Grindr - Gay Dating & Chat

Fix the ads, everyone just closes the app now and restarts with an ad, cuz it always crashes

App keeps freezing, boosts disappear, customer service needs you to prove it all…

It is ridiculous that we have to pay a super premium rate to use an app with only 5% real people and the rest are all spam bots.
For a company as big as Grindr, I’m sure you have the mechanics to do better!
Come on!

The app keeps showing me a request to scan my passport or ID to comply with some age-verification law from the UK, even after leaving the UK. There is no way to use the app now besides giving away my most important data.

To much fake accounts, to much botaccounts,
To much money
To much BS by the app makers.
My picture are still being used by other accounts.
Only spam accounts every day every city multiple accounts. They don’t care about the gays. It’s about making much money and getting the community unpleasant

The pricing has gone to ridiculous levels if you wanna have all functions of this app and it has been programmed so that you get lured in the paid subscription. I agree with other reviewers that this app does not at al contribute to normal valuable sustainable social contacts. It’s nothing else than a meat market, leaving the impression again and again that gays are more capable of taking their clothes of than keeping a conversation.
Sadly, the black filter has been deleted since years now, apparently due to a wrong understanding of discrimination versus preference based on obvious qualities/appearance. Nonetheles we can however filter on sex based qualities/appearance such as trans for example,which to my personal taste is currently sadly enough overflowing the community in profile numbers that are not representative fir real life.
Annoyingly Grindr is not capable to ban obvious fake profiles of scammers. The number of messages of these scammers soliciting you to buy this or that or seduce you to go to a certain website is disturbing the user experience.
Finally the app is super addictive. I’m very happy that my subscription ends soon amd to focus exclusively on real life options. I invite more fellows to do the same so that one day, when somebodylikes you, he does not check grindr first while you’re 10 feet away, but walks to you and just smiles and says hi.

For reasons that completely escape me, especially in an era when digital privacy should be taken seriously, Grindr has disabled its blocking feature. I don’t want everyone on the app having access to my private life. It’s called a private life for a reason. Removing such a basic privacy safeguard is irresponsible. Bring it back.

Het is mij een raadsel hoe deze app gemiddeld op 4,2 sterren uitkomt, terwijl vrijwel elke recente review 1 ster geeft. Sinds Grindr commercieel is gegaan, draait alles om geld en abonnementen, terwijl de functionaliteit alleen maar verslechtert.
De app wordt overspoeld door nep-profielen, bots, fakers en phishers. Grindr claimt in te zetten op AI, maar slaagt er niet eens in de meest voor de hand liggende nep-accounts eruit te vissen. Terugkerende fakers worden blijkbaar niet eens geblokkeerd, hoe vaak je ze ook rapporteert. Ook lopen er vreemde profielen rond met alleen een getal als naam, die op de een of andere manier alle regels weten te omzeilen.
De userbase wordt bovendien steeds toxischer. Binnen 'Right Now' en de gewone feed sturen lege accounts zonder foto of stats je een 'hi' of een tap. Veel van deze wegwerpprofielen lijken te worden gebruikt door mensen die diep in de kast zitten en overal anoniem tussendoor glippen.
Daarnaast zijn de reclames pure pesterij. Ze verschijnen op de meest ongelegen momenten met waardeloze mobiele games. Je betaalt bij Grindr niet voor betere functies, maar puur om de irritatie af te kopen die ze zelf bewust hebben ingebouwd. De belachelijk dure abonnementen zijn het simpelweg niet waard.
Als kers op de taart zijn de reacties van de klantenservice op de reviews hier overduidelijk door bots geschreven. Ze slaan de plank volkomen mis en er wordt absoluut niets met de kritiek gedaan. Een hele zware onvoldoende.

Grindr really pulled up to Milkshake Festival with a huge bus, a drag queen and a Wheel of Fortune like they were about to make Oprah proud: “YOU get Premium! YOU get Premium! EVERYBODY gets Premium!”
Plot twist: everybody got the same code and apparently only one person could actually redeem it.
Probably they forgot to budget the prizes.
Contacted support, but they seem to have ghosted me — which, to be fair, is probably the most authentic Grindr experience of the entire promotion.

I was happy using Grindr. It felt safe and good, just what we all need. Almost a month ago, I wanted to use Grindr, but they banned me. For what? Because they assumed I was asking for money on the app!? I tried to appeal the ban twice and emailed them, but I received no response. I explained that I did not do this, but I am still banned. Grindr, please fix this and don’t ban people who really enjoy using the app! So sad and disappointed.

this genuinely made dating so much easier i struggle as a gay trans lesbian transformer super ranger and i really hoped someone was looking for someone like me and i finally found my match so this really saved my love life as a gay trans lesbian transformer super ranger ❤️‍

I have the Grindr extra for several years now, in the beginning it was great but it’s starting to get annoying again. I’m paying €80 a year so I don’t have to watch all those advertisements now since a few months, I’m writing this July 26 they’re putting advertisement in the Grindr extra.
As a Grindr xtra user I’m not happy with that !
Also they used let you talk to people all over the world unlimited , nowadays you can talk to just a few Internationals a day
So the xtra (paid) subscibtion isn’t really worth its money and became annoying.
GRINDR values making money over the user experience .

The navigation in a chat often disappeares - both on iPad and iPhone. Only way to get out of a chat is forced restart.

Nice Guys op de app die bijna allemaal zoeken wat jij ook zoekt zoals je weet wel. Zelf een vrsbtm Leidenaar

The pop up ads and bots make it almost unusable. Shame this is still the largest app for the gay community. It’s pretty much trash for user experience.

One of the worst apps to ever get created if U ask me. Not user friendly in any shape or form.

Deze
app is steeds slechter aan het worden steeds meer profielen van nep mensen nu al binnen 5 minuten vijf van die nep accounts

I get constant spam messages or likes. It’s getting ridiculous now, about 50 times a day!
