Dont care

Ive been a grindr paying customer for over 5 years. All of the sudden my profile got banned i filed an appeal and they just copy pasted a part of their user agreement and policy. Not explaining or identifying what i did wrong, allegedly, the worst ive done is reject people, and thats it. With this ban, i can clearly see that Grindr does not care for any of their customers, we are just a number in their system and they are just out for the money.reccomend 0/0 showing no loyalty, transparency or thruth

Awful and money hungry

They constantly take away regular features and hide it behind xtra. Then they take the xtra features and make it an unlimited feature! Awful app and company.

What was once a good App

This app was great for so many years and then it all started going downhill. You don’t get much people to browse anymore when you have a free account which is very disappointing. Too many ads which are so annoying, lots of fake accounts and it’s ridiculously expensive just to even subscribe. It’s just a terrible app now
