GrindrReviews 183

During my time on this site, I have had the worst experience that I couldve imagined. I was mugged by a guy and his gang, and when I tried to warn others in the area, by writing on my profile, I was permanently banned, with no explanation. His profile was allowed to remain and he met others (probably to groom them. They came and told me). When I tried to complain and get a refund for my annual subscription, all my emails and messages were flat ignored. They had obviously banned my home IP and my phone IPs. There are drug dealers, muggers, con artists, prostitutes, violent people, hidden profiles, no security measures, terrible customer service, it is the most expensive, you get stood up a lot, people are rude, nearly everyone is practicing unsafe sex. I was a victim of crime twice through this site, and they offered absolutely no support or advice, they just banned me for posting a warning statement to my community. It's a terrible site and the owners do not care enough to even explain why you get banned, even when you point out that you are entitled to information under Data Protection laws. They do not deserve their licenses. They should not be trusted with public safety.

I have never used a gay dating site. I am 66 years old and just broke up with my partner. I joined Grindr because I knew my partner had used the site. Boy, was I naive. Most of the participants wanted to meet at my place only. Sounds like a great way to look over my residence for future burglary! And some participants sounded like trash. Maybe I'm living in the past, but with all the other comments I've read from other reviewers, it sounds like Grindr is a trap and a snare.

This grindr app is becoming so frustrating to use. As a free member I have no issues with watching short ads to help keep grindr free however now you can no longer browse in privacy because most ads come along with full volume sound and now going for more than 10 seconds, further more ads that won't closer and when they do just go to another ad. Clearly their bots don't work very well either so many and constantly profiles messages and taps either fake, escort/massage or leading to external sex sites. Constant app updates that never seem to resolve other issues on the site. It's certainly not the way to inspire me to pay for a membership to a site that is so unstable

Lack of any verification or photo or phone verification.

As a result, I've seen numerous illegal content, fake profiles of people pretending to be other people and anyone joining at any age.

Grindr aren't taking ownership of this seriously huge safety concern that is a wide spread issue and not just a odd individual case, as the reviews clearly show.

Their report "system" is none exsiting.

Needs to be passed on to authorities, as this is a safety concern in regards to verification and protecting others.

Basically the worst. Where to begin? Respect is given and (handsomely) paid (and ohhhh my how expensive Grindr+ costs!) for this atrocity app - the first of its kind me thinks. Technically it buggy AF. It crashes constantly and "lost chats" is so common it should be a pre loaded 'saved phrase' feature. This gay legacy is stacked with users who are whack: catfishes, time wasters, bullies, bluffers and bots.

I can attest that yes good dudes and times are to be had on the platform, but they are few and far between. You (or some Jack-off) will waste countess, precious hours of your life - usually during a time of dire need (and vulnerably) when you genuinely were seeking satisfaction and socialization. The app has killed many young homo's swagger, their social skills and decimated the culture of cruising and nightlife industry. However, Grindr is not intrinsically a bad platform or novelty, but would the world be a better place without the orange scourge: ohhhhh Yes.

I made an unlimited subscription (60 dollars per month in my country). Grindr banned me without explanation when I had 1.5 months left. They didn't even bother to answer when I contacted them despite making me lost more than 60 dollars. They seem to have 0 respect for their customer, you should look on the Internet they have shady practices (HIV scandal)with using your data and don't seem to respect RGPD/GDPR. If you still use this app don't subscribe to anything + signal the app to google/Apple!

Plus honestly, WTF do I have to actually say yes to everyone to be sure not to be ban? Does Grindr promote rape or sexual aggression?

Grindr will ban you and they will Just take someones word for it

About 1 hour ago some Local people nearby messaged me on a fake Blank account they said send $#*! pic i said face pic he said " your pic gets mine " i said i'm not playing your childish games so then he said your fake you always use the same pic i said at least i got 3 face pic unlike you so then he decides to report me for not sending him my nude pic and i'm banned on his word and say so yet No proof or Questions asked

Grindr recently banned my account one month after purchasing a one-year subscription saying my profile had been reported for engaging in "spammy" activity which it defined as "attempts to solicit another user's personal information or prompting users to visit outside links," neither of which I have done. When I asked them to provide a specific instance of my doing what they alleged, they wouldn't respond, nor would they refund the cost of the 11 months remaining on my subscription.

Same as everyone: After five years with the same profile, they blocked with with no warning, saying (FALSELY) there was something hateful or racist about it. To my inquiries they sent two automated message, them cut me off from the help site. No warning, no explaination, no refund.
And they mention for me to turn off my automatic payments, which I think is a cover your $#*! thing for them so they can keep charging you if you happen to forget, even though you are shut out. I encourage everyone to SEND A COMPLAINT to the Better Business Bureau, who have already revived quite a lot (you can view on their site).

UNREASONABLE, DISGUSTING ILLEGAL ACTS!
Blocked my NEW PHONE for NO REASON! I did not even have time to upload my photo! What the H*LL IS GOING ON?
Talking with support, I've been asked TONS of questions about my iOS, my this and that, and then they wrote that "my answers do not comply with their standards" (what is that even?) and that they can block whoever they want for no reason.
What the h*ll is going on and how is that even legal? Are they promoting coronavirus by blocking people so that they meet whoever they can elsewhere without too much of consideration? Did they sell the app to someone anti-LGBT? What is even going on?

Someone please create a new and improved app to compete with this p. O. s. The same complaints as everyone else. Bots, WAY TOO MANY LENGTHY ADS, I've heard a horror story of a very intelligent guy being blackmailed and Grindr not helping in any way. AND, the pic issue. There is NO rhyme nor reason to their approving pics. Mine for example is me, seated in public, fully dressed, a shirt and conservative j crew shorts - deemed "to sexual" / inappropriate - wtf? Meanwhile, one member is wear a g-string the size of dental floss, with one leg up on a railing? Another on all fours in a speedo, testicles hanging... neither cute, neither hot. So, it is very strange to me. Different rules for different folks. That doesn't work for me.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! WE SHOULD ALL COMPLAIN!
I have just been discriminated by Grindr support for NO reason. They just banned my profile RIGHT AFTER I created it - they say I "violated some guidelines", which I DIDN'T (in fact, I had even no time to fill out my profile OR even to talk to someone!), and they refused to lift the ban for no reason. The support member told me somebody reported me and does not even give me a reason - for what. I am 100% sure I did not even talk to anyone, NOR did I write anything unusual in my profile (again, I had no time to even finish it).

I live in Brussels and I am planning to go tomorrow to complain to the European Commission as they already had ethnicity discrimination issues, but this is now UTTER INSANITY! They are discriminating gay people AT RANDOM!

THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW IN EUROPE!
