I have used Grindr consistently for 15 years and paid for it for the past 10. In my opinion, nothing has ever compared to this app. That being said the tide is changing and I believe I understand why. I recently went back to the basic version of the app and I realize just how bad it is for these people trying to use it. Long gone of the times where it was still a usable app… No wonder so many people new to the scene over the past five years or so or not even considering Grindr as an app that they would want to use. You need to make the free version popular again otherwise you are going to kill your own brand and kill this app forever. Don't wait until it's too late, Please. I am not going to resubscribe and pay for something that people aren't using. I paid for it because people were using it.
