I did get some entertainment via this site, but it did not go further. Please do not expect much from Grindr. You can get a lot more on AFGay.com
There are very few real people who are up for meetups and relationship.
Grindr is dangerous. Met the wrong group of gays, who were using meth. So I fell prey. 6 years of he'll on earth. Went from snorting it to injecting it like that. You start to have sex for drugs. It is horrifying if you are under age and you are on, Grindr deleted immediately I've almost been killed. I've been catfish so many times. Or it's a trap and you get killed that way.
Grindr banned me for a second time for doing nothing wrong. I am sick of the crap anyway. Many of the people are professional prostitutes who use the site to make money. Others are there just to pay them. Many are underage, so, you take a HUGE chance when you meet them. Many are paid to get you to join other dating sites that charge money. The pictures of most of the people who have joined are not theirs. You find out that when you do a meet. Many are into hard core drugs. I found that out the hard way. Many are married. Some admit to it. Most don't. Stay away from this site under all circumsatances or you will regret it.
A couple months ago grindr gas had many bugs which they never fix and a few weeks ago I submitted a ticket for the app taking way too long to load everything I I received the automated response immediately saying they will reach out to me in a few days and that was may 31st with no response at all! I pay for premium and their customer service is trash. No help whatsoever! I've canceled for this reason and I'm deleting the app as well! Grindr is garbage. They don't care about their customers free or paying
This App sucks! With all of the money that you make off of this App and you can't fix the damn thing from constantly locking up? A lot of people on the App complain about it.
How does this piece of crap app get away with allowing only certain people to post nude photos? I've filed complaints about nudity and nothing happens to the photos. I've tried to post similar photos and my photos get blocked.
You know your site sucks when the dmv is better ran then grindr I cannot believe this site went public and its trade on the market apparently people to sell this stock asap
You people failed miserably
Grindr has gotten worse and worse. Now, I reach out to 1 person then endless commercials. Horrible s
Grindr isn't even a gay dating app anymore. It's now just trannies and straight homophobic men wishing to sleep with them and cheat on their wives.
Grindr supports this.
Their admin ban your account with no information on what you have done or how you have been falsely accused.
Grindr supports homophobic activity and do not care for the gay community.
It's the biggest sham app.
DONT DOWNLOAD OR SUBSCRIBE TO THIS HOMOPHOBIA SUPPORTING APP!
For years I've been trying to make another account you can't. It says phone number used too many times, of course they don't provide any support yet they want to charge $100's of dollars. I deleted one account that i managed to get working but I can't create a new one. To hell with them. That company needs to be investergated.
Grindr make it so difficult to in terms of subscription renewal or not.
Why the hell you need to sign up on one of those Google play applications. Could it be a simple yes or no if you want reoccurring renewal.
Grindr come.clean if you are getting some kickback for signing up in those applications.
Grindr is the worst gay hookup sight on the internet, not that the others are much better. The problem with anything anywhere these days, not just on the internet, is it's all about somebody making money.
1. the fake spam conman profiles or con-whatever (because you never know who's on the other end of a con) are out of control and Grindr Admin does NOTHING about it.
2. ad's in general are TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL! They freeze up your window and make you have to close the app and reopen it. I.e. I wouldn't buy an effin online Monopoly app if it where the last thing on earth and I was bored out of my mind! Freezes your window regardless if you are a paying subscriber or a free user so the other guy on the other end never knows if you are ghosting him or what? Great way to hook up! Way to go Grindr NOT!
3. most of the controls in the setting don't work consistently let alone work at all. I.e. I block the same guy 10 times a day and he reappears.
4. Profiles stay up long after you exit the app so other guys still think you are online.
I was just got booted off grinder, No reason given. Although I found legitimate people, in the grinder app. I was also being bombed by scammers. Mainly a lot of them claiming to be Chinese, their pictures look as tough they have been cut out of a GQ magazine. There are also a lot of white hustlers, selling their services. 90% of the contacts were from the individuals claiming to be Chinese, living hundreds of miles away from me. The rest were the masseurs selling their services. I wonder as to why the government stepped in,and shut down Craigslist, yet they continue to allow Grinder to get away with their crimes.
After being dissapointed with the site for things like recommending people 600kms away and generally being a pretty ordnary site I cancelled my account. I can comfirm that because when I tried to log on as a test it bassically asked me to rejoin. Antwat after 3 weeks I just got a notification from google play that $32.00 was taken from my account to pay for another month. I wonder how much money they are making from deleted accounts?
