I’ve had my account for many years and then out of nowhere I’ve been banned. I’ve appealed to them but they won’t tell me what the violation was for. All they had to simply state what it was for but they couldn’t even do that, it’s apparently to protect the other users.

So if I was you avoid this app.

The app is nothing but a rip off now. Free user get nothing, Regular paying users get the bare bones that free users used to get. Those crazy enough to pay the premium subscription get bombarded with ads from Grindr trying to upsell pointless nonsense. The new owners think they have a cash cow, but it now just a legless cow taking its last gasps of air.

Version 7.22.1

The app itself is good but it’s more or less made useless by limitations if you’re not paying a subscription fee. I get having to pay for full functionality, but the free version is so lacking now it’s almost unusable. I wouldn’t mind paying for the subscription if it was reasonably priced but I can’t justify paying more for a dating app than my phone bill.

2023-09-12

Version 9.2.0

Just paid for extra - but this only offers more profiles and not any other features. For this you need unlimited. Which is around 250/year. This is simply to get rid of some of the annoying features they put on the app such as telling people when you’ve seen their profile or to be able to be incognito. Sadly these guys have something of a monopoly and are able to take advantage of the gay community, ripping people off for an app which is basically very simple and doesn’t even work particularly well. Do better.

Oscar2304377458

–

2023-08-29

Please be aware that there seems to be a new scam with scammers tapping you rather than messaging you (so you don’t have a message that you can report). I’ve seen quite a lot of these recently. Their profiles link to fake Instagram accounts which then have fake links to redirect you to other romance websites for you to sign up to. Highly likely that these are romance scammers. Beware and might be an idea to report these profiles under illegal activity until they get a better category.

This has been a continuous problem. I cannot identify a problem on my phone. I have deleted and re-downloaded app, logged out and back in, ensured enough storage available to run app and checked 4G and WiFi signals were working.

I therefore assume this is a Grindr issue.

Use the free app, NEVER pay for the extras

–

AJRuk

–

2023-08-22

Yes I use Grindr. But it is by far the worst I use in terms of performance and support. When it crashes or goes down, it is always catastrophic and takes ages to recover. So if you’re paying (most likely vast sums of money) forget getting any kind of refund for the fact that Grindr is fragile, riddled with spam and scammers and constantly hits you with ads or paywalls. It’s just about poor value being free, you figure out the rest if you pay for extra features

ridiculously expensive

–

Alabamassboy

2023-08-20

I decided to sign up for unlimited and I have to say the experience of using the app was great. It seems like there’s so much catfishing and photo collecting on grindr and the only way to tackle these issues is to have unlimited as it really helps to make chatting more secure and private. Grindr doesn’t really address these issues and they don’t have any verification procedure which is pretty shocking! As much as I enjoyed using unlimited I will not keep spending 35 pounds on a dating app it’s absolutely ridiculous. They should scratch the ‘xtra’ as it’s useless and make unlimited more affordable, I think they’d end up making more money. For such an expensive app it isn’t really personalisable, tags are very limited, profile info section has character limit and the app is very often unstable.

Glitchy, buggy app

–

Kolesound

–

2023-08-16

Been using for past 5 months. In all that time the app has been very glitchy. Lately blocking people doesn’t work as they just reappear next time the apps opened.

Pages freeze. If you go on someone’s profile and you wish to block them, 90% of the time the app freezes.

Grindr pop ups advertising special days generally freeze the page, won’t close, so have to restart phone just to close them.

Sometimes replying to messages - select reply to a certain message in a chat, the app glitches and won’t allow you to reply.

Other in-house Grindr pop ups informing you can buy extra things, you can’t close that page / only way too do so is select it, and you’re sent to a payment page, so you have to be careful to close that so you don’t end up purchasing it. Very sneaky thing of Grindr to do that.

The app needs an complete overhaul to clear all the glitches, before I’d even consider buying extras 🖤

rip off

selvinwonttakeyourcallnow

2023-08-15

all ads seem to be for some scam-looking poor man's candy crush, and when you press x to close them, they launch the app store - what gives?

the banning process is either automated or on a whim, with no warning or due process - all appeals generate corporate waffle such as 'we won't tell you why you were banned because privacy/safety blah blah, and having reviewed your account with my colleagues, the decision is final' - am supposed to feel safe not knowing why i got banned?

just look at all the copy-paste replies from the 'developer' - either can't read, or more likely a bot.

but this is what happens when greedy censorious hedge fund interests are allowed to monopolise the 'market', then hide behind 'positive' corporate blather whilst trying to rip you off without even bothering to make the basics work - don't give them a penny!

