I have been banned from 3 accounts and they give no reason for the ban. I did follow their guidelines and did nothing wrong. Several people on the app advertise drugs and prostitution but still have accounts. I am not sure who is in charge of this site but I am taking legal action!

I am tired of talking to fake profiles, denouncing them and see Grindr do nothing about it. I even send the original photos of international celebrities fake profiles use, but they don't seem to care. Also, since it's been sold, grindr is popping ads out of the blue every 5min. It's sad to see such a great app become so mediocre.

It used to be a good app about 7 years ago. I used to meet real people. It was purchased by a Chinese firm and is filled with fakes and scammers. The profiles steal photos from other sources and create profiles that appear to be in your area but they are from China, Philippines, Russia and Africa. (Probably left over internet trollers used by the orange pig to win the election. Don't waste your time because the people in support with their stripper names are not real either

Worst gay app imaginable
February 11, 2019

The discrimination given when you're trying to post pictures is absurd. There is some real sleazy underwear pictures on there. I tried to post a pic of myself shirtless cut off at the bottom of my chest and it keeps getting denied. It makes no sense my face is in the picture and my chest that's it. They say underwear picture is not allowed yet there are plenty of them on there with bulges. I wonder who is banging who to get their sleazy pictures approved yet mine which are completely rated G are denied. This app is a complete and utter joke.

I have found Grindr to be nothing more than a pic collector playground. People are rude. They are blunt they come out and tell you what they want, what they expect! And if they are not into you, they will let you know how gross and disgusting you are and that they're not interested. There is no civility on the site. Most people just want to trade pics and that's it and once you trade the pics they will put your $#*! on block so fast your head will spin. This is the ugly side of what gay life has become. And Grindr does nothing to soften the blow. I absolutely find it repulsive. If you don't have a poor self-image once you initiate your profile, you sure will walk away with one after it's all said and done.

So have two accounts to see if it's true. One account paid for monthly. My second account I didn't pay for it. My paid account was banned for no reason. Followed the rules and got banned. My other account sent all kind crazy stuff. Guess what not banned yet.

If you want your money taking for no reason. Go ahead download the app and pay monthly fees.

Like most gay dating apps, this is no longer an app just for gay men. "Queers", women, trans men everywhere. Grindr wants to please everyone, so why not just kick out real gay men and let everyone in.

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!
