Unfortunately limited .. privacy issues unless you pay!

Can’t even properly try it out , it’s so limited .. especially with privacy.. want even the most basic Privacy? Gotta pay .. want to do a basic search ? Gotta pay ..
I can’t even give it a proper trial to see if it might work for me .. no wonder it’s failing to reach people ..
I’m seriously shocked at how out of touch these app creators are with some dating apps..
I’m not expecting free, but at least a fair trial to see if the app works for me .. and I live in a big city ..

Nothing but spam accounts

This app is horrible, I downloaded the app and setup my account easily? It was easy to use but over a matter of minutes I had forty messages from accounts with the same name and profile picture sending me links to outside dating sites that try to steal your credit card information. No matter how many times you report them and block them they keep coming. I rated this app a one star because of the companies lack of control over account verification and user safety. Fix the app. I will never download anything from this developer again.

I am a DL married guy and I enjoy your app VERY MUCH ... more power to you...👍🏼👍🏼😘😘😘😘😍😍😍👨‍❤️‍👨👨‍❤️‍👨👨‍❤️‍👨👨‍❤️‍👨

Feeling safe.

So far it’s very much like a polished and more pristine Grindr. I like the look of the app, the simplicity to its interface but mostly the way that profiles are set up. None of us have time to waste and finding what I want to know is easy and streamlined. So far I’m not having the issues like with Taimi and I’m getting matches for people who are across the country. I really hope one thing Grizzly understands is how important it is to not make the location part of this a pay to play tact. I get really excited to see I’m compatible with someone on Taimi to figure out we will never see each other and it’s just super discouraging.

We appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

Aggravating and incomplete.

This app insists on notifying you (with a sound and a red badge on the app icon) not just of new messages but also whenever anyone so much as glances at your profile, even when that view is not available to you. Also, apparently messages can’t be deleted unless you block someone, so there’s no way to keep the inbox tidy. And it’s full of spammers — how about requiring that ALL profiles get verified? I kept reporting “tinyurl” link spam but still got the same spam over and over. I contacted an admin who had offered me a free trial of premium but never got a response (and from other low-star reviews it appears that they’re trading premium for five-star reviews, which is super-slimy). The rights they reserve in the fine print to use your images in ANY way they want are also hideous (despite repeated promises that this is changing, it never has). Don’t waste your time on this app!

Hello, we are really sorry for that, we are trying to change the documents as quickly as possible, cuz we´re not using the pictures of our users anywhere!

App change

It’s not a bad app it’s just that when you are asking for specific things on your profile you can’t find people that fulfill the requirements and you end up with people that doesn’t respect you and are annoyed with the rejection and you always ends up alone again ! I know that this is happening in every dating app but you know hope always dies in the end!

More Features Need To Be Standard

Been using the app for a few days now and it’s pretty good! Love the verification feature, chat window functions perfectly, and Lubo from admin was super welcoming and helpful when I was getting set up.

However, like the title says, more features need to be standard. With the free version I can’t see who viewed me, or favorited me, or more than 50 nearby profiles—who for some reason are NOT listed from closest to farthest. Other than that, it’s a good time!

The potential is evident

The more this app catches on with our fellow buds I can already tell that it will be right up there with the best of them. I truly feel less judged by the guys here which is comforting to me. Technical support has so far been top notch and are clearly there to provide you with the satisfaction you desire. So what have you got to lose... try it out.

Fantastic

I recently downloaded this app and I have to admit that the interface is fantastic! There’s a high degree of simplicity and a great quality of men of all ages and backgrounds. As someone that is older, I appreciate the huge number of interests to choose from, the ability to be discreet, and the remarkable resemblance to Daddyhunt (which I’ve been a fan of for years)! Thank you once again

A sea of scammers and bots

I’ve used all the dating apps, some better than others, but this one is absolute garbage. If you want to have your phone blowing up nonstop with messages from blatantly fake accounts trying wanting to chat on kik or hangouts to try to steal your personal information, this is the app for you. As soon as you click on the profile pic for one of these scammers the app gives you an error message that there is no registered email address associated with the account. Support staff claim they’re “working on a system to eliminate the bots,” but clearly the platform is compromised and their security has been seriously breached. I’ve had it for a week and have reported an average of 23 fake accounts every day since. If you’ve never used it, don’t. If you have it on your device, delete it.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the review. We are working really hard every day to go through our database and remove all fake accounts. Minimizing the number of scam accounts in our app is our #1 concern. We are currently testing a mechanism to recognize and block scammers automatically. If you see a scammer account, you can help us by reporting it - tap on his profile and then hit the icon in the upper left corner and choose “Report”.