2023-08-11

An app that exploits the gay community by making the app almost non-functional unless you pay for premium subscriptions.

They then ban you for NO reason based on false reports and give you NO information on why your banned and still take your money despite you losing access to the app.

DO NOT support this app. Someone develop a better one.

If you’re not prepared to pay - and pay a lot: over £30/month - the app is unusable. You see that people quite close have viewed you but they do not appear on your ‘nearby screen.’ Even the most basic functions require you to pay so basically it’s just a pointless waste of time interspersed with interminable unstoppable ads. Basically don’t bother.

Honestly when I first used Grindr it was amazing. But slowly drip by drip there free features started disappearing into their monthly subscriptions and now pretty much every thing is subscription based. Now there’s even boost to boost your profile what the hell is that about? And forget seeing who is actually close or in your location because I alway see the same profiles and someone can be like 200 metres away but a profile next to it is like 5km away. It’s so not what it used to be 4 years ago. It’s super boring! I only go on to immediately come off. Thanks for nothing Grindr and becoming capitalistic like everything else. Cashing in on gay sexuality!

2023-05-21

I use the basic account and as you would expect it’s pretty horrible to use. The adds are beyond frustrating and funnily enough I’m never going to download one of those awful games so as ads go, it’s quite the failure. The new boost feature is making it now unbearable to use. My grids on fire! Nope, one person with no photo has viewed me, the rest are blurred out and on the rare occasion that one person you can see is actually good looking, you can’t click on them to find out more. Useless. I’ve had trials of the xtra account and to be honest you get barely anything xtra for a lot of money.

So, my point. Can you please allow us to disable the boost option as it just gets in the way and makes your app even more rubbish to use. Also, maybe have a look at your paid options. I don’t think anybody would pay the ridiculous amount for unlimited. Maybe you would get more revenue if it was priced more along the lines of other, perhaps scruffier, apps which offer so much more at so much less

I’d happily pay for that

Pay wall is too aggressive

–

MattGarforth

–

2023-05-19

Had XTRA membership for a few months, but half the time I was bombarded with messaging to upgrade to the ludicrously priced Unlimited tier. Since reverting back to being a standard user, the sheer amount of features hidden behind pay walls is ridiculous, to the point it’s not even usable without an vastly overpriced membership. Taps are no longer visible over an hour after being received, which makes the feature pointless if you don’t have it open 24/7.

Also the sheer number of ads thrown up at random points (always those stupid fake game ones with deceptive ‘x’ close buttons that actually trigger the ad) makes the app almost unusable. It’s faster to force quit the app and relaunch then it is to find the correct close button for the intrusive ad.

Finally the sheer number of bots and spam accounts is worse than ever. The new owners clearly have bad intentions when it comes to the user base and the use of our data. The product team at Grindr making decisions either no longer care about the community that made the app the success that it is, or they’re simply sell outs.

Really disappointing what’s become of the market leader and the name that’s synonymous with dating apps.

Update 9.8.1 has some massive UI flaws

–

Tiff2600

–

2023-05-09

Got this update last night and it’s back to how it was before the last update. UI is clunky to navigate, buttons in the wrong place for hand placement so nothing can be done with one hand any more. All the layout seems to be designed for blind people with big chunky text and loads of blank space in bio which means you have to scroll 3-4 times to get to the bottom of the bio. Pictures still not loading properly when clicking on profiles. Can’t swipe to get back to the grid and instead forces you to see the next profile which inadvertently gives them a view when you REALLY didn’t want to give THAT person a view. Seems like a rush to get this one out with no real testing or user input. Hopefully they fix it soon as it’s shocking in it’s current state.

In it for the money rather than user experience

–

exitium88

–

2023-05-03

Seems like the owners are restricting more and more options for the unpaid version (not free, I endure the ads and the probable use of my data, thus I won’t qualify this being a free app). Over the last two years restrictions have arisen from being ‘featured’ if you update a picture, not being able to see who’s looked at you, seeing who tapped you, and now people who tap me over 1 hour ago I can no longer see - do you expect me to check my phone constantly? The app’s been good at what it does, but what you can do now is getting less and less. Honestly, I would pay for the upgraded version but it’s so overpriced

Not worth it

–

kentbloke

–

2023-04-30

When Grindr first started, it was a new and exciting way of communicating with Peaple near and far.

