Grindr

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.

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!

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.

Grindr is a total scam. Full of drug users, bots, trolls, prostitutes, and other garbage. They literally make any conversation a potential violation of terms. The app that normalized "nude pics" has a ban on nudity, IT IS A TOTAL JOKE! Their code of conduct is insanely vague, impossibly broad and they try and declare an authoritarian reign over refunds! This app is a total POS! They take your money and then ban access under undisclosed violations of terms. Their annual fee will automatically renew, even if you are "banned". SERIOUS GARBAGE!

This app discriminates against it's Transgender users and is of poor taste. They prohibit transwomen from wearing bathing suits even at the beach or anything close to showing skin but every other profile is of gay men in nothing but underwear or thongs. It's full of scammers and Gay men message guys that clearly have ONLY TS in their profiles dogging out an degrading transwomen in hopes for a 2 minute hook up. It's pretty clear that they have no Transgender moderators.

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.

Grindr, banned my account and would not refund my remaining 11 months subscriptions. The reason was because they said my photo was posted against their guidelines. However, all photos that are posted on any Grindr account is approved by Grindr staff before being posted. One would think the photos meets the guidelines if the staff approved it? Grindr did not ask me to remove the photo that the staff approved. Grindr did not provided a warning or remove the photo. Grindr just banned my account and took the money for services not provided. In fact, I only got one month of service for 12 months paid. When asked about the remaining 11 months they said sorry. This is not an honest way to operate a business and I encourage everyone to stay away from Grindr. In fact, run away from this Business... run, run, run. Clearly dishonest.

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.

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 have been on this site for a few years recently they have gotten out of control with spammers trying to get you to go to other sites. This seems to be more prevalent on the subscription account. The account I pay for is spammed 20 times an hour, which discourages me to use it. I have a friend we tried with his free account and surprise, not a single spammer. They have to be allowing this activity in an attempt to generate more income. I do not see anything on the web where Grindr is suing anybody or taking any legal action for interfering with their business, so it must be a partnership. Oh well, I am now saving money every month.

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.

All of their annoying advertising has been related to gambling. Their advertising on gambling is imposed on the use with poo ups that cannot be deleted. Their web site won't function at all if BlockAd is installed. All in all a very manipulative and deceptive web site
