A car crash of an app

The company must want this app to be the worst possible version of itself in the worst ways. Locking nearly every feature behind a paywall and pushing ads at every possible corner would make you think that they are trying to pay for the development of a functional app. The reality of it is is that this app is broken at its core now and the user experience is the worst I’ve seen from an app of this nature. The messaging system is broken now most of the time. Constantly getting false notifications for taps and messages only to find that there’s no new activity; my own messages being marked as “new message”; photos failing to load constantly; messages failing to send; UI elements vanishing from the home screen randomly forcing an app restart to get them back; bios are now randomly cutoff; and so much more. Aside from just the technical issues, there’s also the bots issues. So many bots that run rampant on the app. Please implement some form of verification system that doesn’t involve using just a phone number. Tinder and bumble have verified profiles that allow users to submit photos for verification. At least do that to reduce the fake profiles and catfish. So much work needs to be done to make this a usable app again, but right now it’s just absolutely broken.

On its way out it seems

All good things must end I suppose but Grindr didn’t *have* to end like this. The free version of this app is so limited and full of invasive ads that it is actually difficult to use it and when I have only the free version I use the app much less frequently. Well who cares I’m not paying for it the developers surely assume. Wrong, I ordinarily pay for a unlimited subscription but I am reconsidering that now because it feels like there are just less fresh faces on the app now and discrete dl people who won’t pay for a subscription because it’s so unpleasant to use. It’s just the same old people who pay for a subscription use the app 24/7 and who I’ve already met or I am not interested in. It seems like they know that their business doesn’t profit in the short term from people finding other people they like because then those two customers may not need to use the app anymore or use it less. Sounds profitable but they failed to realize that by doing the wrong thing and steering short term profits in terms of not focusing on customers getting what they want and instead being paying customers month after month, that they would ultimately destroy the who thing when the ripple effect of their greed slowly alienated the occasional or infrequent users. The same users are most sensitive to the poor user experience they thoughtlessly deliver. On top of that it’s hard to know the app is secure they don’t even have two factor authentication.

Ugh

Each update seems to put more and more behind a pay wall while blasting us with more and more intrusive and abusive ads. Search, a “new” feature that was recently touted, is gone. I can’t get message than a handful of people who are nearby since the number of profiles not behind a paywall was reduced, and since many people don’t show up when browsing with the travel feature (reduced from 3 to 1 the number you could unlock too message anyway). And those who show up as nearby but outside the range of who I can message are out of order and often nowhere near me, though the app implies they are much closer and all I need to do is purchase a plan at an insane amount for what this app can do. That is misleading at best. Can’t list my instagram handle anymore because I can’t connect the account (and let you sell tracking info to them) due to locked down settings in meta. So that has to be typed manually into the bio again, which takes up previous real estate since bios are so limited. You could put more characters into a tweet that you could with these bios, forcing a lot of people to go to abbreviations and very direct text that comes across as offensive. and I still get notifications even if notifications are turned off in the app or if a thread is muted if I still have the app open in the background. Turning off notifications or muting a thread should do just that at all times, not just when the app is closed.
