If you are paying for GRINDr Ads I will let you know they have so many problems in their platforM that they are basically stealing your money. We spent thousands with them and after not having a single convertion I decided to run a few reports most of the devices are showing just a black ad.they ignore all the problems, but many of this bugs are even visible if you just try to use their platform

Wouldn't even leave one star. Was permanently banned from Grindr because my profile said "sorry no trans" I was reported and given no chance to even explain or appeal the ban, wasn't even aware that was rude to say! Anyone know how I can formally report Grindr and get my account back!

Nothing on this app but underage kids, drug dealers, and drug users. They should be shut down and Apple and Google should be shut down for allowing this company to get away with it.

Unfair policies
March 6, 2023

Grindr appears to ban profiles of innocent individuals who merely reply to offenders to protect themselves but appears to take no notice of serious crimes or insults on behalf of offenders. There is absolutely no policing, particularly with regard to foreign languages. This needs to be improved, otherwise the app should disappear from the market.

Attached you'll find an offender insulting his interlocutor, who insists on wanting to know their origin (although the person is multicultural, with a mixed background), which underlines racist or ethnicist behaviour on behalf of the offender.

Unfair suspension without reason
January 26, 2023

Purchased "top" level subscription. Suspended without a reason being offered. Waiting a long time to hear result of appeal against suspension. Meantime lost everything, past contacts, messages (including exchanged email addresses and numbers and pictures), details of favourites, contacts. In my view "not guilty" of anything. Trying to get refund of access payment (originally was for a year, about six moths left) unsuccessful/unavailable. Lousy service, think thrice!

Poor Customer Service
December 14, 2022

Although the gay community elected to use Grindr as a method to cruise, the product itself is constantly unstable and regularly down for a reason or another. Memberships are extortionate and do not reflect the level of service the app offers. Customer service is inexistant and one is treated simply as a wallet cash can be extracted from. Replies to issues raised via the help system are pro-forma, issued by a computer. Being aware of issues and glitches slowing down the app or getting it down is one thing but experiencing, first hand, the treatment reserved to customers by their customer service is quite a different experience all together. There is no surprise in finding out mass migration from Grindr to competitors like FabGuys or Scruff... Reasonable membership cost, reliable apps or platforms and issues are treated and solve by human beings who treat their customers like ones.

Terrible, waste of time.
December 3, 2022

At one time when this site got started it was pretty good, but not any more. Between the completely phony ads, to the hookers wanting drugs or money, to the prick teasers playing games, this site is a joke. Too bad you can't give negative star reviews because Grindr would get a -5 stars. Pass them by and save your money.

The app was nice in the beginning, then they started to make money - it's fair as no service is for free.
Then they wanted more money - ok advertisements and paid accounts with more functionalities... now they became unlimited greedy. Paying for Xtra account (subscription for a whole year) and they changing rules during the game, removing existing and basic functionalities which I pay for. And forcing to buy the highly overpriced unlimited version. Not gonna extend my subscription as I pay money and receive not much more than in a free account.
Not mentioning they they have no control over age verification and daily spams, and aggressive escort profiles.
They should be suied for using the LGBT+ community as they became main app for us and they're using the situation in very inappropriate and greedy way.
Very bad strategy. I hope their position will be taken over by new app which os not only looking to get money from us.

Like most gay dating apps, this is no longer an app just for gay men. "Queers", women, trans men everywhere. Grindr wants to please everyone, so why not just kick out real gay men and let everyone in.

LESS than ZERO stars.
August 9, 2022

It's not the fake profiles or drug dealers as mentioned above. It's their "Customer Service" - Recently, a guy started harassing me, pretending to know who I was / where I lived, etc. etc. I maintained my composure, which was difficult and informed him that I was not interested and asked that he stop contacting me. I reported him as Grindr encourages you to do. That was two weeks ago. I've blocked ever since. Even after multiple appeals (they responded that they made a mistake and my account would be restored. NOPE. Still blocked. So, my advise - NEVER contact them / never report anyone. I'm the victim of harassment. I followed all of the rules and tried to protect other members from this creep, yet, I'm blocked and it makes no sense. No good deed goes unpunished. It's ridiculous and unfair.

Garbage
July 22, 2022

The owner is a communist chinaman and the way the app is run, with idiotic rules, data collection is indicative of that, plus people get banned for no reason, which is a classic chinese method for social networking apps. Boycott china, boycott this app.
