“Grindr sucks - can't get help”

John S.

For years I've been trying to make another account you can't. It says phone number used too many times, of course they don't provide any support yet they want to charge $100's of dollars. I deleted one account that i managed to get working but I can't create a new one. To hell with them. That company needs to be investergated.

Grindr isn't even a gay dating app anymore. It's now just trannies and straight homophobic men wishing to sleep with them and cheat on their wives.
Grindr supports this.
Their admin ban your account with no information on what you have done or how you have been falsely accused.
Grindr supports homophobic activity and do not care for the gay community.
It's the biggest sham app.
DONT DOWNLOAD OR SUBSCRIBE TO THIS HOMOPHOBIA SUPPORTING APP!

Tip for consumers:
This is the worst app ever.
If you download this app you are supporting homophobia and the spread of diseases.

Didn’t even get a chance before my account was banned under no circumstances.

Grindr make it so difficult to in terms of subscription renewal or not.
Why the hell you need to sign up on one of those Google play applications. Could it be a simple yes or no if you want reoccurring renewal.
Grindr come.clean if you are getting some kickback for signing up in those applications.

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.

How does this piece of crap app get away with allowing only certain people to post nude photos? I've filed complaints about nudity and nothing happens to the photos. I've tried to post similar photos and my photos get blocked.

Pros-i like its free and very few are nice, cons however I don't like how some people there are distant and only care about themselves most of the time on there, it's not good for meeting, I live in area with not much ppl in my town, however 20 miles away is a big university, some of them college guys are not good ppl and are money users, most of ppl(the college university $users)on grindr would have sex with pretty much anyone, however they get mad at you because they want you to do what they want you to do, I haven't done illegal stuff on grindr and won't do it.

Purchased "top" level subscription. Suspended without a reason being offered. Waiting a long time to hear result of appeal against suspension. Meantime lost everything, past contacts, messages (including exchanged email addresses and numbers and pictures), details of favourites, contacts. In my view "not guilty" of anything. Trying to get refund of access payment (originally was for a year, about six moths left) unsuccessful/unavailable. Lousy service, think thrice!

Tip for consumers:
Avoid

Worst site, won't return emails, sent 3three no return, band me for no reason or explanation, all they do is cater to scammers getting number then ur accounts and they do nothing about it, I told one what I thought and grindr responded right off warning me, I'm sure this goes on deaf ears.

After being dissapointed with the site for things like recommending people 600kms away and generally being a pretty ordnary site I cancelled my account. I can comfirm that because when I tried to log on as a test it bassically asked me to rejoin. Antwat after 3 weeks I just got a notification from google play that $32.00 was taken from my account to pay for another month. I wonder how much money they are making from deleted accounts?

Works as it should. I've never had any trouble with getting banned or my pictures having to be censored etc. I will say it is rather buggy and the guys on here are rather shallow but as an app is not terrible. I've used it since they launched and they've done a long way. Their prices for premium membership is absurd however and I won't pay it. (20 bucks a month)

I was just got booted off grinder, No reason given. Although I found legitimate people, in the grinder app. I was also being bombed by scammers. Mainly a lot of them claiming to be Chinese, their pictures look as tough they have been cut out of a GQ magazine. There are also a lot of white hustlers, selling their services. 90% of the contacts were from the individuals claiming to be Chinese, living hundreds of miles away from me. The rest were the masseurs selling their services. I wonder as to why the government stepped in,and shut down Craigslist, yet they continue to allow Grinder to get away with their crimes.

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.

If you are paying for GRINDr Ads I will let you know they have so many problems in their platforM that they are basically stealing your money. We spent thousands with them and after not having a single convertion I decided to run a few reports most of the devices are showing just a black ad.they ignore all the problems, but many of this bugs are even visible if you just try to use their platform

Grindr appears to ban profiles of innocent individuals who merely reply to offenders to protect themselves but appears to take no notice of serious crimes or insults on behalf of offenders. There is absolutely no policing, particularly with regard to foreign languages. This needs to be improved, otherwise the app should disappear from the market.

Attached you'll find an offender insulting his interlocutor, who insists on wanting to know their origin (although the person is multicultural, with a mixed background), which underlines racist or ethnicist behaviour on behalf of the offender.

This new Grindr is not making anything easier it is making meeting much worse. The direction of the platform has changed from a place where men meet to a place where the rich can make money off of men not meeting. Going public. Almost their biggest mistake ever. Behind the charging out the butt just to see 600 profiles. Wow.

Tip for consumers:
Grindr, if this were a tangible product it would be bad bad plastic dime store shoes masquerading as Sketchers masquerading as Gucci but in all actuality Highly over priced plastic bags the wearer is enchanted by magic to think he HAS shoes on.... sad thing is people.. there is little left in the way of meeting anyone anymore.

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.

I just didn't feel like these folks had the consumer's best interest. Also I felt they tracked your conversations and adjusted your feed more as a retaliatory procedure. I had paid for 90 days and felt that once they received my funds. They no longer had to communicate one on one about any mistakes or advantages in the usage! Bye Grindr you suck! My opinion.

Please help. When I upgraded, I thought I chose the monthly payment option. I was surprised to see the whole annual fee go off my account. How do I fix this. To be billed monthly.
