started the chat back up overhaul I understand the need to make money but with $260 million in revenue for the full year of 2023, with an operating income of 55 million I think you guys make more than enough money that perhaps you could lower the prices to something actually affordable you say it costs less than it daily cup of coffee I don't believe that to be true I make my own coffee at home and pay roughly $.17 a cup if that if the goal was to did your loyal customers into using a different Apps trying other websites Great job hopefully you can manage to fix this problem before I really do get rid of the app Warmest regards, Your soon to not be loyal customer..Zero X SigmaVersion: 24.4.0

Tooo much commercial and endless upgradesDear developers, owners or whichever company running this app! I got a question: Why do you making us to upgrade this app literally every couple of weeks? To install more pop up adds and nonsense options? And even without upgrade I can’t use the app so you’re forcing us to do that, how so? And what’s the point of these endless updates? Does this app gets better? No, not at all, but it getting worse - pop up adds/commercial after every 1-2 minutes of using this app and now you installed your super distracting and annoying adds in our chats?! Do you understand this is totally not normal, now it’s hard to see the actual messages. Remove that, asking you nicely. I was pretty much happy with this app years ago and would love to stay on that old version without any no-needed options but no, you keep upgrading it. We don’t need your new features, all we need is simply send messages and pics and receive it from the other person and that’s it! But no, now we’re fighting with your endless pop up adds and 70% of the time spent on Grindr we trying to close your adds and re-load the app. Just make this app paid for everyone then, right?.Arneman69Version: 24.17.1

An IT disasterWhat a joke this app is. It’s been a technical mess for over 15 years now. It was so bad that at one point they had to make everyone download an entirely new app and delete the old one. They have the nerve to charge $20-$100 for premium membership when they can’t even keep messages from deleting themselves. Every other message is from a bot despite human verification?? Now albums aren’t even loading and my messages delete 10 minutes after sending them. What are these people doing with the money their customers are spending??? It’s definitely not being spent on making their app better!! You’d think things would’ve improved since they went public but it’s actually getting worse!! The ads are ridiculous and crash the app almost anytime you log on. THEY ALSO ALLOW LITERAL SCAMS TO ADVERTISE ON THEIR APP. They also have these pop ups for purchasing premium in spots you frequently touch on screen so that you accidentally purchase premium.. especially if you have face/Touch ID for App Store purchases.. this feels very scammy. This is the worst app in the history of apps and frankly should be investigated by the appropriate government agencies for deception and fraud..Mikael_MVersion: 24.5.0

App has bogged down processor from ads.The app use to work great for me but over the last year there has be multiple bugs in the updates that make the app no longer user friendly. The refreshing location does not work. Chats don’t send properly. Right now I can’t open profiles of people and an error comes up when I send taps. I tried clearing the catch and redownloading the app and problems still exist. Also all of my other apps work fine when this one is not, and when I’m on Wi-Fi it also has bugs but they are less. I have been on line and it seams everyone is having trouble and there keep saying it just our cellphone service is weak. It’s is more likely that their system is overloaded with the bombardment of ads and is slowing down the processor. None of these problems happened before the increase in adds ever 5 minutes that you have to click through 3-4 screens to close. I most like will be deleting this app soon because of the bugs. And from the comments online from Grindr it seems they have no plans on fixing it and just blame the cell phone service..LpierichVersion: 24.5.0

Waited forever still never verified re appeal and I can prove I’m not lying about my age!!I can show my id is correct but they have put a auto close request under my email request forms since I sent the wrong id form but I asked the agent if I could use this as a general reference and they didn’t wish to answer until after I submitted it but it’s the same info as the incorrect form I can prove just need to get a response by a new person to review this please let me know what I can do need this to be resolved and reviewed again one account was unbanned and others are still connected to the same info! Dealt with the same issue on and off I was told one of the accounts got unbanned after I uploaded correct form of id but the others sent before still have been not responded because one agent put auto close request on it now they say can’t verify I’m over 18 this needs to be check in to immediately I was told by a diff customer service rep that I can get second review after upload appeal again but the previous agent put the account non auto close request this need to be checked now I’ve been waiting almost a whole year now with no help!!.Spencer stcskawVersion: 24.9.1

