1. Grindr, Fix These Major Pain Points – A Serious Note from a Paying Premium User

   I’m a long-time Premium subscriber, and I expect a smooth, well-designed, and logical app experience in return for the amount I pay. Unfortunately, Grindr continues to fall short in multiple ways. These are serious pain points that need immediate attention:

   ⸻

   1. Favourites Section Moved to Filters – Makes No Sense

   Favourites used to exist as a separate, accessible grid—clean and user-friendly. Now, it has been moved into the Filters menu, which is confusing and inefficient. To view my favourite profiles, I need to clear all active filters. This completely defeats the purpose of saving favourites for quick access. It’s poor design and needs to be reversed. Please restore the Favourites grid as a dedicated, one-tap-access feature.

   ⸻

   1. Expiring Photos Still Glitch and Crash the App

   Sending an expiring photo regularly causes the app to freeze, lag, or crash altogether. This has been a persistent bug for a long time, yet remains unaddressed. It’s unacceptable that a core interactive feature causes such major disruption—especially when it’s part of the Premium offering. This should have been resolved long ago.

   ⸻

   1. Message Delivery System is Misleading

   Previously, if a user was offline and I sent them a message, it would show as “Sent.” This small feature helped users understand someone’s availability. Now, all messages show “Delivered,” regardless of whether the user is online or not. This removes a valuable cue, reducing communication clarity. For a Premium experience, there must be better visibility into real-time interaction.

   ⸻

   1. ‘Hide Profile’ Feature is Buggy and Unreliable

   The new “Hide Profile” feature does not function properly. Profiles that are hidden often reappear within seconds, and I sometimes need to open and close a profile multiple times before it finally hides or allows blocking. This inconsistency creates a frustrating user experience and should not exist in a professionally maintained app.

   ⸻

   1. Profiles Seeking Women or Couples Don’t Belong Here

   Grindr is a space designed for gay and queer men. Yet, there are numerous profiles stating “looking for women,” “girls only,” or “interested in couples.” These profiles are misaligned with the platform’s purpose and degrade the experience for those using the app as intended. If these users want such connections, they should be using other platforms—not Grindr. These profiles should be actively moderated and removed.

   ⸻

   1. Premium Filters Are Too Rigid to Be Useful

   Even after paying for Premium access and applying filters, the app often shows “No profiles nearby” after just using two or three filters. That’s frustrating and makes the filter system feel like a trap. Filters are supposed to narrow results—but not to the point of leaving users with nothing to view. The algorithm needs serious refinement so that filters give realistic, usable results, not a blank screen.

   ⸻

   1. Essential Filter Options Still Missing

   The current set of filters is far too basic. It’s time for Grindr to evolve and provide smarter, modern filter tools that match user behavior and preferences. Here are essential filters and features that should already exist:
   • Chatted Today: Not just “Haven’t chatted”—add the reverse too
   • Online Now Toggle: Separate from “Recently online”
   • Combo Filters: (e.g., “Top + Muscular” or “Bottom + Slim”)
   • Verified Profiles Only: Filter by voice/photo/video verified users
   • Kink/Fetish Filters: (BDSM, dom/sub, feet, etc.)
   • Availability: “Free now,” “Later,” or “This weekend”
   • Lifestyle Preferences: Smoking / drinking filters
   • Custom Distance Input: Type exact km or miles
   • Language or Ethnicity: Optional filters for cultural comfort
   • Filter by Photo Type: (Face-only, NSFW, album shared)
   • Sorting Options: Distance, Age, Last Seen, etc.

   These filters would drastically improve search accuracy and user satisfaction, especially for those paying for Premium access.

   ⸻

   Final Words:

   Grindr has the potential to be the best platform in its category, but instead of improving functionality, each update seems to break something new. Valuable features are removed, long-standing bugs go unfixed, and essential tools like filters are underdeveloped or unreliable.

   It’s time for Grindr to listen to serious users, especially those paying for Premium. Focus on delivering logic, stability, and features that actually work—because right now, this doesn’t feel like a Premium experience at all.

   I’m a long-time Premium subscriber, and I expect a smooth, well-designed, and logical app experience in return for the amount I pay. Unfortunately, Grindr continues to fall short in multiple ways. These are serious pain points that need immediate attention:

5. Bring back the favourites tab

   Annoying that the devs have removed this feature yet again.

   The removal of this feature makes it harder to converse with friends and guys you like. You also can’t see your favourites notes.

