Grindr alternatives

What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 50 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R4] Grindr 1/5 · GB Money grabbing fags.: Constant spam messages. Constant ads. Constant bot accounts. Actual cesspit of an app.
2. [R6] Grindr 3/5 · GB Truth: Possibly the worst, most exploitive app available. Constantly diverts to ads that cannot be removed without deleting the app. Apple should remove this anti-LGBTQ+ disgrace. I can’t even rate the app because Apple won’t allow the stars to be rated. I’ve complained to OFCOM and my MP.
3. [R7] Grindr 1/5 · GB Pop ups: Good to meet different people but the app is becoming unbearable with all the pop up ads and the age/face verification thing should be taken off because what if someone that’s closeted is using the app and get asked to have their face scanned, I’ll redownload the app when you take away the AI and the Subscriptions and the hundreds of Ads that pop up along with the facial recognition!
4. [R9] Grindr 3/5 · GB Great if you love adverts and fake profiles: Ads every few seconds are diving me insane. Also the number of fake profiles is infuriating. However, occasionally you can find a horny hook up
5. [R10] Grindr 1/5 · GB Poor: This app is getting worse by the day he day,constant adverts every 2 seconds,constant freezing so I have to delete it then reinstall it
6. [R22] Grindr 1/5 · GB full of bugs: randomly stops working, crashing, multiple notifications of the same messages
7. [R23] Grindr 1/5 · GB Ads crash the app: As the title says
8. [R30] Grindr 1/5 · GB Awful: So broken it’s embarrassing
9. [R3] Grindr 3/5 · GB Could be better: A lot scams from India, fake accounts. Be careful. The app is nice, but I hate fake profiles.
10. [R11] Grindr 5/5 · GB Banning: It’s not too accurate to ban users when this site can have viruses such users that are signed up other than casual meets, My account has been banned to no fault of mine when meeting up with ingenious guys who are ageists and despising of the natural also. Not on b it for social interaction purposes rather very nationalistic and c and b predicting c those who they think are vulnerable
11. [R1] Grindr 1/5 · GB BAN APPEAL: I was signing up to Grindr and had accidentally inputted the wrong DOB so the app thinks I’m a minor. I’m not and have valid proof of age ID. I contacted Grindr support about this and they said nothing can be done because I need an account for a ban appeal but I can’t even sign up for an account because my phone it banned from the app.
12. [R14] Grindr 1/5 · GB Shi company: Shi company blocked my account didn’t allow me to appeal
13. [R16] Grindr 1/5 · GB Emails are not being responded to at all: Sat here waiting for months to get a response on my ban appeal and still nothing! Utterly useless
14. [R26] Grindr 1/5 · GB Banned: This app is a complete joke. Been banned for ‘phishing, fraud or harmful links’. Nothing could be further from the truth. Constant ads, app was unusable when I was able to use it. Customer service if you can call it that is hopeless. Avoid this app. It’s broken.
15. [R19] Grindr 1/5 · GB Too many adverts: Too many invasive adverts. Too expensive. Pass. Deleted. Just gets worse.
16. [R27] Grindr 1/5 · GB Terrible App, poor customer service and very expensive: This is the worst dating app available and the amount that charge for it is terrible. No customer service they just rob you of you money.
17. [R28] Grindr 1/5 · GB Endless requests for payments: I paid 48 euros for a month, but I still have limited profile views, I have to see a video to access anyone, can’t see who has viewed me unless I pay more, and the endless and repetitive gaming video is hard to get rid of. What exactly did I pay for? To have the option to buy more options? Absolute scam
18. [R35] Grindr 1/5 · GB Just pointless: This is unusable. Ive paid in the past but the cost is extortionate. I cant afford that for so little
19. [R18] Grindr 1/5 · GB Ads & Madonna: Too many ads, plus now the whole Madonna stunt is just gross
20. [R37] Grindr 2/5 · GB Advertising: Genuinely the app becomes unusable after a while as the adverts are so constant but the cost of upgrading is so high the app is really putting me off. Also forcing us all to see Madonna’s advertising and forcing the redesign of the icon is beyond frustrating. I am unable to even change it back. So tactless.
21. [R39] Grindr 1/5 · GB Stupid madonna: Stupid madonna advert that you can’t get past without accepting. This means im not using it.
22. [R45] Grindr 1/5 · GB Spamware: The Madonna promotion is obnoxious as hell and the fact that it was done before providing granular control over notifications is contemptible
23. [R21] Grindr 1/5 · GB No control, poor filtering and lack of verification: Grindr used to feel like a GAY APP, now everything is mixed with no control. Too many profiles without basic info, men not interested in meeting men, and filtering doesn’t work. Age verification should also be stricter. I spend more time blocking than connecting.
24. [R38] Grindr 1/5 · GB Does nothing about stalkers: They do nothing when you report stalking or harassment, the app is not safe and should be used with complete vigilance. Don’t use any of your real information including email.
25. [R48] Grindr 1/5 · GB Grindr supports Transphobes: Hello, so since UK has became a terf island which has caused a load of transphobic bigots to appear on this app but when you fight back Grindr sides with them transphobes which goes to show you this app isn’t safe for LGBTQ+ people anymore, i had another one last night saying about ‘dead mothers clothes’ yet grindr again will turn a blind eye, do better or take your ap