As it’s become mor established it has become extremely unreliable and stupidly expensive, really not worth the extortionate amount of money, every update they do has the same message in its update. It is designed to encourage you to spend more money because if you stick with the basic option your are extremely restricted to what you can do and it’s full of stupid adverts which you have to watch in their entirety before you are able to proceed , if you block someone they reappear the next day.

Other dating apps give you alot more than Grindr.

In a nutshell, just an unstable rip off, absolute crap, 👎🏻

Malfunction Super Hero

2023-04-05

Grindr has always malfunctioned possibly due to lack of server capacity but is getting worse by the day over last week freezing non stop messages not being sent have to restart to send. They keep fiddling about and adding new features without first getting the basic app working correctly. Jokers and only reason it is still around is that there is not another viable option but that will surely change. I have a new device and was unable to set up as they want me to connect via Apple and give them my Apple Password no way Jose. Glitchy app at the best of times and the advert synchronisation is seriously faulty and causes crashes. I want to open a new account on my iPad 4 mini but is rejecting me.

Full of bugs

–

2023-03-19

Considering this is the most popular queer dating app, you’d think they’d have ironed out all these bugs by now. Can’t read messages even though I’m getting notifications that say I’ve received them. Drains the life out of your phone battery, customer support is useless/ almost non-existent, so if you’re having problems no one can help you. It crashes your phone, location tracking is often wildly inaccurate.

The app is full of bots, scammers and shady characters.

I guess Grindr’s popularity has allowed them to rest on their laurels. Why offset that sweet ad revenue by paying devs who know what they’re doing when there’s virtually no viable competition? Actually it really wouldn’t put much of a dent in their profits, they’re just greedy. Clearly there are enough rich guys who can fork out for the ludicrously priced premium package that they don’t have to worry about making the basic package even functional.

It’s Grindr…

The app as a whole works and does what it should. I do remember a more classic Grindr though, with no bugs, more profiles and more options for basic members. The sub price has gone up to stupid amounts. It’s a hook up app, not a 5star dating agency, lower the price!

Also, when sending messages, 9 times out of 10, they get stuck. I’ve lost meaningful connections, solid chats etc with people cos messages just don’t deliver. If anything, Grindr is hindering hook ups/ chats etc due to this. And this isn’t a new thing either! This has been happening for multiple updates now. This really should be looked at

Gets worse & worse every week!

Grindr is practically unusable these days. Even setting aside the fact they’ve deliberately defrauded customers by taking away features that we’ve already paid for (like clicking onto profiles who’ve viewed our pages & making taps totally pointless), on top of that, I, a paying customer, rarely get a day without the main page failing to load with an ‘Unable to refresh’ error message.

This should automatically trigger free extra membership days as I’m again not getting what I paid for! You should never give Grindr your money ever again, I sure won’t. Been a paying customer about 10 years but they show no respect or loyalty to customers.

Awful. Hope they go bust, they’re the enemy of the gay community these days.

I received a notification that I had been using my profile to promote soliciting. No proof. No apology. Just a generic response and I’m boiling over it. I don’t need to sell myself on Grindr. My private life is paid for on a different website so I don’t need to sell it. I get some things are automated. I get that. However. When it happens and it’s not true that’s ‘A defamation of character’. I’m now refusing to pay for my Ultimate Membership until a get an apology and assurances this won’t happen again.

Ridiculous!!

I was banned after more than 10 years using this app, telling me they have the doubt that I am a underage , so they asked me to provide proof with an ID document. I provided them with the document where my date of birth is clearly clear ( I am 32 years old ) but they continue to say that I am a underage. Ridiculars. What is the use of this document then??? and after more than 10 years that I’m using the app and after giving a proof of my age they don’t want to unlock my account. They blocked my account and I don't understand how to do it. RIDICLES!! ASSURDI! Never had experience like that. First time in my life. I think they don’t even know how to read an ID. My document is clear I’m 32 years old. IM NOT UNDERAGE. Customer service really bad. Worse experience of ever.

Worse update.

Was a loyal user for many many years until the latest update. Simply atrocious. Apparently no guys matching my filters (none applied). Cannot find my location in a city centre (tried both WiFi and mobile data). Very user unfriendly: when scrolling down the page will jump as the top banner disappears and then will reset to the top of the page when scrolling up (same banner). Messages disappearing constantly, pictures sent under the last update simply gone. Constant pop up offers trying to make you pay a simply unreasonable amount of money to access the rest of the app.

