Grindr

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! WE SHOULD ALL COMPLAIN!
I have just been discriminated by Grindr support for NO reason. They just banned my profile RIGHT AFTER I created it - they say I "violated some guidelines", which I DIDN'T (in fact, I had even no time to fill out my profile OR even to talk to someone!), and they refused to lift the ban for no reason. The support member told me somebody reported me and does not even give me a reason - for what. I am 100% sure I did not even talk to anyone, NOR did I write anything unusual in my profile (again, I had no time to even finish it).

I live in Brussels and I am planning to go tomorrow to complain to the European Commission as they already had ethnicity discrimination issues, but this is now UTTER INSANITY! They are discriminating gay people AT RANDOM!

THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW IN EUROPE!

This app is horrible. Whenever I try to create an account it says that I have reached the max amount of accounts. I have contacted Grindr suppprt and they have not helped me at all.

WOW... I thought grindr would be a great app to use for meeting other gay guys in my community... I'd rather go to a gay bar and drink myself to drunkenness!

I've been using Grindr for ten years. I have witnessed it's rapid descent into dumpster fire. The subscription went from €6 a month to €20 a month only now you get LESS features, as they want you to pay €40 a month for the unlimited membership… really it's a con.

On top of that the app is owned by straight people who don't care at all about our community, just profits. They also use algorithms to permanently ban members, I was permanently banned recently despite not breaking ANY rules (as I said, I've used the app for ten years and I know exactly what is and isn't appropriate and what breaks the community guidelines) and with no reply from the team despite numerous attempts to contact them, I assume they are doing this to steal money. AVOID.

I've also now sent them a GDPR request which legally they must fulfil, if you are an EU citizen I recommend doing this as well as they legally have to hand over any and all data they hold about you, including any internal notes they attach to your file.

I beg all queer people, leave this app and let's find a new place to communicate, play, and celebrate our sexuality

Grindr will ban you and they will Just take someones word for it

About 1 hour ago some Local people nearby messaged me on a fake Blank account they said send $#*! pic i said face pic he said " your pic gets mine " i said i'm not playing your childish games so then he said your fake you always use the same pic i said at least i got 3 face pic unlike you so then he decides to report me for not sending him my nude pic and i'm banned on his word and say so yet No proof or Questions asked

Its worst. After upgraded my account from free to premium member( US65), suddenly they permanently ban my account, when i contacted to customer care, they said phrases are against the guidline. I couldnt understand, as a premium member, i dont have freedom to write something? I didnt write againt to anyone or anything. What F*****,, guys be careful, grindr is cheating app. Be carefull.
If something (phrases) is wrong moderator should edit it. F. right? I just paid 67US$ for one year. Now they ban permenantely. I hate grindr.

The reason why I am reviewing Grindr is that many people use dating apps for social, dating potentials, and hookups. I believe people need to be aware and not have a false sense of security.
I have had a paid membership with Grindr before and it was okay, I do think there is way too much potential scams of new members that seem to have a very dated pic (90"s) and misinformation about their stats. The pic doesn't seem to match with the person's weight or age. It seems obvious it's probably "Bots"(robots). People (fake) constantly ask for my phone to text and comment how attractive I am even though I have no pic only one with the beach or nature. I do like my privacy. Many METH addicts are on there trying to get me to buy them drugs which I immediately block.
Also, a lot of guys with roses (meaning hustlers/prostitution). The potential crime seems to be when someone immediately asks what my job is? Or if I am alone (not necessarily a crime but, when it's immediate it's noticeable).
I stopped alerting Grindr about the scams because it has gotten out of hand (too numerous to count).
Though it seems to have gotten better in my area (60 miles from a major city) when googling Murders and assaults on Grindr alone it's very alarming. I am sure they are working on this but, it seems to be mostly on Grindr and not so much on some of the other apps.
I am reviewing this so people don't naively give too much information to someone they don't know.
Be aware and act accordingly.: :)

Worst app ever, ton of bots who are Pic collecting, people stealing pictures from web sites to make them it, its them bots also so not interested, Gay Grindr is not a support of boy next door BOY COTT GRindr

Grindr staff are BULLIES & LIARS and Very dishonest they will make FALSE allegations about you saying you did all this stuff they wont send any proof to support it they will expect you to believe it they said i was being " abusive ' when asked for proof all they said was " we can not disclose this "

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.