Worst site, won't return emails, sent 3three no return, band me for no reason or explanation, all they do is cater to scammers getting number then ur accounts and they do nothing about it, I told one what I thought and grindr responded right off warning me, I'm sure this goes on deaf ears.
I was on there website for just a few months. I went to sign on and it said my account was bad and suspended for NO REASON! I have email then many times asking why and all the say is they cant give out that information! I guess they pick random accounts and suspended or ban them. I have given them alot of money over the months and they treat you like this. IAM PAYING there damm salary for christ sake! WTH! Dont wast your money or give them your account number as well. NOT safe. Hope this helps others wanting to sign up. Thanks
Grindr literally bans paid accounts for no reason and they refuse to refund paid subscribers they ban! You try to explain the situation but they literally don't see to reason and they just ignore you when you try to appeal! They literally ban you for telling someone the price of tickets to an event in NYC you're meeting someone at and they use the excuse as "soliciting sex". So you can't tell a group of friends you're attending a concert in NYC and how much money the tickets are because if you're talking about money, you must obviously be selling sex! Grindr is a $#*!ing joke! Sniffies.com is better... at least they see to reason!
You pay a hundred dollars for a subscription but that doesn't even allow you to see who visited your profile - they want you to pay even more for the basics that other sites have for free even after you already paid a hundred bucks - will not be renewing - snake oil salesmen - pond scum feeding off of the gay community
They now want to minimize how many profiles you can view so you will be forced to pay money for membership. Even when you purchase one, they want you to purchase other memberships in addition to the first one for other services. This is a horrible tactic. I miss they way it was prior to this corporate change.
This new Grindr is not making anything easier it is making meeting much worse. The direction of the platform has changed from a place where men meet to a place where the rich can make money off of men not meeting. Going public. Almost their biggest mistake ever. Behind the charging out the butt just to see 600 profiles. Wow.
1) there are a lot of chat bots (maybe 5-10%) from places like China and Azerbaijan; these are identifiable by their lack of a geolocation and professional photos. If you'd like to engage in unending sexy chat this might be a good app for you. These profiles became more prevalent after grindr became web-based.
2) there are a lot of prostitutes; these are identifiable by the phrases "lost chats" (because grindr deleted their profile for obvious criminal activity) and the word "visiting" - what they really mean is traveling prostitute.
3) there appears to be a substantial and homeless and criminal element. Maybe they intend to rob you in your own home or have you show up in a car, ("Car Fun") than stick a knife or a gun in your ribs and drive away in your car. Have fun explaining that to the police.
4) there are a lot of just plain old fake profiles. There are an even greater number of false profiles with guys claiming to be something that they are not, such as hosting or clean.
5) You don't get what you pay for: grindr has a lot of ads for children's games which you cannot bypass and if you upgrade you continue to get those same ads for games. As a result of this grindr is a very slow process. You might even spend more time looking at ads then being able to browse or search. In the end every time I clicked on a profile it was an ad for a paid upgrade which I'm not going to be willing to pay for for the reasons listed above. At that point I uninstalled grindr from my phone. It's
In a nutshell it's Not so Great.
If grindr mandated geolocation, blocked the phone numbers of prostitutes, got rid of the web-based grindr, insisted on one XXX non-portrait full frontal and one non-portrait XXX side photo it would cut out a lot of the fake, false and criminal profiles and allow grindr to charge a weekly or monthly subscription without any ads. This would also probably result in a greater number of actual & real people participating in the app but unfortunately this is not their business model.
Answer: 19.99. But chances are high that they will ban your profile after you've paid for subscription. Grindr has taken to stealing money from consumers by banning accounts without giving any reason. My patience ran out and I switched to http :// GCamsYou.com I like it much better! Boys provide great entertainment and solid support. No tricks with bogus charges and sudden ban. The best thing was actually having two dates offline! It's early days and I'm going with the flow and see where it goes, but so far it's the best platform I have dealt with. Don't waste your time on Grindr! They have lost touch with reality and turned into a total fraud. Catastrophic quality of people - scammers, bots, fakes, drug-dealers, etc and sneaky "support"! They don't police their own platform and don't value their customers anymore.
Answer: Grindr will only help you if you're straight or bi. They encourage homophobia and homophobic remarks and I have reported someone in the past, but because he was straight, he didn't get banned.
Answer: Yes. Please contact me at petermanwally@gmail.com. I'd like to know more about pursuing legal recourse.
Answer: Because Grindr is inconsistent. What do you expect from a less than mediocre website and obtuse management