I’m willing to post another/change my review if these points are addressed but personally I think I’m going to dust off the old Tinder profile and be done with this mess.

App keeps crashing so many times the last few weeks (yes I do update it) but have to ask whats the point of having the ‘Who viewed me’ tab if you cant actually click on at minimum the last profile to look at yours without having to pay what can only be described as broad daylight robbery subscription fee. Let’s not go down the line of how many actual idiots use the app wasting people’s time, the lack of any human decency, respect or basic manners … Why is ghosting acceptable today? Seriously what happened to good old fashioned manners and saying “Not my type” or “Sorry not interested” if anything Ghosting and no reply envokes bad moods and is more offensive … I know some will be flooded with messages but then iust restrict how many different people can message someone in a day instead.

On the flip side I have had some pretty amazing hook ups through it from the extremely small minority of genuine guys on there …

The ‘developers’ seem to have spent the last year actually removing functionality. You can no longer view the profile of anyone who views you. They say you can now see history of who’s viewed you for the last 7 days, but what’s the point of that when the profiles are all blurred out (and even if they weren’t, you can’t actually view them anyway)? They’ve also limited the age search to a 3 year range. All this, unless of course you pay through the nose to access these features. I only use Grindr because it still has more users than similar apps. I’ve no idea why, since almost every other gay dating app offers way more functionality - and for free - than Grindr. I suspect it’s coasting on its longevity. I just wish another app would emerge to challenge it to raise its game. (And yes, it also uses loads of cache/battery and it’s unreliable.)

They can ban you, leave all your information on servers including name, email, contact number, your device ID information. I don’t care about a ban but once a company does it, they need to remove all you data. Their terms of service applies for life in their head rather than for the time they’re providing a service. The worst part is that my account is still live and I’m unable to remove pictures of me! Keep getting notifications so my profile is still clearly visible! Contacted their help team but they’re appalling and just didn’t respond. I’ve given Grindr 7 calendar days to comply with my request and delete all my information or I will be issuing court proceedings due to unlawful retention of personal information (GDPR Breach).

Be careful because once you’ve given them your information (my device info surprised me the most) they will hold it for life. Not ideal for this type of service….

Whilst I haven’t been a paid subscriber. Over the last couple of weeks they have phased out some very basic functionality aspects of the app. I understand you want to make money from some form of paid subscription, but don’t introduce basic features like taps and the ability to see who has viewed you, only to then put them behind a ridiculously priced monthly fee. Especially when some features don’t even work, I.E. I have been blocking people only to see them appear within a minute.

I’ve used grindr for years, but I will be keeping an eye out for an alternative now because it’s slowly becoming unusable.

It’s so bad when u refuse someone then they call u very bad names like pedo or even worse but before u can report them. They block u do u thinks it’s fair we have to take this abuse , yes I love grindr but this ban name calling needs to stop . Maybe put a instant button to push when vile disgusting names are called by a user. This automatically reports them I’m scared sometimes to go on here just in case this happens , hope u guys there understand my concerns. Thanks again for a amazing Place to meet guys.

Grindr is about to become Gaydar!

2022-10-25

I’ve been an “extra” subscriber for ages. The last update removed some basic features like taps and profile reach, so you can only get them on “Ultimate”. The price for that tier is £420 per year (when paid monthly)!

The only reason I pay for extra membership is because everyone and their grand-daddy is on Grindr. If Grindr continues to make the app unusable without paying ridiculous prices, some other app will take the lead, and Grindr will become the MySpace of gay dating (AKA Gaydar!).

Dear Grindr, you’re not a luxury brand. Do yourselves and us a favour, get rid of the delusional “Ultimate” tier. “Extra” is overpriced as it is! FYI when “premium” users pay 100s of ££ per year, we don’t want to see nagging, tacky “boost” banners everywhere.

If my review wasn’t clear, I have cancelled auto-renew until you sort your pricing structure out!

I’ve been using this app for many years but recently it’s become so annoying to use that there’s no wonder so many people are leaving it. Every other thing you do there’s an advert and now they’ve blurred who’s tapped you and the only way to have a good experience is to spend an extortionate amount of money on the premium service, which is not worth the money and you can get 2 streaming subscriptions for that price. Still, in 2022, the developers think all gay/bi people are the same type of people and their ‘tribes’ are limited to queer/highly sexualised cultures. It’s a shame because this used to be an app you could use to find someone to meet but now it’s just about profit.