Grindr is a scam app to steal your money they will take your money then refuse to refund it they think an account you paid for is still there's they will take all your money then block your account for no reason then make some FAKE story up they wont send any proof they expect you to believe what their saying then they will hide behind their rules your paying for an account your not even using and they say NO refunds and the account is blocked permanently so your paying for an account they blocked or no reason they won't unblock it or give you a refund

I very really go on Grindr because the simple fact is the majority of the people on there are just $#*!s they think they're the s*** they think they're God's gift change humanity and they treat people like s*** and not only does it hurt but it makes me feel like s*** and it makes me want to kill myself I f****** hate grinder it sucks and to all you people who go on Grindr go f*** yourself you suck your arrogant and you have no need to be I hope you get AIDS and die for real I do I pray for that everyday. SO grinder you can go and f*** yourself and suck my penis

Grindr is banning 1000s of inicont profile users and NOT banning drug sellers sex workers scammers and under age profile users putting other profile users at risk of criminal offences and prison time in the UK there is no re address if you are banned no appeal the site owners are corrupt in promoting criminal activity making the hole use of the app flawed if problems

Nothing on this app but underage kids, drug dealers, and drug users. They should be shut down and Apple and Google should be shut down for allowing this company to get away with it.

Was banned on grindr. Contacted them countless times. And the response allways the same they say it was drugs.
NO DRUGS! AND I DO NOT SMOKE! I DONT DO DRUGS! PLEASE!

But a lot of escorts, weed ofering, illegal and imoral acts hour after hour that is allowed.

I think the app at the final will be just BOTS!

Grindr seem to go out of their way to ignore reports of sexual harassment or crime on their app. If you report harassment, you get banned! If you email, they ignore the reports.

I was spammed several times a day. Eventually I reported every spam hoping it would stop. It increased and then I was banned from using the app. Horrible business model.

I got banned from site, when contacted the customer support, a canned mail was sent staying i bullied, harassed and was racist. Idiots that's too much to say about a individual. I felt disturbed as that is not my nature.

When asked for chat transcript I was told sorry to let you go, we can't provide. After that my numerous mails remain unanswered. They treat LGBT customers as sex starved people and don't have basic customers support ethics.

The largest LGBT dating site is riddled with auto boi. Spam. Commercial. Massage. Escort guys... drug peddlers. Who recreate new account withIn seconds of ban. And they recreate it every time. It's appalling to know how easily the security can be compromised.

All I did was reporting of commerce guys and why a pic of me in vest and shorts sitting on couch is sexual suggestive, while the site is filled with guys in underwear in bedroom with their private parts outlining. And the next thing insee I banned message from grindr.

The so called largest LGBT site is serious security concern, no uniformity in moderating the pics. Have no control on spammers, prostitutes, drug peddlers who easy recreate account numerous times.

The customer support is non existent. They treat LGBT community as pieces of $#*! and sex starved pathetic human beings. The customer support lacks customer focus, customers who report gets banned.

Who is working right now approving pictures and emailing spam?

3:11 PM PST

This guy declines/all my pictures...
And email me extreme # of emails SPAM

Who is this TURD?

SPAMSUNSOLICITATED messages are from GRINDR

Banned for nothing took my money and didnt give a flying $#*!e about it. If you pay for a subscription they will just randomly ban you and keep your money and this is somehow legal?

Dont waste your time, People take pics from sites and put it on there profile pic, Ton of 10 year old photos nothing is updated They cant tell the difference between whats real and Fake,,,

I've given you no stars as you don't deserve any. Everytime I go to Grindr you don't fxxxking connect to the internet. Sort this out. Other the sites on my phone connect
