1. Ads Everywhere, Features Nowhere – Unfair Experience for Free Users

   Free users are exposed to a large number of ads, which already generates revenue for Grindr. However, at the same time, many features are locked unless you pay—such as seeing who viewed your profile, who tapped you, or accessing more profiles.

   This feels unfair. If ads are already making money for the app, then free users shouldn’t face so many limitations. Paying for extra features is understandable, but basic functionality shouldn’t feel like it’s behind a paywall and full of ads. It creates a frustrating experience that pushes users away rather than encouraging them to upgrade.

   Additionally, features like Taps and Favorites used to be more accessible, and bringing them back to their earlier, more user-friendly versions would greatly improve the overall experience. These were essential parts of how people connected, and limiting them now feels like a step backward.

2. Stop removing free features

   I really would like to keep using Grindr however this is becoming very difficult with removing free features such as favorites tab where you would be able to see last online time and limiting taps/views to only the last one. THERE ARE MILIONS OF ADDS but now basic features are being removed and are charged? The app is becoming impossible to use without XTRA which is already overpriced. The saddest thing is that this is the only app the lgbt community has in some countries.. So disappointed and dissatisfied

3. Has Note filter

   Moving favourites has meant we cannot see just those with notes as before. Can you add “has note” to the standard filters accessible by all. Would also be nice to be able to search notes. Thanks

4. Contact me only if you have a face pic

   Even if you put on your profile that you only accept contact with a photo, many people without a photo don't read the profile and continue sending messages. A feature that allows you to only accept contact with people who have a photo. Preferably, face photo

5. Stop extorting your users and bring back the block button

   So basically, Grindr Inc. has introduced a “hide” profile option and has officially replaced the traditional block option. So I went and looked up the feature on Grindrs website and found it amusing and condescending that this new feature is being pushed as the perfect solution for us users to rid ourselves of unwanted/unappealing profiles (because you know, we never had that option before. Truly guys, absolutely revolutionary).

   Here’s where it gets interesting. Now if you hide a profile from your grid and you pay the astronomical and absolutely fucking disgusting amount for an unlimited subscription, you’re rewarded with a fresh and shiny new homo to look at and all is as it was. However, if you’re an insignificant lowlife and desperate peasant that pays for Xtra or anything less than; you’re rewarded with no replacement profile and no shiny new homo. You get one less profile from the 600 that you originally signed up and paid for. You’re also expected to pay the exact same amount for Xtra even though you’re essentially dwindling down your list of prospects every time you “hide” someone from your grid and having the audacity to have preferences.

   I do have a question though: Hypothetically; say I’m someone who hates seeing and is beyond fucking over the influx of “straight” men who use their profiles to seek “only trans” profiles while using their own profiles to spread hate speech and share their obvious prejudice towards the remaining LGB-Q community. And say that I; as a GAY man using an app seeking other GAY men - am fucking done with the never ending profiles of trans women and ACTUAL FUCKING FEMALES (seriously wtf). And so over the course of 6 months I find myself “hiding” up to 350 profiles. At the end of that 6 month period and forever more - do I then only get access to 250 profiles? WILL STILL PAY the exact same amount even though things that were previously available to me are no longer available. How in the actual fuck is this fair? Because I choose to pay less than what someone else pays (because you know, I’d like to not spend my entire paycheque on grindr and I dunno, treat myself and buy a toothpick or something) I now have less options available because again, I have preferences? Honestly, you’re a group of fucking morons. But congratulations on making Grindr as appealing as Madonna on her latest world tour - essentially a used condom wrapped in a corset. Fucking cunts.

6. Fake advertising profiles for only fans and things

   My biggest pain point is especially the gambling adverts you cannot press the cross symbol to get out of it it takes you to the website this is in breach of regulations encouraging you to gamble also my idea for grinder is that you should be able to give a thumbs up or thumbs down because that way if you have nasty or horrible people they will not build up any thumbs up it is too open to abuse with bad people using the app

7. Favourites as filter , block vs hide , paid ‘Chat Now’ scrolls?

   By adding favourites as part of filters, you have effectively made that feature useless. You now get filtered favourites and that does not serve its purpose. Also replacing block with hide within a chat is also not productive. Why would someone want to hide vs just block. You really have some uncreative geniuses who just want to mess up the app. How much money will you extort from users. Now u have made viewing ‘chat now’ scrolls paid as well ….unbelievable

8. Ads

   How about backing off the ads. You have ads playing while a pop up screen will start another ad.. one clears but other still going.. than.. while that finishes yet another ad will start... Then you get a notification for a msg that is YET ANOTHER AD!!You think this might be a little of an over kill? You do this to get people to go unlimited yet the price is beyond reasonable even just to rid the ads. Seriously someone up top needs a reality check as they clearly have never tried using this app of recent times

9. Stop ads for paying subscribers

   Ads should be limited to non-paying subscribers. As a paying subscriber, I expect zero ads and find it terribly frustrating that not only am I fed ads in my inbox, but they cannot be deleted because every time I delete one it reappears instantly over and over and over and over again. ADS ARE FOR NON PAYING SUBSCRIBERS

11. For you

    The ‘for you’ selection produces people of no similarity or interest. There is no option to block them and neither (if you like them) can you favourite them. So blocking and favouriting need to be added to the ‘for you’ list.

12. Pricing gouging: cost of Unlimited and Xtra have me bamboozled

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns and disappointment regarding the current pricing structure for Grindr’s Unlimited and Extra subscriptions.