Greed!

I like many, have used this app on and off for years and have consistently seen the free parts of the app slowly disappear. The latest update is really concerning. Not even allowing you to see Taps after a few hours is ridiculous. PLEASE be a little more generous and give back SOME privileges of the app. I’ve paid for this on and off but the price you want for a year is ludicrous. Especially with the state of the world at the moment. Reconsider how much you’re allowing patrons to use for free and resist the urge to gouge us for not very much in return. I fear the app is eventually going to be unusable for free forcing people to pay. Given the option between paying for petrol, heating or Grindr, I think you’re making it a very easy choice.

Not happy! 😠

*Update: Oct 22 - Still crashing and new updates are removing Xtra features. The latest now directs you to upgrade to unlimited to view your Taps and the WHO Viewed Me no longer shows any profiles since it moved from 24hrs to 7 days. No fix date from Grindr and no apparent urgency to resolve the issues. Very dissatisfied Xtra PAYING customer 🤬

Update: The developers have been pretty good recently keeping me updated by email and a note today to say the issues are sorted with Build 8.8.0. Fingers crossed for stability 🤞🏻Now to negotiate a credit for my lost access. I have changed my rating from 1 star to 3. My previous review will remain below: The latest update is pure trash. Randomly crashes and then you cannot open the app and are left with no option but to delete and reinstall. This action causes chats to be lost and the chat back up is getting flakey too and not logging back ups. As an Xtra subscriber this is unacceptable.

Overpriced app that crashes regular where you have location issues.

Used this app for many years. In the early days it was good. Some good free features that have since been replaced or reduced to paid only feature. The subscription prices are way out of most people’s price range.

The most annoying part of the app is that it doesn’t work without knowing your location! If you are say on a cruise ship and connected to the ship WiFi then the app can’t see your location meaning you can’t check your favourite list, people who tapped you or local guys! Even worse if you get disconnected whilst it is checking for a location the app often crashes and unless you have backed up regularly you lose all your chats!

Avoid this app.

before you invest any money and time into this app just know they will ban you without warning and take your money and not even tell you what you have done wrong. I’ve lost all the thousands of people I was talking to in chat just like that. Pre warning most are doing drugs , selling themselves or trying to buy people and will talk to you like rubbish. I have all the screenshots and will be putting Grindr on blast Because trust me I ain’t the only one who’s been removed for nothing. And I promise you after all that money and time (years) using Grindr for them to take it like that.. no warning and even wen I appealed they said they ain’t telling is wrong. Watch your self people Grindr just wants your money but it’s time people see the truth.

N you want proof you’ll get it all. I got all my receipts and chats where I have been racially abused called cotton picker and the person is still on Grindr

Like others here, since the recent update I’m finding the app crashes every time I try to open it. I’ve tried restarting my iPhone but to not avail.

Note - in reply to the developer comment, I had already reached out to support. They have acknowledged there is an issue that they are working to resolve, and they will contact me when it is fixed. All the same, it’s a concern that this release was allowed to go with such a serious bug which, as recent reviews attest, has affected many users.

Further note - several months on when they have been keeping telling me that their engineers were working on a fix … and finally they tell me just to delete and reinstall the app, and lose my conversations, which I could have done months ago and had access to the app in the intervening time. Have reduced from two stars to one as a result. Absolutely useless.

New update needed

–

drapes64

2022-08-06

I think you need to do another update because since the last update this app crashes. All pics disappear you have to tune off the app and restart. Unable to refresh yet again another restart. Showing guys on line and when you open up the profile it says off line, some have been offline for 20 mins. Come on Grindr sort it out. I have, in the past upgraded to xtra at £9.99 a month, now you are charging almost £40 a month for poor service and you don’t get much for your money. I thought £10 a month was expensive.

Now another update which is restricting the amount of profiles you can see, unless you upgrade. When you go onto the fresh page, which has also been cut back to 12 profiles, and some of them have not been online for hours.

Expect fun And expect timewasters

Don’t expect commitment or relationships

Probably a good idea to meet in a public place first. The ads are a bit frustrating but they help pay for this app. Always have a contingency plan for when they don’t turn up or do a disappearing act. People are quite fickle on Grindr, don’t take it too seriously. There are those who will block you for no reason or for superficial reason, that just goes with the territory.

You really are a joke.

