Grindr Reviews

Whether you're looking to meet someone for tonight or for the rest of your life, Grindr is the ideal choice for individuals in the LGBQT community. Connecting with similarly-minded people can be hard, and if you're sick of hitting up the same bars and clubs in search of others, Grindr can provide you with the solution. While it started out primarily as a dating app, it's since found traction as a means to find friends, business partners, and artistic collaborators within the local LGBQT scene. If you've ever used a dating app like Tinder or OKCupid, you'll have little trouble jumping in to the Grindr experience. Likes constitute the main currency on Grindr, and these are handled with simple left and right swipes, making it easy to identify people who interest you and quickly pass on those who don't. That's not to say the interface is exactly the same, and Grindr does a great job of making their UI unique and smartly catered to the dating experience. It falls somewhere in between Tinder and OKCupid, using a tiled layout that puts pictures and basic information front and center. Unlike Tinder, you won't be presented with a single prospective match at a time, and unlike OKCupid, you won't have to worry about a cluttered mess of metrics assaulting you on each picture. This tiled layout is designed to match the busy needs of professionals in the modern world. A Fresh Faces stream near the top of the page helps you connect with new members in the community, and Grindr prioritizes individuals close to you through the use of GPS, expediting the process of connecting quickly. This is a smart move in a world where online dating often involves chatting endlessly with someone through the text interface before meeting up with them. Grindr puts an emphasis on connecting individuals in the real world rather than helping them find online friends. But if you're looking to meet exotic people from faraway locales, you have that option as well. Grindr allows you to search for matches throughout the world, a great choice if you're looking to move or go on vacation and meet locals along the way. This is just one component of Grindr's deep bench of filtering options, which help you narrow down the matches that display according to a wide range of criteria. While many of these options like age, interest and body types, are standards in the online dating business, Grindr is unique in its inclusion of "tribes". These cover many of the most prominent subsections in the queer community like bears, daddies, and twinks. A dating app lives and dies on the size of its community, and Grindr has managed to build a pretty healthy user base in its years of experience. Over six million users have signed up for Grindr, increasing the odds that you'll find someone who's right for you regardless of where you live.

After many years of being a user of Grindr, my profile was arbitrarily and without consultation with me, banned for "bullying and harassment". No other reason was given, and no review was made and I was not given the opportunity to face my accuser or know what I had done wrong. I suppose it did do me some good as the site is now mostly full of bots trying to get your credit card details.

F#*$king disgraceful. Not gonna spend any more time on this, Grindr has robbed enough of my precious time I get to spend in this world.