May as well rebrand your name to “Greedy”With each update, you get less and less options for free users, and soon it will be unusable, unless you pay. While I don’t mind paying, these prices are far too steep for what you get. Not to mention you might drop $80-$100 only to find you’ve been banned shortly after with no explanation as to why. (Yes developers, I’ve seen your responses to other reviews on this matter, but I know too many men in my own circles that are evidence to the contrary. Bottom line is your moderation system is terrible.) Speaking of my own circles, no one ever has anything good to say about this app. They just treat it like a necessary evil they have to put up with. I’m beginning to seek alternatives, and encourage others to do so as well. I would rather pay for a platform that provides me with some kind of benefit to do so, not because I feel like I’m being squeezed in a vice and have no other choice. Just keep in mind, it’s a slippery slope. The more unusable you make it, the less users you’ll have in your base, the less likely users will see value in paying for anything no matter what the price is at that point..A.neallyoVersion: 8.14.0

Too many CatfishGrindr is great for meeting new people and making friends with queer people in your proximity, but it’s also an excellent environment for people to catfish each other. Nothing is more frustrating than thinking you’re having a conversation with someone only for them to suspiciously ask for your number or email, or “WhatsApp” so they can scam you too. These people are very quick to block you if you show any sign of suspicion, so I’ve learned to gather enough information, and report them before confronting them. These kinds of people make me feel disgusting for engaging with them. I now must reverse image every new person just to trust who I’m talking to. This is a bad sign in my opinion. I want to have normal conversations with real people - not scammers, and not people looking for lewd photos for a quick “fix”. I have reported a dozen catfish in the last two months, and I have complained directly to grindr in my reports about this. I want Grindr to be aware of this problem, because it’s a counterproductive and toxic to a healthy queer community. Thank you for reading this..Kaleb LePageVersion: 9.12.0

Endless software glitches.The app appears to collect new software glitches as time goes on rather than correct the old ones. Every update adds new glitches. Currently, you can do a search selecting “online now“ and you get people who have signed off 16 hours ago. A year ago I told the app representatives about this problem and they acknowledged it. The problem is they never do anything to fix it. That’s just one of the endless number of glitches. The new problem is that already read messages keep appearing in the unread messages column. Also, I bought an upgraded subscription but still don’t get all of the functions because they have so many different tiers of subscription that simply paying for an upgrade doesn’t guarantee you all the functions. Finally, when you the app representative of the problem you normally get 1000 different questions and directions on what you should do to fix them none of which ever work but all of which are designed as stall tactics by the company. Too bad so many people use this app, it’s a miserable experience..MikeinlatooVersion: 24.6.0

Catering to the hot onesI can’t blame the app for this but I can blame the developers for allowing every white male to break the conditions and rules of Grindr. How many times do you see a white male in his underwear with the lining of his penis? (All the time) or any other “attractive” male. If any other race or person does that their picture is immediately removed. The culture that Grindr calls “inclusive” is the exact opposite. Grindr has been the worst experience when it comes to advertising of sexiness in races and culture. The LGBT community and the rest of the world as a whole is also to blame for this lack of consideration. Downloading this app was one of the worst decisions I have ever made in my life. Grindr and its developers are out to take our money and that’s it. The subscription prices are out of hand, and the amount of ads you see are insane. Scruff doesn’t force you to watch an ad to satisfy their ad experience. There are also more features and more people to see on Scruff. Grindr has been around longer yet fails to evolve into a more developed platform. The amount of times the app crashes or slows a device down is immeasurable. Fix it!.ClownfestVersion: 8.19.1

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! Update: App ever since iOS 16.1 has been worse. Now it just constantly says “Unable to refresh” and my friends tiles show them as offline thousands of miles away when I know they aren’t. I hope this gets fixed!.NDXVersion: 8.22.0