    After taking a one-year hiatus from the app, I recently decided to re-download Grindr. However, upon doing so, I noticed immediately that the app had become increasingly difficult to navigate without purchasing a premium subscription. The overwhelming pop-ups and advertisements not only disrupted the user experience but also caused my phone to crash at one point.

    Despite these challenges, I decided to re-subscribe to your premium plans, but I was absolutely shocked by the current pricing structure. To say that it feels like price gouging would be a severe understatement. While I understand that the cost of services is increasing across industries, the prices you are charging are not justifiable. In fact, they reflect a critical misstep in Grindr’s approach to research and development, alienating both long-time, loyal users like myself as well as everyday folk, most of which having all good intentions. Instead, this pricing targets catfish accounts and spam advertising.

    As a long-standing subscriber to Grindr’s Unlimited and Extra plans since their inception, I am deeply disappointed. Out of principle, I cannot support such unethical pricing practices, which directly contribute to the ongoing cycle of inflation. By continuing to raise your prices to unjustifiable levels, you are perpetuating the very problem of never-ending inflation. At some point, the cycle has to stop, and it starts with companies like yours taking a more responsible approach.

    I strongly urge Grindr to review its pricing structure and offer subscriptions at a more reasonable and fair rate. This would not only demonstrate a commitment to user satisfaction but also rebuild trust with users who feel increasingly alienated due to the sky, high prices and record number of catfish accounts.

    I hope you will take this feedback into serious consideration, as Grindr’s current approach risks alienating a significant portion of its user base.

    Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to hearing back from you regarding this matter.

    Sincerely,
    
    Ryan

14. Bring back the block button

    1. Personal Safety and Protection from Harassment
    
    The ability to block users is essential for protecting individuals from harassment, bullying, or unwanted advances. For LGBTQ+ users — a community that often faces higher rates of online harassment — the ability to instantly block harassers can prevent escalation and protect mental well-being. Without a quick and easy blocking option, users may be forced to endure continued contact with aggressive or inappropriate individuals.

    2. Protection from Predatory Behavior
    
    Grindr is used globally, including in regions where LGBTQ+ individuals face discrimination, persecution, or even legal consequences for their identity. The ability to block accounts provides users with a critical layer of security, allowing them to distance themselves from potential entrapment or blackmail attempts. In countries where LGBTQ+ rights are not protected, this feature could mean the difference between safety and danger.

    3. Prevention of Interaction with Minors or Other Inappropriate Users
    
    Users should be able to block people they identify as underage or those whose behavior is suspicious or concerning. Grindr’s own community guidelines encourage users to report underage profiles, but without the ability to block these users immediately, there is a risk of unwanted interactions before any action can be taken.

    4. Privacy and Mental Health
    
    For many users, especially those dealing with mental health challenges or past trauma, seeing messages from certain people can be triggering. Blocking allows users to maintain control over their experience on the app, reducing anxiety and protecting their mental health. Being able to curate one’s experience is a key part of maintaining emotional well-being online.

    5. Empowerment and Control Over Personal Space
    
    The ability to block someone is about more than safety — it’s about control. Apps like Grindr are often used for intimate, personal connections, and users deserve the right to define their own boundaries. Blocking gives users control over their experience, ensuring they are only engaging with people they feel comfortable with. Removing this option — or placing it behind a paywall — strips users of this essential right.

    6. Limited Alternatives Lead to Unsafe Coping Strategies
    
    Without the ability to block, users may resort to risky alternatives like deleting their accounts, hiding from the app entirely, or remaining exposed to harmful interactions. This can increase feelings of helplessness and diminish users’ trust in the platform.

    ---

    In summary, the ability to block users on Grindr is not just a convenience — it’s a fundamental safety feature. Restricting it behind a paywall or limiting its use for free users could put people at risk of harassment, exploitation, or even physical danger. For a platform that caters to LGBTQ+ users — a community with distinct safety needs — maintaining open access to the block feature is a moral and ethical responsibility.

    1. Personal Safety and Protection from Harassment
    
    The ability to block users is essential for protecting individuals from harassment, bullying, or unwanted advances. For LGBTQ+ users — a community that often faces higher rates of online harassment — the ability to instantly block harassers can prevent escalation and protect mental well-being.

17. For you (remove or opt out)

    I don't know what algorithm you are using for the "For you" section but everyone it shows me is 💯 not my type. You literally suggested a straight female to me. Why they are allowed in our gay space I have no idea but you paying users should be able to opt out of "for you" and be able to universally block by gender. How difficult is it to understand that gay men are attracted to men. You also need ways to categorize all the straight men looking for female and trans females so that I'm not sitting here blocking "trans only" profiles. You attempt at this faux equality only serves to annoy those who seek other types...

19. Cyber security - 2FA/Verification/Logged in devices

    The safety, security and privacy of users seems to be continually overlooked by Grindr up to 2024.

    In meeting the user need for app safety and security would align with cyber security standards being adopted by many cyber vendors.

    2FA - this option is really lagging for Grindr on the digital landscape of 2024.

    Verification - a way to gain assurance of user identity would offer the benefit of users feeling more safe and hopefully prevent misuses of the app by keeping it ages and user relevant with the added confidence that other users have been through this process and accounts verified to be specific to the actual person enrolled

    Logged in devices - understanding how many occurrences there are of user's user credentials being used to login, on what platform e.g. app.. mobile web, desktop and location would help create a more secure experience to alert when user accounts have been hacked and support the user to progress with making their account secure again.

20. Race search .