   This is a simple and easy feature. The new was is not. Change it back.

8. “Hide” is useless. Does nothing useful.

   Removing the option to block someone and only allowing a temporary “Hide” is utterly useless. It accomplishes nothing of actual value to the end user. What value does hiding temporarily actually buy someone? If you don’t want to see or talk to them, block them. The “unblock” option has always been available. ???? I get that Grindr was trying to follow a couple of user asks (couple,) but you alienated the 90% of your users that use block as intended and completely removed the option in many cases to block someone permanently. Makes ZERO sense.

10. Paid “Tap History” is low-quality and guarantees nobody sees taps. Why use them now?

    Tonight I logged in to check my taps after I was out and about only to find they are now all blurred (even the latest one) as if they were as interesting to see as views. While I’d pay to see views, I’d never pay to see taps. They are very low quality and 90% of them are spammed from the same guys I don’t like and you couldn’t force me to like without it being rape. Today, sending taps are effectively sending messages into a void that the recipient will likely never see. It’s almost pointless now.

    I would like to preface this with the fact that I subscribe to XTRA on occasion and unsubscribe when I encounter job instability or a shift in priorities from worrying about men- because sometimes it just does not matter. Historically speaking, I don’t subscribe to dating apps for more than a few months at a time, so aiming for 100% subscription retention rates is unrealistic

    I get this is a persuasion to subscribe to XTRA, correct? Was it an extra feature or something that was free for several years? I would respect the cash grab if it meant putting in work making an extra feature that’s actually good, serves a common need and adds to the value of Grindr. However, “tap history” feels like selling me garbage. A slap in the face. The interactions were already low-quality in the first place. I send them as, “you probably won’t like me but I’m interested if you’re interested”, which feels as mutual and respectable as it gets.

    Making this feature paid only decreases the likelihood I even send taps in the first place, because now THERE IS A 100% CHANCE users do not see taps I send, especially if the most recent tap is blurred and paywalled.

    To the product managers of Grindr, you are basically killing off the “Tap” feature at this point, there is no reason to send them or even look at them because you just can’t.

    TIP: If XTRA (or even Unlimited) came with more specific filters for my type and taste in men, there is a 100% chance I’d subscribe more often just to see more men that I’m more likely to be into. That would be incredibly helpful and I’d pay for such efficiency because it saves years of my life searching. But to kill off taps and put them behind a paywall is such a low for a product value proposition. Out of ideas to sell? Why has nobody thought about showing people on my grid I may have seen in public before I went home? Seriously, I’m not sure if the people trying to sell XTRA are thinking the right way here. I’m willing to give you guys money, but not for crap like “tap history”. Ugh.

11. Profile pics

    U guys seriously have to get on with the program. U allow 1 profile to show ass and dick. The next profile u show that fucked up message some pics are not allowed. It seems 4 of u choose which profiles can upload which pics. If u don't like the profile u bring that shit up. If u like the profile u allow it to show full dick or ass. U'r inconsistency is problematic. Be fair with all. Don't discriminate or show favoritism with crap like profile pics. We all know grindr is a fuck app. So let fuck and enjoy th3 fucking

12. Bring back distance from pin in “Explore”

    Showing your current distance to profiles instead of distance from the Explore pin is dumb. Yeah I know I’m in Explore so I’m expecting the profiles to be far. Why show the distance in profiles unless it’s from the pin? Seriously considering not using this app after all these harmful feature/ui changes. Certainly not worth the money anymore either.

14. Taps and favourites

    If you don’t like taps they’re the most annoying thing in the world, and yet you’ve made them central to the UI and made favourites (by definition already an area of prime interest) harder to use by applying residual filters to it; we’ve already done the hard work on selecting our favourites, we don’t need active filters applied.
    Instead of all this dust rearrangement, how about your Product team spends more time detecting and blocking fake accounts? Actually add value for the customer rather than finding ways to fill a two week Sprint with nonsense.

    I suggest requesting registration verification also using valid identity documents that, by current laws, remain private and visible only to the manager of personal data, but at least we avoid that minors can register. it is dangerous...

20. Get rid of ‘for you’ I don’t want to be suggested women on Grindr

    The ‘for you’ feature is very poor, the point of Grindr is to find MEN in your LOCAL AREA, the explore searches are good, but I don’t need women or people miles away put at the top of my feed and suggested for me. You should be ashamed to be charging gay men so much money only to then homophobiclly shove women and trans in their faces. Disgrace.
