GrindrReviews 183

Ok... I DO like the Grindr format, BUT... their computer KEEPS BANNING MY ACCOUNT for no apparent reason! I am not rude to people as I chat with them. I do not stalk. I do not have an inappropriate pic in as my profile pic. I DO NOT send "repeat" messages to people that may be "flagged" as spam. But... my account(s) (I keep making new ones!) KEEP getting flagged and banned by their terrible computer. At first their customer service would unban me... but now I hear NOTHING back from them. Very unprofessional and frustrating!

This is a weak app, looks shiny, professional and plasticy but it's amateurish. I don't think this company has the money or the resources to come up with the amount of power necessary to provide good consistent accurate service to all the members that it promises to be the gay communication mecca for. Messages get drop or delayed for up to 2 or 3 days sometimes. People in your network get pissed because they think youre blowing them off this not a help to the gay community this how to make enemies really fast! And these people want you to pay for awful service? They gotta be kidding.

They banned me for literally no reason and claimed I posted "inappropriate content" even though I barely got to use it for less than five minutes and all I did was post a pic of my face while wearing a polo shirt. I have refused to have any pics of me taken since then and that was five years ago. This $#*!ing app made me see that my face is apparently so ugly and offensive to to look at that it needed to be banned. When I contacted the company about this, it took them six hours to reply to me and another two for them to admit that they were wrong and they tried to get me to agree to having it months of premium for free. I told them to $#*! off and that what they did was totally wrong and that I'd never use them again or even recommend them and that I'd tell literally everyone I meet to never use their app.

I don't know how photos, headlines and profile content get reviewed but there is clearly a lack of consistency to what gets allowed and what does not. I cancelled my paid membership after seeing several profiles advertising for sex with dogs - I reported dozens of times, only to see those same profiles reappear. Also, their complaint process and request for support is ridiculously arduous. Clearly they don't want to hear complaints.

Grindr used to be an ok-ish app. Nothing special - especially when compared with its Windows Phone counterpart called Meet'em (by the way it was so good that Grindr shut it down by denying it an access to their network).

It both amazes and infuriates me how on Earth this app is still having such a big user base, when you realize that all Grindr developers care about is your wallet.

In exchange you get this "user experience": 1.) Glitches, crashes. 2.) Aggressive advertising with ads playing sounds (!). 3.) No customer support, no feedback. 4.) Random and undeserved account bans while at the same time bots and scamers are unaffected 5.) Vanishing and delayed messages. 6.) Problems logging in (invalid token errors) resetting password. 7.) Absolutely horrible, cluttered interface.

Stay away if you plan to remain sane.

I get contacted at least once a month from guys wanting money for sex. The last time was July 30, and the msg was "Pay for Sex". I immediately reported it to Grinder and have done so every week since and the account is still active. Conclusion: Grinder approves, supports and promotes PROSTITUTION! If you use an Apple device then write to Apple and let them know. If enough people write to Apple then they will remove this crappy app from the Apple Store and no one with an Apple device will be able to download their app.

Then I have lost all hope and give up completely. Plenty of bots, fake profiles, useless ads, stupid popups, people using fake pictures or stealing other guys pictures, guys with huge egos, sneaking around their partners, etc, etc, etc. And if you're over 40, you damn well better lie about your age and hope you get away with it. I live in a small town that has no local Pride group or outreach agencies. The nearest large city is an hour and half drive away, something that's not always practical. My experience with this App has left me completely dumbfounded that people can be so rude and condescending. It baffles me that my brothers and sisters have reached the point of utter hatred towards one another, even to the point of physical and verbal threats. Do NOT USE Grindr unless you want your self-esteem shattered. Absolutely pointless and useless App as far as I'm concerned. I'd likely have better luck with an escort agency.

The service is not in the level of the money taken!
They seems enjoy banning people. Even if they ban for silly reasons sometimes and without a pre warn or notice we still understand they are their guidelines! But when people are paying you money for membership and are regular customers you have to find a way to resolve the problem instead of taking their money then you close their profiles.if banning accounts with membership is that easy why giving people their money back is not easy too! I was a regular customer very active for 5 years roughly but I will never pay again and I think other apps give more freedom and respect their customers who are paying money for service. There is block option for any other member who is not happy to talk with someone else. No need for the app team to act like parents to ban any one...! The app is in its declining.
I still have to thank the app for taking the step for me to stop using it as I was always thinking I have to stop in some point to save more time in other useful things for me in my life save money that I pay on this app and then my account got closed!

It is the worst, the most racist and discriminating gay app on earth. I have come across tons of profiles which showcase their torsos [headless images] and even the butts and they are all passed the "moderation check", while I had tried a number of times uploading similar image and they keep rejecting it.

I strongly believe those bloody racists staffs working in front of their computers are the racists ones and bloody daft. This would be my last membership with them and would never come back to this bloody app!