So a cross dressing guy tells me to go and die of cancer because I say no to him then are you find out who he is from various other apps and I say I know you and I think you’re disgusting for what you say so he reports me and I get banned. It’s an absolute joke you are fine taking my money for all these years and then I have an argument sticking up for myself from bullies and you banned me because of it, maybe cos I’m white cis male and he’s a drag queen . Either way, Paedophilia is fine on your app that whatever you do don’t stick up from bullies they hate that. I hope this app gets taken off the store because you treat your long serving customers with such disrespect it’s laughable.

Costs a fortune for any of the subscriptions, without them there’s no functionality, very limited access and overall it’s pretty rubbish and full of adverts. Loads of bot profiles, app also crashes and needs wiping and reinstalling to fix. Has crashed my phone (iphoneX) several times. It’s just turned into a greedy cash cow, and not a good one at that.

Also very concerning access privileges, most of which irrelevant to its function.

It’s data harvesting (which explains the 2Bn deal recently in the news).

Seriously advise deleting and using something else like scruff.

App is massively exploitable and don’t even think it’s safe anymore, so many reports of people being catfished/attacked, used by some governments to track people (Egypt is one example) it’s gone full cash cow mode at the expense of its users and their safety.

App causes my phone to crash

2022-05-04

Used to be fine, but since late April the app crashes my phone on a regular basis. It is usually after going onto someone’s profile, after which my phone shuts down and I must restart.

Upon restarting, I can then no longer access the app entirely as it crashes after a few seconds of loading. I have had to uninstall and re-download 4 times now and as a result I have lost all my chats. There is cloud backup but I doubt many people on there would want to use that feature, myself included, due to privacy and data concerns.

I will no longer be using this app until the crashing issues get resolved.

Crashes Every Time It’s Opened!!

2022-04-15

I can’t use the app. As every single time I open the app it crashes in less than a second. I get notifications that I’ve received a message but I can’t read them, even if I try opening the app through a notification. It still crashes!!! I don’t have chats backed up so I haven’t deleted the app to see if reinstalling will fix it and I don’t think I should have to. I’ve read reviews from people for the last couple of weeks and I’m not the only one having this problem. It started a couple of weeks ago for me, but seems to have been going on for long before that for other people. So it should have been fixed by now. I’ve also messaged the grindr help and I was told by Andrea “We are aware of the problem and are already working hard to resolve this, your report really helps us understand the scope of the problem. We will go ahead and mark this ticket as an incident related to the original problem so that you receive an update once the issue is fixed.” So I’ve been told to wait! Which is a crappy answer as like I said it should have been fixed by now with the amount of people it’s affecting and Grindr are screwing them out of their money.

Was good but lack of bandwidth for latest features mean it’s now a mess!

I’ve been with this app since 2013 & now have unlimited membership but in the past fortnight it’s been dogged with problems. It won’t allow me to view who has looked at my profile, it’s stuck on an old set of profile filters I want to change & it doesn’t show me as online (even when I’m not in incognito mode). Ensuring I’ve updated to the latest version of the app doesn’t help either. All I can do is chat to pre-existing contacts that I’m not prepared to wipe by deleting the app and downloading from scratch. I get the feeling this app needs more bandwidth than it has, to cope with the demand of recent add-on features such as the recent introduction of album. It was good but now I’m literally paying through the teeth for a mess. Not sure I will renew if these glitches remain.

I recently had my account suspended after apparently breaking the rules - when I asked what I did wrong to avoid this happening again I was told they wouldn’t be allowed to tell me.

This is after me paying for my subscription. Iv been a loyal customer to Grindr for the best part of 10 years and to have my account banned without an explanation is really poor customer service. I have continued emailing for an answer but now they aren’t relying.

I would avoid paying for a subscription with Grindr

From bad to worse

2021-11-21

I’ve had Grindr on and off for years but, after recent updates, it’s become unusable and I’m looking for an alternative.

The worst problem is, as others have said, the app causes my phone to stop working. The touchscreen, and sometimes home button, becomes unresponsive. If I can’t close the app, I have to restart my phone. An app this unstable really shouldn’t be in the App Store.

Adds are the other issue. Using the free app, I expect adds. Over the years adds on Grindr have sometimes been barely noticeable and sometimes a pain in the **** but they’ve never been as frequent and intrusive as now. Not only do adds always seem to pop up at the worst moment, such as when responding to a tap or message, but they’re timed and then force you to go to a download page. And that’s the ones that work. There are some I can only get rid of by closing Grindr.

