All of their annoying advertising has been related to gambling. Their advertising on gambling is imposed on the use with poo ups that cannot be deleted. Their web site won't function at all if BlockAd is installed. All in all a very manipulative and deceptive web site

I made an unlimited subscription (60 dollars per month in my country). Grindr banned me without explanation when I had 1.5 months left. They didn't even bother to answer when I contacted them despite making me lost more than 60 dollars. They seem to have 0 respect for their customer, you should look on the Internet they have shady practices (HIV scandal)with using your data and don't seem to respect RGPD/GDPR. If you still use this app don't subscribe to anything + signal the app to google/Apple!

Plus honestly, WTF do I have to actually say yes to everyone to be sure not to be ban? Does Grindr promote rape or sexual aggression?

Thieves
March 15, 2022

This is the second year that I have had money stolen from my account from grindr. I have never wanted to upgrade. And yet its taken £72 twice.
I contacted them and they have appologies. But still no money back. Be very careful its scamming money.

It's not the best app
January 2, 2022

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.

Ok... I DO like the Grindr format, BUT... their computer KEEPS BANNING MY ACCOUNT for no apparent reason! I am not rude to people as I chat with them. I do not stalk. I do not have an inappropriate pic in as my profile pic. I DO NOT send "repeat" messages to people that may be "flagged" as spam. But... my account(s) (I keep making new ones!) KEEP getting flagged and banned by their terrible computer. At first their customer service would unban me... but now I hear NOTHING back from them. Very unprofessional and frustrating!

I get contacted at least once a month from guys wanting money for sex. The last time was July 30, and the msg was "Pay for Sex". I immediately reported it to Grinder and have done so every week since and the account is still active. Conclusion: Grinder approves, supports and promotes PROSTITUTION! If you use an Apple device then write to Apple and let them know. If enough people write to Apple then they will remove this crappy app from the Apple Store and no one with an Apple device will be able to download their app.

Complaint's: 1 month paid review 19.99$ - Owned by China, Support SUCKS email only, not enough description space, cost/app not worth it very risky, chatting, profile review free unlike any dating/sex site which makes it even more RISK -death count? After payment 90% chance of getting banned on terms conditions for something you didn't do or no proof again support SUCKS, too easy to open account countless scam's overseas and abroad. Committed fraud with the help of APPLE STORE.COM countless times, one reviewer say's "They are thieves", couldn't be truer! Apple should know better!
Yes, we need a great dating site that supports itself by AD's, lower membership fees for all and tightens the security, risk, death's that happen all too well on dating sites. We all need to and deserve love which these day's is hard to find specially in the gay arena, c'mon investor's you can make money but getting rich on someone else's attempt at love is just another sick scam in my opinion.

I was advised I was reported for violation of Grindrs terms and conditions. When I contacted John G. In customer support he would not tell the the specific reason for which I was banned. I repeatedly requested an impartial 3rd party binding arbitration as provided in their terms and conditions and never received a response. Its a shame they expect members to adhere to their terms and conditions but they don't. I've sent a letter to the office of the chairman of the board of Beijing Kunlun Tech Co. Ltd., majority interest owner of Grindr, asking them to review my situation and now waiting for a response. Hopefully someone higher up will be concerned about how customer service is mistreating it's members.

Ban you after taking money
September 28, 2019

I recently joined, paid for three months and after one week I was banned with no explanation or refund. I have been using sites for ten years and have never had this, I certainly did not break any of their guidelines. A SCAM. BE CAREFUL. DO NOT PAY this company. It is also full of rent boys, overall a miserable experience. DO NOT PAY THESE PEOPLE
