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.

Grindr autobarn is a money maker for the company.
The staff say sorry lots but don't mean it.
Site should be investigated for criminal offences, stealing money and personal information.
Poor service don't waste your time.

I just didn't feel like these folks had the consumer's best interest. Also I felt they tracked your conversations and adjusted your feed more as a retaliatory procedure. I had paid for 90 days and felt that once they received my funds. They no longer had to communicate one on one about any mistakes or advantages in the usage! Bye Grindr you suck! My opinion.

I would leave my phone out at work. I don't look at my bank stamens but I did this time. I found the app hidden on my phone and they said I was banned. I really don't care but it is the point like I herd it a web site where guys hook up on. What a great company.

Thieves

This is the second year that I have had money stolen from my account from grindr. I have never wanted to upgrade. And yet its taken £72 twice.
I contacted them and they have appologies. But still no money back. Be very careful its scamming money.

I have been banned so many times on grinder that I now realize it's not worth the effort to convince the gods of gay hookup sex site that they allow to many customers to be blackmailed or blackballed
For the most trivial reasons and if ur pictures are more attractive than some old crows that get jealous you will be banned.
$#*! GRINDER

It's not the best app
January 2, 2022

Pros-i like its free and very few are nice, cons however I don't like how some people there are distant and only care about themselves most of the time on there, it's not good for meeting, I live in area with not much ppl in my town, however 20 miles away is a big university, some of them college guys are not good ppl and are money users, most of ppl(the college university $users)on grindr would have sex with pretty much anyone, however they get mad at you because they want you to do what they want you to do, I haven't done illegal stuff on grindr and won't do it.

Pure garbage
December 27, 2021

This app is mostly a thinly veiled front for prostitutes, drug dealers, con artists and scammers, and Grindr itself is complicit in such behavior with its uneven and biased enforcement of its so-called community guidelines.

These people are money hungry pieces of S! They do nothing to deal with hookers spam or repeat illegals. They just don't give a F**K! And they seriously expect people to pay for this abuse? They should be shut down. The only thing keeping them alive is hormones! Bastards!

I've been using Grindr for ten years. I have witnessed it's rapid descent into dumpster fire. The subscription went from €6 a month to €20 a month only now you get LESS features, as they want you to pay €40 a month for the unlimited membership… really it's a con.

On top of that the app is owned by straight people who don't care at all about our community, just profits. They also use algorithms to permanently ban members, I was permanently banned recently despite not breaking ANY rules (as I said, I've used the app for ten years and I know exactly what is and isn't appropriate and what breaks the community guidelines) and with no reply from the team despite numerous attempts to contact them, I assume they are doing this to steal money. AVOID.

I've also now sent them a GDPR request which legally they must fulfil, if you are an EU citizen I recommend doing this as well as they legally have to hand over any and all data they hold about you, including any internal notes they attach to your file.

I beg all queer people, leave this app and let's find a new place to communicate, play, and celebrate our sexuality

Gringr discriminates against certain people. They allow some people to post $#*! pics while blocking others.
