Sigh, app is unusableGrindr makes so much money per employee because they have maybe 40 people in total and 10 of them are dedicated to making sure you cannot touch the screen without 3 ads popping up

Malicious dev teamOnly thing they think about is how they can get more money from this app. Not optimised at all, full of bots and just shoves ads in your face over and over. Steals all your personal info/messages without direct permission to elevate its useless ai modes that they charge like $500 for. Not a singl…

Greedy appGrindr had never been perfect, but it is only getting worse. They now make money off of your personal photo album by charging a fee to people you have previously shared an album too so they can view them again. All in app purchases are so insanely expensive they are clearly only targeting “whales”.…

Bring Back the Old ExperienceI wish I could talk to people from all over Australia without needing a subscription. We had that option before, and I really enjoyed it. I still enjoy using the app, but honestly, it’s not quite the same as it was back then.

SortaWould be nice for pics to open on other devices when you sign in from them also 😪 Don’t like the advertising upsell yikes they take up space

5stars butttttSometimes the app run to sleep and don’t notify anything