Grindr is, surely, still the market leader in dating/hook up apps. Yet it seems determined to lose this position. It’s like it knows its days are numbered and is trying to grab as much money as possible before the shutters come down. I can’t see any other reason for making the free app so unappealing while hiking the prices of the paid for versions.

Destroys your phone

2021-11-19

I have an iPhone 13 and their latest updates have (like many others have already reported for WEEKS) destroyed my phone. Overheating, unresponsive screen and keyboard even after leaving the app, sometimes you need to restart your phone …. I already contacted their customer service. Not only are they unhelpful but they also ask for a recording of when the problem occurs, completely disregarding data privacy and the other numerous reviews highlighting these same issues.

Same feedback regarding the ads, it’s obnoxious that you pretend to need THIS MANY ads -that force us to be redirected to a download page on the app store- to offer a (terrible) free service. Free? Yeah but it’s pretty bad. Location is often unreliable. You got rid of the ethnicity filter supposedly to support BLM but as an African man I can tell you this is very inconvenient as this filter allowed me to speak to people from my community and avoid racists …. Too many escorts, drug dealers/users (“hnh” still not banned but the word “massage” is … go figure), constant bots, people who take screenshots and then blackmail you (unlimited expiring pictures should be free like Scruff does) ... and y’all don’t care. You think your users should PAY to use your app SAFELY. Your pricing and 2 tier subscription system is abusive and a complete rip-off.

2021-10-17

🐜 Why do you force us to download the latest Version of the app, yet it contains many bugs ! 🐜 Don’t you test it first!? While trying to view the cascade of profiles on the iPad version you get half way down the page to click on a profile, it starts to load, it then shows half of that profile but then it flicks right back to the first profile from the top of the list. 🐜 Its impossible to view individual profiles now besides starting at the top, swiping left to the next one and about 15-20 other ones to get of the one that you want to see, thus leaving tracks on profiles that don’t interest you. 🐜 The app is useless now on iPad, can’t click on profiles to start chat or even leave a tap. 😡😡😡 🐜

Your constant updates mess the app up more, bugs are your main priority these days, ever thought of supplying “Celebrity get me out of here” jungle version. 🐜 🐜

It’s always slow anyways, maybe a sloth could do better !

The recent update has completely ruined the app and it’s completely unfunctionable now! It’s very slow and just crashes every five minutes and it takes about 10 minutes to send a message! It won’t load peoples profiles properly as soon as I click on a profile it takes me straight back up to the top of the screen and I have to go through the profiles individually to the particular person I want to message! It’s ridiculous and not to mention how many ads you have it’s so unnecessary and irritating! I’ve been using this app for 8 years and it’s never been this bad!

2021-08-18

Not sure why this has happened, but EVERY time I open the app I get asked whether I’m enjoying ‘Extra’….there is only one option, a thumbs up, so I press close as if you’re asking my opinion you need to give me more choice than what you want to hear. Now I’m plagued with a pop up unless I say you’re great…which is immediately horrible UX and makes the thumbs up obsolete. Don’t ask my opinion if you’ve already made up your minds what my answer is!!!!

I do not want to say I’m enjoying Grindr whilst I’m getting daily spam, including spam that uses my profile title, as that means the spammer has access to my personal information in the app. I put in a support ticket saying that and get a cut & paste response with some blurb about taking spamming seriously, yet it still happens and still uses data from my profile to address me in the message.

Banning Without Fair Hearing

cyberwes

2021-07-18

Account banned for no reason. No reason given. No conversation about why. Aren’t we supposed to be innocent until proven guilty? If accused of a crime surely you are entitled to know what it is before being given a punishment? And where is the chance to give our side of what clearly is usually a two-sided story. I have researched and found people banned for something as simple as not replying. I myself have been trying to help create a kinder (#kindr - where does that apply in arbitrary bans without recourse) by explaining to ignorant people that perhaps they should show kindness by responding or treating people with respect instead of abusive messages. And yet I get a ban. And I’m not the only one. Grindr wants to create a more “caring” community. Perhaps educate and help people to learn if they have broken some rule that they do not know about. Perhaps a little more engagement from customer services can help to change behaviour rather than just outright bans.

