Ratings and Reviews
From bad to worse
I’ve had Grindr on and off for years but, after recent updates, it’s become unusable and I’m looking for an alternative.
The worst problem is, as others have said, the app causes my phone to stop working. The touchscreen, and sometimes home button, becomes unresponsive. If I can’t close the app, I have to restart my phone. An app this unstable really shouldn’t be in the App Store.
Adds are the other issue. Using the free app, I expect adds. Over the years adds on Grindr have sometimes been barely noticeable and sometimes a pain in the **** but they’ve never been as frequent and intrusive as now. Not only do adds always seem to pop up at the worst moment, such as when responding to a tap or message, but they’re timed and then force you to go to a download page. And that’s the ones that work. There are some I can only get rid of by closing Grindr.
Grindr is, surely, still the market leader in dating/hook up apps. Yet it seems determined to lose this position. It’s like it knows its days are numbered and is trying to grab as much money as possible before the shutters come down. I can’t see any other reason for making the free app so unappealing while hiking the prices of the paid for versions.

Loyal user from the begging till the end and this happens
App had few bugs over the years nothing to major I had same account for about 5 years no problems chatting to guys through the night as can’t sleep due to insomnia plus live in the middle of know where so bit of our side contact then 2 weeks ago at 4 am in the middle of talking to a friend half way access the country my the profile goes black and the message your profile has been suspended due to rule breaking So I email them to ask what is going on and apparently I had been trying to sale myself and sale drugs of my account which is a load of crap so I asked to see the allegations and some proof of me doing this to with I was told they do not have to show me anything or justify taking me off the site which had to br wrong and as a ultimate member you think they Would show me some evidence but from what I’ve been seeing they just seemed to be kicking quite a few pplL off for stupid reason and not giving any hint of evidence to show why if I’m wrong and did something wrong then fair play but to not even prove. It tthey blocking all paid members mid contracted and keeping the money wankers
Destroys your phone
I have an iPhone 13 and their latest updates have (like many others have already reported for WEEKS) destroyed my phone. Overheating, unresponsive screen and keyboard even after leaving the app, sometimes you need to restart your phone …. I already contacted their customer service. Not only are they unhelpful but they also ask for a recording of when the problem occurs, completely disregarding data privacy and the other numerous reviews highlighting these same issues.
Same feedback regarding the ads, it’s obnoxious that you pretend to need THIS MANY ads -that force us to be redirected to a download page on the app store- to offer a (terrible) free service. Free? Yeah but it’s pretty bad. Location is often unreliable. You got rid of the ethnicity filter supposedly to support BLM but as an African man I can tell you this is very inconvenient as this filter allowed me to speak to people from my community and avoid racists …. Too many escorts, drug dealers/users (“hnh” still not banned but the word “massage” is … go figure), constant bots, people who take screenshots and then blackmail you (unlimited expiring pictures should be free like Scruff does) ... and y’all don’t care. You think your users should PAY to use your app SAFELY. Your pricing and 2 tier subscription system is abusive and a complete rip-off.