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

This app belongs in the garbageMuch like my profile no one will probably read this review. The app has somehow become even more terrible. Ads that can no longer be skipped, hiding ALL features behind paid subscription. It won’t be long before the “free” version of the app isn’t free anymore, I’m already paying you with my time spent viewing ads and being force fed them in between chats. This most recent update reduced the number of profiles you can view with tags to 3! It used to be 9 which was, barely, tolerable, but now they limited it to force you to sub for xtra (added bonus if you block those 3 profiles, it doesn’t load additional profiles anymore). I already use scruff primarily since at least it’s free version isn’t hot dumpster fodder like Grindr, but come on, you guys innovated this, your app was novel for so long, but you caved to greed and are trying to monetize every square pixel. Your business model is trash, and isn’t helping the community like you may think it is, you’re just taking advantage of an already marginalized group, the last thing we need is our own kind fleecing us..RidtmVersion: 9.7.1

Give us new featuresThe app use to be better they took away some features . We use to be able to select the exact age we were looking for . But now there’s like a 4 year gap in between ages for example I can’t just be looking for 25 year old to make my search easier I can only do 25-29 , and there’s also no race filter feature and no it’s not racist to be looking for a specific race , that’s just someone’s preference , but there’s a weight filter, height filter, body type filter , lowkey the unnecessary filters I feel like race is someone biggest preference more then someone’s height lol. I can’t even have multiple albums anymore Atleast not for free ..one for my 🍆 pics and one for my 🍑 pics and one for my face pics they use to have this option free . The app literally downgraded it self by taking away some features and making you pay for some and the fact that bottoms can show their whole nude 🍑 on their profile pics but tops can’t even use photos of their print in their shorts is very bias . Please do better lol ..ThepersonwholeftareviewVersion: 9.0.0

This app is terrible and predatory against the LGBT communityI get messaged by a scam bot every single day I use this app. The app is always buggy and messages fail to send constantly, requiring you to restart the app every single time you open it to begin with. Most useful features are locked behind absurd paywalls as if anyone would willingly give this company $40/month to gawk at men further away from them. The culture of the app is insanely dangerous and predatory towards younger gays, with very little restrictions/precautions on interactions with alarmingly large age gaps. The moderation is terrible - people catfish you all the time and there's nothing stopping anyone from sending you unsolicited nudes if you explicitly don't want them to. This app only exists to profit off of the queer community and the struggles we have with finding sexual/romantic partners in the real world due to underrepresentation. What's worse is that the CEO refuses to take responsibility for this app's nature and would rather attempt to start a new one for straight people less focused on sex. Unbelievable. Please stay away from Grindr if you can..Im_voxelVersion: 24.5.0

FORCED UPDATESThey are FORCING you to update. With every update there are less and less guys on your feed and access to les and less features. They constantly limit your feed and create blocks with the explore feature. Its bad enough you have to watch the ADS after every message, they do everything to inconvenience you, waste your TIME, just to corral you into buying premium when you are simply trying to connect with a few people on the grid. If I cant see all the guys in my small town within a 5 mile radius, theres something WRONG with that! Its ALSO discrimination against low income individuals, people of color, and minority communities. especially when they REMOVED the feature that let me find my own people, you cant search by “race” anymore, so if you want to connect with your own people, GOOD LUCK! I shouldn't have to use the EXPLORE feature just to find my own people, and even with that they limit you to 3 “free” searches per day. They basically gentrifying the digital space, so if you poor and cant afford premium, guess what, you miss out!!!!! 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽.The ReaIestVersion: 8.17.0

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

Stay away if you want to keep your sanityThis app very much feeds, thrives and amplifies all the worst of the gay and broader LGBT community. Unless you’re cis, skinny, muscular and white be prepared for constant ridicule, insults and vitriol being thrown at you in the most unprovoked ways. And if you’re black, trans or are a member of a minority group in general be prepared for constant objectification. The people on the app not only makes you feel bad if you aren’t in one of those groups they also go out of their way to waste your time. Most people on there have zero clue what they actually want or just thrive off of making you annoyed. Not to mention the people who start arguments with you for simply pointing out their hypocrisy. Frankly what makes this app even worse is that it is the only solid place to meet anyone in the community. The people who run it are fully aware of this so the incentive to want to change dynamics on the app is non-existent.

