Advertising is fine and necessary for a free app. But the ads make sounds when the phone is silent, they take you to the app store even if you close them. In short, they are very annoying and cause you to close the app every time they appear.

Allow remove ad with one click, not various steps like with that annoying game ad.

Hi hello

Im located in thailand and ive been a constant user of this app and lately i notice and its getting a burden is this ads going so aggressive on this app, I mean i understand this app needs ads for it to thrive but latey it has been aggressive that everytime i pass through it or when i see an adpost in every part of the app it redirects me to the browser or google play to download their app and its not cool ive been constantly and im not even clicking those ads, just redirect me automatically to their website or google play. And from time to time it happen it crashes my phone

If y'all could fuck off with these ads that'd be great. Also, no one cares about drag. Fuck that disgusting liberal shit

There is an ad every time you click a profile every time you block someone every time you favorite someone literally every turn there is an ad and it comes out of nowhere full screen full volume super loud it is annoying it is obnoxious inappropriate and distracting it is even almost caused an accident to the person who was driving me somewhere so therefore it is also lawsuit worthy! Get rid of the damn ads or you'll be hearing from my lawyer or somebody else's lawyer One ad per day that is muted is fine. Y'all need to get your app under control and get rid of the bots get rid of the spam and the gif messages, lower your rates to where they're more acceptable more people will subscribe, and when I hit send message I expect it to send and be delivered not freeze and turn red I swear Grindr has more bugs and issues than a hospital has diseased people You guys used to be good back in the day and now you're just trash hot dumpster fire trash. Another great thing is if grinder could go back to being men only I don't know how many times I've seen an actual female on grinder it's weird it's obnoxious and it's just taking that much space from all the other possibilities that can be on there face pictures should also be required no more blank profiles absolutely zero tolerance for it You guys should also have absolute zero tolerance for drug use in any way shape or form You know how many people I have constantly offering me illegal substances meth heroin crystal meth it's disgusting Grindr is the place you go to have sex get drugs and potentially murdered get your shit fixed or receive a lawsuit within the next 30 days I'm done fucking around!

My gosh! That's a brilliant idea.

Stop making me click twice. It just pisses me off and makes me more determined to NEVER buy from the advertiser.

Also stop forcing me to wait till the end of an ad.

Stop interrupting me with ads. I seriously never pay attention. You're fooling yourselves and cheating your advertisers by increasing the accidental clicks.

You NEVER win when you coerce people! Ever hear of consent? If you have to coerce people to pay attention, you're NOT desirable. Fix the ad or the product.

Rule #1 is associate a positive emotion with your product.

Advertising is about ENTICING not ANNOYING people.

Instead, insert ads among the faces like you do among the messages. I (and everybody else) always click on what entices me. 1 ad profile every 10 guys maybe. You have to make it enticing, not ANNOYING.

Create a searchable 'page' or category or whatever to list ALL the ads there. People LOVE perusing through shops to see what's available and to know who supports our community. Build it, they will come!

I would go to that page on purpose and shop!

Stop annoying people.

You guys probably don’t give a shit what happens as long as your ads get through.. Fuck all of you who work there.To have some double standards when it comes to certain pictures is just baffling. I have seen profiles with people that are practically naked and yet my photo gets rejected for not having my shirt on.. It feels like the moderators are also taking over my account and messing with the overall user experience. The “Something Went Wrong” messages have been popping up ever since the moderators messed with my profile remotely. It’s unfair and I feel targeted by someone working there who probably hates me and is abusing his mod powers.

I know Grinder depends on ad sales for income, but some of the ads are not only obtrusive but almost IMPOSSIBLE to click off. Lately the ads for ROYAL MATCH seem to pop up every fifteen minutes, to the point where I am going frigging nuts. Frankly the persistence of these ads is so annoying I wonder that ANYONE would ever play their stupid game at all... personally I want I want the King to get crushed by the rock, fall off the mountain, get run over by the mining cart, crap in his pants, and stop annoying everyone! As bad as those PayPal gaming ads Grinder used to run. And I know one can pay for a membership and avoid these--but ads that you cannot click off (I sometimes literally have to log off to close the window) are beyond obnoxious and do neither Grinder or the companies running the ads any favors. Frankly, I'm surprised Grinder doesn't police their advertisers more carefully as some of these ads border on harassment. Seriously.

TOO MANY ADS

Remove double Ads, two in a row. I understand an ad supported, free model; however two ads in a row are annoying and does anyone pay any attention to the second one that you can skip in one second. Probaly a different price for advertisers, but I would rather see more single adds than two in a row.

I understand that i will see adverts when using the free version of this app but why am i seeing adverts for a clothing brand for plus size women. Seems a bit pointless on a gay male dating app. I see this almost every time an advert pops up lately.

Ads on this app slow it down to the point of that it's basically unusable at times - especially for folks with older devices. They precent me from scrolling, clicking, etc.

Grindr has paying members so it doesn't need ads to make money. Remove the ads they are so annoying and a waste of time, especially that stupid candy crush one

Why am I getting all these pop up ads when I am a paying member?

I also have a problem with full screen ads appearing right when you are doing something accidentally causing you to click it. I know that you are trying to increasing your click through rate and make more money but this is incredibly annoying and opens up all sorts of link. This is even more problematic when you don’t filter your ads for spam and the users end up opening spam links. If you were to incentivize watching ad (for example by bringing back see more users after watching an ad) it would be much more preferable.

The new Call of Duty ads are incredibly disturbing — very triggering — why is there no way to opt out? I never knew how much I could miss the Pokémon Go ads!

I have been tweeting about this to Grindr. We need more ppl making this issue public.

There should be no reason that Grindr thinks it is acceptable to use gun violent advertising as a source of income.

I'm using the hashtag #LGBTviolence .

No comment

I'd be willing to pay a small monthly fee ($2-$3) just to not have ads. I don't need any of the other features that come with the me expensive subscriptions. I just wanna get rid of the ads!!!