Greatest App of all times

The reason why am rating this app to be to be the greatest app of all time is that they have friendly user interface and also shows much people online at the moment you launch the app. Also gives you access to use the app fully without going on premium but it just that the premium kills the game and makes the app supper cool so make sure you go in for the premium. Best app ever though 👍

Too many bots, but yall probably knew that

This app had potential to be good, im not gonna lie about that. But at this point, i’ve lost track of gow many profiles i’ve had to report. 9/10 times, the profiles that slide in my dms are either bots that send me links to fishy websites or they’re people claiming to be sugar daddies when in reality, they just want to scam you. At this point, i can easily point out the fakes. They either have really low quality profile pics, single/2 letter names, or they claim they’re looking for an “honest and loyal sugar baby that they want to spoil with a weekly allowance of $____”. I’m done. Periodt.

Grizzly, the app for your next connection!

So just got this app for a few days now and it’s been a great experience, no lagging, does not close on you at all and the app works great, I’m able to see many profiles with multi pictures in them. Also easy to reach out to anyone you might be interested in and the hanky color list gives you the opportunity to let your own personal kinks out there with no judgement. Try it, it’s a great app and a new way to meet hot hairy men from around the world, have fun and be safe. 🐼❤️

Is anybody home?

Downloaded the app in hopes to find some sexy “grizzly” bears, but seems to me there’s no traffic on the app. Not sure if its just my area, but when I get on there’s nobody here. I’ve even got on & used the online only filter & its like only about 30 guys IF THAT. I live in Dallas its hard to believe that only 30 guys are actively searching. Lol plus of the given profiles, majority have very little to NO profile information. On a better note The handkerchief colors was a cute addition to app life, but REALLY you have to go to Wikipedia to decipher what the colors are if you dont know them by heart? Wouldn’t it make sense to have what the mean on the app so people are more driven to use them? Smh needs development & possible advertising help to get folk to the app.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out to us. We are still growing in some areas, so hopefully there will soon be more users. If you write me your e-mail connected to your Surge account on help@grizzlyapp.net, I can give you 10 days of free Premium membership, so you can properly test our app.

Great concept, too many scammers in it!

They have a great concept and platform. But they need to implement a better way to detect fake and scammer users! Talking to people miles away should be a Premium. This way I can probably stop getting contacted by 10-15 fake men (All ridiculously handsome; yes the scammers are so stupid they only use super handsome pics they steal from people on Facebook and Instagram and it is so easy to detect). I was even once contacted by this Instagram personality! They dont even know some of these pics are from famous people. So sad!

An Elegant Addition to the World of Gay Dating!

I appreciate the simplicity and clean, elegant/efficient UI of the app. There is a minimum of commercial intrusions, and surely as Grizzly is growing and refining, the community is increasingly larger and more varied. A fine addition to the world of gay dating!

Aprecio la simplicidad y la interfaz de usuario limpia, elegante / eficiente de la aplicación. Hay un mínimo de intrusiones comerciales, y seguramente a medida que Grizzly crece y se refina, la comunidad es cada vez más grande y más variada. ¡Una excelente adición al mundo de las citas gay!

Not worth the download.

This app isn’t anything to get excited about. There is a bare minimum of what you can do with a basic membership, meaning you can set the age and distance for filtering who you see. Everything else, you have to upgrade to a premium membership for.
Also, you’d think that the administrators would weed out dead profiles and scam/catfish profiles, but you’d be wrong. You keep getting messages from people looking for “long term relationships”, and either they’re after your personal information, or they’re trolling catfish that can’t take ‘no thanks’ for an answer.
Overall, a disappointment. I tried this app again after a few months, just to see how/if it had changed, and it hasn’t. Don’t waste your time getting this app, no matter what the 5star reviews say. You’ll get better results on apps like GROWLr and Scruff, and you’ll be a lot happier.

Thanks for your feedback. We are developing a new feature that should help us eliminate the scammers. In the meantime It would be very helpful if you could report them.

Great app, good people amazing support.

My husband and I truly enjoy your app. We liked it we can search for specific way we enjoyed talking to other people on the app. And we find that individuals of our specific caliber attentive as of this app. And that caliber is perfect for us. Lubo, thank you so much for checking in with us and we look forward to answering any of your questions as we love to interact with software developers to help them improve their software anyway possible but so far I have to tell you you seem to have a very solid piece of software.

Thanks.

Thank you. That's a fantastic review!

As BAD as it can be...

Initially I thought this app would be pretty cool. Instead I’ve found it’s about as bad as it can get. For the last week I’ve been unable to log into the app. A “We’re sorry. Some of the features are unavailable due to the maintenance.” error appears and then nothing. Killing the app starts the process again. Even the “web app” doesn’t work. All you get is a spinning wheel. An email to their “support” address has gone unanswered or even acknowledged.

Don’t waste your money. I’m glad I only purchased one month and then immediately suspended my subscription renewal.
