They do nothing about stalkers
I have someone who is stalking me. I block one account and they open a new one. I block that one and they open a new one. They’ve done it over a dozen times. I have screen shots of all the accounts and they refuse to get involved. So they are allowing people to stalk you on their app. Avoid this app at all costs.
Edit: so they claimed to take this seriously. Yet, when I sent them screenshots of all of the accounts this person created to keep getting around my blocking them, they offered zero advice expect to file a police report. Well the person lives in another country, I don’t know their name, I don’t know their address, I don’t even know what they look like. So what exactly am I reporting??? The only people with any information on this person is GROWLr, and they refused to do anything. The person is STILL stalking me, still creating brand new accounts daily to harass me from. I had no choice but to delete my account. Thanks for nothing GROWLr.Show lessGianiJ

So when Growlr launched, the user had access to a lot more features, such as several hundred profiles, etc. as time went on, the app developers retracted and limited most of a free users access to those features behind a premium access paywall. I’m of the opinion that if you give users something, you should not take away features but rather innovate new features and charge for those. So because of that, I give Growler devs fairly low marks for being shady.
Fast forward to now, the chat feature is interesting because it’s clearly an odd combination of only fans, just for fans, and a chat feature without the sex…. On an app that’s ostensibly designed to get men together… for relationships and the idea of sex because well, we’re men.
My objection to this feature is this, people pay money to collect coins to spend on tipping content creators who are being entertained via this app. The developers don’t want the app to become a den of sleaze and sex, which is understandable but the app is designed to get horny men together to have sex. Then you have the bans. When people pay real money and then you ban them and effectively take that money away, that’s underhanded. I don’t hear of people being compensated after they get banned so it’s developers just taking peoples money without remuneration. That’s predatory at best. Fraudulent under the guise of being a puritanical watchdog.Show lessKhazhadar
Past it’s prime - full of bugs
UPDATE: Lowered my score to 2 stars. The developer thought a new logo was more important than fixing the same bug. Bade app icon persists despite having no messages.
I’ve used Growlr (paid subscription) for many years. The content and concept of the social app is fine. The technical issues seem to be constant. I’ve emailed and filed tickets with their support a few times a year at least. The major issue is when either Apple updates the iOS or growlr updates their app, the badge app icon (the red number) to show how many notices you have persists long after opening notices and messages. You have to kill the all sometimes three or four times before the icon goes away. After writing to their support and receiving the same canned response “we’re working on it.” Maybe it’s time to stop giving them money for a subpar product. The competition “Scruff” seems to keep up with bugs more efficiently.Show lessdblplus