Grindr Has Become Unusable Due to the Incessant AdsI understand why developers include ads in the free version of their apps—everyone needs to make money somehow. But wow, the number of ads on Grindr has gotten completely out of hand. It’s reached a point where the app is basically unusable. You can barely navigate or have a conversation without being bombarded by pop-ups, banners, and video ads that take over your screen. It’s not just a minor inconvenience; it’s impossible to use the app for more than a minute without getting hit with some sort of ad. At first, I dealt with it, but now it’s so frustrating that I’ve started using other dating apps instead. If the developers want to push users towards a paid subscription, this is definitely a way to do it—by making the free version unbearable. For now, I’m done with Grindr and am sticking to alternatives that are far more user-friendly. What do you think? Would you like to tweak anything?.DesignboyzVersion: 24.14.0

Banned for signing up?First time ever signing up and was met with a screen telling me I was banned. Help me understand how a person who’s never used your app gets banned?.KyourselfForMeVersion: 24.12.0

UnhealthyThe way how the apps run the value of their marketing is offensive and it’s chocking there is still people not knowing that and failing for it. I cancelled mine and it made no difference same thing only the annoying add and that shows that they have nothing else is different. I would suggest it should be only membership and make it $9000.00 dollars one time payment for life this will make it more clear for people to to realize the value for what they are being charged today ..ThreeFelixVersion: 24.12.0

StaffsAlso Grindr Staff need to do a better job Like yesterday i refused to share nude pictures with some people in the chat and I found out that I got banned for no reason the only plausible cause is that I refused to share nudes with strangers are they for reaaaal tho. They ban for no reason I guess the should be held by professional not unprofessional staff that does not even read Conditions of uses,.سلاسل المارVersion: 24.11.1

Beware: Malicious Bug in App Opens Spam in SafariDo not download! There is a virus in this software that forces Safari to open with malicious ads. This happens on its own without any interaction from the user..Froose CabooseVersion: 24.11.0

Unprompted adsAds open in browser unprompted for legit spam. This app continues to go downhill to squeeze out as many quick $$.DoordashstarvingcustomerVersion: 24.10.2

So many adsThere's more and more ads for people that can't afford the free version , it's really bad. The app keeps bugging everyday..Yoyo1894Version: 24.8.0

Spam adsIncreasingly more ads than before. Unfortunately, there are a lot of spam ads that without you clicking anything automatically open your Safari and take you to a fake website. terrible security..Gabber24SDVersion: 24.7.1

It sucks nowOver time this app has become SO obnoxious to use- i remember when it wasn't absolutely LOUSY with ads popping up every couple of swipes or operations (ads with several layers to dismiss, and some hidden dismiss buttons, at that), and fake profiles spamming you; when you could see everyone who'd viewed you freely, or later at least the last 6, or 3, without forming over money. To top it all off i have some deranged troll who i've reported for harassment and blocked at least two dozen times, who apparently can't be stopped from inevitably returning with ANOTHER new profile every time to continue being an a*****e. Thanks capitalism for ruining what was once a handy, agreeable app- like capitalism ruins *everything.*.Imperator_primeVersion: 24.7.1

Money hungrySo many ads, also really limits you if you don’t subscribe canceled my subscription and found that all taps are locked behind a paywall?? So money hungry.Seblyeon 101Version: 24.7.1

Ads going crazyI used to love Grindr, but now too many ads on the free version. I didn’t mind a few banners here and there but blocking the entire screen for 15 seconds to watch the entire ad just gonna make me stop using it..Alexandre1234567898Version: 24.7.1

BugsSo many bugs. So many ads. Doesn’t work a lot.TcanguyVersion: 24.6.1

Extremely disappointedHow does an app go from barely any issues to constantly plagued with problems? Get quality talent Grindr or else you will loose customers faster than you can save money … extremely disappointed.H.K2018Version: 24.7.0

Ads are out of controlThe amount of ads are getting ridiculous and the app regularly loses you messages. Clearly it’s made for profit maximization and not as a quality product..Wertydoodle12345Version: 24.7.0
