Community Voice & Feedback
You should focus on a better base experience to increase the quality of people here
I jot got block from the app for no reason. I just know that I was been blocked some guys from app because I wasn’t interesting in then they made the account Again and continue messaging me and I got mad. I just told them I was not interested and I told them to the truth And somehow I got blocked from the app.. That’s is stupid.
The app is buggy. It tells you have messages when you don’t. The count reflects profile views or taps. Even after you’ve viewed the people who have tapped and viewed you it still shows a notification. It’s very irritating. There are Lots of bots and scams trying to get your attention. Don’t have that problem on Scruff for some reason.
Truly speaking, the app was much better before. Its simply terrible now. Guessing the greed has kicked in. Now they charge on top of a subscription. sorry bro, but thats totally unfair. I am sure they might read this and go like “meh…..” but honestly, a huge number of subscribers have fallen and switched to other apps like sniffies and tinder, bcaz yall raised prices. Users are tired of these hidden costs. Take a hike and gather your thoughts again to bring back those users back you lost.
Navigating this app in 2026 as a free user is practically impossible, 30 second ads for simply moving from one window to the next, a tiny search radius and extremely high prices like $30 for one WEEK of “premium” use (premium being simply what being a free user was about 4 years ago), this app has gone totally off the rails and consumed itself in the name of greed. Ads, pop ups, sponsors pretending to be messages, it’s highly predatory. Avoid like the plague.
This app is trash now it traps you in adds to where you gotta close out of the app completely and restart it to get out of them then restart it go to check your messages after u check one your trapped back in an add again not how Grindr used to be…. Sell outs
why tf my dad got grindr uninstalled??????????
Ridiculous money grab
This app sucks i don’t use it for 1-2 years and before that I just get on to see if anyone I’m interested in is in the area but since covid started in 2019 I only logged on and had not sent any messages and have not used this app in over a year only to find out I’m banned is it because I’m not using said app for over a year… and even then I made an appeal over a month ago and still haven’t received any response good or bad i don’t recommend this app to anyone
For some reason this app will only show you people hundreds of miles away. It will not let you choose your own city where u live you have to choose a major city around you. This app is about as useful as a message in a bottle. Someones gonna see it but they gonna be across the world.
This is app is horrible constant bots and scammers that the developers do nothing to try to stop meanwhile my account gets banned for terms and conditions violations when I haven’t even used the app in weeks completely unacceptable wouldn’t recommend at all plenty of better apps don’t even waste your time all they care about is money l
If Grindr put half of their efforts into their product and customer service instead of only focusing on marketing and ripping off subscribers with their bait n’switch multi tiered membership subscriptions, they’d be worth it.
Absolute garbage!!
Absolute garbage!!
It says $27.99/week for unlimited… do you realize that’s $1,456 per year?
Polymarket Ads over and over… and then once you wait 30-60 seconds it’s a game of find the “X”
This kind of advertising should be illegal and feels like I’m doing a bad job of living in the matrix.
