Grindr

Grindr lets anyone to steal pictures, no protection it does not protect gay community. Anyone can get a screenshot and use that picture or post anywhere else. Why Grindr cannot introduce something like a symbol on pictures (for example GR) and if someone uses a picture with with this symbol not allow to upload.
Recently I had a really bad experience. A crazy guy used my pictures as profile picture and described I have STD and drug resistant syphilis. I am a medical professional and I know how to look after myself. The same person used my Instagram in this profile. Grindr does not protect personal information.

Grindr is dangerous. Met the wrong group of gays, who were using meth. So I fell prey. 6 years of he'll on earth. Went from snorting it to injecting it like that. You start to have sex for drugs. It is horrifying if you are under age and you are on, Grindr deleted immediately I've almost been killed. I've been catfish so many times. Or it's a trap and you get killed that way.

I did get some entertainment via this site, but it did not go further. Please do not expect much from Grindr. You can get a lot more on AFGay.com
There are very few real people who are up for meetups and relationship.

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.

It's not the fake profiles or drug dealers as mentioned above. It's their "Customer Service" - Recently, a guy started harassing me, pretending to know who I was / where I lived, etc. etc. I maintained my composure, which was difficult and informed him that I was not interested and asked that he stop contacting me. I reported him as Grindr encourages you to do. That was two weeks ago. I've blocked ever since. Even after multiple appeals (they responded that they made a mistake and my account would be restored. NOPE. Still blocked. So, my advise - NEVER contact them / never report anyone. I'm the victim of harassment. I followed all of the rules and tried to protect other members from this creep, yet, I'm blocked and it makes no sense. No good deed goes unpunished. It's ridiculous and unfair.

Grinder has been purchased by a private gaming company in China. Between each keystroke, you have to sit through a two minute app. A game company in China knows nothing about the community this app was designed for. Since the complete takeover in January, the number, and required viewing time for ads has gone to 7%-80%.

You can't even type a simple sentence to someone without two minute interruptions every few keystrokes. The tone deafness is obvious when one sees ads for hunting, children's games, and birth control. Yes, there are some interested, but I don't think the advertisers would consider the money well spent.

If you like constantly getting messages from fake accounts, I'm talking 30-40 times a day, then you'll love grindr. For every real person that contacts you, there will be 99 that are fake. How do I know they are fake? They use the same "Hello handsome, where are you from? I'm Billy, from Chicago, looking for a life long relationship" script every time they contact you. I can tell within 2 or 3 sentences that the account is fake. Grindr just says report and block them, but this had gotten 100 times worse in the last six months.

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.

So, my account was suspended, apparently because I didn't follow the guidelines. I never wrote anything inappropriate in my profile nor would ever publicly post a nude picture. I've only been on it for like 2 weeks! I contacted them and after reviewing my account they re-implemented it. Then shortly after going back on it, surprise, I was banned again! After reaching out to them, their response was: "Your account will remain permanently banned" and that they can ban people for no reason.

I'm so disappointed with Grinder app,,,, I've stated many times in detail concerning imposters with a false army story and images making contact with me,,,, then all those guys who wish you to log in with a credit card for security purposes before we meet,,,,, it's all smoke and mirrors,,, I'm sure I'm not the only man experiencing false profiles with bad intentions,,,. I've laid out a complaint with no response,,,,,, this app does not insure honourable men!

I was a paying member for a year and played by the rules. Therefore I renewed my membership for a second year. Halfway through my membership, I received a notice that my account was banned. No explanation, no reasoning, no help. Arguing and pressing was futile. Grindr hid behind policy stating they protect their customers, yet leaving me to feel like a predator. Which I can assure you, I'm far from it. I'm certain I'm the victim of identity theft or some strange circumstance of falsification. Nonetheless, Grindr stated that when you're banned, you forfeit your membership fees. No reimbursement or pro rated refund. I'm not saying don't give Grindr a try. But if you're considering a paid membership, go with monthly or 6 months. In case you're wrongfully banned, you won't forfeit a whole year's membership.

It is inadmissible. They delete my account with no notice, directly as a depreciable dictator (maybe because they are in China style as their owners are from there). I denounced to customer service several times about the massive accounts making spam and prostitution. They might find it profitable all the dirty business and my voice was bothering them, so they closed my account. It is a shame. Where are my rights as a consumer, I pay for a whole year subscription and now with no previous advice, they decided to delete my account, and also with no proofs or similarly. It is a shame, we all should fight towards the goal this kind of app business works more transparently, respecting the consumer legislation. Thanks for reading my review.

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.
