Make Grindr like Sniffies...More web-based vs app-based and browse outside of your location!
The competing platform "Sniffies" has alot of functionality that I would like to see on Grindr, but here are the top 2 most important.
Make Grindr more web-based and less app-based. Web-based has many "benefits" compared to app-based environments (posting nudes publicly comes to mind, hehe). But in all actuality, an app-based platform is tied to Apple or Google, and if someone changes platforms, their Grindr subscription cannot follow them (Apple app store Grindr Unlimited can't work on Google phones). It would be nice to have the choice to use my Grindr Unlimited perks on the website, Apple or Google (I understand you cannot pay 1 subscription for all 3 platforms).
Ability to browse outside of your geo-located area. Sniffies "travel" concept comes to mind here. As others have mentioned, there are some legitimate reasons why users might want (or need) to browse outside of their geo-location. It is a highly useful perk to have.