Are there issues with Grindr that means you can no longer set profiles up at the last 10 minutes I keep guessing registration error I’m coming back after four months from taking a break so I know how to fill Grindr in I’ve done it many times well I tried yesterday I just keep getting error and there was no errors I’d set up the profile within the guidelines then today all I’m getting is registration error and everything‘s been filled in. Although I did get to the stage where I had to put my photograph put my name age date of birth and I thought great I’m getting a bit further I want you press next yep you guessed strikes it comes back as registration error so I guess you don’t need my money sure I can support another gay app

There seems to be no way to contact you other than writing a review.

14th May - I would have liked to say that my issues had been speedily resolved, but you just sent me a link to report them all over again. Why can’t you raise a repair ticket and sort out ? A touch more pro active from your side please.

I’ve seen people often “blame” or denigrate Grindr but I think much of what we don’t like or don’t understand is something we are struggling with within ourselves. I’ve learnt a lot from Grindr, plus met many amazing people. This technology is miraculous and just because it can’t talk for itself is no reason to curse it. Instead of cursing the darkness why not light a candle instead? I am grateful not only for the experiences and people I’ve met but for the lessons in humility, gratitude, resilience, patience and compassion. Life beyond Grindr beckons now. #BeKindrWithGrindr #NoReviewIsn’tAReview

So, just like so many other people on here, Grindr has just banned me. If you ask them why, you get some vague generic response; “Your profile has been reported for engaging in behavior that breaches our guidelines”. I asked them to investigate and clarify what was happening, But I got a computer generated - which makes it a waste of time querying anything in the first place!

You don’t get any kind of warning to say that someone has reported you. They don’t investigate the claim made against you. They just ban you! No questions asked and there is nothing you can do about it. And you instantly loose all the discussions you were having and the friends you had just made.

Their vetting rules for profile photos are ridiculously arbitrary - there were much more revealing profile photos than the ones they allowed me to post.

All in all, the whole experience with Grindr has been shoddy.

To cap it all, their little message at the end of this review to contact them also yields no results. You get the same generic response and end up going round in circles and more frustrated.

Who is running this show and what kind of people do they have working for them?!

Accounts suspended in response to vexatious complaints

What a Liberty

2021-02-22

Their suspension process is open to abuse - If you call out illegal behaviour the individual you report is able to get you suspended by making a vexatious complaint about you and it appears no effort is made to investigate - you remain banned. Don’t waste your time and choose another app - developer response suggests that I submit my concern for further consideration but I already did by appealing the suspension and got the regular formulaic meaningless response. Either the company needs to change its policy/procedures or employ more skilled staff and train them properly. Go back to first principals if you suspend someone provide specific evidence of their non compliance - quote the offending phrases - that way people might trust you.

As an avid user of Grindr on and off for year and adhered to the rules someone I was chatting to has managed to get my account suspended

Which I’ve appealed against but Grindr has not responded to email or given reason to why my ban has happened or endeavoured to lift the ban

Disappointed with the app company for lack of support of a genuine account through some other fake profile that they’ve chosen to believe

And there is no way I can reinstate my account whilst they’ve banned my account

Excessive data access

With Apple’s new detail on what data each app is using has brought about a necessary light being shone on every app and as a result, it makes me question why they need access to soooooo much. Why do they need access to my health and fitness data (it doesn’t pull that data into the app and doesn’t write any health and fitness data to my phone)?! Why does it need access to my emails and text messages for app functionality? It has nothing to do with it! Why does it need access to my search history (outside of Grindr)? None of this is needed for the app to work... really makes me question how much data they have access to and whether I should continue using it. I’m an Unlimited member and I can not see any reason for any of this. Think they need to explain/justify this!

Loyal user from the begging till the end and this happens

App had few bugs over the years nothing to major I had same account for about 5 years no problems chatting to guys through the night as can’t sleep due to insomnia plus live in the middle of know where so bit of our side contact then 2 weeks ago at 4 am in the middle of talking to a friend half way access the country my the profile goes black and the message your profile has been suspended due to rule breaking So I email them to ask what is going on and apparently I had been trying to sale myself and sale drugs of my account which is a load of crap so I asked to see the allegations and some proof of me doing this to with I was told they do not have to show me anything or justify taking me off the site which had to br wrong and as a ultimate member you think they Would show me some evidence but from what I’ve been seeing they just seemed to be kicking quite a few pplL off for stupid reason and not giving any hint of evidence to show why if I’m wrong and did something wrong then fair play but to not even prove. It tthey blocking all paid members mid contracted and keeping the money wankers
