I can’t figure you out. The app has become so irritating to use, beyond the people using it, which you obviously can’t control. But what can you control?

I feel like your objective is to encourage paying for premium service, but you’ve gone too far.

Why would I pay for a premium service on an app overrun with spam bots? Or why would I pay for Grindr when the features it permits can’t be accessed by a majority of your (unpaid) users? They can’t see who looked at them, can’t see who tapped them, can’t see enough users to actually be able to see me in their feed…? Glitches galore, new glitches and annoyances every week. But you want me to pay for what privilege exactly?

Your unpaid restrictions have driven away the chance/desire to access the paid features. The ads are so invasive and of such poor quality, never offering a real service or product. Not to mention the cost of premium accounts is truly double or triple what it should be considering the offering across the board (combined both features and users).

I guess I’m curious who’s greed and short sight is driving your users to better services? Grindr used to be THE revelation in socializing and dating. Now it’s been eclipsed many times over just by 2 other services, both of which offer more users and more features in the free versions, let alone the huge boost offered for a far more reasonably priced paid experience.

Grindr is lost in more ways than can be counted. I’d love to see you experience a renaissance and score a huge comeback. You were the first to the party, and now you’re the last one, lingering over scraps but still trying to convince your guests to come back for more.

Baby, there’s nothing left.
